The BetrothnI Ring

The early history of the wedding
ring Is not easy to trace, as II was apt
to be confused with the betrothal ring.
This was once the more important OF
the two, for In the days of our forefa-
theirs the bctrothal was the great cere-
mony and marriage only the ratifiea-
ton of the contract. Then spouse
was betrothed person, and to espouse
was to be betrothed, The ceremony
OF espousal or betrothal was celebrat-
ed with all possible solemnity as the
contract of n future eternal bond of
love-" No doubt the reason for thus
solemni2lng an engagement was that
In times of violence and lawlessness
the church thought 1t needful to pro-
tect the woman and therefore made
the betrothal so sacred that viola tlon
of the contract was punished with ex-
communication. A betrothal service
was used, which still forms part of the
French and Italian ritual, and, indeed,
the first part of the Anglican mar
rlage rite down to the woman's 81

FACTS ABOUT sARDlNES.
The Greater Part OF This country's
Consumption Now Packed Hero.

Inc &renNcr fnrt OF This SountrS's
Consumption Now Packed Here.
Formerly the sardines consumed in
this country were all imported from
France. Now about three-quarters of
the sardines eaten in the United States
are put up here, the chief center of
the sardine industry In the United
States Icing the eastern coast of
Maine, though some sardines are now
put up ON the coast of California. The
packing of sardines In this country
was begun about 1886.
Thousands of people now find en-
ploymcnt in one part and another of
the work In catching fish, In making
cans and In canning aud packing and
marketing and SO on.
Sardlncs are put up In greater va
rlety than formely, there being now
adays sardines packed In tomato
sauce, sardines in mustard, spiced sar-
dimes and SO on, but the great bulk of
sardlnes both imported and domestic,
are sim put up In oil. Sardines are
put up also in greater variety of
packages than formerly, there -helng,
for example, various sizes and shapes
of oval tins, and some Franeh sar-
dimes are Imported In glass, but rs the
great bulk of all sardlnes are still put
up In OIL so the great bulk of them are
still put up in the familiar fiat boxes,
the great majority of these being of
the sizes known as halves and quar-
ters ana far the greater number Of
these being in quarters. Sardines are
packed 100 tins In n ease. and the con
sumption of sardines In this country
Is roughly estimated at from 100000
to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods of every descrlp.
ton, sardines are cheaper now than
they formerly were, and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the Import
ed. American sardnes are now ex-
ported from this country to the West
Indies and to South America. New

In spite of the most stringent Rus

done all over Siberia in gold, both dust

to be found in possession of gold; but
as SO large a proportion of the popula-

there for punishment, and the only
further punishment they have to fear
is deportation to some yet more distant
region of the same barren and joyless
land, the deterrent Is by no means so
formidable as Il mere perusal OF the
awful menaces of the statutes at first
