THE LATE . MRS. THOMAS >liklCSs
OF RIDGEURY.
Mrs. - Thomas McKee departed this life
en Saturday evening, January 9, 1899 , st
the age of sixty-Seven years._
Mrs: McKee cause to America man -
years ago - from Ireland where she was
born.. Then the country will quite new .
and largelynnsettled, and it Was not an
easy task to land on &foreign shore where
nothing initstrangesoenegreeted her, and
the people so different from - those of her
own native *ennui. But like all true
mothers, she had an interest 10 - e - ytiorid - her
own. To her affections clung children
that needed home and surroundings, such
is could not be given in her. own native
land. And striking out boldly and pre
rervingly, and looking to God for her •
guide and director, she made this beast's
ful land her beam where she "lived and
7 died. . .
Mrs. McKee was a woman of powerful
endurance, and could in b.efyounger day
radars almost any hardship, and even in
part . of her life it was wonder
ful bow she battled against disease and
was victorious. But like all that have
g..?ne before, and that will follow after,
there comes a tittle when we must_subutit
to the great enemy of all Mankind, Death,
and so with her. Her friends thought
she would revive yet this tune—her post,- 1
er of endurance would throw off the ter
rible fever„lnt the time had come and
-.the 3lsster called her home to 'a blessed
hest which Christ has prepared for those
that love Him.
Two thildren from &former marriage,
-and her husband, Mr. Thomas McKee,
survive her to mourn her untimely death..
A daughter, now thewife of Mr. E. M.
Triton, of the firm of Craig & Tuton, who
are,. i .doiog such a rirosekrous business.
Thti son, Mr. J. C. Robinson, so well
_known at home and abroad as a man of
• superior business qualifications, and one
who has been eminently successful in all
that he bas been entiugtsd with, both
fAiblic and private.
Mrs. McKee was exceedingly devoted
to her children ; there was nothing- ;too
bard for her too endure, if it would but
enhance their happiness; and this mcith
erly devotion and tender sythpathy fol
lc;wing them for so many years was the
secret of two superior children, to honor
sodety.and to save that maternal disgrace
which. is often sharper _than a serpent's
tooth. - -
She had :t strong atachment to the:lit
tle Church growing up • in Itidgbury...
was lierdeep anxiety that it might grow,
and its influence extend far and wide,
that it might become the radiating center
where , ntany might find the way to Christ,.
May her prayers ba answered; and = the
df her desires fall upon so !tinny -
alio will carry them into execution. if,
Her funeral Was largely attended, "and
took.place in the Baptist Church on Tnes! .: '
day afternoon at two o'clock. The ser-,
vices were cot dotted by the pastor, F. s. :
Everett. Thus one by ono we pass aWay,' .
and the places that, now know un4wil
know us no more foreTw. But may we look
unto Christ as did oirr friend, 'and have
part in the First Resurrection. .

A delightful feature of the ma,
JgaL
this year.is a Series of sparkling., novei
etts, or condensed novels, instead of a se
. rial story. " A Fair Barbarian," the sto
ry of a piquant American girl in England,
by Mrs. Francis Ilmigon Burnett; begins
in this February number with a twenty
, two page instaltiii,ent, and will run:
through three issues. Since the death of
. George Eliot it May be said Mrs. Burnett
commands - a larger English-speaking au
dience than any other woman. Per no
. velette will be followed by one by George
W. Cable, author of " The Grandissimes,"
etc., and afterwards Boyez en's "Queen
Titania," will published. "Peter the
heat," Eugilarit j Schuyler'a historical
work, begun in February, 1880, will be
finished _in October of this year. By
means of the recently published_ special
offers of:Scrunfor.n, the whole of this
great work, with its wealth of illustra-.
t ions, can be had at a very low price, in
connection with a year's subscription. All;
book-sellers can give the terms.
In the same ratio that ficktrim's
MONTHLY is prospering, ST. NICITOLAS,
the famoui magazine for girls and boys,
issued by the same publishers, grows
apace. • About_ 100,000 copies of the
Christmas (December) number were sold,
while the January Aumber has been for
some time out 9f. print., In Febluaiy,
there is a MIL account of the Obelisk,
richly illustrated from sketches'and pho
tographs, showing the great monolith in
all stages of moving.
The MinwfrrEn Semnsta will be rea
dy January 20th, and ST. NICROLAB five
days later.
Tnn last time Edwin Booth was at San
Francisco he told a curious story of one
of his early experiences. Ho and his
troupe were playing "The Merchant of
Venice" at a little Virginia village called
Lee's Landing, using for a theatre a little
tobacco warehouse. Just as they were
entering upon the court scene, where the
Jew insists on his pound of flesh, they
heard a whistle blow, and the manager
came running in to say that the steamer
had arrived- 14161 of time, and would
leave again in ten minutes. As that "was
their only chance of getting down to the
Chesapeake for a week, they held a council
. of war behind the scenes. if they stopped
the play, then the audience would accuse
- them of swindling. The- manager said
"The only thing we,cati do is for yon fet
lowsto get up some sort of a natural-like,
impromptu ending for the piece, and ring
down the drop. Go right. ahead, ladies
and gentlemen, and take your cue from
here." George Ruggles, as Shylock, was
sharpening his knife, when Booth solemn
. ly exclaimed, "You're bound to have the
Ilesb, aro. you?" "Yon bet your life,"
onswered Shylock. Booth as Bassani°
continued : "Now, I'll make you one
more dicker. In addition to this bag of
ducats, I'll throw in two kegs i of nigger.

