The Duke of La Rochefoucauld, who

at the Crusades, and men of his name
have filed high office at the court, in
the army and in the magiStracy ever
since. One Duke of La ROchefoucauld

The Wedding Ring.
Detroit Free Press.

How many people know why the
wedding ring is worn OH the third finge r
of the left hand? Well, this is the rea
reason: The third finger of the left
hand was chosen by the Egyptians be-
cause that finger was believed to be
directly connected by slender nerve
to the heart itself. The ancient wor-
shippers of Isis held this finger sacred to
Apollo and the sun, and therefore gold
was chosen as the material for the ring.

A Tower of Porcelain.

In 1870 a. D., a. Ster nineteen years
of ceaseIess labor aaN ian expenditure
of about s4,Ooo,o0O, OE 5"z ,..z
Government finished the wonderlu.
Porcelain Tower at Nankin, which
stood for nearly four and quarter
centuries until 1856- the most
marvellous building ever erected by
human hands. 1t was of octagon
form, 300 feet in height, with nine
stories, each having a cornice and
gallery without. The name Of Por-
celain Tower was applied to this
unique structure on account of the
fact that the whole OF the outside
work was covered with porcelain
slabs of various sizes and colors, but
principally of red, white, yellow and
green. AZ every one OF It's nine
stories the projecting roof q the
gallery was covered with green tiles,
each corner being provided sith q
bell varying in weight from 900 to
1000 pounds.
There were 152 bells Ia ali, eacG as
nicely balanced as to roca back and
forth as they were swa4ed by the
breezeS, giving oata continuous
strain of beautiful bat wierd MUSE.
Ranged IN rows between the bells
were Us brass, bronze, and silver
lamps, which wee lighted every
night in the year The apex Of tic
tower, starting from It's base at ehe
$50 foot level, and extending upward
for height of 10 feet, was mon
ster gilded pineapple, sa1mom5ed By
copper bali aoout ? feet il dome
ter. a spiral stairway Of over soc
steps led from the base to the s5,2}-
nit. The building was cyastraeged
as a gift to an er1press, and was
always kept in repair IL the Gov
ernment. Lightning struck it IN
1901, and tore down the three top
stories The injury was repaired as
soon as possible. It would probably
have been standing to this day had
not the TAPPING rebels imagined its
lights and bells disastrous to their
cause.

An IRISH SToRY.-A farmer was
put on trial at the Clonmel assizes,
at the beginning of the present cen
tury, before Lord Noroury, then
known as the changing Judge" for
having killed a man in a faction fight
at the fair of Nenagh by smashing
his skull. In the course Of the trial
surgical evidence was given that the
skull of the deceased was no thicker
than an eggshell. However, the
accused was found guilty, and when
asked by the judge what he had to
say why sentence of death should
not be pronounced upon him, he
replied that che had nothing to say,
only he thought that man with a
skull no thicker than an eggshell had
no business at the fair of Nenagh." !"
This answer so tickled the humorous
side of the Judge that he ordered his
discharge, observing that the mans
death, according to the doctors. evi-
dence, was purely the result Of a
natural accident. At the same time
he warned the prisoner that, should
he ever again engage in faction
fight, to make sure that the mar he
encountered had skull thicker than
an eggshell.

Manners When at Church.
ladies Home Journal.

No, your manners in church are
very bad. And shall l tell you to
whom you ar rude? To God him
self.
You have no right to saunter lazily
up the aisle in the house c-lieated
to him.
You have no right to move around,
arranging, stroking and straighten-
ing your gown; your manner should
be quiet and in good order.
You have no right ~@ad Your
prayer book lust booaca's You DO not
fancy the sermon. You are then
insulting two persons, God and his
representative.
You have no right during the time
the hymn is sung to carefully observe
the bonnets and wraps Of the congre-
CATION. This is always in bad taste,
but reserve 1t for weekday delecta-
ton.
You have no right to discuss the
sermon as you walk down the aisle.
The preacher has done his best, and
in the name of God, and you have
no right to criticise him.
You wonder if you have COM
mitted all these sins; you do not
believe you have. My dear, think it
over, and YOU will find one or two
may be laid at your door. Only lit
tie faults-only little rudeness to the
King Of kings. A dcmeaaor becom-
ing a gentlewoman, reverence be-
coming a worshiper, is the way l
want ali my girls to look and act at
church. The picture of one who
prayed and who lived beautiful lie,
and who, it always seemed to me,
must have been the typical beauti-
I full, is etched by England's crown
poet, and she seems the woman who
would make home the place in which
she dwell the better for her. These
are the lines which describe her:
Ewes not dow n-dropt nor over bright,
But fed with the clear-pointed fame OF
Crowned Isabel through all her married
life,
The queen of ..narriage, most perfect
wife.

