BRIDAL ATTIRE.

Notwithstanding the intellectual prog
ress Of the nineteenth century, superstf-
tious belief still has a hold and more
than a few of these gather about love
and marriage. Our maidens affect not
to the superstitious, but many of the be-
iefS of past centuries are Venerated
quite as much today, if 1t were but
known. The bride is always foremost Of
interest, and In order to secure long life
and happiness, popular belief holds that
she must bear in mind a number Of
things. For instance, if she wishes to
secure good fortune, she must wear upon
her wedding day, without fall:
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something
blue"
To allow another woman to take the
engagement, or wedding, ring from her
finger IS equivalent to relinquishing the
man of her heart. To drop the wedding
ring during the ceremony is supposed to
bring unhappiness to the welded pairs

THE SHADOW.
One sunny day a child went Maying-
When 10, while mid the zepi1yrs playing
He saw his shadow at his back.
He turned and fed, but on his track
The seeming golden came apace,
And step for step gave deadly chase!
The urchin paused and faced the fright
When 10, the demon. thin and gray.
Faded amid the grass away!
'Tis thus in life-when shadows chase,

What seemed fend in fear arrayed,
Sinks at our feet a harmless shade.
AFTER SCHOOL.
Just look upon the group of boys,
When, at the word. 'tThe school is done"
They rush to liberty and fun
R Pc they run, and jump and leap,
Until you wonder by what token
They 'scape with heads and limbs I'M
broken.
Bold reckless, cunning. cool, or sly,
What won't they do? what won't they
try?
They're up to every kind of scheme,
To test their strength and let off steam.
'Tis an epitome of life,
Without it's shades of care and strife;
Each has his private joke, and cracks
it.
Regardless how the other takes it.
And there's the point-boys take rough
jokes
More pleasantly than older folks,
Not needing much what's said or done,
So they can have their fill of fun.

IRON WORKS.

A colonial charter was granted and
company was formed for the manu-
facture of iron in New England in 1913
John Winthrop Jr. and others raised
money in England for the establishment
of the works. A beginning was made
this year at Saugus, now Lynn. Mass.
The name Hammersmith was bestowed
upon the place, because several of the
workmen had come from that town in
England. Among these workmen was
Joseph jerks, who las been called 1.-THE
first founder who worked in brass and
iron on the Western contiaent" A quart
pot was the first article turned out and
it has been preserved in the family of
Thomas Hudson, upon whose lands the
iron works stood. A similar forge was
established very little later by the
same company at Braintree. Mass
These works began To meet the dersa nd
for iron ware and tools Their material
was bog iron ore, found In the lowlands
of the vicinity.

New Basis for. Church Mem
b ers h IN.

4
DR.. mcfarland, pastor of the Congre-
gational church Of Maiden. Mass, has
adopted a new basis for church member
ship. The first change provides for the
enrolment of all baptized children upon
the membership book of the church. The
new article reads as follows, and might
well be initiated in other churches:
Children baptized by the church shall
be enrolled as members, with the IN
derstanding that such relation shall ba
continued until they indicate a desire
either for a formal acceptance or for
dissolution Of the relation. The list of
such members shall be kept distinct from
that of the adult members, but they shall
be considered as members under the care
of the church. This list shall
also include those previously baptized
elsewhere who shall be presented by their
parents" Secondly, regarding the adnis-
sion of all candidates, in place of the
old clause charging the church COMMITTEES
with the examination of such candidates,
a new rule establishes all examinations
of the candidate as a private matter and
in the hands Of the pastor. Thirdly, In
place Of the old and detailed confession
of faith a new and simpler basis of
membership has been adopted, as fol-
lows:
I believe in God, the loving Father of
the race
1 believe in the universal brotherhood
of man, as taught by Jesus Christ.
believe in Jesus Christ as the SUI
preme Revealer OF divine character. as

hual Guide, and the Redeemer of men

to give myself to its service. to work
for it's up-building. and to walk with all
it's members and with all men in a spirit

Foolish Man BuiIded.
The Epworth league topic for the week
beginning April II, is found in Matthew
vii, 24-7. 1t relates to the wise man
who built his house upon a rcck. and
the foolish man who built his home
upon the sand. 1t so happens that col
lapsing houses still tumble into ruins
and wreck hopes and happiness of own
ers and friends. The difficulty is that
some still believe sand is preferable to
rock as foundation. Others mistake sand
for rock, and still others never gave a.
thought to the matter and are surprised
20 learn that it makes any difference on
what foundations are laid To build
firmly it is not necessary to know all
the varieties Of sand which should be
avoided, knowledge of wickedress is
never wisdom. Experience of vice never
assists in attainment of virtue. Sowing
wild oats never prepared a field for
wheat
This sermon on the mount shows what
is bedrock for character Whole-souIed
reverence for divine things is one ele-
ment, unwavering confidence in divine
protection another: unselfsh friendship
for ones fellows and answering fidelity
to conviction are others. Tell me the
prime essentials of Christian manhood.

foundations of human success.

purity or chastity, is the favorate color
for bridal attire; while yellow and green
are the most unlucky shades possible,
signifying jealousy, inGdelity and general
unhappiness. The aversion is reversed

The Wedge on Trial
Meeting Of Council.

The city council held special meet
ing in the city hall last evening to con-
slider the Wedge question. In the abb
sence OF City Recorder Nat Hawke City
Attorney Roscoe Dale acted as clerk.
The petition OF Congress street mer-
chants to remove block 206 OF the Wedge
had been in the hands of committee
Of which Councilman Russell was chair
man. This committee reported favor
ably to the action and after debate the
report was adopted. To carry out the
intent OF this report, an ordinance was
passed. as prepared by the city attorney
providing for the removal OF block 20e
and an assessment OF property holders
benefited, to pay the cost. A motion
was passed instructing the City Attor-
ney to petition the District Court TO ap-
point commissioners to levy an equal as
sessment on the property benefited by
the removal. This shows block 206 in
litigation in the same manner as block
207, and it is probable that they will be
considered together. II the Conrt takes
favorable action both blocks of the
Wedge will be removed by the same
proceedings. As it is the matter now
rests on the District Court.
