Friday Fasts.

Friday fasting of the early Christian
church was simply a modification o.
the Jewish weekly fasts, the custom Of
observing which grew up probably IN
the most post-eXile period of Jewish
history. These fasts, said to be in com
memoration of Moses ascent to Sina!
and his descent therefrom, were not
obligatory on the Jews, but were OBJ.
served pretty generally. The early
Christians did not cease to be Jews be-
cause they followed Christ; so they
maintained their old customs and fast.
ings. So, too, the Catholic church OBJ
tanned the fast day; and in keeping
with its custom of retaining the heath
en- or nom Christian ceremonies under
Christian conditions, the church soon
proposed the Friday fast in memory OF
Christ's death. The custom of Friday
fast was maintained by the early Chris
tians without any especial idea on their
part, so that it is probably impossible
to say when 1t ceased to be a relic OF
Judaism and became a mark or duty
of Christianity.

stranger came TO town, got himself In
troduced to her, and finally persuaded
her to try the matrimonial experiment
second time. They were married
after short courtsfIip, and a few
weeks after the honeymoon the hus-
band gave away his story, and told his
wife that she had married him twice
without knowing it. His explanation
was that on leaving her twenty years
before he had gone on protracted
spree and had finally got himself sent
to the penitentiary of distant state
for a long term. After being liberated
he was ashamed to look up his old
friends, and took it for granted that
his wife had forgotten all about him
by that time. He accordingly went
abroad, and 1t was only on his return
after long period that he heard ac-
cidentally that his wife was still living
at the old home. Rather than run the
risk of being spurned for his heartless-
ness, and relying on an entire change
in his personal appearance, he conceiv-
ed the daring plot Of winning and re-
marrying his own wife. I don't know
what the lady said when she was I'M

The Lord Rosse Reflector.

The massive six-foot reflector in the
Lord Rose telescope at Parsontown
Ireland, is justly considered one of the
modern wonders of the world. The
gigantic reflector, the first that ever
solved the problem of the nebula OF
Orion, is set in the end of fifty-foot
wooden tube, held together by iron
bands. Although it weighs fraction
over four tons 1t is so sensitive that
the pressure of the hand upon the back
will produce distortion in the reflected
image of star. Compared with the
human eye this monster reflector is as
10000 to /; it has penetrating power
of 500, and can reveal stars so remote
from our earth that it would require
$4,000 years for the light to reach us,
and yet light travels at the unthinkable
speed of 1880 miles per second.

When the World Was Cube.

To a person who reads modern books
and modern literature in general, and
who has never had either time, oppor-
tunity or inclination to strike off into
the by-paths which were SO frequently
and industriously followed by ancient
writer's, thinkers and dreamers, the
heading Of this mote" will be an enig-
ma. Without further speculation, how
ever and following the desire which
should always be uppermost in every
writer's mind-that of at once getting
the subject itself before the reader-I
will say that there was time, CEN
turtles since, of course, when the learn
ed men of the world really taught that
the world was square, not merely
fiat, but that it was cube. The prim-
tive geographers of Egypt, Assyria
and China all taught that the world
was square plane" evidences Of
which may be found on thousands Of
ancient monuments in the countries
mentioned, as we'll as in their ancient
manuscripts, upon their inscribed tab
lets of clay and other early literary re-
mains.
One of the most curious discoveries
ever made in Central America concern
ing Toltec belief, symbols, ETC., Is that
they also had similar idea concern
ing the form of what we now speak OF
as the globe" A late writer on the
discoveries made among the monu-
mental ruins of that country says,
"They (meaning the Peruvians, Toll
tees and Quiches) believe the world to
be cube, suspended from the heavens
by cords of gold fastened to each OF
it's corners. "-Exchange.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prNxHAM.l

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always. with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination wiz
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinl1ham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol.
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs PINKuAM-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
4 weakened condition, caused me to
dow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years. l
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
