dent-Relections of an Historical
and Economic Nature.

The following is a synopsis of the grafton
delivered by Hon. Chauncey M Depew,
Ii D., at the Centennial of the Inaugural
ton of George Washington, first Pres
ident of the United States, from the steps
of the Treasury Building, New York, April
80 1889:
We celebrate to-day the Centenary of our
Nationality One hundred years ago the
United States began their existence. The
powers of government were assumed by the
people OF the Republic, and they became
the sole source of authority. The solemn
ceremonial of the first Inauguration, the
reverend oath of Washington, the acclaim
of the multitude greeting their President
marked the most unique event of
modern times in the development of free
institutions. The occasion wa, not an
accident, but result 1t was the
elimination of the working out by mighty
forces through many centuries of
the problem of self-government. 1t was
not the triumph of system, the applica-

QUEER BIRD NESTS.
The Strange Places Sometimes selected By
Feathered Home Builders.

The Strange Places Sometimes Selected By
Feathered Home-Builders.
Birds have some queer fancies in Sc
lecting spots for building their nests.
Some time ago, near Seaville. n. j., l
noticed in grove of oaks that nearly
every tree had an old tin can nailed up
in it. I found, on examination, that
the cans were all occupied by wrens and
bluebirds. But what attracted my at
tention most was an old boot fastened
in one of the trees. As l approached
it, bluebird flew out and. although it
was twenty-five feet from the ground
l climbed up and saw inside FIVE young
birds comfortably sitting in the nest.
An old gentleman once told me that
his wife, on a certain wash-day. missed
a lace cap that she had hung out on
the line and fastened with clothes
pin. Several days afterwards. when
walking in his garden, he noticed
something white fluttering in the
branches of a cherry tree. and an ex-
animation showed that pair OF rob
ms had taken the cap from the liue
and fastened it among the twigs and
grass of their nest. The birds had
undoubtedly pulled the cap from be.
tween the prongs of the clothes-pin.
for they could not otherwise have OBJ
tanned It. They were left in undls-
turbed possession of their prize.
In st. Thomas, Ont. Canada. several
nests of wrens were found inside street
gas-lamps, where, during the night. q
bright light was always burning. but
they seemed in no wise disturbed by
it-Charles s. Shick. in St Paul Globe.

Purity Of W eddlng Rings.


What is wedding ring? 1t is a pledge
of affection-a symbol of marriages.
cherished possession. But what char
acterizes 1t? Many people have been
much surprised to learn by the decision
in recent case that there is some legal
standard of purity for a wedding. ring.
We all know that the usual fneness Of
a Woodworking is % carat-only two
parts of alloy being put in, that being
necessary to enable the gold to be
worked. When. the ring Is put on a
young maiden's finger, 1t is lovingly
hoped that she may live to wear it for
many years. Therefore. the gold of
which it is made is as fine as possible,
so that it may wear the same in color
and brightness all through, till the tiny
thread that hangs on the aged matron's
finger, though worn awav like her years
and her strength, is still as bright as
her honor, as pure as her tried and
tested love. Yet, for practical and SEN
timental reasons alike, wedding ring
should be of the finest gold possible.
But the jeweller who has been fined for
selling plain gold rings containing a
large proportion of alloy was, probably
as much taken by surprise as most of
the general public at the discovery that
there was any standard fneness for
wedding rings.