How People Sleep.
1.-THE Youths Companion. ]

Though it is true, as the author Of
school composition once asserted,
that sleeping is universal practice
among all nations" it is also true
that there is great diversity in the
methods of sleeping among people
of different nations and different
ways of life. The things which one
person needs to make him sleep are
precisely the things which would
keep another awake all night. Even
the sedative medicines which put
one person Immediately into heavy
slumber excite another into condi-
ton of nervous restlessness.
The European or American, in
order to sleep well, ordinarily requires
a downy pillow under the head; but
the japanese, stretching himself upon
rush mat on the floor, puts a hard:
square block of wood under his
head, and does not sleep well if he
does not have it.
The Chinese makes great account
of his bed, which is very low indeed q
scarcely rising from the foor-bu'
is often carved exquisitely of wood
but it never occurs to him to make
it any softer than rush mats will
render it.
While the people Of Northern
countries cannot sleep unless they
have plenty Of room to stretch out
their legs, the inhabitants of the
tropics often curl themselves up like
monkeys at the lower angle of a sus-
pended hammock, and sleep soundly
in that position.
The robust American often covers
himself with pair of blankets, and
throws his window wide open to the
air, even in the winter time, and he
doessnot complain if he finds a little
drift of snow across the top of his
bed in the morning.
The Russian, on the contrary, likes
no sleeping-place so well as the tor
Of the big soapstone stove in his
domicile. Crawling out of this bis
tering bed in the morning, he likes
to take plunge in a cold stream
even if be has to break through the
ice to get into it.
The Laplander crawls, head and
all, into bag made of reindeer skin
and sleeps warm and comfortable
within it. The East Indian, at the
other end of the world, also has q
sleeping bag, but it is more porous
than the Laplander's. Its purpose
is to keep out mosquitoes more thar
to keep the sleeper warm.
While the American still clings &C
his feather pillow, he is steadily dis
carding his old-fashioned feather bed
in favor of the hair or straw mat
tress. The feather bed is relegated
to the country, and many people who
slept upon it all through their child
hood find themselves uncomfortable
upon it in their maturity.
The Germans not only sep upor
feather bed, but underneath one
The feather covering used in Ger
many, however, is not as large OF
thick as the one which is used as &
mattress, and the foreigner who
undertakes to sleep beneath it often
finds his feet suffering from colo
while his shoulders are suffering from
heat.

and I sincerely regret he did not
but he is the best judge of his OWE
actions and conduct, and I presume

This much by way Of preface e
very long preface, I admit brings
me to the point Of suggesting plar
upon which I think we all ought te
agree.
Each faction, no doubt, honestly
thinks It has majority of the Demo.
cratic voters behind it. Majorities
shift with such astonishing rapidity
in this country that few things are
more uncertain and deceptive. 4
faction or party in majority this
year may be in a hopeless minority
next year.
How, then, are we to ascertain who
represents majority of the Demo
cratic voters? I answer, by pri-
mary election. s unit the claims
of every candidate to the people and
let them decide at the polls who they
want. Having decided in this way
every Democrat in the State should
and will rally to those receiving q
majority of the votes and close uE
our divided ranks.
Surely nobody wishing to carry
out the will of the majority car
object to that. Governor Tillman
desirous of indicating his admins
tration, would, doubtless, want fail
contest in an open field, and this
method would give it to him.
Other gentlemen becoming candi.
dates would want an equal opportu.
nifty to criticise him and present then
claims. They, too, would be con.
tent to submit themselves to the peo.
pie in this way. The people them.
selves certainly would not object
The newspapers could not object
for it would "furnish grist for theil
mill' and give them a chance to vim
dicate their judgment. Why, then
should not the State Exec tive Com
mittee provide for a primary cleo.
ton for all State officers, as is now
provided for members of Congress
and Solicitors, and let the candidates
have it,out before the people?
Meantime each candidate car
organize his forces, and the better
organized the more intelligent vii
be the discussion and more satisfac.
tory the result.
A call has been made for meet.
