though she had never been ill a day

Miss KERN, who is beautiful girl
twenty-five years old, had been given

"Of course l do mamma" replied
the girl. Il am to get up. The angel
told me to. An angel from heaven
met me at the gates of death and
brought me back"
And the girl did get up, seemingly
under a mysterious influence, and ran
downstairs. A friend of the family,
an atheist, at sight of her fell on his
knees, praying to God.
Not less remarkable than the
restoration of her physical health Is
the effect Of her inexplicable expert

from her visit to the valley of the
shadow with a serene faith in an inf

a clarity of mental view and an elo-

only after years of hard study.
Miss BERN has written an open let

she has received as to her recovery.

Although the street suit Is generally

who dress tastefully and correctly in

q this time.
There are grades in the new house

are too magnificent almost to be

eccentric with their varied loopings
for any but the idle rich. But out of
the hurly-burly Of suggested bustles
some OF the rear loopngs Of the
skirts are more than mere hint OF
the old turnure- pointed trains,
exaggerated tight sleeves and inOr-
dinately high and tight collars, there
are features which all the world may

1t is something of a nuisance to lift
and lower the head of a machine
every time one wishes to begin or
quit sewing At the same time, 1t is
very injurious to the machine to allow

a padded hood, or cover Of some soft

On Saturday last d. M. Walrath
and F. L. Hegerman joined their in
terests in a sporting expedition after
ducks. The rendezvous that attract
ed their attention lay westward and
in due time they swan out into
the middle of Indian Lake in an old

The lake is but thin, shallow af-
fair at best, but nevertheless it az
fords the feathered tribe as we'll as
the sportsmen all the opportunity
for exploitation that may be desired,
on the part of the birds by swarm
ing in the water unmolested and on
the part Of the men in absolute
safety when shooting. Now here is
where the two men were wise in that
they chose the shallow lake. They
got fairly out into the deepest part
when down went their scow to the
bottom. They went down with it, OF
course, standing in about two feet
OF water on the boat which rested
on deep bed of soft mud, where
they remained two hours or more
before rescued. In the meantime
their lungs and throats were exer-
cised to the fullest capacity, the sig
nails being thrown off at frequent
intervals. They had about made UP
their minds to remain in their pre-,
dicament all night, but finally when
despair was written on their coun.
tenances fate brought the necessary
