BLESS THE DVMB WORKERS

The old custom of blessing the
horses on st. Anlhony's day is still
kept up in some parts of Switzerland
and at a place called Grimde, in Bel
GUM. The peasants firmly hold the
idea that the blessing is very neces-
sary to keep their horses strong and
well, and to preserve them from harm
during the coming year. A writer in
Little Folks, after witnessing the cere-
mony, says that as noon approached
every one was on the tiptoe of expec-
tatlon,~ and great we're the prepara-
tions going on inside the church. At
length, about half-past twelve, a pro-
.cession left the building headed by
the chief priest, followed by other
priests in gorgeous gold-embroidered
sestments, bearing the Host beneath
q golden canopy and a number of con
secrated banners. The little band
paused outside the churchyard in or
der to allow the horses and their
riders plenty of time to fall in behind,
and the long procession made it's
way slowly upward toward the center

SURFEIT or MOOSE MEAT

years. DR.. H. Oskar somner, who,

with most thorough examination Of
