In Memoriam. "Written for the Homk JotrnxAL. In the sad death of Mrs.Jacob F. Heard of Rutland, which oc curred August 6th, 1901, the coun try certainly lost one of its best and most beloved Christian ladies She was born 1822 and was mar ried July 7th 1889, of which there were 6 boys and 4 girls; J. M B. A:, J. P., J. F., J. 'H7, anci W. J. Heard,Mrs.Dr. Shinholster, Mrs. Moring, Mrs. Grace, anc. Mrs. Postell. She joined the Primitive Bap tist church in 1844, being the oldest member of Sardis church at the time of her death, leading a Christian life for 57 years. No one ever knew her but to love her. May the good Lord bless each and every one of her generation and guide them to that same place “up yonder” where we feel sure she is resting now. After a life of nearly 4 score years the shad ows fall and she sleeps. The hands so ready to do a kind deed, to soothe a weary brow, are folded in quiet above the heart that beat so warmly with pity for the suf fering, with love for all; the lips that spoke only words of comfort one silent now, and-as she sleeps in dreamless slumber beneath the oaks of Sardis cemetery, we need no monument to make us remem ber her. She lives in the hearts of her dear children and friends. She undoubtedly followed in the footprints of Jesus, who said“ Suf fer little children to come unto me.” % She rejoiced with those that were joyous, and mourned with those that wept, and everywhere she went was the same true and tried friend. The frail body rests, yet in our fancy we follow the pre cious soul even to the gates of the Father’s house, and can hear the angels welcome as she enters in, and when at last the sleep of the body is ended, and in the dawn of the new day, we shall gather be fore the throne and hear them say, “she was so good to me in my troubles, and comforted me in my sorrows.” Thank God for such a woman as she was to be among us. Would that my pen Took All the Strawberries. A writer in the Saturday Eve ning Post relates his expersence at a dinner recently in company with Artists Walden and Whist ler wnen England was the topic of conversation. “England, said Mr. Whistler, “rules the world simply because the English man takes'what he wants.” We were rapidly losing our selves in a fog of politics and nat ural psychology, .when Mr. Wal den lifted part of his red mus tache and said: “That’s right ;al right.” It was the first time he had spo ken that evening, so we stoppec our arguments and listened Calmly and slowly he said: “I was down at Cernay last summer—with Faulkner—paint ing. You know the little tavern there and the old woman who keeps it. There was an English man there who sat next to me at table. Well, the landlady gave us strawberries one night for din ner. For a dollar a day that was pretty good. The servant gir passed the strawberries round. When it came to the English man’s turn to help himself he emptied the whole dish of straw berries-'into his plate. So I saic. to him: “Say, my friend, I like straw aerries, too.’ “ ‘Not so much as I do,’ said my Englishman calmly, and he went on eating.” The Real Names Of Some Noted Rul ers. could half describe her life. In loving'memory of her and in ear nest sympathy with the bereaved ones, these words ure offered. H. D. R. Claud Ga., Sept. 7th 1901. The reported discovery of beds of nitrate of soda in Nevada, says the Engineering and Mining Jour nal, may prove of considerable importance. They are near Love lock, in Humboldt county, and a company has already been formed to prospect and develop them. Chili at present furnishes the world’s supply, and the use of the mineral for agricultural piirposes is increasing. A large deposit which could be worked and put on the market at a reasonable cost ought to be a valuable property. The extent of the new" beds is as yet very imperfectly known. A Certain Cure for Dysentery Diarrhoea. and “Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip,” says F.<L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa. “I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyville Messenger, suggest ed that I take a dose of Chamber lain’s Colic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and two doses, one before startiug and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt'any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this same, remedy and this time one dose cured me.’’Sold by dealers in Perry. - The Bible is afstorehouse of rich imagery and splendid words, of style both simple and ornate, and as literature alone, apart from its spiritual elevation, will repay the search of every student.

Y. A. Hohenzollern, sailed yesterday from Liverpool to New York.” How many people would give more than a passing glance at this announcement? Yet it would be a piece of news calculate ed to throw the people of New York, and the whole of this coun try, in fact, into a paroxysm of excitment and a feverish expecta tion, as must be admitted when the names of King Edward VII, Queen Alexandra, and Emperor William of Germany are respect ively submitted for the true fam ily names given in the suppositi tious item.
