History of the Wedding Ring.

A long time ago the wedding ring was
worn on the forefnger, and was thickly
studded with precious stones. People
who have seen the old pictures of the
Madonna in Rome will remember that
in one or two of them there is glisten.
ing ring on the fore6nger of her right
hand. but with Christianity came the
wearing Of the wedding ring on the third
finger rather than the first. The old
story of there being a vein that runs
from that finger to the heart is nonsense.
Its use originated in this way: The
priest first put it on the thumb, saying
"In the name of the Father; on the
fore6nger, adding, "In the name of the
Som; on the second finger. repea ting,
I'm the name of the Holy Ghost; and
on the third finger ending with Amen"
and there it staid.

After the happy pleasures. of the
day had been discussed to their
hearts content, Grandmamma Page
said earnestly.
"Now, girls, the next time every
thing looks wrong don't grumble,
but do something to help some one
else. That is good medicine for dark
days and unhappy thoughts"

VACATlON-TlME.

The grammars and the spoilers,
The pencils and the states,
The books that hold the fractions.
And the books that tell the dates.
The crayons and the blackboard s
And the maps upon the wall,
Must all be glad together
For they won't be used till fail.
They've had to work like beavers
To help the children learn;
And If they want a little rest,
1t surely is their turn.
They shut their leaves with pleasure.
The dear old lesson books,
And the crayons and the blackbOards
Put on delighted looks.
So. children, just remember.
When you are gone away.
Your poor old states and pencils
Are keeping holiday.
The grammars and the spoilers
Are as proud as proud can be
When the boys forsake the school-room.
And the teacher turns the key.

THE DOLL HOSPITAL.

SpectdcleS IndI mduo
everything look wrong.
COB, dear mel" said Dorothy in a
mournful tone, fattening her nose
against the window and looking dis
consulate.
Dear me, tool' echoed Barbara
ruefully, for discomfort is always con-
tagious.
The fact is, these two young goto
school girls thought they had nothing,
absolutely nothing, to do on this
rain threatening Saturday morning.
They were supremely unhappy. That
is not strange, for most people are.
or ought to be, perfectly miserable
when their hands are idle.
Dorothy and Barbara looked
through blue goggles this morning
because their mothers, who were
much interested in work in Poverty
Flats, had refused to take them to
see very sick washer woman. The
pitiful stories of slum-life had
touched the tender child hearts and
they SO longed to do something to
help the poverty stricken unfortu-
mates.
In answer to their eager entreaties
Dorothy's mother had said, mo, my
dears; when you are older you can
do all these helpful things" patting
each up-turned, rosy cheek as she
spoke.
So the little maidens were left with
Grandmamma Page for the day.
This would have been a delightful
treat for Dorothy and Barbara if
they had not unwisely decided to put
on blue spectacles when they could
not have their own way. Grand
mamma smiled in a peculiar fashion
over her knitting as she heard an oc-
casional woe-begone sigh or plain
tive exclamation. Finally Dorothy
OTOke the SLlllneSS,
Just because we are little we can't
do anything useful like grown peo-
pie" she said in doleful tone.
81 am going to see poor people all
the time when l get big" Barbara
chimed in, dismally.
This was more than dear Grand
mamma Page could stand. She
looked thoughtfully over her specta-
cles, with clear white glass, by the
way-and said, knowingly:
81 know what | would do if | were
a little girl" Then sh industriously
resumed her knitting.
Grandmamma added nothing, but
she knew that four questioning eyes
were turned to her. Soon four
little feet crept down to the great
arm chair and two little golden heads
became confused, in a pretty con-
trast with Grandmamma's scarlet
yarn.
"If | were little girl" began
Grandmamma, 81 would do some
thing to help little girls if l could
do nothing to help sick people in
tenement houses. 1 would found a
doll hospital"
"a doll hospitalp echoed two
eager voices.
"Why not9" smiled Grandmamma.
II have no doubt that many dolls in
this neighborhood are suffering, or at
least their little mothers are sorrow
full, because a favorite doll has a
mashed nose, broken toe, or refrac-
tory saw dust in an injured arm"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-08-15

20 Grandmammawex claimed Doro-
thy with loving hug of delight, and
Barbara Immediately followed her
example with two hugs.
A doll hospital That was indeed
new idea. Happy smiles had
chased the shadows from their faces as
eagerly they arranged for their pros
pective doll patients. The sunniest,
contest corner in the basement was
chosen for the hospital. Grand
mamma and her ever-present knit
ting agreed to move to the basement
in order to superintend.
"You must hang out your sign,"
she suggested, when the work was
well under way.
To be sure, that would be neces
sary. Dorothy had bright idea, for
she suddenly disappeared, returning
with a miniature black board and a
piece of chalk. After earnest consul
tation on the momentous question,
the two maidens decided on the fol-
lowing invitation, printed in childish
zig-zag scrawl.

James Blaine's Prophesy.

In 1880 James G. Blaine SPOKE as
follows in the United States Senate:
] believe the struggle now going on
in this country Il in other countries
for a single gold standard would, If
successful, produce widespread dis
aster 10 and throughout the CONNER
cial world. The destruction Of silver
as money and establishing gold as the
sole unit Of value must have a ruin
Gus effect upon all forms of property
except those investments which yield
a fixed return in money.
These would be enormously enbanc-
ed in value, and would gain a dis
| proportionate and unfair advantage
over other species Of property. II. as
the most reliable statistics affirm, there
are 81, 900, 900 900 OF coin or bullion in
the world, very equally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible tc
strike silver out Of existence as money
without results that will prove distress
ing to millions and utterly disastrous
to tens OF thousands.
