morning before o'clock We are
standing in the broadcast street of the
city near the incompatible Kremlin
and opposite a gigantic gateway, I'M

colored marbles with blue pyramiGal
roof flanked with golden stars. Every
passer-by faces the chapel, uncovers
himself, and solemnly makes the sign
of the cross several times. Even the
passengers on the crowded double
decked horse cars go through this
strange ceremony. Here comes a
gang of dusty laborers. Every one of
them stops, and, bowling low towards
the chapel, crosses himself again.
There are somelong-haired long-gawn-

with their faces pressed against the

The Roer husband and father is content

The Boer husband and father is content
with his home life; he only desires his
pipe to cheer the passing hour, and to this
he devotes himself with the same assidu-
ity that his wife bestows upon her polish
ing. 1t is his constant companion The
wife and daughters find almost their sole
diversion in dancing. Their only musical
instrument is a crudely constructed violin.
It serves its purpose, and they delight in
it's weird music. On the slightest pretext
they arrange for a dance ball party,
which lasts for "a hours, with intervals for
rest. The young men and women gather
from miles around, many making two
days journey for the sake of a few hours
of pleasure.
OF travel for other social purposes or Tor
sightseeing there is little. Sons and daugh-
tiers of old land holders marry and settle
down near their parents.
BY a peculiar way of wearing silver
comb a Boeress indicates her condition in
life as maiden, wife or widow. To the po-
sition of this comb is due the amount of
attention bestowed upon her at the Sun
day church services. The matches are
mostly all arranged here, and when a de-

poor peasants from afar, with black

PROSTATE themselves fiat upon the

in vain, in the throng for some one

Origin of tho Wedding Ring.

According to legend, Jupiter sent to
Prometheus in honor of his deliverance
by Hercules a ring in which was set n
piece of the stone to which Prometheus
had formerly been bound in chains.
In northern mythology the ring sym
bolizes the bridge from this world to
the next, or, according to another idea.
the rainbow symbol OF eternity. Hence
1t is plain that from most ancient
times the ring was a symbol Of remem
brance and eternal recollection. Since
the earliest days of Christianity the
ring has been a precious pledge OF
faithfulness, the talisman OF two souls
forming sacred life union. The Gus
tom OF wearing the wedding ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand goes
back for its origin to the Egyptians.
from whom the Greeks borrowed the
custom and handed it on to the Rom
ans. The fourth finger was dedicated
to Apollo. the sun god. and gold was
an additional symbol of the sun. Be
sides, it was believed that Apollo's
finger was connected by a nerve di-
rectly with the heart, and it was most
appropriate that the sign of the low
ing union should rest on this finger.
