To Remove Cinders from Eye. A simple remedy for removing cin ders from the eye Is to dip a small and F"'fTtly clean camel's hair brush in water and pass it over the ball of the eyes. This operation requires lit tle skill and . generally removes al particles of dust Instantly withou ' danger of inflammation. Of course this remedy Is not suggested for the train, where no, one could get tl ' brush. . , j . ;v : v . ',' Some Weather Wisdom.

A German writer has Just offered theso comments on the bridal day, by w hich it may le Been that bad luck . t Inlhur tVl'lli uvie1 li1s haa tha nAlnt and1 " . . B or empnasts. According to tho Germans tho bride! must be especially careful on her wedding day not to put the left foot out of bed first for that would mean perpetual strife. It Is most necessary to see that thirteen persons do not sit down to breakfast together that day. Many ml; fortunes will befall that bride who tries tho wedding ring on tho proper finger before the wedding; this is considered an anticipation of I fate and fate Is not to be to caught. lit is even possible that In such cases I the -wedding may fall at the last ruo i ment. In fact some brides think It a bad sign If tho bridegroom even ( show them tho ring before the wed ! ding. When the bride puts on the wed , ding dress she must be very careful not to rip or tear it not evcti a bit I of lace, nor should she pick-up any , thing on it for this, too, la a bad ! sign. If, however, anything be torn , It should not bo sewn for each etitch brings tears and misfortunes. In English society bits of court plas ter are used for such emergencies; The bride should admire her dress before the wedding day, for If It U completed and she look In tho mir ror on her wedding day each glance means misfortune. It Is an awful sign for tho bride to look back over her shoulder, for this is a sign that she looks back to the past with a heavy heart, and does not look to the future with Joy. If she should see herself .n the mirror when thus looking back, all luck Is gone from this wedding. This refers of course, to an acci dental look backward. If the bride ia In her carriago and any one calls to her, she must on no condition look backward. Before her wedding no bride who hopes for good luck 6hou!d weep crying la permitted only after the ceremony. A mother who embraces her daughter and, weeping, makes her weep, calls down misfortune upon her child. Ix ii'uus wmj n;uu n-it-g i a 1110 iw a bride should so time them that they arrive ony after the ceremony, for misfortune comes with premature congratulations. Hundreds of tele grams afterward can do no harm but a single one too soon Is bad luck. Under no circumstances should the bridal bouquet be forgotten, for this Is of evil omen. It is a bad sign too If the bridegroom Is late. If the bride drops her bouquets Its is well to aandon the wedding if luck Is considered. It is remarkable how far bridal superstition goes. It ' extends even to tho wedding presents. Some think it ill luck to receive any pres ents that cut, and yet many send fish knives, fruit and dinner knives. Few consider how many tears thesa well meant presents cause the bride, who especially at this time s hrlnki fro mthe last portent of evil.

MATURES PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE t The preservation of health and prevention against disease is almost entirely dependent utron pure, healthy blood ; every org-an, tissue, nerve and sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength. Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get into the blood, and then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and disease, instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise an important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are born with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous forms is 6ure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood are responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin eruptions. . All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none other equals S. S. S. It goes down to the very foundation of the trouble, and removes v every particle of the poison or impurity from the blood. And not only does S. S. S. antidote the poisons, humors and germs, but it possesses health-giving, tonic properties, which build up and strengthen weak, impov erished blood, and fortifies the system against disease 7 S. S. S. permanently cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcera, Scrofula, Kczema, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and disorders. Book ou the blood and any medical advice free.
