The writer often looks back with sadness on certain ifamilies, who, in the early sixties :were thought to be well off. The fam- iily grew up and should have been a nhelp to the aging parents, who strug- lgled through life to secure a few comforts for themselves and families. 'But the family assumed the manage- ment of affairs in a very lavish man- | Right living is something seldom 'rsaiizea till the time when one is nearly reidy to die. and it is often .worse than useless to give instruc- tion and advice to the younger genâ€" eration about methods it would be Ewise to follow. We have for a num- her of yeirs entertained the opinion that a person who follows Nature‘s 'laws will, barring accidents, live to a ripe old age. Of course heredity has much to do with the machinery ‘of life and health, and should always be considered as a factor. You can't ‘cheat Nature without suffering the penalty. You may cheat the commu- nity, or get around the law of the !state but you can’t get around the ’laws of Nature without being your- gself the loser. A violation of Na- 'ture‘s law demands compensation and ‘will assuredly have it.. Nature prOp- l erly followed will pass from childhood to youth, from youth to maturity and ifrom maturity to old age. Then the ;faculties pass away, sight, hearing, ‘memory, re ison, one after another till 'the individual again becomes a child intellectually and passes from time to feternity often without pain and with- out a struggle. The death of the late Mrs. Parrot. who was found dead Ein her bed on Sunday morning last, in apparenzly peaceful repose is an ideal passing from time to eternity. iIt siems be natural way and its in- frequency in old age is largely at- tril-utzmle to irregulaar living. l l l l ner, and the old people died little better than paup-:-rs. The family squandered what was left and went to the dogs, “unwept, unhonored and unsung.” Some of them are still liv- ing, but the world will be none the better for his existence. He who starts where his father left off will often leave off where his father he- gan. This is no solitary picture. It will be easy to find others. Just look around you. The Presbyterian church concert in the new rink on Friday evening, will long be remembered, and stands in the front rank amongst the many meritorâ€" ious entertainments that have been put on the boards here. Durhamites, generally, are hard to please along the line of entertainments, and the choos- ing of talent to meet with the approval of the public in this town is a hard matter, and one that. requires a thor- nugh knowledge of the capabilities of the people. who make it their business tn interest and delight audiences in this part of the country. PRESBYTER’N CHURCH CONCERT Notwithstanding this fact. in pro-I curing the services of the Jarvis-Scott- l"ax trio, the concert committee felt they had engaged the best talent in the country, and faith in their ability as a committee was amply demonstrat- ed when the time came for the opening of the program. Though the country folk, owing no doubt. to it being htr-T vest time, did not turn out as well as' was expected, there was scarcely a family inside the corporation who was not represented by one or more per- sons, and the generous and hearty outbursts of approval that greeted every number should leave little doubt but that those who attended were y folly satisfied and delighted with the The renderings of Harold A. J arvis, the noted tenor, were superior to any of his previous performances here, owing to the fact that the building was larger and more suited to his great volume of voice, while the inim- itable Jimmie Fax kept the audience in the best of humor. Miss Florence Scott. in her first up. pearance before 8. Durham audience, made a. good impression in her render- ing of the different selections entrusted to her and in two duets with Mr. Jarvis. Two piano selections by Mrs. New. ton. whoalso acted as accompanist. were much appreciated, and the reception given her upon her appear- ance upon the platform in the Opening number show that the popularity of Durham’s favorite pianiste is still as great as ever. Billy Crane brings this story from San Francisco to the Lamb’s Club: A friend met a cheerful Irish citizen who had plainly suffered all that was the fate of the hardest hit. “Well, Pat. how are you making out?” “Oh, Oi’m on me uppers yet, but I have a fine job in Honolulee, and fare paid. I sail to-morrow.” Sure, man. you’ll never be able to 'work there. The temperature is a hundred in the shade.” Put. had endured too much cheerfully to be discouraged. “Well,” he replied. hopefully. “I’ll not be worruking in the shade ell th’ mime.” A few drops of lemon juice improves ecumh'ed 088'- It should be added while the an! m cooking. Returning at nine-thirty, his mother was still in bed, and as she had al- ways been an early riser, he became alarmed and tapped on her bedroom door, calling her by name. Receiving no reply, .he entered, and was horri- fied to find her in the cold grasp of death. Mrs. Chas. McArthur. a neigh- bor was at once summoned, and the doctor called, but nothing could be done, as she had evidently been dead for some hours. Mrs. Parrot was a native of Somer- setshire, England, where. she was born ovm' seventy-seven years ago. About sixty years ago she came to Canada and settled in Hamilton. where she married shortly after Mr, John l’ur- rot, who predeceamd her t\\'°.'1VC‘ years ago.

Arising earlySunday morning, be lit the gasoline tire and went for his customary walk, returning about half past seven. His mother: being not yet about, he thought little of it, think- ing she was enjoying a little longer rest than usual, and went out again. Though ailing for some time, Mrs. Parrot, on Saturday last, seemed in even better health than usual, and had spent considerable time during the day and evening about the store, and it little entered the thoughts of her son, Charles, when she bade him “good-night,” that it was the last time the would look upon his mother alive. To them were born a family of tl'n children, eight of whom are living. The family are John and W'illizim., of Chicago; Mary, in Guelph; Joseph, in Winnipeg; Annie (Mrs. Shoroy), in Toronto; Elizabeth (Mrs. Rom- bough), in Buffalo: Etta (Mrs Todd) in Perdue, Seek: and Charles. at home. Two sons, Edward ,and George are dead, the former passing away in Pittsburg about five years ago, and the latter .when but twelve years of age. During her long residence here. Mrs. Parrot made a host of friends, and the news of her demise will be received with sadness and regret by all. We join them in extending to the family our sincere sympathy.
