pIrssrSc CANDLES.



This Is Candlomas Day, 50 called from
the fact that candles are blessed before
high mass in the Catholic churches, and it
will he appropriately celebrated, although
in some Of the churches the usual process
sion will be omitted. There will be a SOL
emn hiph mass at st. Aloysius' at ! O'Clock,
preceded by the blessing Of the candles and
a solemn procession.
Not only is the Publication OF the Virgin
observed to-day but the reception In the
Temple as we'll OF the child Jesus by the
holy man Simean, who declared that he
wns "the light of the ieptiles and the
glory of Israeli Catholics to-day make
offerings Of candles for the use OF the
altar.
For at least eight centuries the Church
has blessed candles with solemn services,
and their use at the celebration of mass is
Supposed on good authority, to date back
to apostolic days.
Lights are an evidence of respect and
were largely used by the ancients. The
Athenians employed them on the Feasts of
Minerva, Vulcan and Prometheus. They
were used by the Romans In great quantities
on their feast days. The Jews kept light
burning before the garments OF their high
priest. The Grand Lama Of Tartary is
never seen IN his palace without having o
profusion Of lamps and torches around
him.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1890-07-19

A water moccasin commenced to
swallow his frogship by taking in his
legs. Meanwhile the frog began the
same process by taking in the tail of
the snake. The swallowing process,
the story goes, continued until the
reptile and the frog swallowed each
other and both disappeared from view
SOME three years ago a man from
Clinton, KY, named Graham, moved
with his family to Kingman County,
kas. He did not dwell in Kansas salts
tactorily because of an inordinate
dread of cyclones on his wife's part and
her dislike of the state because of it's
reputation in that way His eldest
daughter, besides, during his residence
In the state, was in continual apprehen-
sion of being scalped by the Indians,
for which she had special dread.
Mother and daughter, by their dissatis-
faction, finally prevailed upon Graham
to return to his old home in Ken
lucky. This was about a year ago.
Six months ago the town of Clinton
was struck by cyclone, the Graham
house was completely demolished, and
Mrs. Graham met her death in the
very way she had left Kansas to avoid,
and the still stranger part was that a
flying timber struck the daughter and
severed her scalp. The daughter recov-
cred but is disfgured Graham himself
was hurt and is still PROSTATE.

A One-WheeIed Buggy.

The Atlanta Journal publishes a de-
scription of what it describes as "the
queerest looking vehicle that ever came
from the carriage hand" 1t is
the property of DR.. Thurmond and will
cost him about $500. The doctor be-
ieves in having things just like he
wants them, and he went to carriage
builder who drew plan like large
wheelbarrow with a canopy top, and a
gentleman who saw the picture said it
was just the thing, if the horse could be
found to work with his head toward the
buggy and tail at the ends Of the shaft,
so that he could be led by the man sit
ting inside, thus pushing the buggy in
stead of pulling it.
The plan pleased the doctor and he
ordered the vehicle made. 1t was fin
ished last week, and wonderful look
ing affair it was. 1t was nineteen feet
long from the big velocipede wheel be-
hind to the end of the shafts in front.
DIR. Thurmond carried it home and
gave it a trial 1t worked all right, ex-
cept that there was too much of a twisty
motion about it, and the doctor decided
to add two little wheels. They will not
work like ordinary buggy wheels, but
they work on pivot like rollers on
center table. If the horse turns to the
right the little wheels will flop quickly
to the right, while the big wheel behind
turns slowly and majestically in the
same direction The only harness to
be used on the horse is the wooden col
lar and very wide bellyband to which
the shafts will be fastened.
