Remarkable Cure.

Mr.. Alexander Moore, a reliable busi-
ness man, of 1880 S. 18th St., Philadel-
phia, Pa, says: Il contracted a violent
cold which settled all over me. The
pain IN my chest and side was excruci-
ating. The doctor gave me medicine
and b1istered my side, but I only grew
worse. Then you gave me a bottle of
Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith
in it, but decided to try it. I took of
good doses before bed time, and rubbed
it we'll over my b1istered side. That
night slept like a top-ny first good
rest for over a week-and awoze in the
morning cured. Brazilian Balm is sim
ply invaluable"

1 forever. One wouldt think she would be
 embarrassed when her ex-husband met
 her on the promenade on the arm of his | chum, but the woman who can calmly
 listen with plenty of powder on her | face while her escapades are told in
 court will blush at nothing. In fact,
 she whispered loud enough for one of
 her friends to applaud a little speech
 as an epigram.
 People point out the Vanderbilts.
 who, after all, are quiet looking people,
 but I think more admiration Is given
 to Mrs. John Jacob Astor, in her broad
 cloth of the new blue, with velvet | toque to match, such as is worn by the
 .czarina of Russia. She looks a very
 picture Her eyes are bright as dia-
 monds, and she has that patrician air
 which is found in the old families of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Dell
 aware and Massachusetts.
 Then there are innumerable big, handsome fellows dancing attendance
 around pretty little girls and telling of | the noble deeds that they performed during the war According to all &C., counts, the girls should be walking around with legless men and with arm less men, but even if this condition were reached the clever fellows would still keep their eyes and so be able to
 recognize beauty well dressed. Out | come the different horses. Somebody
 starts the applause as a prize ribbon is given to a lovely bay. A minute after there is a handsome trap, driven by
 tall, slender chap, who holds the reins
 as if he controlled them here as well
 as at home. Then come the ponies-the dear little ponies-the children cheer, and the pony that gets the prize is
 made much of, while his proud owner | still in velvet knickerbockers, feels that | the rest of the world knows nothing about training horses.
 | Now, there is fun! Here come the
 four-in-hand and on one sits the cley- | CT but fat driver, whose enormous coat | is only equaled by the large, white pearl buttons on it. Win? Naturally he wins. Providence didn't give him that jolly face not to allow him to win wherever he goes in life or with horses. And around the ring they go, these beauties. Men and women laugh and the horses neigh for very delight, while the women smile because they look
 beautiful, and the prettiest girl of all is wondering what her gown shall be next year at the horse show. And nobody
 knows what it will be next year. Maybe the prettiest girl will be matron and won't come on for the horse show, but will stay at her home in Kentucky and
 wonder and wonder how it was she had such a good time last year.
 Foolish maiden! Years after you will tell of this delight to your granddaugh- ter and you will be describing the dress you wore and you will end the story by telling of the beaux who, dangled about you, of the bright lights, of the gay dresses and beautiful drapeaux, and when some golden haired little girl in-
 quires "Who was your chum?" you will answer, "Bab.'

QUEER WOOINGS
 lN SWITZERLAND.

