One part of the wedding ceremony
among the Ba5ylonians was very
significant. The priest took thread
from the garment OF the bride, and
another from the garment of the
bridegroom, and tied them into a
knot, which be gave to the bride.
This is probably the origin Of the
modern saying about tying the knot
in regard to marriage.-Jewlsh Mes-

Is drunkenness a crime? This IS
tho question that has been agltatipg
two local contemporaries for some
days, AZ it has been very clearly
proved that the act of getting drunk
itself is not the crime, one of the
papers alluded to thinks that it should
be made criminal. 1t states that
at present q drunken man may in
suit his friends OF strangers, offend
ladies In the streets, resist the DO"
lice ard do q great many things
which if done by a sober man would
cause arrest. If this 10 the case
the peace officers are 10 blame, for
there certainly is no law which al-
lows q drunken man to commit any
ofenss with impunity tor which =
sober man could justly be arrested.
But it may be said in defence OF the
police that there ia always and every.
where a feeling that men who are
not In their right senses, whether
from excessive indulgence in liquor
or other causes, should not be held
to such a strict accoun liability tor
their actions as If they were in the
full enjoyment OF all their mental
faculties. This Indulgence is Of
doubtful wisdom even as regards i'd.
iots and maniacs, and OF course
much more so in the case of drunk
en- men, still 1t exists and the po-
liceman whv ignores its existence
is liable to get himself into trouble.
