While the meridian bells of Hartford
were sounding their peals yesterday,
the spirit of America’s great authoress,
passed to the life eternal. Of her, the
Courant says:
“She always had pleasant words for
the children of the neighborhood, with
whom she talked in her rambles, and
seemed to be at her brightest when
thinking of and talking with them.
Her condition has been such that her
death at almost any time during the
past three or four years could hardly
have been unexpected. She has, how-
ever, lived in the hearts of her children
and immediate friends and they have
given every solicitous care to the truly
great woman of world-wide reputation.”

each station is now shown in every car-

This was made necessary by the fact
that on the stations themselves the
names are completely lost by the ad-
vertisements that cover the walls, yet
the cost of the improvement is to be
met by surrounding the names that are
shown by the machine with more ad-
vertisements.

When drops of water stand on. the
outside of .a. pitcher the air is full of
moisture, and a. change of weather for
' the worse is impending.
If 'the new moon in summer falls be-
tween midnight and 2 a. m. the proba-
bility is that the weather for a. day or
two at least will be fair.
In winter time if the new moonoccurs
between midnight and 2 a. m. the prob-
ability is for frost, unless the wind is
from the southwest. '
In the winter season a. new moon oc-
curring between 10 . a. m. and 12 m.
means colder weather, with: possibly
high winds from the north. ‘
When the new moon occurs between
12 m. and 2 p. m. in summer time rainy
weather will probably result; in winter,
snow or cold rain.
T-he'new moon falling between 8 and
10 a. m. in the. winter time means cold
rain it the wind is from the west or
southwest, and snow if from the east.
Spiders always come out of their
holes shortly before a rain, being ad-
vised by their instinct that insects then
fly low and are most easily taken. J,
“As right as a. trivet” is a. piece of
household slang. The trivet was a. nod
placed across the fireplace for the pun--
pose of suspending from it a pot over

trivet should be exactly horizontal, or
disaster to the pot and its contents
would result.

The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are not nec-
essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are
not. \Vhat is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful remedy
in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out
of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl‘um
of Friendsville,‘ Susquehanna. Co., Pa., says :
“ Vie have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, colic and diarrhoea and found
it to be a most effective remedy.” For sale
