UNDER TWO FLhGS

'The man without a country" Is
generally regarded as an anomaly, but
there is something far stranger
p~ostofice that does business under two
flags. 1t is located at Beebe Plain..
a town that is half in the state OF
Vermont and half in the province of
Quebec. The building was erected
some seventy-ive years ago exactly
on the line between the United States
ana Canada, so that 1t stands in two
countries and serves the postal serv-
Ice of two nations.
The cellar OF the building connects
the two countries, and some years ago
when the postofice was a general
store, whisky was known to be sold
in one country and delivered in an
other without ever having gone out
from Under the roof of the old struc-.
ture. This combination %postoffice is
now being run by parent and child,
the father being postmaster for Can
adam Quebec and the daughter post
mistress for Vermont.
Standing in front of this strange
postoffice is a large post which marks
the boundary line, and it is said that
at one time a man who wanted to get
a roadway to his premises moved this
post, and many thousands of dollars
and no little time was spent in es-
t%ablishing the exact line again.

Two Gentlemen of Verona" where
Julia gives Proteus a ring, saying:
Keep you this remembrance for thy
Julia's sake" and he replies: why,
then, well make exchange. Here, take
you this"
The fourth finger Of the left hand
has from long usage been consecrated
to the wedding ring, from an ancient
belief that from this finger a nerve
went direct to the heart. So complete
ly was this fanciful piece of physiology
confded in by the Greeks and Romans
that their physicians term this the
medical or healing finger and used it
to stir their mixtures. from a notion
that nothing noxious could commune
cate with it without its giving imme-
date warning by a palpitation of the
heart. This superstition is retained in
full force in onl country places, not
ably in Europe, where all the fingers of
the hand are thought to be injurious
except the ring finger, which is thought
to have the power Of curing any sore or
wound which Is stroked by it.

THE WEDDING RING

Attached to the use of the ring in
wedding and other ceremonies from
the earliest times there have been mys-
tic meanings. Whether the plain band
or the m~otto-inscribed article which
the changing times brought into fash
ion, the ring has retained the signifi-
canoe attached to it as a sacred em-
blem or an emblem IMPLYING sacred
ceremonies. To the devoutly religious
or the careless scoffer at religion the
little cirelet has its charm.
From the earliest period mystic sig
nihcance has been associated with the
ring. In its circular continuity 1t was
accepted as a type of eternity and Of
the stability Of affection. The Jews
make 1t IN important feature of the
betrothal in the marriage ceremony.
The rings used in the Jewish marriage
rite were sometimes OF large size and
much elaboration of workmanship. 1t
is necessary, according to the Jewish
law, that the rings be of a certain val
ue. 1t is examined and certified by
the officiating rabbi and chief officers
of the synagogue when it is received
from the bridegroom, whose absolute
property 1t must be, and not obtained
by credit or gift. When this is prop
erly certified the ring is returned to
him and he places it IN the brides
finger. calling attention to the fact that
she Is, by means of this ring, conse-
Grated to him, and so completely bind
ing is this action that, should the mar
riage not be further consecrated, no
other could be contracted by either
party without a legal divorce.
Solemn betrothal by means Of the
ring often preceded matrimony in the
middle ages and was sometimes adopt
ed between lovers who were about to
separate for long periods. Shakespeare
has more than once alluded to the GUS
kom. which Is absolutely enacted in his

hLhSKh is FERTILE

Alaska is not as barren a lana
people generally regard it. The com
monty received opinion is that it is (
region of snow and ice, of chilly blasts
and utter desolation. Governor Brady,
however, thinks there is much to en-.
joy there, If one may judge by his
Thanksgiving proclamation, in which
he sets forth many reasons for grati+
tude. Here are some of them: I'VE in
Alaska in comparing our blessings with
those which our friends enjoy in Other
places find that we have much for
which to be thankful. We have an
abundance of grass, and where men
have attempted to till the earth it has
yielded many fold and those who have
tried it are satisfied that greater things
are in store for them. The sea has not
failed to yield of it's abundance and
our fishermen have been handsomely
rewarded for their toll. The mineral
wealth of Alaska is mere promising to-
day than In the past. 1t is here, and
when obtained will represent human
effort. We have not been visited by
destructive disturbances of the at
mosphere, earth or sea. While we re-
count our manifold blessings our
thoughts will be tempered by the ca
lamity which overwhelmed so many
people on the steamship Islander and
by the humiliation which we feel in the
manner of the death of President Nc
Kinley."

that he had not one scintilla of proof
