Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is quite elaborate.
After many preliminaries the priest
begins this singular performance:
Taking a small portion of the hair of
the bride and groom in turn, from the
center of the forehead, he draws It
down to the bridge of the nose. Then,
pouring oil on the top of the head, no
watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight on to the tip of tho
nose their future will be fortunate,
but if it spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose
bad luck is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
isfaction, the essential and irrevoca-
BILE part of the ceremony takes place.
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted, the bride and
bridegroom mark each others fore
heads with "sindur" (vermilion)
Great care Is always taken that Meth
er shall catch glimpse of the othei
during this Important process, which
finally makea the couple man anu
wife.

A ccannX Preacher.

Major Pora was a discreet man, but
he occasionally told one celebrity a
good story At the expense of another.
One of his favorite stories was Of an
American preacher who preached in
England rader his management.
The sermons attracted greater audi
ences THAI either manager or preacher
had expected, and at length, one night
as manager and managed sat talking
upon the steps of great London
church after the delivery Of success.
full sermon in a neighboring hall, the
dissatisfied preacher struck for higher
wages, and brought such arguments
to bear that the manager felt it neces-
sary to yield.
It was costly talk for Major Pond,
but he keenly enjoyed the humor OF
the situation and took great pleasure
in picturing the great preacher seated

Tho Question AnsWered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-
Many questions are being asked OF
Mr.. G. D. Holt Of ibis place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
two years he has been down with his
back. He was so very bad that he
could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap'
peared we'll and strong as ever.
It is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him How did you
do it,"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did It," and adds This remedy
is a genuine good medicine and one
that l can heartily recommend to
everybody.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad was. was so weak in
my back that couldn't do anything
that needed STOPPING or bending over
and three boxes Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills made me as you see, as well as
ever l was"
"They certainly had a wonderful
effect on my case"

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.

The man Of to-day no matter what
his calling, needs a sharp brain and
to get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder OF Mar
uuette, Mich, who is energetic and
wants to advance in his business,
read an article about food in a re-
lisious paper and in speaking OF his
experience he said: up to three
year ago I had not been able to study
or use my thinking powers to any ex'
tent There was something lacking
and I know now that 1t was due to
the fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
about this time I began the use
of the condensed food Grape-Nuts and
the result has been I can think and
plan with some success. 1t has not
only rebuilt my brain until 1t Is
stronger and surer and more &C.
tive, but my muscles are also harder
and more firm where they used to
be loose and soft and my stomach
is now in perfect condition. can
endure more than twice the amount
of fatigue and my nights rest always
completely restores me. In other
words l am enjoying life, and at
tribute It to the fact that have found
a perfect food" Name given by Pos
