oriqfn of Nuns Headdress.

Very few persons, says French
paper, know the origin of the head
dress which so many nuns wear, and
which hides so much of their faces. II
was formerly the custom for converts
to send nuns to the various cities and
towns for the purpose of collecting
aims, and as a rule two nuns, one old
and the other young, went to each
place. They wore small caps and
were popularity known as Swallows
of Lent"
On a certain Ash Wednesday two OF
them succeeded in obtaining admis-
sion to the Kings palace in Paris,
and though the monarch and his
courtiers we're at dinner, they did not
hesitate to solicit aims from them.
One of the nuns was very pretty, and
the young mobiles who were feasting
cast such bold glances at her that
she blushed with shame, whereupon
the king rose from the table, and,
taking his napkin, folded it in two and
placed it on her head in such a man.
mer that it consealed her bushes.
Ever since that day, it is said, this
kind of headdress has been worn by
nuns.

This window dresser was putting
garments on two show window dunn
mics the other day and had partially
draped two of them. He went down
stairs for an armful of apparel, and In
the meantime two helpers had re-
moved the dummies" When he came
back, ladened with apparel. two of his
helpers had removed the lay figures
and had fallen back for reinforce

in the store to admire the window.
She was speeches., and when the
window dresser flew upstairs he grab
bed the young lady about the waist
and started for the window. She let
out a yell that shook the building and
jolted the young expert so that he
could scarcely get his breath.
Explanations were in order, but the

The Lord Mayor and the schnorrer.

The Lord Mayor and the Schnorrer.
A good story is told by the Jewish
World respecting Sir Marcus Samuel's
dealings with "a clever schnorrer,
which whether true or not, is worth
recording. Thinking that in conse-
quence of Sir M. Samuel's proud ele-
walton he had a special claim on his
lordships bounty, the schnorrer called
at his private residence and asked to
see the lord mayor. What do you
want him for?" sternly asked the jani-
tor, cycling the dilapidated visitor.
Tell his lordship that the Almighty's
brc.hcr-in-law wants to see him." was
the audacious message. Having no
retort at hand. the footman introduc-
ed the schnorrer with this singular
message. what do you mean by
calling yourself the Almighty
brother-in-law?" asked the lord mayor
in surprise. well, you see" was the
answer, with the faint ghost of grin,

but, as rule, the medical profession has
little or no enthusiasm in the treatment
of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them to be
incurable.
1t therefore created great sensation in
medical circles when Dr. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised compound
which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and in
short time became known to thousands of
catarrh sufferers north south, east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna
is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour
in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file in
the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
