TATTOO THE WEDDING RING.

A British Social Reformer Suggests Brand
ing Both Bride and Groom.
DEAR SIR wish in all earnestness to
make known suggestion that would
save many a broken heart among the
sensitive and many breach of promise
case among the mercantile, and would
considerably tighten the labors of the
police courts and law courts. My sug-
gestion is that every married man and
every married woman should have cir
Gle tattooed around the third finger of
the left hand in place of or as well as
the wedding ring. This would be a sign
that could never be taken off or effaced
and would therefore leave lesser mar
gin for the treacheries and tricks of biga-
mists and other great and small offenses
against law, society and individuals.
To make this proposition practical and
distinctive, of course certain rules would
have to be made. For instance, any un-
married man or woman tattooing theiy
third finger to be heavily fined. Every
widow and widower to add distin-
gushing mark to their ring. Every
married man or woman disunited by
law to have bar of erasure across their
wedding ring, and those who marry two
or three times to add the extra circles
accordingly.
The operation Of tattooing could with
all reverence be performed by an ex-
pert in the vestry after the church serv-
ice, or at the registrars Office for those
who only go through the civil ceremony.
This tattooing may seem return to
barbarism, but our much vaunted civ
ilization has introduced such numerous
aids to deceit that safeguard and a
warning, such as a tattooed wedding
ring. would become practical prevent
i've Of much sham, folly and wrong.
Only those who have sympathy for un-
lawful liberty will demur against the
idea being realized. shall be pleased
to hear from all who approve Of my
scheme and are willing to assist in form
ing society to influence others in bring
ing about custom that would help to
insure peace, respect and happiness to
many homes and hearts. Yours faith
fully, B. 7. KNoLLYs.

WINTER AT THE MILL.

The winding lane is filled with snow;
The cold sky wears frown;
As far as hazy dreamland seems
Tho warm o'erfowing town.
And everything 10 white and chill
When it is winter at the mill.
The mill wheel with its merry whir,
In icy hands is fast;
No CHEEKY neighbor seeks the door;
No traveller wanders past;
The path is lost across the hill
When 1t Is winter at the mill.
The miller reads his almanac
And wishes it were spring,
When logs come tumbling down the
stream, .
And larks and veeries sing;
Tine whole wido world is blank and still
When 1t is winter at the mill.
The mille-'s wife, sore discomfort,
Sits By the easement low,
And knits and watches the gray smoke
From village chimneys blow,
There is no gossip, good or i'll.
When it is winter at the mill.
But to the miller's little maid
Time hastes on rosy wing.
The fairies she could never flnd
In any haunts of spring
Fill all the firelit chimney nook
Through magic of o story book.

SILVER AND GOLD.


Farewell, my little sweetheart,
Now fare you well and free;
1claim from you no promise,
You claim no VOWS from me.
The reason why?-the reason
Right well we eanitlphold--
have too much of silver,
And you've too much of gold.
A puzzle this, to worldlings,
Whose love to lucre flies,
Who think that gold to silver
Should count as mutual priZeI
But I'm not avaricious,
And you're not sordid souled:
have too much OF silver,
And you've too much of gold.
Upon our heads the reason
Too plainly can be seen;
am the winters bond slave,
You are the summers = 'en.
Too few the years you Ii v Der,
Too many have told:
have too much Of silver,
And you've too much of gold. s.
You have the rose for token,
have dry leaf and rime;
! have the sobbng vesper,
You, morning bells at chime.
Iwould that were younger
(Yet you grew never old)-
Would had less of silver,
But you no less of gold.

Last June, Dick Crawford brought his
twelvemonths old child, suffering from infan-
tile diarrhoeas, to me. 1t had been weaned at
four months old and being sickly everything
ran through It like water through sieve.
I gave It the usual treatment In such cases
but without benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until 1t weighed but little more than
when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I than
started the father to giving Ohamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Be-
fore one bottle of the % cent size had been
used, mark improvement was seen and its
continued use sured the child. Its weakness
and puny constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the child's life was
saved by this Remedy. ]. Z. MARLow, Nd.

means the creation at once of q prop

EXILED.

Gilbert de Saumur had just returned
to Paris after 10 years sojourn in Amer
lea. He had left his country ruined and
almost hopeless, victim to his passion
for gambling. He was quite young
when he had left France, but he had
squandered away large fortune and SO
had courageously decided to go into ex-
lie and try his luck in new way
namely, by work! He had started away
with $40 in his pocket and had now re-
turned after 10 years slavery almost
rich man again.
He was once more ON the boulevards,
once more gazing at the brilliantly
lighted shops and at the gay crowd of
fashionable loungers who were strolling
along apparently without care in the
world. At last, feeling little tired, he
sat down at one of the tables outside a
cafe, idly wondering whether any of his
former friends would recognize him
again now.
Suddenly he felt hand on his shoul-
acquaintance of his.
''De Saumur, is it possible? Why,
old fellow, how many years is it since
we met, or rather since we parted?"
'Ten years, Rouval-just 10 years
since I started off with my eco to try
my luck over the sea-
"And what sort of luck have you
had, old fellow?"
VERY fair-better than I expected.
I've come back anyhow with enough Of
the 'needful' to go along all right now.
How have you been getting on all these
years?"
"Well, I've had some changes, like
every one else. I'm married now and
am getting on all right-at least /
should if could only leave the con-
founded cards alone"
"Take care, Rouval if you go in for
that still. ought to have been warn
ing to some Of you. Why don't you
give that sort of thing up once and for
all?"
That's easier said than done. What
is fellow to do at the club, and then
if once you've won from man you
cannot refuse to let him have his chance,
and SO you go on. l say, you'll come
home with me2 I want to hear all
about your doings and introduce you to
my wife,"
II should like to come very much
"Well, it's settled then. Now tell
me something about your life over yon-
der. How did you ever get start?"
We'll, had bad time at first, I
confess. The motto of the country there
is Every man for himself. If one can
not hold ones own in the fierce compe-
tition that is waged, then there is moth
ing to do but givei in and disappear. On
the contrary, if you've got some grip in
you and can hold on and have got just
enough money in your pocket to keep
you from starving till you get your foot
on the ladder, why, there's chance for
you.

"De Saumur, is it possible?"

how I commenced. When I had got
used to the life over there and saw how
things went, ventured on other things,

Pertinent Inscriptions,

1t is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some of our best knowns
proverbs and mottoes were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be.
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means of reckoning time. it
was a prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are, MAKE hay while the sun
shines, ""The longest day must end"
and All things do wax and wane."
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London,
and which proclaimed, number none
but sunny hours. This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight Of time and the brevity Of
life. They were as follows: AFTER
darkness, light. /" ALAS! how swiftl''
II warn whilst I move" and So passes
life."
Another old sundial spoke petulant-
ly about the same subject in the words,
"Sirrah, be gone about your business. 2
