In Memoriam.

In remembrance of our dear sister
Emma Kirby Fitzgerald, who departed
this life October 9th, 1914.
One year has passed, our heart is sore,
As time flies on we miss her more.
She sleeps and we leave her in peace to rest
Peaceful be thy silent sumber.
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrow can know.
Dearest sister. thou hast left US,
And thy loss we deeply feel
But tbs God that hath bereft US.
He can all our sorrow heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the storms of life have fled
Then to heaven with joy we will greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
ltp MOTHER, BROTHER AND SISTER.

 ing With Officials
To the State Board Of Health:
 Hartford, Conn.

To the state Board of Health:
 Hartford, Conn.
 Isubmit herewith according to the statutes, my annual report as city health officer for the city Of Putnam ending August 3lst, 1915.
 The following contagious diseases were reported: Dipthefia and mem branous eroup 64 cases; scarlet fever l9 cases; typhoid fever ' cases; tuDerculo- sis cases; measles cases.
 Last winter and spring there were many cases of dipthena caused by gem carriers, but fortunately they were nearly all mild cases, and will say'that our people, both parents and teachers Of schools, were generally willing and ready to GO operate with the acting health officer, Dr. Edward F. Perry in the discharge of his duties, so the results of his labors were grali. lying to all. While there have with out doubt, been a number Of cases oi whoOping cough in this city during the past year, none have been reported During the year, we have received many complaints of offensive nui- sances, and had them removed q sbaled without any unpleasant trouble.
 In conclusion, l will say that as each year passes 1 observe in the com mnnity increasing interest in the laws of health, i. e., relative to cleanliness ventilation, milk supply, etc. upon the whole there has been marked i'm. pfovement for which we should bt one and all prefondly thankful.

MANY ARE DEAF TO MELODY
Numerous instances of Persons Who Were Denied One of Life's Chief
 Pleasures.

It has been said of the late Dean Stanley that 'he had not a note of music in his head" aud could scarcely distinguish one tune from another, a fact which caused his biographer Row. land E. Prothero. to express surprise that "one so destitute of musical feel ing as Stanley should have been the first person to introduce Bach's Pas sion music into the religious services of the church.
 It is not easy. perhaps, for the aver age person to understand tone deaf ness. But just as some people are color blind, so there are others who are melody deaf Empress Catherine of Russia used to say that she would have given the world to be able to ap- preciate and love music. declaring that for her music was noise, and nothing but noise President Grant is said to have been able to distinguish only two tunes. Yankee Doodle and Hail to he Chief" which were recog- nizable, probably. because he heard them so often.
 Doctors seem to have some difficulty in explaining the cause from which tune deafness arises, although it Is generally agreed that nerves have much to do with 1t. Musical applica- ton depends to 6 great extent upon the exercise of mental and physical faculties, and the delight in music calls for an alert sympathy between the nerves and the cerebral faculties, without which connection there is a definite musical lack, although the nerves perform their ordinary fune- ton of communicating sounds to the mind.

had no appetite. Since 1 have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound the aches and pains are all gone and feel like new woman. cannot praise your medicine too highly. Mrs. AUGUSTUS LYON, Ferre Hill, Pa.
 It is true that nature and woman s work nas produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is recogniz d from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has saved them from surgical operations.

"MAsON AND DIxON'S LINE"
Popular Misapprehension as to Mean ing of Term and Just What the
 Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig inally laid off, divided the slave-hold- ing states from the free states. On the contrary, it ran for one-third of it's whole length between Maryland and Delaware, both of which were slave-holding states at the time The line was run purely to settle bound ary dispute between Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
 All the same, the actual Mason and Dixon's line was as much synonym for trouble and dissension in it's day as was the figure of speech to which in after years it gave rise. And the phrase will hold bitter meaning to some until tin that looked-for day of charity to all mem shall be fulfilled Dr. John Wyeth's recent prophecy that t'When the people of the South and the North get together they will forget there was ever a Mason and Dixons line. Southern Woman's Magazine.
