THE BRIDAL VEIL.

It may be of interest to the autumn
bride to know that the bridal veil Is OF
eastern origin, being relic OF the
bridal canopy held over the heads OF
the bride and bridegroom. Among the
glo-Saxons similar custom existed,
but if the bride was q widow 1t was
dispensed with. According to Sarum
usage, fine linen cloth was laid upon
the heads OF the bride and bridegroom,
and was not removed until the bene-
diction had been said. The old Bril-
tish custom was to use natures veil
unadorned-that is, the long hair Of
the bride, which was SO worn by all
brides, royal, noble and simple.

Many years ago word came TO me that two
imposters, as temperance lecturers, had been
speaking in Ohio IN various places and CIV

audience that they hal long neen intimate
with me and had become drunkards by din
ing at my table, where l always had liquors
OF all sorts. Indignant to the last degi ee,
went down to Patrick Campbell, chief of
Brooklyn police. saying that was going to
start that night for Ohio 10 have those vii

how to make the arrest BE smiled and said:
''Do not waste your time by chasing these
men. Go home and DO your work, and they
can do you no HARM" I took his counsel,
and all was well. Long ago / made up my
mind that If one will put his trust in God
and BIO faithful to duty he need not fear any
evil. Have God on your side, young man,
and all the combined forces of earth and hell
can do you no damage.
And this leads me to say that the might

would put to shame the gracefulness and

languages may drop from his tongue. He

Barney Barnato's Good Fortune.

1t is better to be born lucky than
rich When Mr.. Barnato was mt Johan-
nesburg, he determined to 90 to the
races. You'll only lose your money"
said his friends warningly. ''Well, L
won't take any with me-" he replied,
And then shall be all right"
Arrived at the race course, no saw
man with n peanut and fruit stall and
asked him what he'd take for it.
1.-Two hundred pounds" was the re-
ply.
Done with you," said Barnato.
"Well, where's the moneys" asked
the man rs Barnato was proceeding to
appropriate the STALL
"Oh, I'm Mr.. Barnato. It'll DO all
right.
well, that's good enough for me-"
Within an hour Barnato had sold the
contents of the stall for 5000. He paid
the man his goo, staked the balance
on the races and won $4,000 before
the end of the day.
Perhaps it is hot generally known
now how Mr.. Barnato came to be mar
ried. The beginnings of his fortune are
said to have been due to the prudent
purchase of diamonds in South Africa.
These he deposited for safety with a
certain barinaid in Kimberley. After IA
timo he said to her: "Give me my dia-
monds. I'm off to Europe. When re-
turn, we'll he married"
II think we'll he married first" she
replied, and those were the only terms
on which he could get back his dia-
monds. Now this astute young lady is
