I went through two grammars and I can't say as they done me no good--I prefer Mattie to en gage in German and drawing and voknl music on the piano." --Keep your eyes on the newspaper and see which of the merchants want your custom and are sufficiently cour teous to'invite you to call. There is much more in advertising than one would at first think. It is not only to tell of his goods that a man advertises, but it is to invite the people who read, tbe thinking, the intelligent, to pay him a visit and judge for 'themselves as to the quulity and price of what he offieri for sale. People read the advertisements. Don't make any mistake about that. They are just as interested in knowing where, to buy to an advantage as the ad' vertiser is in selling his goods. plaint, and then hurrying on to some other item of news, with which they have a closer knowledge and consequent* ly ueener interest. But to the scores of friends and acquaintances who have been watching with hope or fear for he- tem poral welfare, it must awaken feelings of tenderness and sadness. Mrs. Lumley was the daughter of Henry and Mary Vogle and no definition of the term was ever broad enough to express ail that •Jennie was to that home. March 19, 1879, she became the wife of Allison Lumley and the union was blessed by the brightness of two daughters, Mabel, now nine, and Edith, five years old. Un til about four years ago they lived near Tryon's Corners, upon a farm which Mr. Lumloy's father had, fatherlike, enabled them to call their own, but Mr. Lumley had hopes that developed into plans whioh made it necessary for him to take a course of study at a medical college, and they sold the farm and soon came to Rin>{wood to reside, since which time their home has been in this place. *Her health was not in such a state for the past year as to encourage thoughts of longevity, but she seemed hopeful, on ac count of her husband and little daugh ters, whom she most tenderly and de votedly loved. And if ever love and affection were reciprocal this is a case beautiful to reflect upon. As soon as the husband's studies had come to a close, and he had been admitted to practice hs devoted every hour to her care, and no attention he could give was in any way neglected. Being advised to change cli mate the family moved to Boulder, Col. and for a time the change seemed likely . .. "•"«* uviurif uuu latioi if mvciuio apparent that she was failing and they returned home. Her closing months, for such tbe time was, were passed in patient waiting and watching, surrounded by her near and dear friends, all anxious to render some aid in comforting her. But all was unavailing and just before day on Monday. Dec. 4, she was gathered to her angel home. She had been a consis tent member of the M. E. Church for over sixteen years, and a devout christain she was. Her last hours, almost, were given to thought of her children and hus band, but when the door opened the light went out so peaceably they hardly knew she had gone. Nothing but the facts can I give in this obituary, for no eulogy of mine could do her justice. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Nickle, of Moreland, and tbe remains were fol lowed to their final resting place by a large gathering of sorrowing friends. Such was tbe end of her, so pure, so gen tle, so noble, and such shall be the end of all, but none such may fear to cross the stream, for the current shall be stilled and the shores on the morning of nity.

In the prison at Mooltan there were lasl year 17 life prisoners whose total ages were found to amount to more than 1,101 years, two of them being patriarchs of upward of 80. This remarkable fact is at tributed partly to the great improvement in the economy of Indian jails since the ex posureof their mismanagement, some yean ago, but more directly to the prevalent practice when a crime has teen committed of handing over the least useful member of the family as ft sort of vicarious offer ing to justice. On this point the inspector general of In dian prisons observes that the confinement which conviction entails is of course les» irksome to the aged thau to the youn& "Moreover," he continues, "the people know that a specially comfoi table place in the shape of good food, ample clothing, a special dietary, the lightest of work and a society not entirely uncongenial awaits tha old man in our jails. A case has been cited in which a man had been strangled. Th* person to whom the crime, by his own con fession, was brought home was a feeble old fellow who had been paralyzed in both arms for 20 years and could not have com mitted the crime.

It appears that not 1 per cent of the male or female servants will sleep in their master's house. They insist on leaving at the latest by 7 o'clock in the evening and will not return before 7 or 8 iw the morn ing. For this reason some houses have a pane of glass in one of the windows taken out through which the baker and milkman pass their goods on their early morning rounds without troubling a member of the family to get up and.open the door. It is said to be quite common for a good cook to insist on the family dining not later than 5 o'clock, in order that she n.ay^ be able to put tha kitchen in order and no home early. If CLese or any other demands are not granted, the servant leaves without any notice, there being apparently no law of master and servant in Brazil. The wages average £2 to £3 a month, with food, and the servants, as a rule, purloin enough ev«ry night to provide a supper at home, These servants are all negroes or mulafe toes and are nearly all freed slaves, but in spite of all their drawbacks they are gen erally preferred to white servants, who in Brazil have nearly all worse failings than - 5 *s Books cheap, nice bound only dQ and 5 cents at J.
