Irrigat on at Great Bend.

Great Bend, June 22-Water has
been turned into the great Koen irri-
cation ditch through one gate, and by
evening the first four miles of the ditch
contained an average of three feet of
water. Koen expects to have water on
a farm near this city, which he has
leased for irrigation purposes, and will
then demonstrate to farmers the bene-
fits of practical irrigation. The test
of the ditch and headgates was entirely
satisfactory in every respect.

Reminder of an Old Custom.

Hundreds of old country people, espe-
cially of Irish birth, will remember the
Christmas candle which is lighted and
placed in the window at midnight OF
Christmas eve and allowed to burn there
on the successive nights until it is all
consumed. 1t is one Of the most inter.
esting of all the customs associated with
the re- igious celebration of the Christian
festival 1t is symbolic, of course, of the
Light of the World, but SOME hold
that with the mistletoe, the holly and
the festive practices of the season it goes
back to Druid or pagan origin and is
derived from some o!deu symbolism of
the returning warmth of the sun, How
ever this may be, 1t Is not generally
known that the custom has been pre-
served in Canada TO this day by few

The Treating Habit.
W. A. GLCRIsT

1t was Pope Telesphorus, who died
before the year $50 A. D., who insti.
tuted Christmas as a festival, though
for some time it was irregularly held in
December, April and May. But for CEN
turtles before there had been feast of
Yule among the northern nations whose
great enjoyment was in drinking the
wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave
them so much delight as indulgence in
"carousing ale," especially at the sea-
son of short days when fighting was
ended. 1t was likewise their custom at
all their feasts 'for the master of the
house to fill large bowl or pitcher, to
drink out of it first himself, and then
give to him that sat next, and so it
went around " This may have been the
origin of that popular American custom
known as treating 1t is certain that
upon our Christian observance of this
glorious day have been migrated habits
taken from rude and barbarous people

A CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE.

of the visiting surgeon of the port, com.
PEELED the brig was in to toss about in
the roadstead for week before it was
admitted TO the quarantine harbor
Then l was required to send my clothes
for fumigation, and at the end of an
other week the authorities permitted
me to land and take up my quarters in
the lazaretto for IA days more, ION sus-
picion of plague.
The Odessa lazaretto is built in the
form of n quadrangle Each room is
separated from its neighbor by a double
wall, between which sentinel takes
his station TO see that neighbors hold
no communication with each other
There is small courtyard i'll front of
each room, and double iron grating

hushed. But instead of the usual sounds
my ear was assaulted with knockings on
the floor and q noise as of a saw or file
at work. When the restaurateur came
round in the morning to take orders for
breakfast | told him what l had heard
and suggested that the lady might be
i'll and need medical aid He went next
door, but was sent away with the init
nation that nothing was wanted. Two
or three more days elapsed. The time
had arrived for my release, On the very
day indeed when | was to be emanci-
pated my neighbors were also to be
freed | heard the officers arrive next
door Some words were uttered, follow
ed by an alteration Then the man cried
bitterly. What could be the matter?
More officers came. The man was fetter-
ed and taken away Where was the wo-
man? He had stabbed her in his anger,
and under some absurd notion that her
existence would be forgotten by the au.
thorities he had taken up two planks
and deposited the dead body of the poor
girl beneath them This explained the
operations which followed upon the 81

fumigated apparel, guarded by two sol.

intelligent people recognize that they are
threatened by this deadly disease, but take
no precautions gainst it.
Consumption approaches its victim step
by step. First there is little "out of
sorts feeling the digestion isn't just right,
the appetite falls off, the liver is inactive,
the assimilation of the fe-giving elements
OF the food is imperfect, the blood gets i'm
pure and the body is improperly nourished.
These conditions gee worse and worse. The
heart through the arterial system is pump
ing thin, poisonous blood into every organ
OF the body. The organs that are inherently
weakest break down first. Ordinarily the
lungs. As the last straw that breaks the

not able to do the least work, but most of the
time was in bed, was all rundown, very weak,
my head was dizzy, and was extremely des-
pondent. The first bottle took did not seem to
do me much good but had faith in it and con-
hnued using it until had taken fifteen bottles,
and now do not look nor feel like the same man

thankfully say am entirely cured OF disease
