MUST THE WEDDING RING GO
win Woman Rebel Against Wearing tho
symbol of Map's Authority

For 1000 years. ever since the Romans
plighted their troth with tiny iron band,
the magic circlet has kept its hold upon
the world, but will that hold he as firm in
the futurcy Ii must be remembered that,
after all, the ring is nothing more than "a
symbol; that the putting on of ring is
not necessary To complete the legal con.
tract of marriage.
Nor are signs wanting that its star is
already on the wane The engagement
ring may be regarded as doomed, since
Princess May substituted an engagement
bracelet for the conventional ring of be-
trothaL She has not indeed declined the
mystic symbol of the union of hearts
presented by the Welsh people to the Duke
Of York, but the refusal Of the engagement
ring might quite fairly be- regarded as the
first step in the path toward the abolition
Of its more important successor.
There is yet another argument against
the wedding ring. The ring was adopted
as the outward and visible sign Of power
and authority. In the olden days, when
messages were sent by word of mouth il
was the custom, In order to prove the au-
thenticity Of the bearer, TO intrust him
with the signet ring of the sender.
Thus, when "A man took unto himself a
wife, whom he placed at the head Of his
household, that delegated authority was
made visible 10 the world by comforting
upon her the all potent ring-the only dis
tinction being that the woman wore her
ring on the left hand, as being the inferior
hand Of the two, while the man, as lord
and master, carried his upon the right or
superior hand
In a day, therefore, when the woman
claims the authority in her own right and
scornfully repudiates the idea of being
delegated, il would be only consistent
for her to refuse the symbol IL indeed
there should be "A comforting of rings at
ALL 1t would be more in keeping with the
man to receive il, since the spirit of the
age Is all in favor Of his being the dele
gated authority.
II ID not generally known that in all
there are about "a different makes of rings
and three qualities of gold. The cheap
quality is In favor with the Scotch and
Irish, while In the north of England heavy
rings are In demand OF the two STYLES of
rinG-the round and the broad sort-the
popular taste most approves the latter as
being most snowy. The wants of the
United Kingdom in this respect are sup
piled for the most part by Birmingham.
where the trade Is so brisk that Il is no un
common thing for one establishment to
turn out patches of from 80 to 20 dozen q
week, and 50 far as we can see at present
there seems no prospect Of any decay In
their thriving trade. Pearson $ Magazine.

Dor whom he suspects OF helping himself
to wood from the formers pile OF fuel
and has practically decided that as Tar
as the little game has gone he has the
worst end OF the stick. The said citizen
claims that a neighbor has been stealing
his wood and, in order to give him a
dose of medicine, which was considered
no more than deserved, the citizen insert
ed a stick OF explosive powder into one OF
the sticks and awaited Developments.
Shortly aiterward his own son went out
for wood and. as luck would have it,
brought in the stick with the powder in

the stove and the result can be as well
imagined as described. The dynamite
exploded in no time and completely
wrecked the stove and almost ruined the
kitchen. The fortunate neighbor is liv-
iog in blissiul ignorance and still helps
himself to his friends fuel.
