Embalming Testimonial.

Mr.. H. E. Potter, who Is in the
undertaking business in Plymouth.
CAL, received a letter from Des
Moines. Iowa. dated Decem ber 18th,
which speaks for ltsself regarding the
body of Fenimore Cooper, who died
very suddenly on December 9th, in
Plymouth. The remains were placed
in Mr. Potter's care, and he embalmed
and shipped the same to Des Moines,
Iowa.
Des Moines, Iowa. Dec. 10, 1905.
Dear Mother Cooper
Fenimore's remains arrived here
Wednesday night, the 18th inst. and
he was buried from our house yester-
day afternoon. There was a world
of flowers sent in by all who knew
him and he looked very natural. The
care given him in Plymouth must
have been very complete and satisfact-
ory, as the undertaken here said there
was nothing more needed, and that
the body was all right. The girls felt
much relieved to see him look Sc
natural. +. M. HubbeIl.

A Holiday Din.

The Christmas of the Greek church
was celebrated i'll jackson on SatuI-
day and Sunday last in the noisiest
fashion ever known in this vicinity
The celebrators we're mostly Slavon-
ians, and the din was kept up from
Saturday evening until far into Sun
day night. The demonstrations con-
sisted of the firing of giant powder
on the hill overlooking the town, and
an incessant shooting of pistols in
every part of town. The disturbance
of the peace was an annoyance and a
source of danger in many ways.
Sleep was out of the question the
greater part of Saturday night. The
explosions of giant powder were
sometimes terrific, shaking the build
ings, after the manner of fourth of
July bonn bardment. This was bad
enough, but the firing of pistols load
ed with ball in the thoroughfares of
town was worse. There was shooting
done all over town, and it is a wonder
that some one was not hurt.
On Tuesday last we we're called to
look at the marks of shots at the re-
sidence of Mrs Payne, opposite the
Hamilton tract. In the early part of
Sunday evening, the inmates heard a
shot strike the house, and one made a
remark about 1t at, the time, not
knowing, however, the closeness of
the danger. A day or so after the
place where the bullet struck was dis
covered. A tin flower pot stood in
the corner of the south wing of the
front porch. The pistol ball passed
through the tin can with its earth
contents, and then bedded itself in
the wooden framework of the house,
at a point few inches above the
floor. The bullet was easily seen at
the time of our visit, and there was
no possibility OF any mistake as to
how it got there. At the time the
shot was heard Miss Nellie Payne,
was in the room opposite or near
where the shot struck. In the absence
of the flower pot the ball would no
doubt have passed through the
weather boarding to the inside.
| Another bullet hole in the same
side of the residence, but near the
roof, was also in evidence.
A number OF other instances are
reported of buildings being struck
with bullets. These proceedings have
been the talk of the street the whole
week. Why are such doings tolerated?
Is there no law to stop such disturb
ances and the use of firearms in that
fashion? These questions were heard
on all sides, and for which no sstis
factory answers could be given.
Americans are accustomed to noisy
celebrations for the fourth of July,
and are allowed some latitude on that
occasion, and why should not citizens
of foreign birth be permitted like
latitude in celebration of their
national holidays. Such is the gist
of the line of defense. Every law
abiding citizen depIores these things;
and hopes that some effort will be
made to stop such carrying on under
municipal control. We are living
in land of liberty, but not of license
to commit breaches of the peace.

Hurt by Premature Blast.

Last Monday four men employed
in the sinking operations at the
Oneida narrowly escaped with their
lives from the premature explosion
of a loaded huIe. The men were j.
H. StapIeton, Phillip Cavalero, w.
j. Bryant and M. Burkich. They
we're employed in the winze which Is
being sunk from the 22O0 level for the
purpose ct exploiting the mine to
greater depth. They had drilled the
thirteen holes, and were lighting the
fuses, preparatory to getting out of
dangers way. Before they had finish
ed splitting, one hole was exploded
prematurely, owing probably to a
defective fuse, which in spite of all
precaution will happen occasionally.
By miracle none of the workers
we're hurt beyond few bruises not
sufficient to incapaciate them, except
Cavalero. He received the brunt of
the flying debris. He had his eye and
lip badly cut, and piece of rock
struck him in the chest, burying itself
in the muscles, requiring a surgical
operation to remove it. He is not
dangerously hurt, but will be dis
abled for several weeks from active
mining.

The Reaper Death.

