SCOTCH suPERsTITIoNs.
Curious Methods That Were Adopted
In Sicknexs and Death.

were AUODGG0
In sickness and Death.
A method much IN vogue IN Scotland
ut one time of nscertaining whether
sickness would prove fatal was to dig
two holes in the ground, one called tho
quick grave, the other the dead hole.
The sufferer was then placed between
the two, and the hole toward which he
turned Indicated what would be the
outcome of his malady. Sometimes Il
piece of rock was broken over the head
OF IL person whose last ngonies We're
painful alike to himself and to those
who witnessed them. 1t was believed
that the heart of the sick man would
thus be broken and his release hasten
cd Windows and doors are always
thrown wide open in order that the de
parting spirit may have free egress
from the house and escape from the
evil ones that hover around eager to
lnthrall his soul.
During the interval between death
and burial hens and cats We're kept
carefully shut up. A person meeting
these animals Mt such juncture was
doomed 10 Dllll(lueSS III tIe IuluEe.

the chamber of death, for during the
night prior to the burial the spirit Of
the departed one came to rartake of
them. Stillborn children and little ones
who had not been blessed by the min
lister were buried before sunrise. In
this way their admission to the land of
promise was assured Not to observe
the practice was to dcstinc the souls of
these BARNS to wander homeless and
disconsolate.
The fate OF the suicide is lamcntable.
His body cannot rest in the kirllyard,
for 1t would faint the souls of those
who lie therein Frequently he was

Worms in Hogs


The hog Is more infected with in
tes.lnal worms than any other domes-
tic animal. The worms are created
by impure accommodations along the
Intestinal track and generally pro-
duced by poorly clgested food. The
mature of the hog and his manner Of
eating renders him more susceptible
of intestinal worms than any other
animal. Under the present domestl-
Gated conditions he is not allowed the
nse of his natural instincts 10 obtain
the necessary element that would de-
xtroy these Intestinal parasites. The
hog that is wormy eau neither grow
nor thrive for the reason that the
worms destroy ell the effects of the
putri,ion furnished in the feed. LII
qlld koal strengthens the appetite
and tones up the system

Rose Party.

Mrs. C. Bachelor and Mrs.
L. N. Goodrich were hostesses
to a large company of ladies last
Saturday evening at a Crosse
Party" at the home of the for
mer. The house and porch pre-
sented a delightful appearance,
being decorated with Japanese
lanterns, ferns, sprigs of cher
ries and a profusion of roses.
The evening was spent in visi-
ting, intersperced with several
musical selections, all Of which
were very we'll received. A
guessing game which demand
led quick sharp senses" was
played, and Mrs. Guy Smith
was the recipient of an elegant
boquet of roses in payment of
her labor.
Refreshments were served in
the dining room, which was
most deliberately decorated with
roses and candlabras, while the
punch bowl occupied a promi-
nent place in the reception hall
and was graciously attended by
Miss Emma Green and Miss
Grace Bachelor. Paul Good
rich acted as door tender.
At a late hour the guests de-
parted after having soant a
most delightful event ~, and
assuring Mrs. Bachell and
Mrs. Goedsich of the saa.e.
The Bachelor family leave
very soon for Canada, end we
are sorry to lose SO good a fam
lily, especially will they be miss
ed in society circles and we hope
they will return to us in a short
time, but while they are gone
may success go with them.
A. Edgecolnb bought a mil.
in Logan and will soon take
possession, putting Earl and
Orlo in charge. At present
Mr.. Edgecomb and family will
reside in the Valley, but pre-
sumo later they will remove to
Logan. We hope he will con-
clude to make this city his
home, for his business ability
has made him one of the sub
stantial citizens.

Sneak Thieves

The store of Mrs. Stavely at
California Junction was broken
into yesterday during the hour
,of service at the local church
and some six dollars in money,
pipes and smoking tobacco
were taken. Two boys giving
their names as Warren Digger
and Walter McMonagle were
arrested in the Valley late in
the afternoon by Marshals
Butcher and Brinker. They
stated their homes were in
Blair and their ages fifteen and
twelve years respectively. The
money was found on them and
they are now in the city Jail
awaiting action of the sheriff
from Washington county, Ne
braska.
1t is thought the younger
boy was influenced by the
older, and it is understood there
was a man in their company
but who has made his escape.

We are again back in the
Times office, and surely there
is no place like home. The
east is all right and Boston and
New York are great cities, but
we will take ours in the west
where a man can find time and
room in which to breath. 1t is
pice to go away from home
sometimes, for it makes one APP
Ipreciate home better when they
return. Those who want to
may live i'm the east but we
think the west is good enough
for us.
