expenses. Since then the duties on
imports and the ordinary internal
revenue taxes had brought into the

own Judgment, following the shading
OF the drawing AZ nearly as possible.
The petals are of bright yellow. In
painting them use silver yellow and
mixing yellow. The cups of the flow
ers are tinged with deep yellow, and
should be shaded at the base as well
as the leaves with brown green.
The foliage of this plant is naturally
stiff, and is of a rich green tone. Use
grass green, apple green and brown
green in painting this. 1t is always
well to use combination of greens
rather than a single shade, as in ma
ture one finds that leaves are quite va
ried on the same plant. The effect of
work thus executed is much more pro-
fessional in appearance, a point all
china painters aim to attain.-N. b.

FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
A Custom That Dates Back to tho
Reign of Hugues Capet.

Reign OF Hugues Capet.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet,
king of France in 0S7, says Vogue.
Once, as Hugues was arranging his
uncle's affairs, he found on one of the
estates servant who had grown gray
in the service of his relative. He had
been such friend of his masters that
he was almost looked upon as one of the
family.
On the farm with this old man was
also serving woman who was as old
as he, and also unmarried, and who had
been the must devoted ord hasd ~~o-is
ing of the women servants of the kings
uncle. When the king heard these
praises of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him, and said TO the
woman:
"Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than man.
and therefore will give you reward.
At your age know of none better than
dowry and husband. The dowry
is here-this farm from this time forth
belongs to you. If this man who has
worked with you five and twenty years
is willing to marry you, then the hus-
band is ready"
"Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant, confusedly, show is 1t possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?"
"Thcn it shall be silver wedding"
answered the king, "and here Igive you
wedding ring" drawing costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to.
gether.
This soon became known all over
France, and raised such enthusiasm
that it became n fashion after 20
years marriage to celebrate a silver
wedding.

VIRTUES OF THE TURQUOISE.



The turquoise is especially rich in vir-
.ues. The Germans claim that by lis
varying shades it turns tell-tale on the
caprices and moods Of its wearer. Car
dau, the renowned Italian physician
and philosopher, asserted that tur-
luoise mounted and worn as a finger
ring secured horseman from all in
jury, and added with commendable eau
ton that he had "a beautiful turquoise
given him as a keepsake, but he never
tested its virtues, not caring for the
sake of the experiment to risk his life"
Shakespeare also gives these lines to
Shylock: "IIe would not have lost his
turquoise ring for whole wilderness
cf monkeys" An old book written by
Cnmilius Leonardus tells much of inter-
est about jewels, and names number
OF stones that either are no longer
found, else were creations of the au-
thor's imagination This is most
probable when we read Leonardus de-
scription of the aecoria, which, he
says, not alone renders a man invisible,
but being held in the mouth allaps
thirst" The aIecoria, he further states,
is to be found only in the intestines
of a capon that has lived seven years
when the stone has become perfect"
to quote this authority, "the capon does
not drink" However, it is never larger
than a large bean. Again, he tells of
the bozoar, "red, dusty, brittle and
light stone" which is taken from the
body of some animal, and is infallible
against melancholy. He credits Queen
Elizabeth with wearing a bozoar, and
Charles V. had four of them. The four
rings, however, of most historical in
tcrcst were those presented by Pope In
nocent TO King John. The monarch
was urged TO note with extreme care
the shape of the rings, their number,
color ard matter. The number four,
being a square, typitied frmness OF
mind, fixed steadfastly on the four
cardinal virtues. The blue color of
the sapphire denoted faith; the green
of the emerald, hope; the crimson of
the ruby, charity, and the splendor of
the topaz, good works. The rings them
selves represented eternity, with Meth.
er beginning nor end; gold, Which was
the matter, and, according to Solomon,
the most precious of Jeetals, Hgnifed
wisdom, more to be desired than richer
and power.-Table Talk.

And now 1t all came back to me, and
made me restless and unhappy, lived
once more through those ugly scenes,
but the actors were no longer the char
acters in the book, but Hedwig, her
husband and the pale girl, who attract
ed me more and more, so that finally 1
could not take my eyes from her.
In spite of everything, / felt sorry
for her. saw the increasing emotion
in her face, and her large eyes--I could
no longer doubt it--were wet with
tears; at times she turned and pulled
handkerchief stealthily out of her
pocket. With all that she appeared en-
ergetic, as though she were able to do
something desperate if occasion de-
manded it.
Just then the couple exchanged rings.
My excitement grew. My stout neigh
Dor, too, seemed to become restless; she
fidgeted about in her seat, felt in her
pocket and then quietly moved nearer
the young girl. She pulled her sleeve,
bent down and spoke softly but earnest
ly to her.
Although tried hard I could not un-
derstand word. l only saw that she
made signs which evidently concerned
the bridal pair, and that the girl an
swered her by shaking her head.
There was still some time Of painful
expectation, which was in reality short,
but which seemed an eternity to me,
while | tried in vain to fathom the mys-
terry. Then the ceremony was ended
and all crowded toward the door.
I, ahead of all, hastened to approach
the bridal couple. That wished to con-
gratulate Hedwig had entirely escaped
my memory at this moment. Imust not
lose moment to turn away the threat
ening evil.
Although my vague fear drove me on,
my two neighbors were ahead of me.
The older woman pushed herself for
ward with an elasticity which was sur.
prising in one so stout, elbowing her
way along and leaving the younger
woman to follow. l now saw clearly
that she was trying to reach the bridal
pair. AS quickly as | could l followed
her, and, gathering all my courage and
strength together, took her by the
shoulders.
She shook herself free without look
ing around. Another step and she stood
close before the groom and stealthily
gave him something which she had
taken from her pocket My heart beat
madly and things began to swim before
my eyes.
Then | heard my name, and Hedwig
threw her arms around me and hid her
laughing face on my shoulder
"Just think, auntie," she whispered
in my ear, she had forgotten his hand'
