strange Marriage Customs.

A singular marriage custom prevails
among the French Canadians in Que
bee. After the morning marriage SER
vice in the church the bridal party. in
oaleehe or carriole, makes tour of
calls upon relatives and friends during
the day and then returns again to the
church for vespers.
Before the evening dance at the
brides new home comes the supper.
When the company rises from the
table, the bride keeps her seat, and
some one asks with great dignity:
why does madame wait? Is she so
soon in bad grace?
She replies: Somebody has stolen
my slipper. l cannot walk
Then they carry her. chair and all,
in to the middle room, while a loud
knocking announces a grotesque, rag
ged vender of boots and shoes. He
kneels before the slipperless bride and
tries on long succession of old boots
and shoes of every variety and size
until at last he finds her missing shoe.
The groom redeems it for good
price, which is spent In treating the
company. If the groom is not watch
full. they steal her hat and cloak

A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN.
Experiments Made with Food.

A certain professional woman in New
York, connected with one of the large
institutions there, had had a curious
experience with an experiment in using
a certain kind of food. 1t seems that
in October last, she had a serious ILL
ness and was at the point of death,
the brain and body in the last stages
of exhaustion. Her remarkable eXper-
attention of the makers by some of
her friends, and in reply to letter,
she wrote as follows;
Il have no objection to the public
knowing of the wonderful transforma-
ton my system has undergone by the
use of Grape-Nuts since November,
1899. | began using the food when con-
valeseing and when in an exceedingly
low condition. And useu a small guam
tity and became so fascinated with the
flavor that l gradually discontinued
nearly all other food, including tea and
coffee.
up to date have consumed about
$50 packages and have gained 20 pounds
in flesh. Am marvel to all my friends
who are aware of my former state of
health. There are about fifty families
who have adopted the use of Grape
Nuts because of my experience. You
can give my name and home address,
but do not mention my professional
connection" Mrs. E. N Wood. $50
Amsterdam Ave, New York City.
There is a reason. The makers of
Grape-Nuts select certain parts of the
grains of the field that contain delicate
particles of phosphate of potash and al
bumen. These elements, when COM
bined in the human body, go directly
to rebuild the gray matter in the brain
and nerve centers of the body.
This is a demonstrated fact and can
be proven by any one who cares to
make the test. When one nourishes
and builds UP the brain and nerve CEN
ters, that is practically the keynote to
the whole health proposition, for when
the nervous system is in perfect poise,
all parts of the body respond.
Grape-Nuts are for sale at all the
large grocery stores in the country
and can be found in use in practically
all of the best families in America.

After a couple of passes Jeffries
swung his right to Corbett's jaw and
then rushed him across the ring to the
ropes TO a neutral corner At close
quarters Corbett hooked left twice to
the face, sending the blood squirting
again from Jeffries's face JEFF threw
two hard let's into the body AMI
smashed his left again on corbett' s
face, sending Corbetts head back. Then
JEFF crowded him to the ropes and with
full swinging left smash on the Jaw
sent Corbett rolling down and out.
Corbetts head struck the floor heavily
and he rolled over in a vain attempt
to regain his feet, but he was too far
gone to recuperate within the call Of
ten seconds. Corbett lay like 4 log
after rolling twice over on the ring
floor, but a moment after Referee
White had counted him out he was
able to regain his feet and the seconds
had little difficulty in reviving him
