who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew

ANCIENT BELIEFS.

Some of the Strange Notions Which OBJ
tanned in the Dark Ages.
The curious beliefs of the medieval
English as to the cause and cure of
various diseases were often even more
shocking than absurd, if such could be
possible. A ring made of the hinge or
handle of a coffin was credited with the
power of relieving cramps, which also
received a solace when rusty old
sword was hung up by the patients
bedside. Nails driven into an oak tree
were not cure but preventive of
toothache. A halter which had been
used in hanging murderer when bound
around the temples was said to be an
infallible remedy for headache. A dead
mans hand could dispcl tumors of the
glands by strol>ing the parts nine times
with it, but the hand of man who had
been hanged and then cut down from
the gallows by a maiden was a remedy
infinitely more efficacious. Some of these
remedies still exist among the super
stitious poor of the provinces, but are
not now strictly adhered to. TO cure
warts, for an instance, the best thing to
do is to steal a piece of beef from the
butcher, with which the warts are to be
rubbed, after which the meat is to be
inferred in sandy soil; as the process of
decomposition goes on the warts will
wither and finally disappear.
The chips of a gallows upon which
several persons had been hanged was
also one of the items in medieval ma
terra medica; these, when worn in a
bag around the neck, were pronounced
an infallible cure for ague. The night
mare, supposed, of course, to be the re-
suit of something supernatural, was
banished by means of a stone with a
hole in it, which was every night sus-
pended at the head of the sufferers
bed. The last remedy went by the
name of 'hag-stone'' because it pre-
vented the witches from coming and
sitting on the patients stomach. The
witches, which from popular pictures
could not have sat upon a horse mo-
ment, were credited with riding them
across the moors at breakneck speed at
the dead hour of midnight when better
disposed and less frisky persons were
asleep. In cases of this kind ''hag-
stone" tied to a stable door at once put
stop to these heathenish vagaries.-

go; he will be back soon; can stand it

In spite of her determination to be
brave, the warm tears crept up to her
eyes, dimming her vision and thus shut
ting out the loved one from view.
The two had been lifelong friends,
and though their lips had never ex-
changed formal vows, she had worn his
ring for many happy months, and all
the neigh bors understood that some day
Hugh Curtis would make Marion Jewell
his wife.
At his mothers knee, Hugh had i'm
bibed his peculiar ideas of keeping the
peace, and in his boyhood he had often
been numerically twitted for allowing
his companions to impose upon him.
This was not the first time that he had
been called coward and as he walked
slowly along the dusty road that bright
May morning, he began to wonder if,
after all, his conscientious scruples
might not be merely a convenient cloak
under which to hide his cowardly nature.
1t was the first time that Marion had
ever accused him OF being a coward,
and she would not have done it now
had she not loved him too well to hear
his name banded about by the man
who had provoked the trouble. Thane
Lenox's faultless attire and fine city
airs were calculated to dazzle the little
country maid, and it is no doubt quite
true that she felt flattered by the atten-
ton he lavished upon her; still her
heart was loyal to Hugh, although she
could not help wishing that his man
ners were more polished and that he
had enough grit to stand up for his
rights when trampled upon by the city
dandy. That night she robed herself
in the dress he most admired, and
with repentant words on her lips, wait
ed for his coming, but her waiting was
in vain.

measurement to have less than eleven
and therefore his large yields had been
still larger. To the unthinking reader
this doubtless reflected additional glory
to that writer.
Here is man." they would say,
''who has been getting nearly forty
four bushels of wheat to the acre and
he has contented himself with stating
that he got hirty-eight; he surely does
not overstate things" To the think
ing, careful reader, however, this diff
ference of more than an acre in the esti-
mate of a twelve-acre field will bring
distrust and doubt. A man who has for
years been teaching carefulness and ac-
curacy, making them the corner stones
of successful farming, has no business
to make such an error. He should
know to the very last square yard how
much the area of certain field is, and
knowing, he will have no occasion or
excuse for making erroneous state
ments by estimates. 1t is not difficult
to rapidly and accurately measure a
field and know exactly how much it
contains.

SAVING A LIFE,
Why Paul Duples-fs Changed the Plot of
His Serial Romance.

Why Paul Duplessfs Changed the Plot of
His Serial Romance.
1t is the practice of some writer's of
serial stories to begin the publication
! of their romances before the end is
written. In the early stages of the
story they do not know any better than
the public who read it how they are
coming out" This is especially the
case in France, where nearly every
| newspaper has feuilleton or depart
ment in which continued story is pub
lished
1t is rela|e I'd by Aurelien Scholl in a
budget of literary anecdotes just pub
lished that when Paul Duplessis was
publishing serial romance in the
Patrie he was visited one evening by
Millet, the artist.
''By the way" said Millet, after a
little conversation, 81 am seeking bit
of information. You know that in the
Patrie this morning you left the count
ess in the most alarming situation; she
had fallen into an ambush and was
surrounded by those who have every
motive to cause her to disappear.
Eyes,
"Well, does she die?''
eyes; she meets her death at the
point of the Corsican's poniard."
Millet struck the table with his fist.
''No luck for me!'' he exclaimed.
why, what is it to you?"
'Oh, nothing but ten louis, that's all!
l made a foolish wager with devoted
reader of your stories that the countess
was necessary to the come out of the
romance, and that she would get out of
the scrape."
"Dear me"' Duplessis exclaimed. He
drew out his watch. "Only nine
o'clock" he said. There's time
enough YETI
Time for what?'
''Tine to get into cab and go to the
Patrie office and save the countess
life.'
'1ruly? Would you do that?"
Duplessis shook the artists hand sol
emily.
'It's very little to do for FRIEND"
said he.
He rushed away to the newspaper
office, overhauled his proofs, and made
the grumbling printers turn the coun-
tess distressing death into a marvellous
rescue.-Chicago Times.

nearly a score of years before He
could not see her face and thought it
must be Lottie, Ben's eldest girl, who
was a mere baby when he went away.
"Is that you, Lottie" he asked, taking
a step forward.
Instantly the woman rose to her
feet, and he stood face to face, not with
Ben's Lottie, but with Marion Jewell.
Has the grave given up it's dead?"
she asked, recognizing Hugh in spite
of his changed appearance.
THE grave never held me, Marion"
he answered. Marion, Marion-what
shall call you?'
Call me Marion Jewell, just as you
used to- was the reply.
There is but little more to tell. There,
with that grave between them, they
went over the long, bitter past, then
while Hugh went to gladden. the heart
of his old mother, Marion hurried
across the fields to prepare for the we'd
ding that was to take place at shutdown.
Three times seven years had passed
away since last they met, but their
hearts were still tender and true. and
after many days the weary waiting was

An after some time OF hard tightin', an neither

Why William he went for the union, an Ed

Well, man he makes plans for the future the

But God it is who disposes an fixes the final

At Petersburg Grant went a-poundn, deter

An both of ou1 captains was in it-one captain

An after the battle were over they lay in a

Our boys, they'd never come home, for they fit,
an they fell, an they died.
One died for the union he fit for, victor who

the distances from to b. The pole is
first touched to the ground at a, then
tilted over without moving the position
of the hand until he touches the
ground, thus measuring the half rod of
course. The length of the measure
will vary as the person is tall or short.
Used in this way, a person does not
have to stop at every measure. Fig. J

with legs eight or ten feet long, con
nectcd with a stay rod SO tha* the
points are eight feet three inches apart,
measuring half rod at time. THE
stay rod should be detachable at one
end and there may be other holes so as
to set the points at six or seven feet for
laying out raspberry rows.
When not in use it may be folded up
and set in the corner of the barn or