Miss Lille B. Lemin, whose serious
illness was mentioned in these
columns last week, died at the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs L. Lemin
on Summit street yesterday morning,
shortly after three o'clock. She had
been confined to her bed for about
three weeks. From the outset of her
last illness she seemed to abandon
hope of recovery. The disease took
on fatal form when 1t assumed the
character of inflammation of the mem
branes of the brain. Deceased was
born in Amador City, but from early
infancy has passed her life IN jack
son. She was cut off in the bloom of
womanhood, aged % years, 4 months
and five days. She was a member of
Ursula ParIor n. d. q. W., and of
Orc Fino Circle of Foresters. Of a
cheerful, amiable and loving char
acter, her retirement from the scene
of earthly activity in obedience to the
relentless DEGREES of death, is univers-
ally deplored by hoist of admiring
friends. Besides her afflicted parents,
she leaves a brother, Ernest Lemin,
and number of relatives in Amador
City. Funeral services will be held
in the M. E. church Jackson, on
Sunday morning at II O'Clock; after
which the remains will be taken TO
Amador City, where the interment
will take place in the family plot at
that cemetery, at 9 O'Clock tile same
afternoon.
The unusually long death roll this
week is increased by the sudden death
of Miss Nellie F. White, the teacher
at Big Canyon near ShingIe Springs,
who passed away on December 27th
Miss White was preparing to go home
for the holiday vacation and had put
on her travelling garb for that purpose
when she was stricken by death. Her
illness was SO brief that no physician
could be called, but her brother in
law, physician, was there shortly be-
foreher death and stated that she was
afflicted with heart disease and that
the final result was more or less ex-
pected. Miss White was aged about
sixty years. The remains we're sent
to Lodi for interment, that being her
home.-El Dorado Republican.
Deceased was sister of Mrs DIR.
Hutchins, for several years resident
of Jackson, and was welI-known here
abouts. The body was taken to
Woodbridge, where her sister now
lives. and the funeral was conducted
by the United Brethren church on
Friday, December 90. She was
woman of high principle and Iovable
character. Was born in New England
and lineaI descendant of Peregrine
White, who was the first white cLild
born off the coast of New England,
she was greatly respected by all who
knew her, and many hearts will ache
at the news of her demise.
Andrew j. McLane, pioneer re
sident of the neighborhood of Clin-
ton, died in Volcano on Sunday last.
He had been in failing health for
long time, and the end was not un-
expected by his friends. The inter-
ment took place in Volcano on the
9th instant, the villagers and settlers
near and far attending to pay the last
tribute of respect to the departed.
He was IA years of age and native
of New York. His wife preceded him
to the land of the slIenJ many years
ago. He leaves one son W. j. Nc
Lane, ditch tender for the Stand
ard Electric Company, near West
Point.

The SIN ,ckeG FroCk.

The shocked frock, says a writer in
Harper's Bazaar, dates back to the thlr'
teenth century, when it was worn by
women and girls, and was, of course,
richly decorated with needlework.
again, in England, during the early
part of tl>c nineteenth century, a
smock frock was worn, but this time
by the farm hands, countrymen, etc.
1t was a loose garment, like a mans
night shirt, but made of coarse holland
or Jean. These were gathered at the
wrists and neck and worked with elab-
crate stitches, falling loose to below
the knee" The smock, with its all
but forgotten needlework decorations,
was revived some years ago by makers
of artistic gowns in London, and had a
great vogue for a time. One WELL
known house still makes a specially
of waists and gowns with this work.
For little girls slips nothing prettler
was ever devised.

Strange Fires.

Dust is a wonderful producer of
fires. There have been instances in
postoffces where the dust Of the mail
bags suspended in the rear Of a close
room exploded with terrific force. Dust
explosions are of frequent occurrence
in flour and drug mills. The origin OF
many fires in tailor shops may be
traced to the so-called dry cleaning OF
clothes. A rag dipped in naphtha is
frequently used in removing grease
spots from garments. The rag soaked
with infammable fluid is thrown upon
the floor. When the shop is closed up
and the air is confined, the naphtha-
soaked material will of itself generate
fire. Bales of cotton placed in the hold
Of a ship are often the cause of disas-
trous fires. Frequently a spark from a
cigar finds q resting place in a cotton
bale, where it shoulders for weeks.
The dark hall in tenement houses is
the indirect originator of fires. Greasy
mating or small heaps Of paper lie
about. A match not cxtinguished or a
cigarette stub Is thrown down n a
blaze results.-Fire and Water.

yotles which must be noted as being
exceedingly serviceable as well rs
dainty, both for separate blouses and
for the entire gown.
The waist is made with the yoke,
which is cut in two portions, the front
and the backs. Both front and backs
ere tucked at their upper edges and
are joined to the yoke, the closing be-
Ing made invisibly ut the left. The
sleeves are moderately full, finished
with deep fitted cuffs, which allow a
choice of the straight or pointed upper
edges.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is three yards twenty
one, two and three-Quarter yards TWEEN
ty-seven or one and three-Quarter
yards forty-four inches wide with one
and a quarter yards of tucking and
three and a quarter yards of insertion
to make as illustrated.
The waist consists Of a fitted lining,
which can be used or omitted as pre-
ferred, the front and the backs. The
yoke is simply applied over the waist
and the long cuffs can be either faced
onto the Innings or attached to the full
portions of the sleeve when the waist
is left unljned.

Mushrooms in Bricks.

