To-day is Ash Wednesday, the first day
of'lent,called by the fathers ot the church
caput jrjunii, the beginning of the fast, or
dies cinerum, ash day, in allusion to the
custom of sprinkling the head with ashes.
The use of ashes is omited by those bran-
ches of Protestantism revhich retain any
observance of Ash Wednesday. In the
Anglican church the maledictions de-
nounced against impenitent sinners are
read that day at the end of which the peo-
ple all repeat “Amen.”

Arousing its Readers.
An alarm ol fire at midnight is a start-
ling thing, but not half so startling to
many who hear it as would be the sudden
knowledge of their own dangerous physi-
cal condition. Thousands of thousands
are hurrying to their graves because they
are carelessly indifferent to the insidious
inroads ot disease and the means of cure.
It is the mission of H. H. Warner & Co.,
with their Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, to
arouse men to a sense of their danger and
cure them.—Memphis Appeal.
