Origin of the Wedding-ring.
The Ancients Believed a Special Nerve
Ran from the Ring Finger to the Heart.

The wedding-ring is the subject OF
quaint historical facts and endless
superstitions. 1t was probably chosen
as the symbol of marriage more for
convenience than anything else. 1t
is supposed to be symbol of un-
broken love and Of power, and to
carry special curative virtues with 1t.
The old good-luck saying about it is,
"As your wedding-ring wears, your
cares will wear away" The ancients,
Piny among the rest, believed that a
delicate nerve ran directly from the
"ring finger" to the heart, and that
the ring placed on that finger was
very closely connected with the heart.
In early Christian marriages the
bridegroom put the ring first on the
brides thumb, then on the first finger,
then on the second, and, last of all,
on the third, saying as he did: In
the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost" The
thumb and first two fingers represent
ed the Trinity, the next finger was
the one the ring was left on, to show
that, next to God. a woman's duty
was to her husband.-May La6ieS'

Made Gold of Maple Sugar,
Lycoming County Farmer CIeverly Fleecet
Of His Money.

To Willlamsport constable, whom
he has interested in the case, a farmer
who does business on the curbstone
market unfolded a story of cheat and
swlndle IN which as a result of his own
duplicity he was led to the belief tha,
gold could be made from maple sugar
and incidentally fleeced of $50.
Two men, whispering aside that their
fortunes were made, inspected his
sugar and bought it all for $2.6o. His
curiosity was aroused and he inquired
about the fortune end of it, The men
took him to hotel, placed a cake of
sugar in an oil stove oven, took it out
and dipped it into liquid, then handed
it to the innocent man from the rura
districts reduced in size and increased
in weight. He cut into it and found
gold.
The next step was to form a stock
company with the wonderful alchem
lists, he to furnish the sugar during the
season AS an evidence of good faith
he must put up $50, and now he want:
the cash in preference to the. gold
brick.

A Short Review of the May Ladies' Home
Journal.

From its charming cover by Albert
Herter to its last page the May issue
OF the LadieS H0mf ./onraalexcels in
all ways. The most important new
feature is the beginning of Ernest
Thompson Seton's department for
boys, which is written and illustrated
by the famous administration. artist.
Lindsay Denison, who knows President
Roosevelt in very personal way,
writes OF "The Outdoor President"
and Helen Keller continues the mar
velous story of her life. The fiction
features are Miss Porter's "Those Days
in Old Virginia." and the first part of
a delightful story by Grace S. Rich
mond called "The Indifference of
Juliet" Neltje Blanchan tells "How
the Birds Build Their Nests" and Will
Bradley shows the boudoir of "The
Bradley House." Mr.. Bok's editorial
is fine bit of sarcasm aimed at the
wise New Workers, and Mr.. Mabie in
his literary talk deals with the reading
habit and several new books and
writers of note. There's no end OF
good and helpful advice and interest
Ing facts in the various departments
and the illustrations are conspicuously
attractive. By The Curtis Publishing

The cream must be sufficiently
thick to hold the air, and must be
very cold, and kept cold during the
whipping. A small churn made from
tin will whip one quart of cream liz
two minutes. Without regular whip
put the cream into bowl and with
an egg-bsater or "syllabub churn
beat for few moments, then skim
off the whipped portion from the sur
face and dram in colander, and So
continue until all the cream has been

Hon. II. Clay Evans out of office.
Evans stood for decency and economy

denied no man a pension that could
claim it rightfully or legally, he did
deny pensions to those not entitled
TO them, and in this way incurred the
displeasure of the pension sharks.

got only half a stand. The patch was

60 bushels, many specimens weighing

siderably over half a pound. OF the
crop, 20 bushels have been sold at a

probably go at a higher price.
