The wedding Ring,

The associations called up by we'd
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
Breignty. An old Latin writer thus de-
soribes the ring: 1t is circular, because
she 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.
The common cocklebur Of the coun-
try is simply the seed case of a plant.
Its thorny hooks give it hold upon fur
or wool bearing animals or upon the
clothes of men, and thus cause it to be
transported to considerable distances.

CoNvEyANcERs and others engaged to
make searches of real estate titles at the
Clerks Office will probably feel some
timidity in giving decisions in view of
the verdict in the case of Ashby VS..
Atkinson. The defendant had assured
Mr.. Ashby that mortgage had been can
celed, and this statement was the result of
a search of the records, which showed
that the mortgage had been discharged by
certificate. Mr.. Ashby first tried to get re-
dress from Charles T. Parker, the clerk
who made the discharge, but the Courts
decided that that official had acted proper
ly in the matter and was not responsible
Then suit was brought against Atkinson
who, by the verdict of the jury, must pay
the loss that Mr., Ashby suffered. This
certainly does not look like justice. If
the records are not to be taken as evidence
what is the use of having them? Mr.. AL
linson may be able to get redress from the
persons who were at fault in giving the
certificate, but if they were not living, or
were not responsible. he would be compell-
ed to pay the penalty for giving a certif-
cate in accordance with the record.

y spectator wrote: The majority of
the miners We're Germans. They were
in a state of intense excitement caused
by sympathy for the wives and chill
dren of the buried men and despair at
their own baulked efforts. 4 great
mob of ignorant men and women as
sembled at the mouth of the mine on
the evening of the third day in q con-
dition Of high nervous tension which
fitted them for any mad act. A sullen
murmur arose that it was folly to dig
farther, that the men were dead; and
this was followed by cries of rage at
the rich mine-owners, who We're in no

hasty word or gesture might have pro-
duced an outbreak of fury. Standing

Consolation.

Many are the tales of miserly men
and the witticislns which their failing
drew forth. Every one knows the
story Of the wealthy man who desired
his son to bury with him 4 large por
ton of his fortune. The son was more
astute than his father, for he drew a
check for the required amount and
placed it in the coffin with the remark
that ''the governor was always care
full man and never carried money
about"
Another tale is this: The departing
Croesus was clergyman. who had
paid more attention to the laying up Of
treasure on earth than in heaven. In
his last days he was carefully tended
by a faithful body servant.
"Ah, Tom.' he said to his servant,
$50 I must go and leave all my gold
and silver behind me-.

help for that. But, then. you don't
mind; if you take Vt, it would only
