PECULIAR WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
Breton Peasants Ascrlbe Miraculous
Powers to Odd Continuance.

In the village church Of Comfort
(near Pont- Croix), in western Brit
tany, is a very good specimen OF the
now rare wheel of fortune" 1t is

its outer. rim and pivoted be-
tween couple of rough beams

ship. BY means of cord attached to
crank the wheels can be made to re-
volve and set all the bells a-jangling.
/ have often heard that the peasants
believe that 1t has miraculous power
of healing when run over the head OF
a sufferer who has placed sou in the
box to which the rope is padlocked. I
received remarkable confirmation Of
this belief, for while making photo
graph a well-to-do sailors wife and
her husband came into the church and
looked round. The woman asked me
II I thought there could be any truth
in this belief as her child was very
backward in learning to talk. Her
nurse, who came from those parts, had
advised her to bring the baby and
ring the bells of Comfort over his
head, when he would be sure to talk.
AS she was passing she had looked In
to see If 1t was worth trying!
