ST. VALENTINES DAY.

On Tuesday, February 18th, will be st.
Valentines day. For number of years
the practice of sending your love valen-
tine flourished, but it fell almost into disuse
until a few years ago, when some new life
was infused into the custom. The CON
nection of the custom with st. Valentine is
purely accidental, In the legends of the
different Saints of that name, no trace of
the practice peculiar to the 18th of Feb
ruary is to be found. In several Of the
provinces of France one of the customs
was peculiar one. On the eve of St,
Valentine number of the young folks
would meet and inscribe upon pieces
Of paper the names of a number of
maids and bachelors of their acquaintance,
throw the whole into receptacle of some
sort and draw them, as in lottery, care
being taken that each should draw one of
the opposite sex. The person thus drawn
became ones valentine. In England and
in the United States there was time when
the day was greatly observed and many
beautiful pictures and verses were sent by
lovers to each other. Lately the custom of
sending penny valentines has taken the
place of the old-time Observances, and some
people find pleasure in sending carricatures
to their acquaintance. The penny thus
spent represents the meanness of the send
er, and would be high price to invest in
buying their good qualities. G.

Hints on Rheumatism,

This is the worst time Of the year for
rheumatism. A Wisconsin physician has
made speciality of the disease and, talking
of it, he said. "0ne half of the diseases
now prevalent are due to the bedstead that
you sleep on. Funny, eh2 Yet it is true.
How many years ago was it when the high,

fashion | distinctly remember that when

"Now, if you want to avoid rheumatism,
l would advise you to observe the following
rules:
First-Don't wear flannel undergarments.
Wool Is made to wear outside. Wear

Second-Wear thick shoes in the winter,
and in wet weather wear cotton socks next

Leap Year.

A correspondent writing to the New
York World Of stthe custom observed every
fourth year of permitting the fairer sex to
assume the rights and prerogatives apper-
tanning to their brothers during the re-
naming three, says that a law enacted by
the Parliament of Scotland in 1888 is
doubtless the first statutory recognition of
its existence. The law is thus quoted: at
is statut and ordaint that during the reins
of Her Maist Blissit Megestie, ilk fourth
year, known as Leap Year, ilk maiden
ladye of bath high and low estait shall hae
liberty to bespeak ye man she likes; albeit,
gif he refuses to tax hir to be his wyfe, he
shall be mulcted in ye summe of ane dun
dis or less, and his estait mott be, except
and avis gif he can max it appear that he
is be betrothit to ane ither woman, that he
then shall be free"

That the cities were suddenly oyerthrown
is proved by the finding of skeletons under
the fallen roofs and walls in positions indi-
eating violent deaths. One skeleton, pho
tographed as found, shows that the man
was caught under the falling roof and
thrown upon his face. His chest is pushed
forward by the weight, and his right hand,
stretched out as he fell, is crushed and
fiattened. The large number Of bodies
found proves that the calamity was wide
spread and complete.
In one of the sacrifcial caves of the Su-
perstition Mountains lies skeleton that
eloquently tells the story of the earthquake
and the terror of the inhabitants. 1t is
that Of a maiden sacrificed, as the vessels
and offerings on the altar show to the
ethnologist, to appease the wrath of the
earthquake domon. There had been sew
eral shocks of greater or less severity. and
the people had offered up ordinary sacri,
ices In vain. At last the priests went up
to the sacrifcial cave and made the supreme
offering of a maiden of the tribe, The
people returned to their homes assured that
the danger had been ayerted. Then came
the great shock. Walls fell and roofs
crashed. Those who were not caught in
the ruins fled in terror to the fields, They
saw their cities overthrown and their fields
laid waste. The gods had abandoned them
to the malignant wrath of the powers Of
evil that even to-day are believed by the
Indians to dwell in the Superstition Noun
tains. They fed in panic; the Toltec peo,
pie were separated and were scattered
through the country. The wild tribes of
the hills and forests made war upon them
and drove them to the south, and splen-
did civilization Of prehistoric times was
obliterated from the face of the earth.

Around their foliage warm and waited thus

And froze the flower so that it dropped and died

May safely call it all his own. The blast
