Antiquity of a Wedding Custom

Doubtless the majority of persons think
that the custom of a bridegroom being at
tended at his marriage by friend or rela-
tive, who is popularity termed mis- best
man," is of modern origin. Nevertheless
it is of great antiquity, having been prac-
ticed by the early Saxons. In those days
marriages were invariably celebrated at
the house of the groom. The day preced-
ing such an important event was spent in
feasting and preparing for the approach
ing ceremony, all of the bridegroom's
friends and relatives taking part in the
festivities.
Next came the groom's company,
mounted on horseback and armed from
head 10 foot. They proceeded in great
state, in regular order of family procedure,
under the command OF an individual ca led
the 'fOrwistaman," or foremost man." to
receive and conduct the bride in safety to
the house of her future husband. The
blushing maiden was attended by her
guardian and other male relatives, led by A
stately matron, who bore the name of
"hrideswoman." and followed by goodly
array of young damsels, who were known
as bridesmaids. D."
1t was from this Gel emony therefore
that we of the present day derived our Gus
tom of having at weddings 'best man."
the Saxon foremost man" of ten centuries
ago being the prototype IF that almost in
dlspenSable parsonage. From the same
source also sprang those important female
attendants called bridesmaids. Detroit

ChiIdhood's Genero.ifr.

There was a pretty scene Of childlike i'm
pulsiveness in one Of the elevated railroad
cars lately. A bright faced little boy
with long golden curls and warm wraps OF
fashion sat beside his mother, very evident
ly thoroughly pleased with the world and
everybody. On the seat beside him was a
dainty box of bonbons. into which the
child's hand dipped from time to time. At
one Of the stations a woman carrying a
child, also boy, entered the car. \ glance
told that the woman belonged TO the great
workadsy class of humanity. Toll was
written in deep, hard lines over face that
was still young. and the child she carried
had an emaciated look
The poor woman with her child sat down
In the seat beside the bright faced little one
who was so industriously feeding on the
confectionery. The candy eater looked ct
the grimy little fellow beside him in a sort
of silent wonder. Then in a quick. child
like wsy he thrust the box OF bonbons to-
ward the poor boy. The latter's ewes
opened 10 twice their SIZE as he dipped his
thin hand into the box and transferred a
big sugared cherry TO his mouth. These
two children looked at each other. and both
laughed nerrily.-New York Timex

The Element of Suspensions and Its
Effect--Various Notes.
A writer in The Misk-wi-nen-ne recently
said that he was painfully impressed by
the fact that the efforts of some to build
up the tribes were neutralized by the in
difference of others. He said:
AT the commencement of the year 1885,
or as we term it, q. S. D. 1914, the total
membership was Al ,635 Since that date
there has been an increase by the admis-
sion of new members of 99,12O Truly a
grand showing, and something about
which to feel proud. Now if this could
have been retained, what an dnexampled
increase it would have made! The mem
bership would now be over 10000 To set
over against this, however, there has been
a decrease during the same time of over
$1,000 by suspensions alone, so that the net
gain from adoptions has been little over
$1,000 Truly good figure. And yet, why
might it not have been more? Can there
not be some means adopted whereby this
enormous leakage may be stopped? 1t
seems to the writer that there can.

There was once a congressman who, hav-
ing pretty daughter, determined to send
her to seminary. After many inquiries
he found that majority of his friends
recommended school in Hagerstown.
Il went up to Hagerstown," said he,
"and found everything splendid. The

AT least a dozen trivial accidents or in

any one OF them been lacking he would
