Ri Pranks of Scottish Fairies. Belief in the “Fair Lingers A Firm Folks” Still There still lingers a whispered be- lief in the north of Scotland that the “fair foik” or ‘“‘gweed neebors,” as the fairies are called, still live in the hills, and during the first days of convales- cence a mother must be zealously guarded lest one of the “wee people” come and rob the child of 1ts nourish- ment. Sometimes they succeed in carrying off the mother. Here is one of the superstitious legends : A vorth country fisher had a fine child. One evening a beggar woman entered the hut and went up to the cradle to gaze into the eyes of the babe. From that time good health left it, and a strange look came into ite face, and the mother was troubled. An old man « begging for food passed that way. When he caught sight of the chlld, he cried : “That’s nae a bairn. It's an image, and the gweed folk has stolen his speerit.”’ Thereupon he set to work to recall the fisher's bairn. A peat fire was heaped high on the hearth and a black hen held over itat such a distance that it was singed and not killed. After some struggling the hen escaped up the lane. A few moments elapsed, and then the parents were gladdened by the sight of a happy expression once more on the child’s face. It throve from that day forward.—Scot- tish Review. About Girls. “Girls,” remarked the small boy in his composition upon the subject, ‘is of several thousand kinds, and some- times one girl can behave like: several thousand girle. Some kinds of girls is better than some other kinds, but they ain’t any of them up to boys. This is all I koow about girls, and farther says the less I know about them the better.”—New York Advertiser.

( : RAVEL CURED (Philadelphia, Penp., Item.) A healthier, heartier, happier man than John!J. Neill, of 2437 North Eighth street Philadelphia, could not be found in a day's search. The fact that he is still alive is a con- stant wonder to his friends. In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer indes- crible miseries from stone in the bladder. Consulting an eminent physician in Philadel- phia, he was told thata surgical operation was necessary. So much did he dread the result, for if unsnccesstul it meant death, that he put off the evil day as long as possible, While in this frame of mind, he heard of : DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY Although disheartened, on July 1, 1893, he bought a bottle of 1t, and within a month had experienced beneficial results, and before he had finished the third bottle, the gravel was completely dissolved and his sufferings at an end. Mr. Neill feels that he owes a lasting debt of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and for disorders of the bladder and urinary organs, says “it will eftect a cure if one be pos- sible.” Favorite Remedy is prescribed with unfail- ing succes: for rheumatism, dyspepsia and nerve troubles in which it has cured many that were considered beyond the aid of medi- cine.
