STORY OF THE wEDD1Ne-R1Ne.
Around IL Cluster Many Curious Cere-
monies and Beliefs which Date
Dnck Centuries Agone.

The wedding ring is made OF gold OF
the purest quality. signifying how no
BILE and durable is our affection. Next,
in form the ring Is round. symbol Of
eternity, implying that our regard shall
be without end Why Is this golden
circlet worn on tho third finger of the
left hand? Because among the an
clients it was thought that there was
vein in that finger that came directly
from the heart, and the custom has sur
vived the ages and come down TO US
from remote antiquity. But there are
other reasons why il should be worn on
this finger; Because being finger
least used IL may be least subject to be
worn out, and because it's distinct
purpose Is that it is to be the visible,
lasting token Of solemn covenant
which must never be forgotten. II has
been'suRgested, also, that the form, be-
ing round and without end, imports
that mutual love shall flow from one TO
the other. as in q circle, and that con
tinually and forever.
Sometimes wedding rings were of
gemel pattern, and occasionally be-
trothal rings were broken in two, one
half of which was retained by each
party SO that on the marriage day the
pieces may be joined. Accord
ing TO Rev. Charles Wheatley, the COM
mentator on the Book OF Common
Prayers, the reason why a ring was Sc
lected MS a pledge ir preference TO any
other thing was because among the
ancieuts rings we're used as seals.
With them all valuable goods were
sealed. and all important documents
were signed; thus the delivery OF a
ring became the sign OF highest trust
and closest friendship. Consequently
it was but natural that ring should
be selected to symbolic the admission
OF wife to her husbands counsels,
and signify that thenceforth She
shared his honor and estate
According to Seldcn the wedding ring
came into use among the Jews after
they found ii had been adopted by
other races. Some authorities claim
that 1t was given at one time instead OF
dowry The English-speaklng races
trace the use OF the plain gold band as
a pledge OF wcdlocL TO traditionary
practice Of the saNons. - Frank Al

POWERS CLAY BANK.
which VIII Net Him Ten Dollars
Ton PrOdt.

The New England farmer who owns
bank of white aluminous clay that Is
free from grit, and capable of being
ground to n fine mass of white powder,
has no need Of going TO the Klondike
or seeking other fields for wealth. be-
cause the paper makers will take all
the clay he can produce and pay him
$40 to Sl2 n ton for the same and thank
him for the privilege. Henry Powers.
OF Camden, Ne, who owns q small
farm near Mount Megunticook and
sells pickling cucumbers in the Boston
market for one dollar a barrel, thinks
he has discovered one of these much
sought clay mines at the back end of
his lot in damp, Doggy place, which
will not grow cucumbers.
It was the desire for more cucum-
bers that led TO the discovery. Bowers
was dltching his bog land to draw off
the water one day In June, and when
he had gone through some three feet
of black muck his spade ran deep into
a hard white clay that was tough to
cut and which shook like jelly when
agitated. Having worked in a paper
mill in Orono for two winters and
knowing that the makers of white pa
per used about % per cent. of a Ger
man clay in their stock, he took some
of his mineral home and dried II In the
oven of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispelled he ground the
mass In the family coffee mill and sent
a few pounds of the powder to large
paper mill In Berlin Falls, n. II. In
about a week he received word that
the sample he had forwarded was as
good as the best that could be had IN
Europe and that the company would
pay him S12 a ton for all he could
produce. As the total cost of digging
drying. grinding and boxing the clay
does not exceed two dollars a ton, and
as there are 100000 tons Of 1t on the
Bowers place, the finder has high hopes
of becoming a millionaire, and will al
once start in to build up his fortune.
Until -four years ago agalite was tn,
only clay material that could be EN-
ployed in making white paper. Late
a deposit of white clay was found il
South Carolina which has been largel,
used as a substitute for the importe,
article. The South Carolina produc
sells for eight dollars a ton, Will
agalite commanded Sl5. AS the Cam
den clay is said TO be as good as tn
best, it will no doubt come into genera
use. Both the Camden and the Soutl
Carolina products are composed o
lime and alumina, and eontain no san
} of any kind. The clay found in camde
is much the whittier, making It yer
| valuable TO paper makers.-N. y. SUI