--the . best coon dogs in the State. 'l'm

much to the approbation of the audience,
. who began to admire Shakespeare with
_enthusiasm and were--perfectly delighted
when l'ortia tucked' up her legal gown
and remarked, "And to show that. there
is no hard feeling, we'll wind up with a
Virginiarreel." The fiddlers struck up,
and the curtain tell between an old.fash
- toned dance and thunders of applause.
When the troupeon board the steam

the performance, treated there to a com

Last winter our little boy of five years
froze his feet whije Out- coasting at 1
considerable distance from the house.
He oiled 'all the way, - bode, and the 1
case seemed pretty bad. I brought
a big panful of snow and put his feet
ibbing them with'the snow.
lands could not stand the
wits alarmed to see him keep
in Ile snow so long, but he
bear them out of it. It
an hour before he would
take ttkem out, and then the , pain
was all gone, nd when I had wiped
them dry and rubbed 'them a little,
he was entirely omfortable, put on
,his stocking and izoes, and went to
play. Ile never aftrwards had any
\ a
;trouble with his, feet n account of
this freezing. His sis got her feet
extremely cold, and put them at once
to the fire. Her case at first, was not.
so bad as her brother's, but the .re

yea,y tender all winter, and she st ffer

How difficult it is to get good win
ter-made butter. Often 1 know by
taste . just where the difficulty lies.
Butter makers sometimes . let the
cream stand too long before skim

from the taste, that their' butter is
really fresh. Sometimes a bitter fla

ing the I rising. cream undisturbed.
The pans are 'dipped into, and in
skimming for butter the second ris
ing over a part of the pan, which has
a somewhat bitter flavor, goes 4,ft
with the better cream, and spoils the
aste of the whole. Then the cream
may be
,kept in the jar too lotig be
fare dhurning, while the butte F-m
aker waits for enough cream to :lc-,
cumulate to make it worth while to
churn. It would bh, better in this
ease to bring the . butter by stirring
it in the jar with l a "ladle or pudding
stick, if enough cream cannot be
gathered within a week (at longest
in told weather) to fill the churn so
as to work it well: In this case,
skim the cream off 'Very slowly, or

put it in the jar (this should arrays
be done), and then warm thCcream

wring.havp eaten, excellent but
t& made in this' way. Some 6erso - ns
never make good butter in'winter,
because' they keep their milk among
.bad odors, as in a cellar with-turnips
and other vegetables.
A Good Winter • Feed. forros
orn meal and good -- clover hay
wi be - a proper combination of food
to produce milk, for, corn' is rich- in
starch and oil, both good , for butter ;
and clover hay is rich in casein or
cheese, so, that they possess both the
carbonaceous and -nitrogenous ele
ments in proper balance. But. coin
meal is a heating food and mirs t be
fed with good judgment. It must
not be fed alone, but mixed with a
portion of the cloter lay. A portion
of the clover hay should be cut into
short lengths, and the meal should
be mixed with twice its bulk of cut
clOver, the clover being moistened so
,that the meal will adhere to the hay,
and,both be eaten - together. If the
meal, is fed with three times its bulk
of clover, so much the-better. The
meal being mixed with hay, both
will go into the stomach together,
and the meal, instead of being mass
ed in a lump, or bolus, Will be:dis
tributed throughout the conteras of
the stomach, will be raised and re
masticated, and thus not be likely to
produce a feverish state of- the sys
tem.
• ~Nicely eured.enrly - cut clover is a
good single food for milk, and corn
mealmeal will add other qualities so no

should grind half corn and half oats,
it would decidedly improve the ra,
tion. Oats are excellent for milk.

quarts of cut clover, at each feed. If
bran be,mixed, then ten •pounds.of.

This unsightly trouble is caused by
scams or louse, which infests the
shanks and feet of the birds. The
insect itself is very small—micro
scopic in fact. The excresence know n
as smi t e or scab is the accumulated
results of the. insects operations, and
consists, of the dead bodies of the an
imals themselves and the debris
they produce.' The ailment is con
tagious, and will spread through'a
flock, but is seldom seen on birds
less.than one year old. A hen affect
ed with the parasite s will communi
cate it toiler brood by covering them
in the nest, but the excrescence does
not show for many months after the
chick is inoculated., 'lt shows worse
on old fowls where the parasite has
been long fixed. It is an unsightly,
but not a serious
. or dangerous ail
ment. ,The cure is easy enough:
Mix a little lard, sulphur; and kero
sene to g ether in an old cup or tin
can. Apply this ointment to the feet
and legs of the whole with an old'
idothblush, rubbing it in well, but
not hard enough to draw . blood. To
makesure work' the perches should,
be treated with a wash of kerosene
and afterward smeared with the oint
ment. Each fowl ' must be treated
the same as if the disease showed on
it; because those. that associate to
gether are exposed to the contagion
and are probably infected whether
they showit or -not—Dr. if ickie t in
