This piece of road has been very bad for long time and is used mostly by the factory teams, which should have a good, solid road as this is one of the busiest factories in the state. The business has been running day and night, giving employment to about 50 skilled paper makers. Those teams can be seen going from the factory to the railroad station just as regular as clock work.

Watts of New Haven, William C.. Hine of New York, Phineas E. Clark Of New Milford and Edwin S. Hollis ter of Washington. The beautiful flowers with which she was sur rounded were fitting tributes as all who knew her remember her love and care for the many plants and flowers that frightened the home, and always flower in bloom at all seasons for the sick or afflicted or the shut-in whose life she could cheer.

CRYING NEED, AS HE SEES IT.
Companion of Irritated Divines Came to the Front with Order to
 the Waiter.

Joaquin Miller is to establish a colony of poets in Fruitvale. Cal. Mir. Miller, discussing this colony recently, said:
 We poets will, of course, argue and Squabble. That will be delight ful. Arguments and squabbles over Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny- son and Keats are pleasant and sen sible things, you know. They are not like political or religious argu- ments, which in their bitter rancor al ways make me think of three Maine divines
 While three Maine divines were supping together, two of them be- gan to argue about the comparative religious merit of the royal houses of Stuart and Orange. The argument became heated. The divines grew ex- cited and angry.
 William III. was a great rascal, roared the first, as he struck the table with his fist "A great rascal, and spit upon his memory!'
 "The second divine, turning very red, shouted:
 !" No, it's James II. that was the rascal. I spit upon his memory
 At this point the third divine rang the bell, and said gently to the waiter:
 Spittoons for two, please.

TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE,
Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf- ficient to Lead Hearers to Ex-
 pect the Worst.

The Shakespeare club of New Or leans used to give amateur theatrical performances that were distinguished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with gor- geous costume, as one of the lords in waiting had only four words to say: "The queen has swooned." As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Rowing his thanks, he faced the king and said, in high pitched voice: "The swoon has queened."
 There was a roar of laughter; but he waited patiently, and made an other attempt:
 'The sween has cooned."
 Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said in voice which could be heard all over the house. Come off, you doggoned fool"
 But the ambitious amateur refused to surrender, and in rasping fal- setto, as he was assisted off the stage, he screamed: ''The coon has sweened. ."-Success Magazine.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
Unselfishness in Life Is the One Thing That Will Transform All
 Things to Gold.

The moment we set about the task or making every human being we come in contact with better for know. ing us-more cheerful, more coura- geous and with greater faith in the kindness of God and man-that mo- ment we begin to attain the third pur- pose of life-personal happiness
 Would you possess the magic secret of the alchemist which transforms all things to gold?
 It is unselfishness-or, to use a bet ter word, selfessness.
 He who goes forth bent upon being always kind, always helpful, in the lit tie daily events of life, will find all skies tinted with gold. all his nights set with stars and unexpected flowers of pleasure springing up in his path way.
 And all his tears shall turn into satisfactorily Eagle.

Floating Institutional Church for

moved from the old hulk, and the rooms amidships that used to open into the engine room have been com bined into the assembly hall.
 The after deck has been boarded in and transformed into a reading room. Tables and chairs, with many books, magazines and newspapers, give the place homelike appearance, and here the sailors of the Seven Seas, with human derelicts from many lands, congregate in the afternoons and evenings to find out what is go- ing on in the great world.
 Really the Seaman's Bethel is a sort of institutional church. The after part of the hold has been fitted up as gymnasium. Here also is a bowl ing alley; and in another corner are bath tubs and a water heater. An other part of the hold is fitted up with hunks, where the sailor who finds himself broke" between voy- ages is made welcome to spend the night-or as many nights as he pleaSes.
 Every Thursday and Sunday even- ing Gospel services are held, but no collection ever is taken. The mission Is maintained by the Seamen's Friend society as a true charity, on the prin- ciple that salvation is really free.

Never Missed School in ii Years.

The managers of the Sheerness schools have had their attention called to the remarkable attendance made by the family of resident named Hutchings. His daughter Bertha. who is leaving school at the age of IA, commenced attending at the age of three years, and has never missed an attendance nor been late during the whole period of II years in which the schools have been opened
 4.753 times. Another daughter, Eth el, was presented with gold medal few years ago as reward for seven years perfect attendance, and there are five other children of the family who have medals for similar records. The council school managers have de. ciGed to ask the Kent education committee to make some official rec. ignition of Bertha Hutchings' re markable unctuality.--London Mail

The Newer May.

Many ideas in regard to women have entirely changed, and among the better and wiser changes is that old thought that the women who were given to good works must needs be dowdy. It is undeniable that good" women used to wear dowdi- ness as sort of hall mark of vir- tue. As matter of fact, dowdiness is merely mark of bad taste and a sign of some lack in the mind. Wom- en are no longer lacking in the wis dom that chooses pretty rather than ugly clothing, and those who do not make the best of their appearance are losing a golden opportunity of giving pleasure.

BAD DREAMS Caused by Coffee.

sI have been a coffee drinker, more of less, ever since can remember, un til few months ago I became more and more nervous and irritable, and finally I could not sleep at night fol l was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and a species of distress ing nightmare.
 Finally, after hearing the expert ence of numbers of friends who haG quit coffee and were drinking Postum and learning of the great benefits they had derived, concluded coffee mus be the cause of my trouble, so got some Postum and had it made strictly according to directions.
 T was ashnished at the favour and taste. It entirely took the place of cof fee, and to my very great satisfaction I began to sleep peacefully and sweet 1a. My nerves improved, and I wish
 could wean every man, woman and child from the unwholesome drug-or dinar.y coffee.
 People really do not appreciate or realize what powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the hu. man system. If they did, hardly a pound of it would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in fire after had once been burned.
 "A young lady friend of ours had stomach trouble for a long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee. She finally quit coffee and be- gan the use of Postum and is now per fectly we'll. Yours for health"

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body Mass of Raw, Bleeding, Torturing Humor - Hoped Death Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cuticura.

Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until 1t covered my whole body. was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human be- ing. The pain and agony endured seemed more than could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails. and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding hesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse My condition was awful. I did not think l could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings.
 Tn this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Rem- edies. I said would. but had no hope of recovery. But oh. what blessed re-  lief I experienced after applying Cuti- cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep had had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti- cura Resolvent for the blood. In short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in short time I was completely cured. l wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 1855 Thomas St., Newark, N.
