A BRETON WEDDING.
Picturesque Parade to Display the
Household Furniture.

Household Furniture.
A typical Breton wedding is as curl
Gus as it is improyident. So poor Of
ten are the young pair that the only
way they can set up housekeeping is
by presents from their friends of food,
fax, furniture and money. The youth
desirous Of matrimony simply offers
his hand to the object of his choice.
If she accept she must confirm her ac-
quiescence by drinking wine with him.
Her fathers consent is asked by proxy,
the deputy holding a piece of furze
during the interview. The father
usually offers an old woman, a young
widow and a child before granting the
request.
On the wedding day a cOwherd leads
round the village an OK wagon laden
with the wedding furniture. On the
top Of this load two maidens are seat
ed, one spinning hemp and the other
fax.
The bride shows her fine breeding by
making her friends drag her to church.
On either side of the altar burns q wax
taper, and it is expected that which
ever of the two is nearest to the least
brilliant light will die first
The bride on leaving the church is
presented with a distaff to remind her
of her duties. Tripe, butter, buck
wheat bread and cider form the mar
riage feast, toward which each guest
pays his portion.
At nightfall, according to an ancient
custom, the mother gives her daughter
a handful of nuts. The happy pair are
serenaded and are served with soup
containing crusts threaded together, in
symbol Of unity.

A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other displace-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or a more per-
manent cure than DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t has record of over forty
years of cures, 1t is the most potent
invigoratlng tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. 1t is made

tains not a drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into vFa-
vorite Prescription has the written en-
dorSement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount Of
non-professional stimonials-though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you a substitute. You
know what you want and it is his busi-
ness to supply the article called for.
