Mr.. Bryan in his contribution to the North
American Review does not hedge upon any Of
the issues Of the last campaign. His faith IN
his own policies does no, seem to have been
shaken in the least by the lack Of confidence
in him expressed by the people on Nov. 9th.
Another thing he makes sure, is that the Dem
ocratic leaders, who talk of reorganizing the
party and eliminating the candidate who has
twice brought defeat upon his party, are a lit
tie premature or over.sanguine, Notwith-
standing the majori,ies recorded against Bry-

Mayfiowers on Cape Cod.

At Cape Cod, and not far from
where former President Cleveland has
his famous summer ,home at Buzzard'S 8
Bay, the inhabitants have an odd oc-
cupation. When the first fragrant
buds of the trailing arbutus. or May
flower, appear on the hillsides of the
big cape the woods are fairly alive
with men, women and children, all in
search of the delicate flowers. They
are not out collecting because they are
charmed with the early blossoms, nor
do they wander through the woods
plucking wild blossoms for their health.
Their industry is strictly commercial,
for the Mayflower is a favorite in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
large cities of the East, and every
spring the woods are stripped of them
and they are packed in moss and
shipped to town, where they are sold
at high prices.
So regular is the demand for the
dainty, waXlike blossoms that profess
sional flower hunters make n business
of searching out the secret blooming
grounds of the arbutus, stake out their
claims as they would take up mining
claims every spring, and wait for the
blossom harvest. Gathering Mayfow-
ers has become one of the important
Industries of Cape Cod. - Providence

Omen About Wedding Rings.

Many believe that the loss of a
wedding ring means that the hus-
bands love will be lost in turn. If
the ring is broken the husband will
soon die. In Ireland it is general
belief that to rub sore with a golden
wedding ring will cause it to speedily
heal. The wedding ring is supposed
never to tarnish and dim. A wedding
ring should tit the finger If it is too
large it is n sign of shallowness of
purpose. If too tight, it is suggested
that the union pinches somehow. A
perfect-titting ring is symbolic of Il
perfectly harmonious union. Every
man may select the sentiment to be
engraved in his brides ring. The
grOom's initials and the brides in
itials, followed by the wedding date.
is most frequently the inscription.
But there are many beautiful senti-
ments. and individuality and origin
ality in regard to these notices arc
becoming very popular. The date is
always engraved in the wedding ring.

Ball bearings, which first became
generally familiar through their use in
bicycle bearings. have now become
part of innumerable mechanical con-
trivances. Wherever it is desired to
reduce friction to a minimum, or to
obtain particularly easily movable
part a ball bearing is introduced, so
that they are found in everything
from a car axle to chair castor. In
ventors have racked their brains in an
endeavor to find new adaptions of this
principle and one of the most recently
evolved is ball-bearing chain.
The links are provided mt one end
with aconcave, or hollow, rounded seat
IN which the steel ball is placed. The
lnterlocking link engages with and
bears upon this ball, this position being
maintained by shoulders or abutments.
By such means Il particularly flexible
chain is obtained and one which can
be used for a great variety of purposes
where it is desired to keep the chain in
motion and where the energy to do
this is Il factor to be considered
