The wedding OF the Adriatlc.

Among the many splendid pageants
OF gay old Venice in her days of pride
and glory as one OF the worlds great
powers, the most striking was the
Wedding of the Adriatic, which was
celebrated annually on Ascension Day.
on those occasions the Doge, accom-
panied by countless fleet of black
gondolas, sailed out in a galley splen-
dldly gilt and carved, called BucentorO,
in which were the chief officers OF state
and the representatives OF foreign ma
hons. 'Gne Pauiarcn OF Venice first
poured a quantity of holy water upon
the sea, and the Doge then dropped a
golden ring into the blue waters Of the
Adriatic. with the words, I'VE espouse
thee. o Sea, in token of a real and per-
petual dominion over thee!"

THE AGE OF THE PEARL.

Probably the Oldest Precious stone
Known to the Ancients.
The pearl is the one gem that comes
to us perfect from the hand OF nature,
and to this its great antiquity as a
gem is largely due, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Precious stones
whose beauty and brilliancy depend on
polishing and cutting would naturally
be discovered and utilized The discov-
cry OF the diamond probably dates
within historic times. Though known
earlier, II was not generally included
among the gem treasures Of royalty
even as late as the seventh century.
The modern cutting of diamonds in
regular facets was invented as recently
as 1856 Indeed, It is quite probable
that the pearl was the first gem known
and treasured by prehistoric man
since the search for food must have
been the first occupation OF the earliest
race-and the shining pearl would thus
have been discovered in river mussels
II not in marine oysters. Certain 1t Is
that the old testament and the ancient
written history allude TO pearls, and
that remoter evidence is found in the
tombs and excavated cities in still
earlier eras. The Egyptians, Babylon
ians and Assyrians held the pearl in an
esteem yerging on reverence.

II is evident that this aind Of "de-

the question, we suppose, adequately
TO punish the lynchers themselves in
any case by due course OF law, so as to
deter others from foll )wing their evil
example The only repressive meas
ure that promises to be effective Is that
provided by the new cOnstitution-to
Impose heavy penalty on the county
in which the lynching occurs, so as to
make such acts OF lawlessness too ex-
pensive TO be tolerated. Ii is TO be
hoped, therefore, that the case in
Orangeburg, TO test this provision-the
first case under the new law-will re-
suit In a verdict for the exemplary

~ HONOR OF WOMEN.

swlaa Nnntnn.

Swiss Canton.
Il is interesting to note how two
small communities conspre to do
honor to their womankind on account
OF services rendered in DAYS long past.
says the New York Journal. The Swiss
canton Of Argovie yearly celebrates
fete which dates back to the year 1712,
when Seigneur de Hallwyl raised a
regiment Of amazons TO assist some
Bernese troops who we're hard pressed
by the Catholic cantons. On a given
Sunday the women Of the communes
Of Meisterschwanden and Fahrwangen
assume lordship over the masterful
sex The married women and girls
Issue Invitations to their husbands and
friends and the whole community as
sembles at a village inn. The men
who are here entertained TO tea, beer
and cakes, are obliged TO walt till their
hostesses appear from an adjoining
room to choose them as partners for
the dance.
The women shelter and chaperon
their guests throughout the evening.
and when dancing is done they escort
the poor, weak men back to their own
firesides. A pretty custom, deserving
to be perpetuated
Another small community on the Isle
Of Man evinces its gratitude in. a more
practical manner still On one oc-
casion an invading force seemed likely
to overcome the islanders when the
women rushed to the rescue and de-
feated the enemy. Since then Manx-
woman, after marriage, becomes pos
sessed OF one-half OF her husbands
property. whether possessed then or ac-
quired at a later date. SO absolute
is her ownership that she may dispose
Of her share on death in the manner

The feet are surely plant members
when they can endure the variformed
shoes that from time to time compel
them into new habits with each new
pair put on; yet they rarely rebel or
give real trouble unless barbarously
neglected. Corns and bunions are
more often the result of weariT & old
shoes than in the wrong selection Of
new ones. a constant change of foot
gear inures the foot to variety and
even those who confine themselves
wholly to the ready made article need
suffer no in effects II they will keep
their shoe supply as carefully replen-
shed as is the rest of the wardrobe.
IL is one of the most fallacious OF
practices to attempt TO economize by

less they possess all their buttons.

daily brushed and aired, as are their
newer fellows. Only in this way may
the ankles be continually braced into

ERECTION When the foot Is thrown out
Of balance by worn-down heels, the
toes, attempting to retain level po-
sition, perform prehensle feats, which
resemble the action Of the forebears
some scientists have ascribed to us.
Moreover. the combined heat and
moisture of the normal foot hardens
the leather of the continuously worn
shoe into permanent creases, which in
turn render the foot extremely sensi-
tive, and a struggling against fits hard
environment enlarges the joints and
causes local distress.-Harper's Ba-

SOUTH oARoLINA's ANTI LYNoHING


Washington Post The new consti-
tuition Of South Carolina contains a
provision making counties liable to
pay SO, 0oo damages TO the defendants
or Illegal Representatives" OF the vic
tim Of a lynching. No case has ' ct
been tried under the law enacted to
carry this provision into effect but the
Charleston News and Courier learns
that the efficacy OF this law will soon
be tested in 0rangeburg county, an at
torneV having been employed to sue
the county for such damages on ac-
count OF the lynching at Stilton, year
ago, of the negro Brown, who was
hanged and shot TO death for alleged
barn burning"
There is no question that, II the tax
payers Of q county are compelled TO
pay SO, 900 for the unlawful killing Of
nAsnen, they will be very unwilling to
have men unlawfully killed in their
county. II is almost equally certain
that II the men OF substance in a
