Christians in all ages and all parts OF the

ring was selected rather than anything
else. because anciently it was a seal by

the old Romans is vouched for by the most
undoubted authorities. Tertulian is per-

the ring was placed on the first finger of
the brides right hand, with tina words, I'm

with the words, "and Of the Son.; and next
on the third. with the words, '0f the Holy

hand. 1t was an old belief that particular

In Sumatra there is n very singular race
OF human beings called the Kubus. They
are the most timid and bashful people in
the world, being too shy to mingle with
the othor races OF the island. They dwell
In the darkest recesses of the mountain
forests, and have seldom been seen by
white men. One has never been known
to willingly face stranger. This being
the case, their trade with the Malayans is
carried on in very strange way. The
trader announces his arrival by beating n
gong, and than retires from the place Of
rendezvous. The shy Kubus then ap-
proach, put their forest treasures on the
g-ound, beat the traders gong and re-
treat.
The trader then returns and lays his
commodities down in quantities sufficient
TO pay purchase price of tho goods on
sale. He then disappears for the second
time, this to give the Kubus a chance to
return and consider the bargain. After
many Withdrawals, approaches, gong

tie he will have to work to do 1t.
Sullivan spent the day punching the
bag and skipping the rope.
After all his work yesterday morning,
during which he was attentively watched
by Jack McAuliffe, he weighed 2l1 pounds.
The party returned to the hotel just be-
fore noon, aud after rest John ate his
dinner, and this Is what Casey ordered
Tor him: Chops, steak, chicken, pears,
grapes and bottle Of Bass ale.
Casey does nos feel at all alarmed at the
outcome OF the battle and says that Sulli-
van Will enter the ring weighing between
cC7 and 2l0 pounds aud will surely win.
Corbetts chances, on the other hand,
are believed by his admirers TO be fair.
They say that much of the science and
only,
In the pool room yesterday the betting
was 85 to 100 Sullivan and . to Corbett.
The sensation of yesterday was the de-
claration of Corbett that he would not
allow Sullivan TO paste plasters over him
self before going into the ring TO serve ms
armour plates against body blows.
Mike" Donovan Is great believer In
pitch plasters. He says he wouldn't think
OF going into the ring without two or
three dabbed on at appropriate points,
but Trainer Delaney says that Sullivan
makes an unfair use of them, and it was
his idea that under the Marquis of Queens
berry rules 1t would be illegal to wear
them. Manager Brady formally notified
the Olympic Club that there was formal
plot to hang plasters on Sullivan, and
that 1t must not be permitted.
The pitch plaster discussion will not in
terfere with the fight, whichever way it
is decided. Corbett says he will enter the
ring even IL the Olympic Club managers
decide that Sullivan may wear iron spikes
on his chest.
