An ancais in given up in need warded a e Frencu Buperstitions About Eggs. The ancient Finns believe that a mystic bird laid an egg on the lap of Vaimainon, who was to hatch it in his bosom. But he let it fall and it broke, the lower portion of the shell forming the earth, the upper the sky, the liquid white became the moon, and the yelk the sun, while the little fragments of broken shell were trans- formed into stars. Tnglish and Irish mothers tell their children to push their spoons through the bottoms of egg shells after finishing their meal, ‘or else the witches will make boats of them.” In France a similar cus- tom prevails, but the reason assigned is that the magicians formerly used egg shells in concocting their dia- bolical witcheries. There are in foreign lands, American missionaries, their wives and assistants to the following number: Presbyterians, 1817; Baptists, 1860; Congregationalists, 2980; Methodists, 3783. ¥ree Trip to Chicago.

One Hundred Miles of Cars to be Unloaded. Jackson Park, Chicago, certainly presents one of the busiest scenes on this earth of ours. Wherever one looks scores and scores of men are working like bees, trains are being moved. steam is hissing. and the sound of every implement of industry falls apon the ear. The Machinery and Manu- factures buildings are possibly the scenes of the most active work. In the first, almost every foot is crowded with sections of ma- chinery, which men are rapidly iting to- gether. Enormous belt wheels, great shafts and pistons are lying around in such pro- fusion that one might well think it impos- sible to fit them up in machines instinct with power greater than that of a hundred thousand men. Manufacturer’s Hall is simply a chaos of huge packin g cases, most as yet unopened, but many from which the treasures of a world are being taken and placed for dis— play. The English, German and Austrian rections are the farthest under way and a look around gives glimpses of exhibits that are a hleasant foretaste of what they will be in their fullness. he great trouble is with the exhibits. Three hundred carloads are arriving dailv, while the Department of Works has only been able to handle 75 cars. As a result, it is estimated that there are 100 miles of loaded cars in Chicago waiting their turn to get into the grounds. Itis a great prob- lem to face, this unloading and placing these exhibits, but Director General Davis issued an order permitting exhibitors to hire their own teams and bring their goods into the grounds themselves. This will greatly expedite matters, for the Depart- ment of Works has been practicallly swamped. — —— eer. A POSTOFFICEATTHEFAIR. Visitors Can Now Secure Their Mail on the Grounds.

In any given district there is a constant succession of large gatherings at “Which it is not uncommon for as many as 10,- 000 persons to be congregated. The fairs are eometimes called the ‘poor man’s market” for the great display of second hand clothing which the owners wish to dispose of. At Techou and at another point on the Grand Canal there are annual fairs held from the beginning of the twelfth month to the fifteenth day of the same month, at which there is a great display of for. eign goods, especially woolens, sold at cheaper rates than at other times. This is called ‘the fair of the grain fleet, and is une of the products of the vicioussys- ‘tem of grain taxes. About 400 vessels are annually employed for transporting the Shantung grain tax to Tungchow, near Peking, and upon their return these vessels bring large quaatities of goods from Tientsin, which are sold at the fairs. ‘While some of the fairs are held at times rigidly fixed and never varied most of them are wholly uucertain as to time.—North China Herald.

Notwithstanding that a great number of people have been cured of chronic ecatarrh season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many cures, and in some cases actually prevented a care. But, after unusual delay, spring time has come at last, and now is the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin a system- atic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch ccld during the treatment, and thus delay a cure. This liability at this season of the yearis, in a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to be given treatment. Send for free catarrh book. As a spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a never- failing remedy. It cleanses the blood through digestion, and gives tone to the whole system by increasing the nutritive value of the food. ‘‘Spring fever,”’ asit is sometimes called, which produces a tired- out, sleepy feeling.and inability to do much mental or physical work, is the result ofa sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine will be of any use whatever unless itis able to rectify the impaired digestion. The great popularity that Pe-ru-na has is due to the fact that in all such cases it at once corrects digestive derangements and enriches the blood by purifying this very important source of that vital fluid.
