Hundreds of years ago. as far back
as the sixth and not later than the
twelfth century, II was the custom in
Ireland and other Christian countries
to build tall narrow towers close to
many OF the churches 1t is not known
for certain why they were erected. but
II Is supposed that, besides being used
for religious purposes, they afforded
shelter for priests and people In times
of danger. After bells had been intro
duced they were sometimes hung in
these towers. The round towers were
mostly from eighty to a hundred feet
high, and usually crowned with a
peaked roof. Tn " were lighted by
small windows, and the ascent from
story to story was made by means
OF ladders. As matter OF safety, the
door was placed at considerable dis
lance from the ground. Above a hun
dred OF these towers. more or less per-
feet. are still to be found in various
parts OF Ireland.

The announcement that the Mer-
chants Club is about to establish a
company with 100000 capital to loan
money in small sums on collateral Sc
curity at fair rate OF interest will be
hailed with Joy by many poor people,
some OF whom are now obliged to pay
at the rate OF 100 per cent year for
small sums Of money. The movement
to prevent the necessities OF the poor
being made the profit Of usurers began,
so far as this country Is concerned, in
Boston in 1909. The original assocla-
tion Is still In existence as the Collat-
eral Loan Company, 1853 fremont
street Loans are made as low as fifty
cents. The rate Of interest charged is
1Is per cent month. At Beacon
street, Boston, is the Workingman's
Loan Association. This association
charges interest on Its loans at the rate
OF per cent a month. It reports that
over four-hfths Of all loans made by II
are repaid, and It's losses are compare
lively trivial. Both these associations,
though originally started as charities,
pay an annual dividend OF per cent
TO stockholders, In New York the first
start In this direction was made by the
81. Bartholomew Mission and the
various church settlements. With the
last few years, however number OF
wealthy men have organized compa-
niles which loan money on chattels at
fair rates OF interest. They also have
found the investment profitable. In
many European countries there are
pswnshops conducted by the govern
ment.

BIBLES FOR FlLIPINos.
Translated Into Four Languages for
Use of the Natives.

Recent events have stirred the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society to some
prompt feats OF translation, and por-
lions OF the new testament In no less
than four tongues are in preparation
for the Philippines. The first three
gospels and the acts in Tagalog. the
language OF the dominant native race
there, are actually printed; st. Luke's
gospel in Ilocono Is nearly finished.
and the same book in Bicol Is ready
for issue. These renderlngs, It ap-
pears, are largely due to the energy OF
the society's agent In Madrid, Rev. r.
o. Walker, who secured the collabora-
ton OF some exiled Fillplnos Almost
the whole testament has been trans
lated into Pangasinan. Another nota-
BILE undertaking is the printing Of St.
Johns gospel in Lusoga, for use In
those districts east OF the Nile. This
version has been made by Rev. IT.,
Rowling OF the Church Missionary So
oiety, and is regarded for many philo-
logical reasons as an interesting addi-
ton to the 400 or so of languages and
dialects in which the sacred books are
circulated from Queen Victoria street.

Indemnity In 1870.

Indemnity In 1870.
The ease with which France paid ths
great indemnity exacted by Germany
at the close OF the war Of 1870 aston
ished the world. The same ability to
discharge a forced obligation was wit
messed at the close of the Napoleonic
wars, when the allied armies occupied
France. Savarln explains that the ease
was made possibly through gluttony.
which, he says, France alone can thor
oughly satisfy. In 1915, after the
treaty OF peace, It was estimated that
that nation in various ways paid to
Its conquerors the sum of 1900 900 900
francs. II was feared that these forced
payments would bankrupt the coun-
try. Subsequent events proved that
these fears were chimerioal. Not only
tho original amount assessed against
the French came back to them, but
very much more, through the gluttony
OF their vanquishers. The foreign ar
mics that invaded France brought
with them fierce voraelty and stom-
achs OF uncommon capacity. Once they
had tasted OF the delights of French
food, their ordinary rations were re-
Jected, and the great sums Of money
that had come into their possession Of
fered a means for the complete sat
isfaction OF their appetltes. Paris be-
came, on q sudden, an immense refec-
tory. The invaders ate everywhere, In
eating-houses. in cookshops. inns. tav-
ems, drinking dens, and In the streets.
They gorged themselves with flesh.
fish, game. pastries, fruits, and truf-
fes. When they drank II was with
avidlty and OF the most expensive
wines. The purveyors made fortunes.
One Nine. Sullot, who had a little
shop in the Palais Royal only ~ feet
square. sold 10000 petit pates every
day. To the rank and file and most
Of the officers Of the invading armies
the delights OF French cookery were
revelation. When they returned to
their homes their tales OF eplcurean
bliss excited their hearers. This led
TO great pilgrimage to France OF civ
ilian gluttons from all parts OF Eu-
rope, and made Of Paris a gastronomic
Mecca for a quarter OF century or
more. 1t was estimated that through
this pandering to the stomachs OF
strangers France not only regained the
original amount OF the indemnity, but
as much again. That experience. so
far as eating is concerned, can never
be repeated, for from 1915 to 1910 the
French cuisine was at its period Of
cumulative achievement. The indem-
nifty exacted In 1870 has been returned
to France mainly through the pur-
chase of decorative equipment by the
women of all nations.-Sun.

