St- Anthony's Day in Koine- Many traditional feasts have been dropped in Rome, togeth er with processions and cos tumes, but the blessing of horses on St. Anthony's day still takes place, says the London Daily Graphic. In times gone by this was a great feast indeed. No one who owned either horse, cow or pig allowed the day to pass without taking the beloved animal, gayly decked with ribbons and flowers, to receive a blessing from the good-natured' priest, who sprink led the holy water outside the church, murmuring the tradi tional words as he did so. Though the time is past when a Roman, prince would drive to St.Eusebio's Church with twen ty horses in hand, and the fat pigs would crowd in hundreds near the "Scahnata of the church, yet every year, and this year in particular, those who happened to go there on St. Anthony's day have been amused to see not only the hum ble woman of the people, but the aristocratic English lady who has brought her pet dog inside the church. Here a ta ble has been kept ready for small animals to be blessed by the priest. Grip's Eavages Doomed. So much misery and so many deaths have been caused by the Grip, that every one should know what a wonderful remedy for this malady is found in Dr. Kipg s .New Discovery.

Price 50cts, and $1.00. Money back if not cured. A trial bottle free at McKay Bros. & Skin ner's Drug Store. fJTO Eontk' SifBfttu of A rThi Kind Yon Kail Atajs Ett Wi!l Live Among Lepers. For years Father Conrardy nas been looking for the very worst place on earth, and now at last he has found it, says the New York Herald. Many may inmK tnat no more loathsome place can be found than the le per colony in the Hawaiian Is lands, in which Father Conrar dy hasheen working for the last eight years, but they are mista ken. An infinitely worse place is the leper colony in the prov ince of Canton, China, and pre cisely because it is so unspeaka bly vile this good priest has re solved to spend his remaining days there, doing what good he can to the host of unfortunates who are slowly perishing. There are sixty thousand lep ers in the province of Canton, and they never saw a white man until Father Conrardy visited them, two years ago. Father Conrardy, who is now in Portland, Ore., where he is eagerly studying medicine and surgery, is well equipped for this work. He has been all over the world, and for fourteen years he labored among the American Indians, and his last eight years have been spent among the lepers at Molokai. He well knows, therefore, the fearful life before him, and yet he does not flinch. When the priest told the American Minister to China that he desired to visit the leper colony that gentleman was nat urally surprised. -" "It is impossible for you to go there" he said, 'as no white man has over lived among them You would be committing sui cide if you carried out such a plan." Father Conrardy, however, would not be thwarted, and fin ally the minister gave way. irst, however, he brought the matters to the attention of the German, French and English Consuls, and he did everything else that was possible to protect the fearless priest's life. That Father Conrardy will be able to render immense servi ces to the canton lepers can readily be seen. In a few months he will be a trained phy sician knows xo. what extent the terrible curse of leprosy can be alleviated by a use of science and of medicine. He Fooled The Sureeons- All doctors told ReniclcHam ilton, of West Jefferson, 0 af ter suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die un less a costly operation was per formed ; but he cured himself with five boxes Bucklen's Arni ca Salve, the Surest Pile cure on Earth, and the best Salve in the World. 25 cents a box. Sold by McKay Bros. & Skin ner, Druggists. A Romanes of Sois- A story is told of an old bach elor who bought a pair of socks, and found attached to'Jone of them a slip of paper with these words : "I am a young lady of 20 and would like to correspond with a bachelor with a view of matrimony." Name and address were given. The bach elor wrote, and in a few days got this letter : "Mama was married 20 years ago. . The merchant you bought those socks from evidently did not advertise or he would have sold them long ago. Mama handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit you. I am 18 years old." Ex. It seems that the legislature, especially the House, is opposed to the reduction of salaries and feps of State and county offi cers. Several bills looking to this end have been defeated in the House. 'Tis true that many fees and salaries could be cut some and still leave good pay for the officer. If we, remem ber aright among the first bills passed by this House was one to cut the salary of clerks of the General Asssembly from $5 to $4 per day. This was right and could even have made less . .. . .1 Eeceived by . a Druggist. Here are some orders recent ly received by a druggist in a neighboring city : "This child is my little girl. I send you five cents to buy two sitless' powders for a groan up adult who is sike.1 "Dear Dochter, pleas gif bearer five sense worse of Auntie Toxyn for to gargle babys throat and obleage.' You will pleas give the lettle boi five cents worth of epecac for to throw up in a five months' old babe. N. B. The babe has a sore stummick." ' I have a cute pain in my child's diagram. Please give my son something to release it." "My little babey has eat up its father's parish plasther. Send an antedote quick as pos sible by the enclosed girl," "I haf a hot time in my in- sides and wich I wood like it to be extinguished it. t The en closed money is for the extin gnisher. Hurry Pleas." New York Tribune, Made of Georgia Material. Little Rhode Island is build ing a new State Hou;o at Prov idence, and it is to be a. splendid specimen of architecture, says the Savannah News. Its dome will be an exact model of the dome of the famous and beauti ful Taj Mahal, at Agra, India, and it is to be built.like that grandest of architectural tri umphs, wholly of beautiful white marble andiwhat is of still more interest, of Geor gia marble. In fact,; the entire building," both superstructure and dome, is to be of Georgia marble . With thejsingle excep tion of the Taj Mahal's marble roof, the dome of Rhode Island's new capitol building will be the largest cl6me built wholly of knarble in the world. It will be the only one of any importance in this country. And every cubic inch of the material util ized in its construction will bo Georgia marble from the quar ries of the Southern Marble Company, in Pickens County. Better Than Coal. The Journal of Geology is au thority for the statement that a new mineral has recently been discovered which as a fuel is far superior to coal. The sub stance, which is of a lustrous black color, is found on the island, of Barbadoes, and is called by the natives "manjak." It isXthought that manjak is petrified petroleum, great quan tities of petroleum being found on the same island. It con tains only Wo per cent, of wa ter and fullyx 27 per cent, of solid organic matter, thus sur passing in utility the best asphalt of Triniaad, in which 30 per cent, of water is con tained, and which has been classed' so far .as the very finest fuel.
