man, they met last night at the Inverness

mounted their wheels and set out to Lynn
haven Bay, where DR.. Robinson made them
man and wife, Miss Spier's brother fol-
lowed the couple in a buggy, but failed tn
overtake them before the nuptiaI knot was
tied. Miss Spier is said to be wealthy An
other event OF interest was A coaching
party, given by Mrs. ]. B. Brown Thurs

We should at all hazards keep the
feet warm. The difference between cold
feet and warm is a difference which
has an important effect upon the gener-
al temperature Of the body and an
equally important effect upon both
health and comfort alike in the night
and in the day. The blood, propelled
by the heart. c~irculates. as we know,
through the whole body. If a consid-
cradle part of the body, like the two
feet, is very cold. the warm blood has
to pass through a large cold area. and it
becomes cooled in passing. But in the
case of cold feet not only is the area
cold, but the flow of blood. in conse-
auence Of the remoteness of. the feet
from the cardiac pump. is at Its lowest.
There Is consequently the element OF
time to be considered, and when this Is
considered it is perceived how very
much really cold feet may lower the
whole temperature of the blood. and SO
of the body. On the other hand, when
thu feet are warm, very warm, they
will not lower, but actually raise the
temperature Of the blood, and thus
make a very important difference, in
deed. in the warmth of the whole body
Thinking of these things, u may
readily see why Il small degree OF cold
ness in the feet may produce IN some
persons collie pains, and even diarrhea,
while a greater degree OF GOODNESS IN
the feet may bring about in others even
a typhlitis or ~peritonitis. London Hos

The family were all away from
home that night. After the child
rem returned home from school
they cooked their snpper before
going to their granpa's to spend
the night where their parents
were, and it is supposed that the
fire originated from the fire they
left in the fireplace, or perhaps
that the chimney caught while
they were cooking supper. and
that it broke out after the chill
