FUNERAL OF MRS SkooG.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

AT 2;30 this afternoon the Presby-
terian church was filed with the
friends of the late Mrs. Skoog. assem-.
bled to pay the last token of respect
to one. whose visible presence has
been removed, but whose memory will
long be cherished in the hearts of
those who loved her.
AS the tones of the funeral march
filed the church, the sad procession
filed up the aisle-the dainty casket
heaped with flowers, and containing
all that was mortal of the young wife
and mother, the pail bearers, the
mourners-just then baby some
where in the church cooed and some
one sobbed aloud. 1t made one think
of the three wee mites so recently
left motherless.
when other helpers fail and comforts
flee,
Help of the helpless. %, abide with
me-"
In times of sorrow such as this we
realize how helpless mortals are and
are reminded anew that our only
refuge is in God,
After a brief sketch OF the dead
woman's life, Rev. Crozier touched on
the beauty of her character. her patti
ent unselhshness, Of
Her gentleness that grew with
steady growth;
Her humble strength and readiness to
bear
Those burthens which strict duty
layeth ever
Upon our souls"
Then the speaker took up his mes
sage to TIE mourners. He spoke from
the text Love is strong as death"
and developed many beautiful and
comforting thoughts. Death can sepa-
rate US from our loved ones, but can
not destroy their loveliness. Nor is 1t
able to take away their influence
for all that was most beautiful in
them lives on, treasured In the memo
ries OF others. Death cannot take
away from us the associations of
those dear to us who have preceded
us into the Silent Land.
Then the triumphant conclusion was
reached, Love is stronger than
death" for though 1t may separate us
from those we love, It cannot prevent
love living in the hope of being once
more united TO those gone before. 1t
cannot prevent us each from looking
forward to the time when we too. shall
reach the edge of the dark river, and
on the farther shore,
Shall see thee stand,
And white against the evening star.
The welcome of thy beckoning hand"
lnterment was In Greenmount.

The amount of material used can

million wooden poles used by electric
companies in this country require re
newal each year. These poles are
perfectly sound except at the ground
line; and as 1t costs more to renew
pole than to set a new pole, a scheme
of reinforcing the poles with concrete
has recently been devised. 1t consists
in bridging the weakened part with
reinforcing rods driven into the pole
above and below the decayed portion.
Concrete is then nodded around the
pole over the reinforcing rods. In this

stronger than 1t was originally and at
