The wedding ring, according to Henry
Swinburne of the seventeenth century, was
first designed by Prometheus and fashioned
out of adamant and iron by Tubal Cain.
He says that it was given by Adam to his
son TO this end, that Herewith he should
espouse Il wife. - Men We're, as all women
know, deceivers ever. and some OF these un,
scrupulous creatures were wont to wed
with rings made Of PUSHES, imagining them
TO be less binding than a strong and valu
able ring. The bishop of Salisbury, how
ever, stepped in and forbade this practice in
1917.
Silver was more frequently used thar
gold for wedding rings, aud they wer,
made in all kinds of shapes, some twisted
like two joined hands, or pair of hearts
stuck through with an arrow. Often they
were adorned with precious stones and
had ''posies"-that is, scraps OF verse-in
side, such as

Here is an extract from Journal of the
year 1909: On arriving in London we heard
great ringing of bells in almost all the
churches going on very late in the evening
We were informed that the young people
do that for the sake of exercise and umuse
ment, and sometimes they pay conSidera
BILE sums as a wager who will pull II bell
the longest and ring it in the most ap
proved fashion. Parishes spend much
money in tremendously sounding bells,
that one being preferred which has the best
bells. The old queen is said to have been
pleased very much by this exercise, con
sidering it MS sign of the health Of thu
people. They do not ring the bells for the
dead. When II person lies in agony, the
bells of the parish be belongs to are touched
with the c!appers until he either dies or re
covers again. As soon as this sign is given
everybody in tho street rs well as in the
houses falls on his knees Offering prayer
for the sick person.

poor fellow who used to stand out in the
corridor and lay for me each morning to
ask for small loan. He was one of that

I'm getting tired Of you making q

The woman suffrage women have arrived
at the story telling period, which Is OF IT
self significant as showing that the hurry
burly righteous Indignation period Is past.
Their stories are about the absurdities OF
legislators and their deliberations. These
they tell hguratively lying back In their
chairs with thumbs In their vest pockets
A group of Massachusetts women set out
to memorabilia the legislature on the sub
feet dearest to their heart. The legislature
replied that it was too occupied with press
ing affairs to give attention to this subject.
The question then before the house was
whether fish should be caught with seine
or with hook. Three days were given for
a discussion Of one side and three days for
"a discussion OF the other side Of this ques-
ton. At length, after a weeks debate, the
Question came to decision, and 1t was re
solved that llsh should be caught with q
seine and with hook.
At another time some questions peril
nent to the protection of young girls was
prominent, and the same group Of women,
who appear to sleep with one eye open on
the Massachusetts, legislature, were ready
to fling themselves upon that body when
the legislature took up the subject Of lob
sters. The destruction of the young imma'
turc lobster was argued with as much pa
thos us that of the young seals off Pribyloy
islands. At length 1t was decided that fol
the protection Of tho immature lobster in
its natural rights only Holsters Of acertair
length could be legally sold in the state OF
Massachusetts, and the legislature ad
journed. The result of this legislation wai
that all the succulent, tender Holsters were
sent to New York, and Massachusetts att
what was eft.--New York Evening Sun.
