Frightened the Bride to Death.

In the Church of CHRISTIAN at Pisek,
in Bohemia, marriage was about to
be solemnized between Anna Roslin,
aged nineteen, and a youth of her
choice. Bride and bridegroom stood all
ready before the altar, where were
lighted tapers. Before the priest could
unite the bridal pair one Of the tapers
became suddenly extinguished. A loud
shrek came from the bride, and she
gasped, "Meine kerze list erloschen!'
C'My taper is extinguished!) and sank
unconscious into the arms Of the bride.
groom. Immediately all attention was
turned to the condition Of the bride.
Several attempts were made to revive
the poor girl, but in vain. The bride,
in her chaplet and veil, died at the al
tar rails. The superstition Of the vii
lagos of the plain is that If lighted
taper becomes extinguished on either
side of the altar the person standing
on that side of the altar where the light
went out will suffer a dire calamity

rhe Rree6fns Stone.

There was curious superstition
which prevailed in Essex half Gen.
tury ago. 1t was believed that certain
stones possessed the power Of breeding
other stones. remember being taken
hy a man of the upper laboring class
to see a we'll known breeding stone
which lay on the sward by the side or
a lane in the parish Of South Weald.
near Brentwood 1t was seemingly
water worn block of sandstone or pos
sibly, / have since thought, Of pudding
stone, which would explain great
deal.
It was larger than q mans head,
with a cup shaped cavity the size OF
small orange, in which lay pebble
about as big as an acorn. was told
that this pebble continually grew lar
ger and that if it were removed the
breeding stone would begin to breed
another. 1t was evident that the man
firmly believed what he told me, and
he got quite angry when 1 ventured to
cast a doubt upon the story.-Notes

When l was examining the church
bells of the East Riding of Yorkshire
some years ago l came to little place
called Fordon, ON the wolds between
Nation and Bridlington. 1t was very
primitive place, quite cut off from the
world, the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop til
the next place northward. The di-
minutive building which serves as q
church is built near the brow Of the
hill. 1t has no tower, bell turret or
bell cot. On inquiry I found that it
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now and then from a
neighboring parish, tied up his horse
outside the church, opened the door,
put on his surplice and then walked to
the top of the hill and cracked his whip
several times, land then we knaws as
it's time ii gang ii chotch," said my
informant on the spot.-London Notes

HYOMEI CURES CATARRH.
It's Healing Balsams Kill All Catarrhal
Germs - Sold Under Guarantee by
Anders Jacobsen.


There is no more common disease
than catarrh, and none that is more
dangerous. 1t weakens and debili
tates the whole system, il it is al
lowed to run, leads to serious, and
sometimes fatal complications. ID
1t is a note worthy fact that among
the many medicines and treatments
for catarrh, there is only one which
Anders Jacobsen sells under his posi-
tive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure, -Hyomei, Natures
remedy for the cure of catarrh.
No dangerous drugs are taken into
the stomach when Hyomei is used.
Breathed through the small pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, it's healing balsams penetrating
to the most remote cells of the throat,
nose and lungs, killing the germs of
catarrh, healing the irritated mucous
membrane, aud making complete and
lasting cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con-
sisting of an inhaler that can be car
ried in the purse or vest pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hy-
omei, costs only 81. The inhaler will
last lifetime, while extra bottles of
Hyomsi can be procured, whenever
needed, for only so cents.
Anders Jacobsen is selling a good
many Hyomei outfits at this season,
and he has SO much confidence in the
remedy that he guarantees to refund
the money in case it does not cure.
