and brass and bronze are to them as i'm

Of brass, copper or bronze, and il is the
custom to present the female portion Of

Of this custom is that almost all the
plAtters, trays, bowls, nut crackers and
all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented. and there are
lovely combinations Of brass and copper
and silver and copper. All HindOo wo-
men used TO have lovely brass caskets
covered with ornamentations called chel-

which they kept their jewels. but these

Not Founded on History.

In q literary discussion the other even

Robert Browning's poem, How They

was founded upon historical facts, and
that the episode would be found narrated

question was very hotly discussed In Eng

poem. As there Is q semblance Of truth In

formation of the northern alliance by
william the Silent, which finally wrested
the independence Of the Netherlands from
Spain. While this discussion was at its
height 1t occurred to one ofthc dsputants
to inquire of Mr.. Browning himself, where

to say there was no discount on their
money, and they preferred keeping 1t In

cvasiye terms. If the said capitalists
were themselves stockholders in the con-
