Legend of Maqpie and Robin.

The peasants of France, in accord
ance with tradition, pierce the head
Of magpie with a thorn whenever
they catch one. According to the
French legend, after Jesus had been
nailed to the cross two birds alighted
on the extended arms of the instru-
ment of death. One was a magpie
with a beautiful aigrette on its head
and long waving tail, then the hand
soonest of birds but the wickedest,
chirping insult at the suffering Jesus.
The other bird was a modest little
bird with gray plumage, (which ap-
preached the cross timidly, uttering
cries of grief With it's beak it tried
to pluck away one of the thorns. A
single drop OF the blood fell on the
plying little gray bird and gave the
yobin redbreast.

century it's population now is nearly
double what it was at the beginning of
the century. 1t is believed that at the
beginning of the Christian era there
were only few million people in the
whole of Europe 1t does not seem
likely that the present rate of increase
can continue for many centuries to
come.
That part Of Great Britain occupied
by England is now the most densely
peopled region in Europe. The crowd.
ing of so many millions together is at
last having the effect of diminishing
the birth rate. Statistics show that it
has declined one-fourth in the last %
years. If this goes on it will not be
very long time before the English
birth rate is as small as that of
France.
In some parts of Germany, as in
Berlin and the region around it, the
birth rate is declining, but in most of
the empire it still appears to be hold
ing it's own.

MIX FOR RHEUMATISM

The following is never failing rem
edy for rheumatism, and if followed
up it will effect complete cure of
the very worst cases: mix one-half
pint of good whiskey with one ounce
of Toris Compound and add one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
