How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, In fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take For sale by all druggists.

MAY MARRIAGES.

Is the superstition as to May mar riages responsible for the meeting or the annual parliaments of the relig- ious world in this month? Certainly at this season the clergy are so Tree from matrimonial engagements that they can arrange for week i'll town on the strength of the fees for the many marriages they are called upon to perform in April. Whatever the origin, the popular aversion to being married in May is pronounced, and the more remarkable since this is the merry month"; and the Towers
 month"; Tn the Roman Catholic church the belief is connected with the worship of the Virgin, to whom May is sacred. Ever since the mar riage of Mary, Queen of Scots, to Bothwell, May 15, 1567, the month has been regarded as matrimonially un- lucky in Scotland. But the supersti- tion is prehistoric, for pagan Rome cherished the same prejudice against May ges.-London Chronicle.
