CHARMS THAT CURE.
Curious Health Superstition Current
In Old Land.
One svould almost think that the
supe:stitious age had passed, but the
many races of mankind that we now
harbor in England have, probably,
been partially responsible for a revival
in health charms and amulets, says
London, Answers.
The Belgians have introduced a
very queer remedy for the relief of
rheumatism to our British chemist.
Wear a little strip of catskin 'neath
your coat and, so says the Belgian,
you will become immune from gout
or rheumatic pains. Flints for gout
and bones for neuritis are among their
"health cures."
A well-known Old English remedy for rheumatism is to carry a raw
potato in your pocket, but this letter
belief really has something to be said
' in its favor, for the potato plant cont -
tains properties which are distinctly
beneficial to man, and these benefits
can be absorbed through the skin.
Even the rich do not- escape the
i fascii)ation of health charms. At the
Ihigh-class chemist's shops in London
one may buy sealed bottles of meroury i
in dainty wash -leather cases as "tures t for rheumatism."
Blue bonds, not for personal adorn -
mein, but to ward off bronchitis, are
seer. on many a pretty girl.
Brut perhaps, of all health supersti t
tions, the acorn theory is the most
1 amusing and incredulous, An acorn
belt, so a customer was solemnly as- d
sured the other day, would protect him
1 from attacks of indigestion and the b
!like! It was to be worn next to the a
'skin, round the waist.

I put to the test is not recorded.

WHY FLAGS ARE CREMATED.
Destroyed or Interre- d to .Avoid An
Ignominious End.
Regimental flags are sometimes
cremated. The ceremony is perform-
ed with great pomp and circumstance,
and the jtsbes are afterwards pre-
served with the most Scrupulous care
in a box.
They are sometimes buried, too—
and buried with full military honors.
This fate has befallen sets belonging
to—among others --the King's Own
Scottish Borderers and the 2nd Bat-
talion Worcestershire Regiment, says
-London Answers.
Why these cremations and burials?
The reason is not far to seek. Britain
is the only country in the world which
permits its historical flags to find
their way to the "pop -shop," or the
auction -room; and flags are 110n -
sequently occasionally destroyed or'in-
terred in order that they may avoid
this ignominious end.
Settle time ago the lot Battalion
Gloucestershire Regiment recovered
from a pawnbroker in far -distant
York no fewer than four flags, whish
t had borne with great honor and dis-
inetion for fifteen years through the
Egyptian and Peninsular campaigns.
And if you should chance to visit the
parish church at Kendal, yoti will
here find a pair of the old colors of
he and Battalion Border Regiment.
They were rescued by Lord Archibald
Campbell from an upholsterer in Len-
on, who had put them up for sale
with no more respect than he would
ave had for a pair of old window-
urtains.
But even this fate is preferable to
that which 'befell a flag which for
three years waved above the 39th Foot
