Light in Colonial Times.

By a law of William aud Mary, passed
in 1890, every householder who resided
in certain parishes, or in the city of
Westminster, whose house adjoined or
was near the street, "from Aichaelmas
unto our Lady's Day yearly, shall every
night set or hang out candles or lights in
lanthorns on the outside of the house
next the street, to enlighten the same for
the conveniency of passengers, from time
to time, as it shall grow dark, until
twelve of the clock in the night, upon
the pain to forfeit the sum of two shil-
lings for every default" Arrangements
might, however, be made with two or
more Justices of the Peace for the estab-
lishment of lamps in the street at certain
intervals.
This law seems to have prompted SINH
lar legislation in the town Of New York,
in 1897, in an order requiring every sew
enth house to hang out lamp upon
pole. New York thus ante-dates all
other American towns in this respect by
nearly sixty years.
The next town in order of time, and
the first in New England, is Newport.
Here, however, street lamps were hung
cut of shop windows and houses, and
this was due to private enterprise. In
1881 the town petitioned the General
Assembly of Rhode Island to pass law
for the protection of these lamps, as will
full and malicious persons would often
break them.-NeaO England Magazine.

ORIGIN oF WEDDING Wells.

The origin of these wedding wells is
simple enough, but who of you will guess
that twas only that natural veil. her OWL
waving tresses, under which woman first
hid her bushes on the marriage day.
Thea came the Intervening of garlands
and scarfs, jewels and laces, amid these
floating locks, and little by little the
bridal veil emerged therefrom. The
veil actual, though of silk and not lace,
originated with the Hebrews, and was
made to cover not only the entire body,
but the chair upon which the bride sat.
In Nineveh custom prevailed that a
bride should be enshrouded in a thick
veil. In Babylon she was kept for three
days in a darkened room so yelled. Even
now in Turkey bride is always covered
eight days before her marriage, and in
Persia she is enwrapt in the voluminous
folds of long, flowing crimson silk veil
and placed upon arichly caparisoned horse
to be conveyed to the home of her future
husband.

The ightships are schooner strongly
built, brilliantly painted, aud with a col

distinguish them from ordinary vessels

full lights hoisted, consisting of eight or
nine lamps with reHectors arranged in

lowered to the deck into small house

fast in their position by an anchor weigh
ing nbout 5000 pounds, and carrying its

shapa. There are twenty-three of these
lightihips now in position on the coast,
and they are much used in the English
service.
In all of the States heavy fines and i'm
prisonments are meted out to those who
interfere with these aids to navigation,
and in Florida the penalty of certain

person of the transgressor is added.

The coast is divided into fifteen dis
tricts, each district having a naval officer
as inspector, who is expected to examine
all the stations in his district once every
three months, making reports to the
board monthly covering all things con-
nected with each station, furnishing to
the engineers notes Of needed repairs, and
to salaries of keepers and sup
plies OF stations. In addition, each sta
ton has an engineer, an officer OF the
army, who has charge in some cases of
two or three districts, and to whom is
confded the construction and repairs of
all fixed aids to navigation within the
circuit.

PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
rnE s1AueHrER or rnr n1Rpa.

The Japan Nail is raising an energetic
protest against the barbarious, but, IN
happily, fashionable custom of wearing
feathers aud wings of singing birds as
ornaments in hats. The writer declares
bitterly against the European mode of
dress, which is now superseding the pict-
uresque and comfortable dress of the
Japanese women, and asks if this latest
addition is to be allowed to continee.
An order has just reached Japan from
Europe for 100, 900 wings. Each wing
is bought for the small sum of five cents,
and yet there are to be found many peo-
pie who will kill the native songsters for
this petty price, to the enormous future
damage of the farmers. The Nail ap-
peals to the Government to stop this mas
sacre among the feathered tribes.
