SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES
Dozen Inhabitants In One; In Another
Only Two Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains a number Of par
ishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance. Upper Eldon. near
Stockbridge, consists Of two houses,
which with an eleventh century church
and a tiny Gods Acre" in the middle
OF a farmyard adjoining one OF the
dwellings. comprise the whole parish
Not much larger is the population Of
L~ullington, hve miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only IS feet square
It is quite large enough for the inhab
ftants.
In Grove near Lighton Ruzzard,
there are only about a dozen inhabi-
tants, the parish containing a modern
farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny
church. At Rhyd, in F1intshire. while
there are only three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
n ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses, one Of which still
remains-Tit-Bits.

Really /, Compliment.

Aaron Bancroft. the father of the
historian, was a Massachusetts clergy
man who revolted against the Calvin
ism of the day. The young minister
found himself held at arms length by
the surrounding clergy. In The Life
and Letters of George Bancroft" Mr..
NJ. A. Dew. Howe quotes the follow
ing item from the old minister's
Memoranda"
An honest but not very intelligent
farmer of my parish some ten years
ago ~accosted me in this
"Well, Mr.. Bancroft, what do you
think the people Of the old parish say
of you now?"
1 answered, Il hope something very
good"
"They say: If we find fault with him
he does not mind 1t at all, and IL we
praise him he does not mind it, but
keeps steadily on his own way. We
therefore have concluded that 1t is
best TO let him alone"
The farmer mentioned the fact as a
subject of laughter. but l thought and
still think that. taking the declaration
in its bearings. 1t was the prettiesi

In the weeks that followed Katherine

not at all surprised when one day the

Life In the Country.

In the country every morning of the
year brings with 1t a new aspect of
springing or fading nature. a new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and a new
promise or warning in heaven. No
day is without its innocent hope. its
special prudence. its kindly gift and Its
sublime danger, and In every process
Of wise husbandry and every effort Of
contending or remedial courage the
wholesome passions, pride and bodily
power of the laborer are excited and
exerted In happiest unison. The COM
panionship of domestic and the car Of
~serviceable animals soften and enlarge
his life with lowly charities and disci-
pine him in familiar wisdom and I'M
boastful fortitudes. while the divine

coveting OF his heart into labor too
submissive to be anxious and rest too
sweet to be wanton.-John RuSkin.

Women Who Are Bnvied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be
like them. A weak, sickly woman
will be nervous and irritable. Con.
stipation or kidney poisons show in
pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and
a wretched complexion. For al
such, Electric Bitters work wonders.
They regulate stomach, liver and
kidneys, purify the blood; give
strong nerves, bright eyes, pure
breath, smooth, velvety skin, lovely
complexion. Many charming women
owe their health and beauty to them.

She was one woman in a thousand.

Of color that betokened perfect health.
In fashionable drawing rooms she

Katherine Roberts had some very de-

that she wished to be a successful ply

She had taken the ambulance run

kOdOl
For Dyspepsia and Indigestion
If you Suffer from Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas on
the Stomach, Belchine, Sour Stomach, Heartburn,
etc, a little Kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why2 Because Kodol does the
same work as a strong stomach, and
does it in a natural way.
