Mr. Luther P. Shattuck Is a shoemaker and lives in Rowley. Mass. For years Mr.

Shattuck has been troubled with derangement of the stomach. He tried a number of remedies, but derived no benefit from them until he used Puritana. He says: "For years I have had trouble with my stomach. I was unable to eat anything without it causing me great distress. I would have severe pains across my chest and in my bowels.

If your case has progressed so that a troublesome discharge is already established, do not delay, take the Vegetable Compound at once, so as to tone up your whole nervous system; you can get it at any reliable drug store. You ought also to use a local application, or else the corrosive discharge will set up an inflammation and hardening of the parts.

This costume is made with a bolero of heliotrope cloth faced with grey moire, and stitched with petunia. The bolero is sleeveless, as this makes the dress useful with or without the coat.

The bodice is in blouse form, with a moire yoke, and a deep folded belt fastened with three paste buttons, and is exceedingly pretty for home wear, or, later on, can be worn without a wrap. The collar is stiffly lined, and can be worn up or down, and the small gigot sleeve is finished in the fashionable manner with tabs and frills, which fall over the hands. The skirt is outlined with moire to correspond with the revers, and there should be a balayeuse of silk inside the skirt.

Of the old mansions which still remain In the park the Claremont, by reason of its size and the fact that nearly all tts outlines are still preserved, is the most remarkable. It stands on a spot just above the old tomb and was built in thel ast century. Lord Courtney, who afterwards became the earl of Devon, lived under its roof and his magnificent hospitality is inseparable from the history of the ancient pile. Associated with it, too, are many names that shine in American history, for Its walls have heard the wisdom of Alexander Hamilton, while at different times it has sheltered the soldierly Schuyler, the impulsive Burr and the great statesman Thomas Jefferson. Between the Claremont and the river is a plain little marble mounmer.t, about two feet square, which is surmounted by an urn whose outlines have not been so dulled by the storms of years, but that this inscription can be read: "To the memory of an Amiable Child, St.

Around the crown of the cupola a line of fasces, surmounted with eagles, connects the cciumned drum with the py-ramidical top. The flawless granite of which the tomb consists is of dotted whitish gray taken from a quarry of uniform grain, and is so light in tone that in the strong sunlight it is hardly distinguishable from marble. Passing up the great steps which extend three quarters of the way across the front of the structure, one comes first to the doors of the tomb, filling a space 16 feet 4'i inches in height and 9 feet in width.

Of bone-dried ash, covered thickly with' a composition of copper and tin, these doors weigh three and one-half tons. In each door are three panels, ornamented with IIS bronze rosettes, the twenty-four on the larger central panel being) each twice the size of a man's fist, and all riveted to the doors with heavy bolts.
