Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Free land of the Methodist Society of which the deceased became a member in 1875, and remained a devoted member up to her demise. She was born near Baltimore, Md., Oct. 4, 1812, and with her parents moved to Tuscarawas county, Ohio.* At the age of 21 years she was united in marriage with Thomas Hendricks. In the year 1848, Mr. Hendricks with his family emigrated to lowa, where they remained until 1853, when the family came to Adams county. There were seven children born to them, of which three of them died in infancy, while one son and three daughters are still living near Monroe, and are well fixed with fine valuable farms.

Gutfeld, of Reedley. Fresno. Co., Cal., I as they handle the rembdy referred to and want their customers to know what a i >piendid meittcine It is: "It is with pleasure I tell you that by one : day’s use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy j 1 was relieved of a very severe cold. My head was completely stopped up and 1 c u’.d not sleep at night. 1 can recommend this remedy.” A cold nearly always starts in the head and afterwards extends to the throat and lungs By using this remedy freely as soon contracted it will cure the cold at once and prevent it from extending to the lungs. m Gnl<l Flllll gn for.T'eth People, says a dentist* wonder why gold is used for stoppin/ and are apt to credit the dentist With employing it for his own ends, on the ground that he can charge more and get correspondingly larger profits than woitld be the case if he used any baser anti less expensive metal; but, he says, in explanation, a i.ttle reflection would convince the suspicious ones that there is no ground whatever for such ideas, and that the real reason for using gold Is tbat it will weld while cold and will successfully resist the* action of the acids and fluids of the mouth, hence it is unequaled as a preservative for the teeth. In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr. T. A. McFarland, a prominent merchant of Live Oak Sutter Co., Cal., was taken with a very heavy cold. The pains in his chest were so\severe that he had spasms and was threatened with pneumonia. His father gave him several large doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy which broke up the cough and cured him. Mr McFarland says whenever his children have croup he in" variobly gives them Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and it always cures them. He considers It the best cough remedy in the market.

FRIGEROTHERAPEUTICS The Doctrine of Curing Dinenne by the Application ol KxcrMive Diseane. The late Dr. Chapman cured colds by applying Ice to the spine. Prof. Pictet claims to have discovered “frigotherapeucy.” He has (says our Paris correspondent) interested the scientific world in his experiments, which were -before the Academy of Medicine at its last sitting. This doctor began experimenting with dogs. He found that when plunged in a bath of low temperature and kept there for some time they became ravenously hungry. Being himself a sufferer for six years from a stomach disease, he had forgotten what it was to have an appetite for food. He thought that if he tried cold he might relish his next dinner. So he descended into a refrigerating tank, where the temperature was many degrees below .zero. He was wrapped in a thick petifjie and other warm clothes. After four minutes he began to fool hungry, and in eight minutes climbed out of his tank with a painfully keen appetite. Many such - experiments were made. All the meals he took after a short stay in the refrigerator agreed with him and he found his dyspepsia cured after the tenth descent. He insists on very warm dress-furs if possible. One might ask whether it would not be the samething to plunge less warmly clad into less frigid air He says not. He cannot yet explain the law that underlies his discovery.

Even a Congressman can learn some things, however, and on one occasion I was given a lesson that rather surprised me, I was on a train and near me sat an elderly woman, evidently from the remoter section of the country, with whom I got into conversation. She was ignorant, but of considerable native "ability, and decidedly sharp of speech. She felt a strong aversion to politics and politicians, and was so vigorous in her - attacks that I was forced to come to the rescue. “ ‘My dear madam,’ I said in protest. ‘l’m a politician.' “No, you don’t say?' »ht J , exclaimed, looking at me with curiosity. “ ‘Yes.d do say it; qnd what is more I am a member of Congress.' • “She actually threw un her hands in astonishment at this statement“‘Well,’ she Said.

A peculiar appearance in the front window of an aristocratic boarding house on one of the leading avenues caused a discussion among passers-by. In each pane was a square of white muslin with embroidered edges, which was apparently glued to the pane. “That’s a queer way of keeping out the light,” observed one citizen to another. “Must be some new method of decoration," remarked another. “Don’t you know what that is?” said a young woman to her husband. “That’s a window laundry.” “And what may that be?” “It’s the way ladies who board wash their fine handkerchiefs. You see, it dries and irons them at the same time.” • “I see.” answered the young man, “that they adhere like postage stamps. How do they do it?” “Oh, you first catch your window, w then you wash the panes and place the handkerchiefs against them, wringing wet. They stick like a plaster, and when they come off are as smooth as satin. In that way every woman can be her own laundress.” “I see.” said her husband, thoughtfully.
