Buried in the heart of civilized.

lived for 800 years and have con-

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

Probably few people knew thai TINS
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 Goods Acre" in the middle
of a farmyard adjoining one of the
dwellings, comprise the whole parish
Not much larger is the population or
darlington, five miles from Eastbourne
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 1G feet square
1t is quite large enough for the inhab'
itants.
In Grove near Lighton Blizzard.
there are only about dozen inaapl
tants, the parish containing modern
farmhouse, two cottages and tiny
church. At Rhyd. in Flintshire. while
there are only three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses. one of which still
remains.-Tit-Bits.

Blindness.

There are various degrees and
kinds of blindness, widow. There Is
the connubial blindness, ma'am. which
perhaps you may have observed in the
course Of your own experience, and
which is kind of willful and self-dam-
aging blindness. There is the blind
ness of party, n1a'am, and public men,
which is, the blindness Of a mad bull
in the midst of regiment of soldiers
clothed in red. There is the blind con.
fidence of youth, which is the blind
ness Of young kittens, whose eyes
have not yet opened on the world

A COMMON COLD.
We claim that if catching cold could
be avoided some of the most danger
Gus and fatal diseases would never be
heard of. A cold often forms a cul-
ture bed for germs of infectious dis
eases. Consumption, pneumonia,
diphtheria and scaret fever, four of the
most dangerous and fatal diseases,
are of this class. The culture bed
formed by the cold favors the devel-
opment of the germs of these diseases,
that would not otherwise find lodg-
ment. There is little danger, however,
Of any of t hese diseases being con-
tracted when a good expectorant cough
medicine like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t cleans out these
culture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs of these diseases:
That is why this remedy has proved
so universally successful in preventing
pneumonia. It not only cures your
cold quickly, but minimizes the risk
of contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by all druggists.
