The wedding Finger.

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol of their wedding vow
know why they wear it on the third
finger of the left hand? That particular
digit was chosen because it was believed
by the Egyptians to be connected by a
slender nerve with the heart itself. And
these ancient worshipers of Isis held
this finger sacred to Apollo and the sun,
and therefore gold was the metal chosen
for the ring.-Detroit Free Press.

working at High Attitudes.

The contractors on the mountain rail
ways are experiencing great difficulty
in getting laborers. The altitude of
many of these roads is so great that, ac-
cording to the celebrated French civil
engineer, Nj. Charles Legrand, long
period of acclimatization is necessary
before it is safe to undertake manual
labor of any but the lightest description.
The illness, which is the penalty of a
disregard of this rule, is said to cause
the most acute pains in the head of the
sufferer, which sometimes develops in
sanity.

Marriage and Home Life in China.

Love and romance play little part in the
marriages in China. The Chinaman who
enters the harbor of matrimony looks upon
the matter as a fulfllment of duty which
he owes to his ancestors.
The custom of the Chinese to marry Off
their sons and daughters at an early age
does not seem advisable to the Europeans.
1t is also the rule in China that unions only
take place between families of equal social
and financial standing. Disregard of this
rule would cause subsequent trouble inva-
riably. The custom of early marriages is
founded, moreover, on principles 1ncompre-
hensible to the western mind. The boy
and girl Joined in wedlock do not form a
new family, but rather the youngest branch
of the family tree, upon which they are
herceforth dependent. The duty of parents
toward their sons does not end with their
marriage; they are obliged to care for them
after that time also. There is a great dis
advantage in this system. The son being
under the eyes of the parents as long as
they are alive really never becomes indie
pendent.
All members of u family live, when pos
sible, under one roof and even after the
death of the parents the sons continue, as
a rule, to live together in the family home.
When the father dies the oldest brother
assumes his place as the head of the fam
lily, and when the mother dies the wife OF
| the oldest brother takes her place, But
again the system has many advantages.
As the girls are married very young they
are unacquainted, rs a rule, with the duties
of housewife, But in entering the house
holds of their fathers-in-law they learn
the needful lessons in family economy

He Was Entitled to It.

Many citizens of Illinois who attended
the Minneapolis convention owe debt Of
gratitude to Henry Evans, the Aurora
statesman, who presided over one of the
doors of the convention. Henry is strong
partisan and he has a warm side for all
Illinoisans. It soon became known that
Henry was taking care of the Illinois con-
tingent in royal shape, and as a conse-
quence many a man who was unknown to
Evans imposed upon his good nature by
gaining admission under the plea that he
resided at some crossroad hamlet in ILL
nois.
On the second day of the convention a
little, short, pudgy fellow brushed up to
the door and said, 81 have come all the
way from Illinois to see this convention
and want to do it,"
"Do you live in Illinois" asked Evans.

Joined the doorkeeper, and If you are really
Hank Evans / guess will have to let you
in, because / know Mr.. Evans is stanch
Republican and would be sorry to do any
thing to offend him."
Thereupon he passed the insistent stran
ger into the convention hall, at the SAINT
time pressing into his hand calling card
