Cures at Welsh Holy WeIl.-The
feast of IS. Peter and Paul at Holy
well, Wales, is reported to have been
marked by two remarkable cures at
st. Winefrides Well. In one case
little girl of six years of age is said
to have been cured of an affection of
the eyes by bathing in the well. She
is the daughter of Mr.. W. Barrett, of
8 Albert street, Bolton. The second
case was even more remarkable. A
party of girls from Pantasaph Convent
school went down to the well to battle,
among them crippled girl of thirteen
named Nellie Nugent, an orphan, or
iginally from Liverpool, and until
about year ago of the Leyfield Home,
Liverpool. This girl could walk with
difficulty when supported by an ar
rangement of an iron frame running
from her waist to her heel. She had
fall when two years old, and was
bedridden until eight years Of age.
When taken to the we'll she was
dipped in the water by an attendant,
and directly afterwards she said, 81
think l can walk" The attendant ad-
vised her to try, and the attempt was
successful. The irons were discarded,
and the girl walked around the bath,
to the great surprise of her compan-
ions from the orphanage and of many
visitors bathing at the time. After
wards she walked upto the Well Hill
to st. Winefride's Hospice, and after
returning to Pantasaph she went
about the orphanage and the grounds
with the older children.

A Queens Good ExampIe.-For
many years it has been the practice
of the court of Holland to receive fiji
teen copies weekly of the great Liber
al organ of the ow Countries, the
, "Nieuwer Rottert ammer Consent
Queen Wilhelmina has now given or
ders that this journal is no longer to
be allowed within the palace. The
reason is that several times recently
in it's columns the divinity of Christ
has been attacked in a most cynical
manner. The Queen has caused the
editor of the paper to be Informed
that she will not tolerate at court a
journal which thus wounds the most
sacred Christian sentiments. Her
Majesty thus sets very excellent
example to all her subjects in regard
to the anti-religious press.
