1 Remarkable Bamboo Bridge.
In Java the government engineers
have recently constructed a road
bridge more than 100 feet long, with
a central span of ovirr 60 feet, entirely
of bamboo. The roadbed is composed
of bamboo matting, which will be
covered with a layer of dry earth. In
profile the bridge resembles a steel
structure, but all the members are
bamboo rods. It is estimated that
such a bridge should be good for 10
or 16 years. There are two kinds of
bamboo used in building and cabinet,
making in the east, one having solid

DEATH OF MRN. J. KILPATRICY,-
Our community received • shock on
Sunday, December 3rd, on learning
I that death bad claimed Elise
' Jane Treleaven, relict of the late
Joseph Kilpatrick. The deceased lady
was in her sixty-fourth year and of late
months had had very indifferent
health, but death came suddenly and
unexpectedly, and it is with sorrow
that we chronicle the decease of one
who was a genuinely womanly char-
acte+•, an excellent mother and home-
maker and a large -heated neighbor.
By bet- demise Blake's Methodist
church loses • trusted member who
during a long connection therewith
always proved hermit' faithful and
earnest. Her husband predeceased her
nearly seventeen years, but a family
of eight mourn the loss of a devoted
mother. Sem. J. Kilpatrick, with whom
the deceased had lived in the old home
on the 8th conepsion of Ashfield, is
the only one of the family left at home.
but the scattered members were all
able to be present for the funeral. It
was a sorrowful home -coming for all,
and accentuated by the fact that the
family bad been planning and prepar-
ing for a reunion of its members dur-
ing the coming Christmas season.
Thechildren living atedistaoceare Rev.
Richard T. and Miss Agnes. of Brown

Welter Treleaven, of the West; Alex.

mourn the loss of a loved sister. The
funeral took piece froin the old family
residence en Friday, December 8th,
and was one of the largest ou record,
denoting the high esteem in which
deceased was held by her many friends
and acquaintances. Thesis sons were
pall -bearers and burial services were
conducted by Rey. S. Jefferson, pastor
of $hake's church. The genuine sym-
pathy of this community and of an ex-
tended circle of relatives and friends
goes out to the bereaved ones, who
have the assurasce that "blessed are
they who die in the Lord."
