Another great game of foot ball will

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees Of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-''Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse."
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case Of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma OF two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none Of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula-and that one
cure is Narvelo. This marvel

FRISCO Sports to Bet Heavily on Big
Fight.

The sporting men Of San Francisco,
who are, perhaps, the greatest bettors in
this country, will bet much money on
the coming fight between Corbett and
Sharkey. Every pool room in Frisco
he's already begun preparations for a big
rush on the night Of the fight. -,
It is expected that about $75GOOO will
be wagered OH the result of the fight.
The fact that the pool rooms in San Fran
cisco give odds on the probable number
of rounds that the fight will last, encour-
ages the sports to bet their half OF the
money that way and the other half on
their favorite to win the decision.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price tor it?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.

Christmas In Oxford.

OXIOrUs
England, the land of the medieval
Yqletide festivities. is the home of
many strange and interesting Christmas
traditions. This is especially true of the
town of Oxford, the place where Shakes
peare and his company of fellow actors
were wont to hold down the boards at
Christmastide three centuries ago. The
day of the st1olling player has passed
away, but the old time Christmas
choral singers still 60 through the
streets Of Oxford singing from door to
soor their quaint old fashioned songs.
A strange old custom is kept up at
Queens college, Oxford, where each
Christmas day huge boar's head is
carried into the big old dining hall,
followed by the choir boys singing a
Latin hymn Of thanksgiving. The
greens with which the head is dressed
are afterward distributed among the
guests present at the festival, and the
head itself is given to the poor Of Ok.
ford town. The peculiar part of the
ceremony, which has been held with
out break for several centuries, is that
the boar's head always appears with a
New Testament in it's mouth. Tradi-
tion explains this as follows: During
the sixteenth century a pious fellow Of
Queens college was walking on Shot
over bill, just outside Of Oxford, com.
mendably engaged in reading and study
ing the New Testament as he strolled
along. He was suddenly attacked by q
wild boar and only saved his life by
thrusting the New Testament he held
in his hand down the throat Of the
fierce animal, which, when subdued.
was conveyed to the college in triumph.
