A. STRANGE WEBBING.
Russian Jews Believed They Could
Ward Off the Influenza Epidemic,
With the hope of protecting the
orthodox Russian Jews in Philadelph-
ia frons further ravages of the influen-
za epidemic two Hebrelt-e were mar-
ried at the first line of graves in the
Jewish cemetery a few months ago.
More than twelve hundred Russian
Jews watched the rabbi perform the
wedding ceremony.
When the couple were Pronoune

spectators filed solemnly past th
couple and made them presents
money in suns ranging tram ten cents
to a hundred dollars, according to th
means and circumstances of th
donor,. until more than our' tbousan
dollars had been given.
After the last offering t''a bride an
bridegroom walked to the greenswar
farther front the graves, where a we
ding feast was quickly spread Yvon

the two truckloads of food that other
of the faithful had provided.
The marriage in a cemetery, wit
the Idea of warding off the ravages c
so epidemic, is a revival of a custom
that has prevailed for hundreds of
years among the Jews in the heart o
Russia. When Russia was swept b
cholera several centuries ago Jew

T V 'uy Shoes"
HERE are many things which you need not buy
unless you choose. But footwear is not one of
them. You must have shoes. And the problem of
buying shoes is one which comes home to every man
and every woman in Canada.
In order to help you solve this problem, we have prepared a booklet
with the title given above. We believe that you will find it helpful
and interesting, whether you buy A.H.M. Shoes or not. And it is
not necessary to buy A.H.M. Shoes in order to profit by the
information which is contained in it.
We are glad to send a copy with our compliments to any address in
Canada. Please send your,request to our Head Office, at Montreal.

So they asked a young man and a
woman, who were unknown to each
other and who were without wealth to
marry in order to save their fellows
from the cholera scourge. The young
people agreed, and the ceremony was
performed. According to this. tradition
the ravages of the cholera subsided
within three days.
MARVELLOUS BIBLES.
Four Wonderful Copies of the Scrip-
tures Are Here Described.
The largest Bible in existence is in
the Royal Library at Stockholm. The
covers are made of solid planks, four
inches thick, and the pages each
measure a yard in length, It is esti-
mated that a hundred asses' skins
must have been used to furnish the
309 parchment leaves of this colossal
book, It is considered priceless.
A well-to-do New Yorker is the
proud possessor of a manuscript Bible
written by his only son, a cripple. He
could only work about two hours a
day, BO he took over two years tocom-
plete his task. It does not contain a
single error or slip, for if error or slip
occurred the youth discarded the
whole page. The verses and headings
are all in red ink, and the whole is
beautifully written.
In a house in Grafton Street, Lon-
don, there is a shorthand Bible which
Was written at least two centuries be-
fore Pitman was ,born. It was written
by an apprentice in the days of James
Il„ when to possess' a "common or
garden Bible” Was rather dangerous.
A lady in the United States cherish-
es a Bible probably as old as the one
written in shorthand, which an ances-
tress baked in a loaf of bread when a
house-to-house search was going to be
made for stray copies of the Scrip-
tures. The soldiers came to search
the house, but it is not a matter of
Wonder that they failed to find the
book, which now, looking pretty old,

Iwlucity;
numerous safety-valves—the ride on
horseback, the drives to markets and
fairs, the day's shooting, and the aI-
most continuous life in the open air.
Our bodies are the most perfect, and
the most delicate, of all pieces of
mechanism, yet we take less care to
adjust and repair them for regular
action than we take for the machines
we construct. We cram them with the
wrong foods, or we fill them too full;
we abuse them, and refuse to deny
ourselves.
We attend to our horses and cattle
more carefully than we attend to our-
selves, and attribute disease to any
cause but the right one -self inflic-
tion, Thus lives are wasted at sixty
which• ought to have been twenty
years longer, while the average dying
age of forty-three ought to be seventy,
Life depends, too, not only upon the
temperate habits, but upon its being
lived with 'a purpose—and that fur-
,pose a gpod one.
Pure airis the first condition of life,
yet most people ignore it, or'place it
second to comfort, by closing 'their
windows at night. The sedentary
worker, like the manual worker in an
impure atmosphere, must make up his
loss by passing abundance of pure air
through the lungs.
He will inhale five times more air at
a pace of four miles an hour than
when sitting at his desk, and every
muscle should be regularly exercised.
If a healthy man learns and obeys
the laws of health, he will remain
healthy until he is worn out. Thus he
must esteem at their proper value pure
air, exercise, temperance in eating and
drinking, and the intriduction of use-
fulness and"contentment into his daily
life.
The Goddess of the Wood.
E'en dearer than the thought of Spring
When Wintry frosts gleam cold,
Is this glad light of Spring herself
That doth the earth enfold.
No radiant dream of paradise,
Were half so wondrous fair,
As yonder low new leafing beech—
The sunbeams in her hair.
I think the great sun worships her,
For as he smiles above
Among her frail, translucent leaves.
He lap his gifts of love.
A tree no more for sun -adored
The beech, as goddess pale,
Enshrined within the quiet wood,
Unfolds her mystic veil.

Because style decrees that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain.' Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freesone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from onear's feet.
This dug is an ether compound and
dries in moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without Inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your

Still the lady was not satisfied.

"They have a tendency to get wider

"Well, madam," retorted the exas-
perated assistant politely, "didn't

A certain rich litigant (said Lord

pronounced.
A few hours later his lawyer wired
him as follows:
"Right has triumphed."
The rich litigant wired back:
"Appeal at once."
