Modern Greek peasants exchange q
gold and silver wedding ring, and they
drink wine from the same cup. But the
dams that solemn betrotnal precedes the
actual marriage, in which are used gold
and silver wedding rings blessed by
the priest, the gold ring being given to
the man, the silver ring to the woman.
The form of the espousal is thep repeat
ed, and the rings are placed OH The right
hands and then exchanged that no in
feriority may be betokened by the wom-
an wearing the silver ring and also to
Indicate q common ownership of prop
erty.
An Armenian mother usually chooses
her daughters husband. After all bust
ness preliminaries are settled between
the families the bridegroom's mother,
accompanied by a priest and two ma
irons, visits the bride and gives her a
ring in token of espousal, and with this
ring the couple are ultimately married.
Among the fishing communities very
ancient and elaborate rings are used,
and they descend as heirlooms from
generation to generation.
In Japanese marriages arranged be-
tween very young people the girl re-
ceives a ring in evidence that the union
is binding. In Malabar an old native
custom seats both bride and bridegroom
on a dais, and a relative washes the
feet of the bridegroom with milk and
puts a silver ring on the great toe of the
right foot. He then hands a gold ring
to his kinsman, and a necklace and
chaplet of flowers are put on the BRIDES
neck and head.-LOndon Mail

The Indian of the plains is a far more
picturesque individual than his brother
or cousin of the coast. He does not erect
totem poles and has no timber for the
purpose if so inclined. but he is suffi-
GENTLY spectacular himself without re.
sorting to grotesque carvings and paint
ed wood. His saddle, with its leather
hangings and wooden stirrups, is in
itself a remarkable aggregation, and
when set off with his goods and chat
tells tied in bags, rags, strings and
Straps, the effect is remarkable. He
wears the east off garments of his white
brother in such original combinations
that he looks like the personification of
a secondhand store. Sometimes the
adoption Of a pair Of guernseys as al
external covering gives him quite an
athletic appearance. He wears his hair
in Gertrude braids, and prefers ear.

IN ITALY.

The recent bread riots in Italy are be,
lieved to be simply mutterings before
the storm. The trouble is the people
are o~vertaxed. A great part of their
earnings is taken by the government.
AS times go by the crisis approaches,
and the end is likely to be the same as
in the American revolution. Many men
and women try to do too much. They
overtax their system as governments
overtax their subjects. Then comes a
breakdown. The stomach, kidneys,
liver and nerves are affected. What is
required is a medicine like Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to restore the strength
and build up new and healthy tissues.
All druggists will supply it, and the
sufferer will be astonished after taking
it to see how quickly it acts.

TOiLERS OF THE AIR.
How the Work on q Suspension Bridge Il
Done.

How tho Work on q Suspension Bridge Il
Done.
The workmen on the cables follow
closely after the builders of the iron
roadway. These men are engaged in
more perilous employment, if anything,
than the former. They climb nimbly
mp to the very summit of the huge tow
ers, and then without flinching proceed
to descend the inclined cables. 1t makes
the spectators below tremble for them,
SO dangerous is the descent, but the
workmen have no fear, else they would
be untitled for the duty required of
them. After sliding down the cable a
dozen feet, they stop and turn around
and face the towers. The men working
the derrick slowly swing out to them
the end of q cable about three inches in
diameter. Another man carries out to
them by means of a small hand pulley
and rope u redhot band of steel, which
the cable workers seize with their
pinchers and clasp around the large cable
on which they are resting. Then while
the steel is still hot and malleable, the
small cable, with its end secured in q
thick bolt of steel, is brought into posi-
ton, and the end welded into the red
hot steel band encircling the main ca
BILE. The workmen pound and forge
away, hammering, twisting and bend
ing the metal before it cools off. The
welding must be done rapidly, and the
workmen have no time to stop and think
of the dangerous position i'll which they
are placed. Probably the only support
they have comes from their legs, which
they wind tightly around the cable, as
they swing their arms and upper part
Of the body with violent exertion.
When this cable is forged into it's
place, the workmen take a few moments
Of rest, and then slide down to the next
joint, where the same operation is re-
peated. Cable after cable is attached in
this way until there is a regular tangle
Of steel work and dangling cables, look
ing for all the world like Il spiders web.
But there is order in this colossal spider
web such as never existed in the home
Of the insect that weave the webs in
u homes and woods. Gradually one
part Of the bridge after another is fin
ished, and when the false work" of
scaffolds is removed the structure stands
out in all the beauty of it's finished state.
The bridge builders must not only be
skilled in their work, but they must
have the hardihood and daring of the
sailor, for most of their work is per-
formed at an altitude higher than the
topmast OF any sailing vessel. They la
Dor in all kinds of weather-when the
sui is pouring down its torrid rays in
midsummer or when the mercury regis
ters zero in winter.
To them their dizzy height is no more
than the Is or 20 feet are to the ordi-
nary carpenter or house painter. They
seldom use ladders. They would be con-
stantly in the way. If they want to
reach q higher framework, they climb
nimbly up the steel works or jump
lightly acros from one truss to another.
A jump Of three feet from girder to
girder is a commonplace occurrence to
them. --George E. Walsh in Godey's
Magazine,

THE BREATH OF AReurus.

What Is 1t in the summer air tonight
That brings me dreams of dear days long age
And memories of hearts that have for years
Been colder than the Alps eternal snow?
The dewy violet Of heavily blue,
The faint breath of arbutus on the air,
Bring sadly back those dear dead days
And one who told me I was fair.
We stood mid the flowers. dewy, sweet,
My hero in his coat of loyal blue.
He kissed my tears away ard said: Farewell
Ny country needs me, dear, more than de
you"
There came a day. The sun refused to shine.
High heaven tried to wash away the - in.
Night spread her mantle gently DER the field
The south wind moaned a requiem for the
slain.
Back in a corner Of the garnet dark
There stands an oaken chest, and buried deer
Within 1t lies a package worn and old,
But when it's ashes still my heart will keep
In sacred memory the love that gave
To me the sweet arbutus, faded, dead,
But gave to God and country all he had
And in the southland found u narrow bed.
IT'S this the south wind watts to me tonight
Fond mem'ry Is the harp DER which she
plays
The gentle breath of sweet arbutus flowers
And tender thoughts of unforgOtten days.
