a Strange Marriage Custom.

1t Was an old idea that husband,
whose wife 1T her marriage was cloth
ed only il a sheet, or III the most Co.
mentary linen garment, was not in any
way liable for the debts previously
contracted by her. Our parish regis
ters and local traditions give us ample
Illustrations of this quaint idea. At
Chiltern All Saints, Wiltshire, is the
fOlloWing entry: John Bridmore and
Anne Selwood were married October
18th. TIA, the aforesaid Anne Selwocd
was married in her smock, without any
clothes or headgier on" Similar cases
occurred at Gorton Green in 1873, at
Ashton-under-Lyne in It'll, and at Of
ley in 1908.
The latest example Of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
eolnshire. The register Of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: dec. End,
1912, David Wilkinson, full age, bache~
lor, aborour, of Gedney," to "Susan
Farran, full age, widow, of Gedney"
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was
dressed in a sheet, stitched about her,
with holes cut for the passage of her
bare arms.-"Lore and Legend Of the
English Church."

A Pathetic PGrt1's.:t

There Is peculiar portrait in N'aSi.

istence. Its popularity is that every
year it has been changed to show tiis,
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait is by a
Washington artist and is that of his
wife and was painted many years ago
when she was a young bride. \ few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died, and so great was
the grief of the artist that he deter.
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time, and to do so he decided
that year by year he would change the
portrait SO as to make it grow old with
him..
Every year, on the anniversary Of
his wedding day, the artist locked him
self in his studio and changed the lines
Of the face Of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
Of one year. There have been many
anniversaries Of that marriage day
and consequently many changes in the
portrait. Today the picture is that of
an old woman, the hair turned gray,
the face wrinkled and pale, but still
beneath the marks Of time, as made
by the brush of the artist, can be seen
che early beauty Of the bride and the
attracriveness of the young woman

Clean Barber Shops.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is means Of
disseminating many affections which 4
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent. Many forms of alopecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean interventions Of
the barber. Some ready method of dis
injecting his tools Of trade should be
devised and it's use thoroughly en-
forced. The towels should invariab bly,
be boiled after use, instead of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
ures were taken and insisted on, under
suitable penalty, trichophytosis and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dermatologists would
miss many Of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-Internation

In Memory of Zeph Wood, Jr.

Again the grim messenger of death has visited our community and taken from our midst one of the most promising young men among us, in Mir. Zeph Wood, Jr. He was young man whom every one loved and respected, and he leaves, to mourn his loss, all who knew him. Always cheerful, kind, courteous, and a bright word for everyone; he was noble, high-minded and of a strong char acter. May God grant that he was prepared to go when God called, and that his guardian angel bouyed his soul up to the very throne of God, Is the prayer of all who knew him, both young and old. MT. Wood hadn't an enemy; he was of temperament to make friends, not to lose them. None knew him but to love and respect him. As Zeph is the first of the family to go, it is therefore much harder for the family to bear. The whole community joins in to extend to the bereaved family their condo lence and sympathy in this, their hour of bereavement.
 God has said, Take up thy cross and follow me. God grant that the untimely end of our young friend may be an example to all who knew him. Let us all live so

LET'S HEAR THEIR SIDE.

Senors Cervantes and Arnauto, editors of Fl Reconcentrado, the Havana newspaper suppressed by order of General Ludlow, should receive a considerate hearing Tn Washington, whither they are now bound to lay their case before tbe President.
 The bungling military and civil administration under General Brooke has resulted in getting af- fairs into very unsatisfactory shape in Cuba, especially with re- gard to the embittering of the Gu bans against the United States Government. That matters have reached that point where it has been thought necessary to begin the suppression of Cuban news papers is fact that will be de- plored by all right-thinklng peo- pie.
 It will be remembered that E. Reeoneentrado, representing the national independence sentiment in Cuba. was more than once SUD- pressed by order of General Wev- Ter, acting under tyrannical Span ish system. At that time. how ever, We of the United States in- variably commented upon the cir cumstances as an illustration of Spanish oppression, just as we then hailed all Filipino victories over Spain as the triumphs of a brave and liberty-loving people. It Is not pleasant now to see the United States Government assum- ing the Spanish attitude both to- ward Cuba and the Philippines.
 It is earnestly to be desired that the people of Cuba may soon be allowed to establish their own in- dependent Republic. if they do not desire annexation to the Unit ed States. The existing situation is forcing our own government in- to a false position. not the least unpleasing development of which is seen in the suppression of news papers in Cuba.-Republic.