There are very few early marriages among the Swiss. They are almost to a couple, dependent, not upon wages but upon land, and it is not he who can work who can afford to marry, but he who owns enough land to produce the necessities of family life. The Swiss are hardy. All the conditions of their ex- istence make them so. The hardest and most ceaSelesS work is their necessary tot, and that work, as a rule, yields them but the merest sufficiencies. Their summers are summers of cruel labor and their harvests harvests of only just enough sheaves of corn, bins of apples, heaps of cheese, stores of honey, bum dles of flax, hemp and wool to insure their bitter winters from nakedness and hunger. They must work, and they must think ahead. They must hoard through all the lavish, luscious sum- mer, or winter will bring them to ab- ject want want which their neighbors will certainly lack the means and pos- sibly lack the will to relieve.
 They have no leisure. They have no time, perhaps no heart, for lovemak- ing. Their lovemaking before marriage is neither very moving nor very ad- mirable, but the loyemaking that pre- cedes marriages is the least of love- making, the chill tremble of light be- fore the full glory of lifes day. In Switzerland there is no lovemaking aft CT marriage.
 There is something very sad and dreary about a wedding in the canton of Valais. There is no sign of rejoicing, no music, no feasting, not even a days cessation from the extremely hard work which makes up the daily life-the life of each and every day in this, the hard est, narrowest pulsed of all the Swiss cantons. At daylight, or rather just before daylight, at day dawn, the bride and groom and the few necessary wit nesses walk soberly-gloomily it always seems-to church. There is no mar riage garment, no flutter of bridal ribbon, no perfumed flush of bridal flowers. All wear their workaday clothes.
 The ceremony is briefy-almost sul- lenly-performed. There are no con- gratulations. Resignation seems the warmest emotion felt-eertainly it is the warmest expressed-and it is not expressed warmly. There is not even a Huplldl hloSs Ac Oi lioL oily. l he bridegroom is not exultant. All seem sullen, all depressed. The priest is paid his scanty fee-the scantiest possible. The depressing, the dreary, the deadly dull function is over. The day has fair ly broken now, and all turn away and plod sullenly to their customary back breaking daily toll.
 There is no lingering in the church porch for the newly made wife nor for her bridegroom. They must get to their daily work, and get there at once; no delaying work for one five minutes for peasants of Canton Valais. Perhaps both bride and groom feel little less
The age-herald., 1898-11-06

like work than is their industrious wont, for both have been up even a lit- tie earlier than is their habit. They must part sharply now and each off to
 work. They will meet later at their frugal Il o'clock dinner of apple brandy and pulse soup. Perhaps there are fewer love mar riages among the peasants of Valais than in any other part of Europe On- ly one brother or one sister of each family is allowed to marry that the scant family patrimony may never be diminished. A family council, after grave and long cold blooded considera- ton, decides which brother or sister shall wed-perpetuate the blood. and hand down the meager wealth. For more than one to wed, for inclination to come fiouncing in and take risks, would be improvident, and there is no improv- idence in Canton Valais.
 They even gamble as they wed and woo, these dumb, numb Swiss stoics- that is, without expense and when they have nothing better Q. e., more finan- cially profitable) to do. They are as prudent-oh, so prudent!--in their gam ings as in their marryngs. Card play ing is both an amusement and an occu- patton of their dull winters, chiefly so perhaps at Zermatt, but to no small ex- tent all over the republic. They do not play for money, nor for tangible goods or chattels. That would be. most un- Swiss. They play for prayers. The day after the play all the losers must go to their village church and pray earnestly for the souls of those who have won. An, there is a humorous side to life as we queer humans live it, even in Swift zerland
 Wedding gifts are few and far be- tween in Switzerland, it almost goes without saying. But in about half the cantons the bridegroom is expected to bestow largess to the extravagant ex- tent of one pair of new shoes. In some cantons it is the chief bridesmaid who is overwhelmed with this great bounty, in others it is the groomsman who is so enriched. And bridegrooms have been known to give two pairs of shoes-one to the attendant maiden, one to the groomsman. In those cantons where marriages are not unattended by | function and merrymalxing each guest | usually receives a handkerchief. Red, | the oriental bridal red, Is usually their l color. Bride or groom provides the l stuff, and the brides girl friends sew l them.
 The brides wedding dress-if she have one, which happens about one time in three-is somber garment. The Swiss make but little use of color, especially the women. The men sometimes paint their houses gayly. The women are rarely gayly dressed.
 In some cantons the driving of the dowry cart from the brides old house to her new is an important and conse- quential function, as it or some analo- gous custom is in so many, many parts of the world. A. N.

Don,t snub the Little ones.

There are households in which the children are scarcely permitted to speak above their breath. This is not at all right. In the home there should be freedom of speech. Children should be encouraged to express, in a modest way, their opinions before their parents and to come to them for advice and counsel in all their difficulties and di- lemmas. If this course is pursued, they will not be likely to take any. serious steps in after life without either con- sulting the old folks at home or apply ing the home standard of propriety to any enterprise they may have in view.