Gen. Rios Informs His Government that thu
Situation In the Philippines is
Most Grave.

Madrid, Jan. 12.-Gen. Rios, the
Spanish commander cables from Ma
Mia reiterating the assertion that the
situation in the Philippines is most
grave. The rebels, ii appears, are con-
centrating in the neighborhood of
Manila with the intention of attack
ing that place. Great preparations are
being made for the defense of the city.
The Spanish general also asserts that
the natives of the Nizayas have again
refused to permit the Americans to
land, threatening to resist by force if
an attempt is made to do so. The
Americans, therefore, according to
Gen. Rios, have abandoned the idea of
disembarking, and he confirms a pre-
vious statement to the effect that they
are unwilling to lombard Iloilo. be
cause the European houses are stocked
with petroleum with the view of being
set alight by the American Shells"
Gen. Rios alleges that the rebels are
determined to fight the Americans be-
fore achievements arrive from the
United States. In conclusion, Gen.
Rios says Aguinaldos proclamation

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Queer Old Customs That Are
Still Observed In other
Lands.

Giving wedding presents is an old
custom, but the custom differs in differ
ent countries. Scotland's penny we'd
dings were peculiar They were called
penny affairs, but the invited guests
contributed shillings, and occasionally
q half crown, and out of the sums thus
collected the expenses of the wedding
feast were paid. Germany has pay
wedding" at which the bride receives
her guests with basin before her, in
which each person entering deposits a
Jewel, a silver spoon or a piece of
money. In some parts of Germany the
rule Is that the expenses of the mar
rage feast shall be met by each guest
paying for what he eats and drinks-a
sort of European plan wedding, you
might call it.
The prices paid for dishes and drinks
are high, and the happy young couple
make a handsome profit out of their
wedding, often realizing a sum sufii-
cient to start them pretty nicely in
life. Often 300 guests are present at
such wedding. Sometimes the flow of
presents is in the other direction. In
Poland, for instance, girl is not re-
garded eligible for marriage until she
has wrought with her own hands cloth
and garments for the friends who will
accompany her future lord to the al
tar. But in most countries the wedding
present system is similar to that which
Is familiar here, and which has become
q serious tax.
The following are some of the queer
customs connected with the wearing of
bridal wreaths:
The German bride wears the myrtle
for her bridal wreath, while the girl Of
the Black Forest adorns herself with
the flowers of the hawthorn. In France
and England and in the United States
the orange flower is in vogue, while the
maidens of Italy and the French prov
inces of Switzerland use white roses.
Pinks, carnations and red roses are
worn by Spanish brides. In Lithunia
the bridal wreath is wound of the
Syrian rue; on the Ionian islands, the
grape vine; in Bohemia, Corinthia and
the Krain districts, of rosemary, and in
Hesse, of artificial flowers, to which
ribbons are added. In Norway, Sweden
and Servia bridal crowns are made of
silver; in Bavaria and Silesia, of gold
wire, glass beads and tinsel; among
he Fins, the Wends and the peasants
Of Altenburg, of paper, and in Athens
of costly filigree. Bridal wreaths were
in vogue among the pagans, and were
introduced among Christian brides dur
ing the fourth century.-Washington
Star.
