rHE season of catching cold is

"HE season of catching cold is
upon us. The cough and the
sneeze and the nasal twang are
to be heard on every hand. The ORR
gin of chronic catarrh, the most COM
mon and dreadful of diseases is a
cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than
usual. The cold generally starts in
the head and throat. Then follows
sensitiveness of the air passages which
incline one to catch cold very easily.
At last the person has a cold all the
while seemingly, more or less dis
charges from the nose, hawking, spit
ting. frequent clearing of the throat,
nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the
head, and sore, manned throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Pc
runa properly used never fails to cure
a common cold, thus preventing
chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle
of Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the
catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed
more than one bottle is necessary to
complete a cure. Peruna has cured
ty years standing. 1t is the best, if
not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than
cure. Every person subject to CATCH
ing cold should take Peruna at once
at the slightest symptom of cold or
sore throat at this season of the year
and thus prevent what is almost GER
tain to end in chronic catarrh.

Overman, Mr.. Smith said that the
pamphlet containing the manifesto did
not state in terms that 1t was d reve-

the manifesto had not been put in

along been needed and without which

AN UNKNOWN MAN
FOUND IN THE WOODS.

Augusta, March 5.-An unknown
man was found to-day in the woods
near the home of Mr.. H. B. King,
near Summerville. in a comatose con-
dition. He had lain in the woods all
night in a drunken sleep. and alcohol
ism and exposure will probably result
in his death. He was removed TO
the City Hospital, but little hope is
entertained OF his recovery.
He is about 80 years old. medium
hight. small brown moustache. but is
without any article that gives any clue
to his identity. He was plainly dress
ed, but his clothes were in good con-
dltion. Several empty whisky bottles
were near him when found. Whether
he sought this secluded place to COM
init suicide, or simply wandered there
while intoxicated is unknown. He WAS
hardly expected 10 live through the
day. but though he has not regained
consciousness, Is stili alive.

sucking of the Roman
twins by she wolf in a cave near
this spot Part of the unspeakable
mysteries of the Lupercalia was cele-
brated in such a cave. But much Of
this inference is pure after-thought.
1t does not affect in the least the
theory that the festival was begun as
a recognition of the prodigious powers
of nature.
Choice by Lots.
During the Lupercalia it was the
custom of the male celebrants to draw
from a box the names of young women
and girls, possession of whom was thus
determined by chance. 1t was the
policy of the early Church to adapt to
it's own system those customs of the
pagans which it could not extirpate.
This method of mating or betrothal re-
sisted prohibition and even substitu-
ton. 1t is related that St. Francis
de Sales and other Christian pastors
put the names of saints on the lots to
be drawn, in the place of those of
maidens, and charged the young men
who received them to initiate those
saints throughout the year. But while
they may have tried very hard to obey
this injunction, it appears that the lot
drawing, not in honor of Februata
Juno. but in honor of that which she
personifiei, continued in secret. The
Church could not do otherwise than
tolerate the custom, when the name
of patron saint was substituted by
popular fancy for that of Juno.
There is no clear account of how
ST. Valentine came to be made the
bishop of the diocese of love, which
Dome so prettily describes. There
are several st. Valenlines, and it is
not even known to certainty which
of these owns the invisible mitre.
The one who died martyr at Rome
under Claudius is, however. most spo-
ken of in this connection. Some
authorities say that he was the bishop

kUE ORIGIN OF
ST. VALENTINES DAY


festival of St Valentine. 1t is we'll
known that in many languages one
letter of the alphabet may easily be
substituted for another through popu-
lar error - the spelling of particular
words It is suspected by some that
the name is primarily derived from
the Latin vale which is equivalent
to our farewell" salutation that
was placed at the end of letters; but
a large number more ingeniously nnd
it's source in the Latin "valens, vail
ant, gallant. According to them, in
passing from the Latin into the Nor
man French this word took In
lieu of the ~" and logical develop
ment of it was the noun galantln,
lover of women. AS gallantry ana
valance. in another sense, are syn
onymous it was easy for gaiatln
to become ''valantan" or "valantln.
1t is pleasant to leave all these con-
lectures aside after simply passing
them in review, and to determine,
merely for the delectable purposes
of the imagination, that we will join
with Charles Lamb and other most
worthy dreamers in regarding st. Val
entine as a real bishop, who has
very charming mission in connection
with the love affairs of humanity.
Thus does the inimitable Lamb apos-
trophize him: Like unto thee, as
suredly. there is no mitred father in
the calendar. Thou contest attended
with thousands and ten thousands
little Loves, and the air is
'Rrusht with the kiss of rustlins wings
Singing Cupids are thy choristers
and thy prosecutors, and instead OF
the crozier the mystical arrow is
borne before thee"

Many superstitions We're embrold-

dition, and some of them are held IN
honor even to this day. One is founo
in this most curious extract from
young woman's diary, published IN
an old-time English periodical:
Last Friday was st. Valentines
Day and the night before l got five
bay leaves and pinned four OF them
to the four corners of my pillow, and
the fifth to the middle; and then, II
dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty
said we should be married before the
year was out. But to make 1T more
sure, | boiled an egg hard, and took
out the youk and filed it with salt;
and when l went to bed, eat it she'll
and all. without speaking or drinking
after it, We also wrote our lovers
names upon bits of paper, and rolled
them up in clay, and put them into
water, and the first that rose up was
to be our Valentine. Would you think
it?-Mr. Blossom was my man. 4

morning till he came to our house;

man before him for all the world.

mouth of a country lass the we'll
known tradition that the first person
whom one meets on Valentines day
is to become ones spouse. She sings:
