Curlona Methods That Were Adopted In Sickneas and Death. A method much in vogue iu Scotland at one time of ascertaining whether a sickness would prove fatal was to dig two holes In the ground, one called the quick grave, the other the dead hole. The sufferer was then placed between the two,And the hole townrd which he turned Indicated what would be the outcome of his malady. Sometimes a piece of rock was broken over the bead of a person whose last agonies were painful alike to himself and to those who witnessed them. It was believed that the heart of the sick man would thus be broken and Ills release hasten ed. Windows and doors are always .thrown wide open in order that the de parting spirit may have free egress from the house and escape from the evil ones that hover around eager to Inthrall his soul. During the interval between death and burial hens and cats were kept carefully shut up. A person meeting these animals at such a juncture was doomed to blindness In the future. Moreover, unless a strenro divided the two houses, farmers frequently refrain ed from yoking their oxen or horses be fore the body was "laid under the turf of truth.” Many women preserved, with the greatest reverence, tbelr bridal attire to cover them In the cof fin. Bread and water were placed in the chamber of death, for during the night prior to the burial the spirit of the departed one came to partake of them. Stillborn children and little ones who had not been blessed by the min ister were burled before sunrise. In this way their admission to the land of promise was assured. Not to observe the practice was to destine, the souls of these bairns to wander homeless and disconsolate. The fnto of the suicide Is lamentable. His body cannot rest In the kirkyard, for It would taint the souls of thos? who lie therein. Frequently he was burled in a lone dike which separated two lairds’ estates, and passersby were expected to cast a pebble at the rude stone which marked the place! • •dlty today. Mr. S. L; Bowen, of Wayne, W. Va., writes: "I was a sufferer from kidney disease, so that at times I could not get out of bed, and when I did I could not stand straight. I took Foley’s Kid ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me entirely.” Foley's Kidney Cure works wonders where others are total failures. For sale by Hilsman-Sa'e Drug Co.

CURIOUS FISH. They l(et[i Their Eagn In Natural PoekctH In Their Months. In the sea of Galilee, or Lake Tibe rias, as It Is also called, there.. Is a Btrange fish named the Cliromis slmc*- nls, which Is more careful of its young than fish generally are. The male takes the eggs In his mouth und keeps them In his natural side pockets, where (hey arc regularly hatched and remain until able to shift for themselves; By Uds Ingenious ( arrangement the brood Is comparatively guarded against Its natural enemies. It is easily fed, too, but It Is n puzzle how the little ones escape being eftteu alive. Awhile ago, says u traveler writing to a religious contemporary, 1 found iu my net a number of these fish without eyes. Others of the species, when 1 lifted them up, dropped n number of little fishes out of their mouths,’ which swam nway hastily. The uatlves explained the phenomenon. The blind cliromis Is the victim of sea hawks. When these birds have eaten their fill they begin to look ont for tidbits. After catching a fish they hit Its forehead with their sharp beak, knocking out the middle pnrt, In which their eyes are set. The bony structure Is dropped Into the water, but the eyes are eaten by the birds with great relish. Strangely enough, the fish generally survive this rough treatment The wound heals <up quickly lu water, and they continue to ply the lake for food as If nothing had happened.—Loudon Standard. Several people in the rain at tlie park were foolish enough to reek shel ter from the elements undfr he stand.
