Hoods SarsapariIla

The statements in the testimonial below
are familiar facts to the immediate friends
of Mr.. Geo. A. Zirkle, school teacher, of
Mt. Horeb. Tenn, very well known
throughout the county, where he was
born and has always lived. 1t illustrates

rilla over all diseases OF the blood. Read it.

st. Patrick's PurgatOrY.

According to the medieval legend, there
was an entrance to purgatory on the is
land of Tough Derg, on tho coast of Ire
land. 1t was simply the mouth of COM
mon cave or cavern, but st. Patrick is
said to have built monastery over it and
to have secured the opening with an i'm
menso grated iron door. The place became
widely known as st. Patrick's purgaUo-
ry' and it was generally believed that any
one who had the courage to explore the pit
would be excused the trial of passing
through the real purgatOry after death.
The fame Of tho place was largely duo to a
poem written in 1853 by Henry of Saltery
which pretended to relate the experience
of Sir Oyayne Miles, who had embraced
the opportunity of eXpiating his crimes in
its darksome depths.
In the year 1896 IA monk from Holland
visited the celebrated shrine and afterward
declared that what was claimed for it was
"travesty on religion" and that the so
called "purgatory' differed in no respect
from dozens Of other known caverns :"
This news was conveyed to the pope. VINO
ordered the monastery destroyed and the
cavern closed up. This order was carried
out to the letter on st. Patrick s day 1897.

Many Preliminaries Before the Married

1t is possible Mark Twain might have
spared his snccr at French marital affairs
had he understood how difficult it is to en-
ter the condition of wedlock in the land
of Bourget and Blouet. Months are some
times consumed in the arrangement OF
preliminariGs.
Under the French law a girl may not
marry until she is over Is years old, and a
man until he is more than IS. Men under
20 and women under 81 must have the
consent of their fathers and mothers. Aft
err that age the consent of the father alone
is necessary. The father may withhold his
consent for three months. The son or the
daughter must ask him three times. II
he refuses the third time and both are of
legal age they may be married without
the paternal blessing. When the woman
is % and the man is 30, they are required
to ask the father only twice The asking
must be through notary, who makes an
official record of the fact
After having waited for the approval of
the head of the home and received it, the
patient French lovers must post at the
marie of their ACCOMPLISHMENTS on two
successive Sundays the announcement of
their intention, and that if anybody has
any objection he or she shall file it with
the mayor or his assistant. If nobody las
objection the lovers may be united three
days after the posting Of the second no
tiCe If there should be objection, the
mayor looks into it. This investigation
may take another week. If the objection
turns out not to be legal, Armand and
Susotte may stand up before the mayor,
sign their names in Il big book, and get
out a certificate If they arc good Catho-
lies, they will go to the priest and get mar
