Calling People to Church.

When l was examining the church
bells of the East Riding of Yorkshire
some years ago 1 came to u little place
called FOrdon, on the wolds between
Nation and Bridlington. 1t was a very
primitive place. quite cut off from the
world, the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop to
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 found that it
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now and then from a
neighborlns parish, tied up his horse
outside the church. opened the door.
put on his surplce and then walked to
the top of the hill and cracked his whip
several times. land then we knaws as

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!'
("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 ut the al
tar rails. The superstition of the vii
lagos of the plain is that if a 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 dire calamity

WAS WEAK and DIZZY
Or. Williams Pink Pills Restored the
Patient to Perfect Health
And STRENGTH.

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless.
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness. at
was so weak at times, she says, s.that
could hardly stand, and my head be-
came so dizzy that it seemed as if the
floor was moving around.
"My condition at last became so bad
that was obliged to give up work in the
mill, and later still became so feebly
that l could not even attend to me
household duties After the slightest
exertion had to lie down and rest until
regained strength.
GA friend who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. | bought box and began to
take them. The benefit was SO positive
and so quickly evident that l continued
to use the pills until l had taken alto
gether six boxes By that time was
entirely cured, and for two years have
had no return of my trouble. l am now
IL the best of health and able to attend
to all my duties. lam glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit received and l hope
that my statement may be the means of
inducing others who may suffer in this
way to try this wonderful incidence
The secret of the power of DR. Will
liams' Pink Pills in cases of debility,
such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of new tide of
strength.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 90 cents per box, six
