A Religious Affair.

“There was a very sad case in police court this morning,” said a lawyer to his wife. “A girl was arrested for stealing a fine lace veil. The woman who owned the veil came to court, and, with heartlessness, persisted in prosecuting the poor girl. The -fudge, however, would not allow himself to be influenced, so he released the girl.” “She did not prove that she was innocent, did she ?” “Oh, no.” “Then why did the Judge release her ?” “Well, he said that he had no right to interfere with religious matters.” “Religious matters?” “Yes; he said that the laws of the land grant to every woman the right to take the veil.” The woman did not reply for several minutes. Then she said: “I know a woman who married a fool. I’m the woman.” —Arkansaw Traveler. For thirty years Ur. C. Fawcett has been physician of the Union Protestant Infirmary, Bakimore, Md., and his published opinion is that he has used Bed Star Cough Cure most effectually in curing obstinate coughs and in treating consumption. Price, 25cents. Water forms of man twenty-five per cent, of the bones, seventy-five per cent, of the muscles, eighty per cent, of the bood, and eiglity-live per cent, of the gray substance of the brain. Thus the highest functional organ comes near to being merely organized water. Much is being written of late of the advisability of drinking considerable water, to afford new supplies and to keep things moving—that is, the secretions active. — Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.