The work of the Plant Bureau is In
character almost infinitely varied
Take for example the successful ex-
periments recently made in the grow
ing Of improved varieties of mush-
rooms. If you will visit the town OF
Columbia, Mo-, you will find there q
great establishment with surroundings
which suggest a brickyard in full OPP
GRAFTON. 1t is, in fact, a brick factory,
but the bricks which are stacked in.
huge piles out-of-doors, are not OF clay
but Of mushroom spawn-spawn, that
is to say, of a superior quality, guar
anteed to produce much finer muSh-
rooms than those hitherto purchasable
in the markets.
This industry is the outcome Of a dis
coyery, made by n Of the Plant Bu-
reau's experts, that it was practicable
to introduce small bits Of mushroom
into sterilized manure, and, when q
~thread-like vegetation Of the fungus
had run all through the manure, to use
the latter for the seeding Of mushroom
beds. Inasmuch as only the largest
and finest mushrooms are chosen Tor
the purpose, the spawn obtained is Of
a superior variety and yields mush-
rooms Of corresponding quality. BY
mixing it with heaps Of compost the
latter is soon converted into spawn OF
like high grade, which, made INTO
bricks, finds a ready market at q very
remunerative price.-Rene Bache, y
the Outing Magazine.

Gov. Gilmore,s Signature Good.

A story is told Of how the late ex-
Governor Joseph A. Gilmore, Of New
Hampshire, when he was superintend-
ent Of the Concord and Claremont Rail-
road, once wrote a letter to one Of his
section bosses who had done some
thing to displease him. All the man
could make out was the date and Su-
p~erintendent Gilmore's signature.
Some time a%fterward, being in Con
cord, the man went to call on the su-
p~erintendent at his Office.
Hello, John, how do you do?" said
Mr.. Gilmore. "Well, what are you
doing now"
! why, I'm up here at the same place
on the section, Mr.. Gilmore" replied
John.
"Whatm said Mr.. Gilmore; didn't
YOU get q letter from me?' naming the
date.
"Why, yes, certainly" answered
John. ,
"Well, didn't you know that was
letter of dismissal?"
Letter of dismissal" cried the as
tonished John. mo! I couldn't make
it out, except that it was from head
quarters and signed by you, sir. Bu1
after some study I concluded it was
pass. As none Of the conductors on the
road could read it, they all accepted
NV statement that 1t was q pass from
Mr.. Gilmore, and I have been riding
on it ever, since"
John kept his place on the section

Hlnin Blouse.

No matter how many fancy and elab-
crate blouses the wardrobe may con-
tain, there are always occasions when
n plain one is in demand. Illustrated
is a model that is susceptible Of a great
many variations, that is so simple as
to be quite easily and readily made,
and which is suited both to the silk
and to the wool materials and to the
simple washable ones. In the iliustra-
ton it is made of white lawn with
the wide yoke and cuffs Of eyelet en-
broidery, but this applied yoke can be
of any contrasting material and can be
made either on the pointed outline or
on the square one as may be liked.

"A SILLY toy"
Toothbrush Experiences in Its Pioneer
DAVIS,

Toothbrush Experienced in Its Pioneer
Days.
Colonial diaries and letters make it
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping TOOTH
aches, swelled faces and the early loss
or forcible extraction Of teeth which
at q later period might have been
saved to render their owners many
years of further service. No wonder,
since the care of the teeth was little
understood, and that little often but
negligently practiced.
Toothpicks were known; the tooth
brush was not, although rough substl-
tutes were employed, made Of fattened
sticks split and pounded at Il end to
a stiff, fbrous fringe. Toothbrushes,
when first introduced, were regarded
as by no means important accessories
to the toilet, but rather as minor lux
uries, and suitable for women only,
says the Youths Companion.
The diary of q London merchant
trading in the colonies. has this entry:
Bought a Toothbrush for my wife,
which, used together with salte water,
very strong, and a wasshe Of Herbs,
she is told will keep her Teethe from
falling out or getting hollowe. The
Salte and Herbes may we'll prove
strengthening to her Gummes, web are
tender, but for the brush it scenes but
n ciIiu rTov borIv like tn ware the
worth of its price and scarce cleanley
save when new. Butt she must have
it, being n new thing late from
France"
In the famous collection of the let,
tiers of the Verney. family, as we'll, the
toothbrush is referred to as ian elegant
trife, now used by the ladies OF
France"
But when Sally Annis, a Colonial
belle, wrote of it to her sister, she had,
like the London merchants wife, good
hopes of its proving of more than
trifiing value. Her seafaring father
had just brought her one, along with
other gifts.
BESIDES these, and ye smalle combe
he BIT. me q new mouth-brush made OF
eyvory," she wrote, "the back parte
inlayed very pretty with silver; and ye

Tha Meaning of Conservation.

There is an old Dutch picture of a
little child dropping a cherished toy
from it's hands, and at first sight its nc
ton seems incredible, until. at the cor
her of the picture the eye is attracted
to a white dove winging its flight to-
ward the emptied outstretched hands.
Similarly we are prepared to forego .
GOOD deal when once we catch sight o.
the spiritual acquisitions which becko1
to us. And this is the true way tt
reach conservation and surrender. DE-
not ever dwell on the giving up side
hut on the receiving side. Keep IL
