Herb Folklore,

The following piece of herb folk
lore was told to me many years ago
by North Lincolnshire lady: On
the night our blessed Lord was born
the stable of the nativity was litter
ed with bracken and what we now
call the yellow lady's bedstraw.
Before this time both these plants
had produced in the summer time
insignificant little white flowers, but
then it was the depth of winter, and
they were fowerless.
When the first cry of the divine
infant was heard, the bedstraw
burst into bloom in honor of the
birth of the Saviour of the world,
but the bracken made no sign of
reverence; SO it has come to pass
that the braoken has ever since been
deprived of the power of producing
any blossoms whatever, while the
bedstraw has been endowed with
long sprays of golden forets. Notes

A commission recently appointed to
investigate sanitary conditions OF all
g~raveyards in Denmark was obliged to
condemn sos out of a total number OF
$50. German authorities have forbid
dent he use of water from n well sit

p%erience has shown that cemeteries
should by law be banished far outside
the limits of any city: that no grave
should be opened before complete de-
composition of the body, and that there
fore only one body should be permitted
I'm one grave. Graves not less than 10
feet deep should be located in dry. por-

cremation will absolutely destroy all

The housekeeper was intrusted with the
care of the bicycles and the issue of the
tickets, and as they arrived the machines
were carefully stored and labeled, so that
there would be no difficulty when they
were required again. But the h~ousekeeper
was not a cyclist, and did not understand
the mysteries of the pneumatic tire. She
pinned the tickets on the front tires OF
the machines. where they could be best
seen. and took care that the pints were
stuck well into the tires. When the guests
came to take their departure the pathetic
