CURIOSITlES OF MARRIAGE.

The joining or right hands in ancient
times had the solemnity and validity of
an oath
There is story of a man who got mar
ried because he inherited four-post bed
stead.
Giving a ring is supposed to indicate the
eternity of the union, seeing that circle
is endless.
A man got married because he had
bought piece of silk cheap at sale and
wanted wife to give it to.
Under the Roman empire marriage was
simply civil contract; hence we read of
men quitting away" their wives.
Among the Jews the rule was for
maiden to marry on The fourth and q
widow on the fifth day of the week-not
earlier.
In Jewish marriages the woman is set
on the right, but throughout Chrlsten-
dom her place in the ceremony is on the
left.
In a Roman marriage the bride was
purchased by the bridegroom IS payment
of three pieces of copper money to her
parents.
The Russians have story of widow
who was so inconSolable for the loss of
her husband that she took another to
keep her from fretting herself to death.
The custom of putting the veil upon
the maid before the bethrotbal was done
to conceal her bushes at the first touch
of the man 5 hand and at the closing
kiss.
kissing the bride the moment the mar
riage ceremonial ended, though not now
prescribed by the rubric of the Western
churches, formerly was an imperative
act on the part of the bridegroom.
The early marriage ceremony among
the Anglo-Saxons consisted merely of
hand fastening, or taking each other by
the hand and pledging each other love
and affection in the presence of friends
and relatives.
An old adage thus lays down the proper
days for wedlock:
Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health,
Wednesday for the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses, Satur-
day no luck at all.

TELEGRAPH IMPROVEMENTS.
The Western Union Finds it Necessary to
Spread Out in Fort Worth

The Western Union Finds it Necessary to
Spread Out in Fort Worth
Nothing, probably, shows the wonder
full growth of Fort Worth in such a
marked degree as the continued and
rapid improvements made by the Western
Union telegraph company in this
city. 1t was not long ago that several
new instruments, new switch boards new
poles and lines were put IN, but so rapid
has been the increase Of the business done
\ here that the company again finds
it necessary to draw on the
treasury for thousands of dollars
to defray the expenses of extensive inn
provements decided on. Several weeks
ago the superintendent, the assistant SUI
perintendent and the chief of the con-
struction department visited the city,
and, together with Manager Frankel,
made careful investigation of
what was needed. First they
decided that larger Office
was needed, one that should be superior
to any in Texas, and at once q lease was
obtained for termof years on the two
story building on the west side of Main
street between Second and Third. not
far from the Pacific express office.
luis DuAlNEiAS Is " DO nbLCd up
with several quadrupIex instruments, be-
sides number of simple instruments.
An immense spring jack switchboard is to
take the place of the present one, and all
conveniences for the public and the OPP
orators are to be put in. Provi-
sion has been made for
large battery room. The Office provided
for, it was next determined to change all
the poles, take the old ones out
and put in new ones OF Rnsk
street for the majority of wires,
the new poles to be much
higher than those now in use. A num-
Der of new lines of wire will be added.
Fort Worth is now a telegraph center of
no mean proportions. In u few years
main wires over the Fort Worth and
Denver, the Fort Worth and Rio Grande,
the st. Louis, Arkansas aud Texas
and the Santa Fe have been
added to the system and a considerable
amount of relay work is done here.
Manager Frankel says a force of experts
will be brought here from st. Louis and
the work of Improvement will begin at
once.

The strangest canal IN the world is
canal sixteen miles long between Wors-
ley and St. Helens, in the north of En-
gland, and is underground from end to
end Many years ago the duke of
Bridgewate r's -..caagers thought they
could save money by transporting the
coal in h is mines underground instead of
on the surface. So the canal was con-
structed, the mines connected and
drained at the same time. Ordinary
canal boats are used, but the power is
furnished by men, On the roof OF the
tunnel arch are cross-pieces, and the
men who do the work of propulsion lie on
their backs on the coal and push with
their feet against the liars on the
roof.
Some significant statistics regarding
the consumption of alcoholic liquors in
various countries are contained in the
last quarterly report of the government
bureau of statistics. AS is well known,
the consumption of beer aud malt liquors
in the United States has steadily in
creased during the last fifty years, while
that of distilled liquors has diminished
the increase in the former case being
from 1876 gallons per capita in 1910 to
y As gallons in 1888, and the decrease il
the latter being from 2 50 gallons in 1910
to l23 gallons in 1888. Comparison
with other nations shows, however, that
the United States is yet very temperate
country when viewed side by side with
England and Germany, for example.
