The Curfew Bell.

The story of the curfew was but
the unsupported assertion of one histo-
rian Of the sixteenth century, which
was repeated in prose and poetry till
1t was woven into the language. Like
many other legends, there is Just a
grain of truth In 1t, but its suggested
origin is false, the derivation of cur
few is erroneous, and the scuttle
shaped instruments which supported
the theory were quite different articles
Of household use.
Probably the word Is derived not
from couvre feu. cover fire, but from
carrefour, in old French spelling car
fou, from the Latin for crossroads,
and is the name of the morning and
evening bell, which originally sounded
from the crossroads or market places
both in France and England simply to
give the time of day, 1t was and is
rung at 4 or 8 o'clock in the morning
and at s o'clock in the evening. One
inscription on an old bell runs thus:
l am called We Curfue bell,

In every country Of the civilized
world Sisters OF Charity are known.
Not only do they minister to the spir-
itual and intellectual needs Of the
charges committed to their care, but
they also minister TO their bodily
needs.
With 30 many children to take care
OF and to protect from climate and dis
ease, these wise and prudent Sisters
have found Peruna never failing safe
guard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the

received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. s. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: "Thc young girl who used

United States %. The growth OF the

lent epidemics Of the most drastic
character. A single epidemic of small.

easily sweep away the natural growth
OF several years. In 1902, there were
more than 100000 deaths from cholera
