The Wedding Ring.

The associations called up by wed.
ding ring are very touching, and it is
the last thing that even the poorest wife
will part with. If it ever was consider.
ed badge of servitude, it now is much
more suggestive of queenship and SOW
ereignty. An old Latin writer thus de.
scribes the ring: 1t is circular, because
the mutual love and hearty affection
of matrimony should be forever, their
continuity remaining as unbroken as
the circlet itself. 1t is an old-and ex.
ploded-notion that the ring is placed
upon the fourth finger because a small
artery connects with the heart. The
real reason probably is that the left
hand is not used as much as the right,
and the fourth finger less than the other
fingers.

Sanitation In Asia.

The appearance OF plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events. Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be-
lieve that they had nothing to learn in
regard to sanitation. There was time
when they were open to reproach in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water, and what not. But by dint of
liberal expenditure of money and energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, few
across the peninsula to the eastern, the
public became little doubtful as to
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov.
cry followed discovery, each more ap-
palling than the last. We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is sickening. But still more
terrible question presents itself. If the
two most cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hindustan are in this dreadful con.
dition, what must be the state of less
favored centers of population in districts
where there are few whites and many
blacks? We're the plague to penetrate
inland, it would we fear, find many
towns only too ready for its reception.

ON OCEANS BED.

What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
the Bottom of the Sea.
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midocean? If it is of wood, it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms Of water quarter of an hour
will elapse before the ship reaches bot
tom. It sinks slowly, and, when the bot.
tom is reached, it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing.
Of course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, a
ship becomes the prey Of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be-
sides this they cover every inch Of the
boat with thick layer of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship Is so laden
with heavy demonstrations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing timbers fall apart and, slowly but
surely are absorbed in the Waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood, which may
last for centuries. The only metals that
withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum, and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean,
it will always be gold when recovered,
and this fact explains the many rsman.

Mr.. Hill lost his footing and plunged
downward along the steep slope. He
knew what was below him. The speed
with which he approached destruction
was rapidly accelerated and growing
avalanche was accompanying him.
With a desperate effort he flung him
self upon his back and dug his heels
and elbows into the earth. 1t seemed
to him that he slid for miles. but he
was not going as fast as at the begin
ming. Stones that he had started raced
on ahead of him; he dug his heels and
his elbow in harder. And at last he
stopped with something that felt like
solid rock under his feet.
For some minutes he lay perfectly
stifl, not daring to move. Then slowly
he raised his head.
He was on the brink of the precipce.
GOO feet high. The little ledge under
his feet was actually projecting over
the edge.

found him sitting there. He was prac-
tically unhurt.

There's dog in Minneapolis that de-
serves a medal for herosm. He is a ST.
Bernard, and has a penchant for stop
ping runaway horses. The last feat of
this accomplished canine was the res
cuing of a party of ladies. AS life
saver Nero-that's his name-is a dis
tiuct success.
Nero's master was driving down Port
land avenue, Minneapolis, when he was
startled by cry of Look out!" He
turned, and was just in time to wheel
his horse out of the way of a runaway
which was tearing down the avenue.
Jast ahead there was a party of ladies'
who could not possibly escape what
seemed certain death to some of them,

Then her little brother dear sprung grin

Uplift in turn both fair sides to tho light,
Yet show us tints more delicate below:

FREELAND, PA, NOVEMBERl1,1s 1897.

In all the eulogies of the late Henry
George which have appeared since his
death, one remarkable achievement of
the man has been overlooked. To Mr..
George belongs the credit of giving the
voters of nearly every state in the union
the privilege of casting a secret ballot.
While touring Australia he investigated
the country's system of voting, and was
so impressed with it that he immedia-
tey began the agitation in the United
States for the adoption of the Australian
secret system. He toied and talked for
it and his work has given the voters of
many states the right to vote as they
desire. In Pennsylvania and a few
other boss-rdden commonwealths the
method is not the Australian system,
nor even a good imitation, but this is
not the fault of Henry George. He ad-
vocated system of absolute secrecy,
before and during and after the casting
of the ballot. but this did not suit the
Republican machine here and Pennsyl-
vanians are deprived of the benefits of
his great work in behalf of the voters of
America.

The Same Thing in Brief.
He stepped into restaurant.
The waiter bent his head,
And listened while his custom
In dulcet accents said:
" If you have nice. fresh oysters here,
Some that are really good,
Not those packed in tin cans, you know,
But those brought here in wood.
Just take about a half pint,
Not too fat nor too thin,
And get freshly secured pan,
And gently drop them in.
Then add a little butter, tco-
Not oleomargarine-
And then pour in some real cows milk.
With just a bit of cream.
Next place the pan upon a fire
OF bright and burning oil,
And watch 1t very carefully
TIL 1t begins to boil.
Then whip it off without delay
And pour it in a dish
That you have meanwhile set to warm:
Now do this as l wish"
The waiter bowed respectfully
And silently withdrew:
Went back, picked up the speaking tube
And loudly yelled: "One stew"

From all directions come complaints
about the tremendous rise in the price
of almost everything, excepting the only
article that more than half of our people
have to sell-their labor. An expert
says of the effect of the Dingley tariff
upon the price of mems clothes: "a
suit of clothes that could be bought last
year for SIS cannot be duplicated now
under $50 and that fact is an annoyance
to dealers and customers alike. With
men of ample means, who have their
clothes made by fashionable tailors, S.
or $40 advance on Il suit is hardly MOTTO
ed and if noticed eyokes no complaint.
1t is very different, however, with those
who have to be careful in their eXpendi-
lures, for to this class So represents a
considerable sum. The number of men
who buy SIS and $50 suits is largely in
excess of those who pay tailors $40 to
$50 for a suit. and it is from the poor
and the middle class that the kick
against the Dingley tariff is sure to come. -"

1t is the opinion of some of the news
papers that the Hon. John Leisenring is
out Of the race for governor because
Luzerne county, in which he lives, went
Democratic. 1t is not necessary to look
at it in that way. A rule of that kind
would settle a good many other candi-
dates as we'll. As a matter of fact,
most of the Republican candidates for
governor since the organization of the
party have been taken from counties
that were Democratic. Mr.. Leisenring
is no more responsible for Luzerne
