or delay it. 1t provides for an appoint

prove unjust, and these are to remain in

was spirited and continued three hours,

the fight for the measure on the floor of
the House. After various amendments
had been voted down, several stalwarts
and Democrats announced they would
vote for the bill rather than see no legis~
lation on the subject. The Assembly also
passed a bill requiring employers who
demand notice of leaving from employees
to give the same notice liz ease Of a dis

FAMOUS ENGLISH WELLS.
Some Whose Waters Are Charged
with Magic or Miraculous Power.


with Magic or Miraculous Power.
Though there are hundreds of wells
supposed to possess magical power
scattered all over England, the general
public is ignorant of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be a possible ex-
ception In the well of st. Keyne, in
Cornwall, for Southey has made it ia
NOUS in a witty little poem. The mag
ic of its waters is such that the hus-
band or wife who drinks first from 1t
after leaving the altar will have the
upper hand over the mate for their
joint lives. The bride of whom Southey
tells us did not wait till after the mar
riage ceremony to pay a visit to the
well, but took the %precaution of taking
a bottle with her to the church.
Another well, in Monmouthshire,
which has a peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maidens is known is
the ''virtuous we'll" For generations
the maidens of that locality have nc
credited 1t with marvellous powers in
~forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop a pebble into its water
and count the resultant bubbles. for
each bubble represents a month Of
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to propitiate
the genius which presides over the well
1t is necessary to decorate the BRAN
bles which shade 1t with bits of white
cloth.
Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such a one is st. Winifred's, at
Holywell, which Is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of Its origin is a very pretty
one. 1t Is said that twelve centuries
ago ST. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter of a Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc, a prince of Ill repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and al last he killed her in a ft OF
rage. From the spot on which st.
Winifred's likelihood fell there gushed
forth a stream of crystal water which
has worked miracles In her name for
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh Is heir can be cured by one or IN
other of these wells. st. Nsnan's. In
Cornwall, Is said to restore lunatics to
sanity, but the patient must be inn
mersed in the water and held there un-
til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems q heroic measure. But even
this Is not SO severe as the treatment
which must be endured il a mailman is
to be cured at Llandegla well. In
Wales. for after the victim is nearly
drowned he is trussed like a fowl and
laid under the communion table of the
neighboring church for the night.
