MYSTERIOUS LAKE.

Switzerland Has Body of Water of a

Lake Morat in Switzerland has a queer
habit of turning red about two or three

say, when they see the waters of the lake
reddening, that ii is the blood of the Bur-
gundlanS. AS matter of fact, some of
the bodies of the Burgundians killed in
the battle were thrown into the lake.
while others were tossed into Il grave filled
with quicklime. This historical recollec-
ton angered the Burgundian soldiers of
the victorious armies OF the republic in

monument raised in honor of their COM

preached them for that piece of vandal-
ism.
1t would hardly do to attribute the red

of the soldiers of Charles the bold. The
coloring Is due to the presence in large
quantities Ct little aquatic plants called
by naturalists oscillatroia rubescens. The
curious thing about it is that Lake Mo

ton most remarkable for health and longev-
Ity. The plain, undccorated facts about DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are all
that Is necessary to convince ir-mirded
people of its transcendent merit. They
are as follows:
All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, propagate and increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
body. When they find weak spot, they
stick to the weak spot. 1t becomes a dis
eased spot and the disease is called by the
name corresponding to its location in the
body. The cause is the same for nearly all
diseases. All impurities are germs, or breed
germs. Impure blood means germ filed
blood. Kill the germs, eliminate the inn
purities, enrich the blood, and it will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
It, and give it power to throw off the germs
that exist there. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ral Discovery is designed TO do this-that
is the theory. The facts are these--tens of
thousands of people have used the Dis
covery." 1t used to be sold with the under
standing that if it didn't cure it should be
returned, and the money refunded. No
body ever asked for the money and so that
clause was dropped. Thousands of people
have written voluntary letters of thanks to
its discoverer. a few of these letters have

Why Wear Mourning?

The custom is outworn: it is an an
achroism in the nineteenth century. 1t
is unchristian; it clouds the spiritual
significance Of the resurrection with the
ever present expression of temporal
loss. It is cruel; it forces helpless and
innocent people into action which en-
tails privation and unnecessary suffer-
ing. 1t is untruthful; it makes false
outward show of changes in sentiment.
And it is essentially vulgar; for it press
es private affairs upon public notice; it
thrusts claims of fashion and frivolity
upon time which most greatly moves
the heights and depths Of being; and it
forces its superficial worldliness into
the fiercest throes which can ever rend
human nature. Why then do we still
wear mourning p North american Re
