Death has again visited our COM

est citizens, Mrs. Martha Short, wild
ow of James Short. She was born
May IL, 1880 and departed this
life Dec, 20, 1913, aged S4 years, s
months and 10 days. Shewas the
mother of 10 children, the most of
them are living ut her death. She
was good nelghbor, kind to all
with whome she met. She was con
verified about year ago and was
baptized In the Christian church
when quite young, but she never
was satisfied with her religion UNI
til some time last summer. She was
sick but short time. They were not
expecting her to go SO soon but
life is uncertain and death Is sure.
God had blessed her with u long
life and with many kind friends. Her
funeral was preached by the writ
or of this sketch at the home OF
her son, Mr.. Willard Short. She
was laid by the side of her husband
to rest until the resurrection morn.
Then it will be raised again. She
will be missed by all who knew her,
the children will miss her the most.
May God bless the bereaved ones.

The Belfast brogue. Il IL pointed out

In Glasgow. In Dublin, where they

The Irish accent, as a matter of fact,
IL very elusive. Irishmen who have
been at school In England generally
lose 1t in their youth. Parnell lost his
at Cambridge, and 1t never came back
to him. On the other hand there are
men who have never been In ireland
who might have come straight from

STRANGE Eunsral customa.

Curious customs were observed at
the funeral, at Ilford, England, of the
Russian gypsy child, Mark Cedre. The
boy was dressed in his best clothes,
with a new red hat and shoes of the
same color to match, the shoes being
beautifully embroidered and ornament
ed with brightly -colored beads. Each
mourner placed silver and copper
coins In the coffin, and the father put
some bread and meat with the money.
The father tremendously poured c1ar-
ct over the coffin before 1t was lowered
into the grave. Afterward more of the
wine was sprinkled over the coffin.
During the afternoon the ceremony of
"trisn" was observed, the mourners
sitting round a FIRE and making mean
tations for the spirit of the departed.
The first of a series of funeral feasts
was held six days after the ceremony.

Men and Women rxntI.tn.

Good women typists usually exhibit
a marked development Of tactiIe and
muscular sensibility and an excellent
memory for letters, and especially for
concrete phrases, remarks the scien-
tiic American. The right and left
hands are nearly equal In strength and
their attention IL keen and well sus-
tanned. Their relative slowness OF
auditory reaction is q theoretical de-
feet, but the value of a typist depends
rather upon a combination Of good
points than upon a great superiority In
n particular.
Men exhibit greater uniformity than
women, but the difference between
good and poor typists are, neverthe-
less, well marked. In general, men
surpass women in rapidity Of auditory
action and consequently in speed OF
work, but are inferior to women, per-
haps, In power of sustained attention.
