Depth of Ocean Gables.

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section OF the ocean regardless of the
depth. Some portions of the Atlantic
cables now In use are over three miles
below the surface. There is also no log
ical reason why you should continue to
suffer from loss of appetite, belching,
hatulency, sour stomach headache, in
digestion, dyspepsia, or malaria, fever
and ague when Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will positively cure you. 1t has cured
thousands OF other cases, probably more
serious than yours. during its half CEN
fury experience and this, together with
the fact that prominent physicians never
hesitate in recommending 1t, should be
sufficient reason foe urging you to try
1t. The genuine has our Private Stamp
over the neck of the bottle.

the loss of their only SON Fred Weston,
when his father left this field of medical
practice eight years ago for one more
extended, was youth well liked by all,
quiet in department. ingenious and in
tellectual in mind, and of more than usual
thoughtfulness as n boy. Promise of
good manhood thus given was fulfilled
in maturer years. He followed the car
penter's trade and Married Miss Nettie
Hinman Of New Haven, who, with two
daughters survives him, to whom sym
pathy from our community is extended.
For two years he had been a clerk in a
general store. Never very strong, he
had not sufficient vitality to resist the
last sudden and brief illness which soon
became critical. Besides his parents he
left three sisters, Lena, wife of Engineer
Gates of South Londonderry: Bertha, a
graduate of the high school in New
Haven: and Grace. student in the
Mortified seminary.

The smartest house gowns must be
on loOse-fitting, graceful lines, and even
hint OF crlnoline is not evident, un-
less in the width around the skirt and
the multitude of pleated and gathered
fiounces in lace or chiffon that are re-
quisite to the finish OF the skirt. II
must be understood that these fiounces
and ruffies are never on the skirt, but
under the gown itself, or else ON the
underskirtr always so arranged as to
hold out the skirt. but not as part Of
the trimming. The smartest tea gowns
are, as mas been the fashion for some
years. most costly and elaborate in
material and trimming, but there are
several new styles, says Harper's Ba-
zar, that can he carried out for much
