vur,os1t1e. In wedding Rings.

Among the curosities of wedding rings
it is on record that in the early days
rings were made of rusbes. Perhaps the
most curious material used for rings re-
quired on an emergency is the case Of
one being hurriedly made by cutting it
out of the finger of glove and another
cut out of a visiting card. Many cases
are on record of rings made of brass and
iron being used, as also curtain rings
and door keys being pressed into service
at weddings. The Quakers and Swiss
Protestants do not use rings at their mar
riage ceremonies. The Irish people have
strong objection to any but gold rings.
In St kilda wedding rings are made Of
worsted. The women of the upper Ba-
yanzi, on the Kongo, wear their wedding
rings around their necks. These rings
are made of thick brass rods, which are
made into great rings and strongly weld
ed together. The more wealthy the hus-
band the heavier the ring. In some cases
they weigh 30 pounds.

Coco balanced himself and with one paw
seized the birds tail and pulled out all

The bird screamed, and the monkey
laughed, but the laugh was suddenly cut
short. The bird, at first stupefed by the
sudden attack, quickly recovered itself.

As he limped sorrowfully home he was

loss by planning the fine revenge they
would have.
"No, no.' said Coco. They might cut
off the little that remains of my tail the
next time"
The lesson had been profitable. The

remained short. And he was always sad.

Good Queen Margaret.

You have all heard of William the Con
queror and how he defeated King Harold
and the SaNons and made himself king
of England. The rightful heir to the
throne, Edgar Atheling. was obliged to
flee from the country with his sisters.
They intended to take refuge in Norway.
but were shpwrecked in the firth of
Forth, where little bay is still named
after them. They were kindly received
by the good King Malcolm of Scotland.
and not long afterward one of the sisters,
Margaret, became the much loved queen
Of King Malcolm Canmore.
Many interesting stories are told Of
Queen Margaret's goodness how she
cared for and did all the good she could
for the people, of her learning, her books,
her husbands devoted assistance given to
her building of churches and plans of be-
neyolence-but one little story is all 1
shall tell just now.
Once, when crossing river by ford

her danger. cried out to her faithful and
brave rescuer, Grip hard!" (hold fast.
This is still the motto of noble Scottish
family.

were many things to make Christmas
dinner enjoyable.
Christmas day here in the Philippines
could not have been more perfect. The
weather was fine. In the morning there
were cooling breezes. and later the sun
poured its rays straight down. The
sentinels were kept busy in lodging the
heat and hunting the shade. All duty
not absolutely necessary was dispensed
with for the day. There were all kinds
of sports in the different commands A
great field day had been arranged to
be held on the Lunetta. but owing to
the unsettled state of affairs it was
postponed.
The natives celebrated Christmas
with many queer ceremonies. and with
them the joyful Pasco Dias was great

holiday as do no other people. They
have their holidays every week. but the
greatest Of all are Pasco Dias and holy
week To the Filipinos Christmas was
a week long. and there was another week
of preliminary rejoicing. For more than
a week before Christmas the early morn
ing hours here in Mauila were filled with
music. Bands paraded the streets in the
different parts of the city. The bells of
the great cathedrals rang out their mel
low monotones to awaken the people for
early mass.
Music was one of the principal features
connected with the native observance of
the holiday season. There are few peo-
pie more unsteady inclined than the Fill
pinos, and on all occasions music is n
principal feature with the natives. They
have all sorts of brass, string and reed
Instruments, and some of the latter are
most rude contrivances. They make

sequently of all pitches. At the holiday

American Monkey.
In South America there once lived a
young monkey named Coco, who spent
his time in playing pranks and even per-
petrating cruelties upon his friends and
neighbors in the forest. All the animals
feared him so much that they organized
picket service.
The birds took turns in perching upon
the high branches of the trees, and when
ever the young monkey made his appear
ance shrill cries of Look out, here comes
Coco resounded on all sides. So he
soon found himself deprived Of his accus-
toned pleasure-the plaguing and tortur-
ing Of animals smaller than himself.
One afternoon, however, he thought he
saw one of the sentinels asleep on the
branch of tree that overhung stream.
He stealthily approached, glancing from
right to left, but there was not cry of
alarm.
"At last shall avenge myself''
thought Coco.
He climbed noiselessly to the top Of the
tree and, hanging by the end of his tail,
let himself carefully down to the branch

is, had its good things for old and young.

and everywhere distributed good things
For week before Christmas figures
Enthusiastically dressed to represent Ju-
quotes were hauled through the streets
on decorated carts. Everywhere these
were followed by crowds of native chill
dren.
When the people of the Philippines
turn out to enjoy holiday, they are
clad in their best and ARREST attire, and
especially is this the case at Pasco sea-
son. Early on Christmas morning the
streets were filed with natives of all
ages and both sexes. The men were clad
in the customary ermine garment and
the women in bright colored frocks, with
an embroidered piece of pima around the
neck. The little pickaninnies were
dressed in tasty style, as Filipino styles
go, and were as happy as the rest.
The natives all attended the church
ceremonies. for with them, as with us,
these are the real features Of the day.
All through the holy week the church
festivities continued and ended only with
the advent of the new year.
With our soldiers the principal ques-
ton at Christmas time was as to going
home, for all were thoroughly tired of
soldering in the tropics. The bright
prospects for the speedy return of the
volunteer forces was another cause of
rejoicing and making merry. When
another year has passed and another
Christmas season is celebrated in Ma
Mia, this city and the Philippines will
have been brought more fully under
American influences and will have en-
barked upon new era.
