Marriage ring. In Denmark.


The maidens of Denmark never re-
ceive diamond engagement ring. They
are always presented with plain gold
band, which is worn on the third finger
of the left hand. On the wedding day
the bridegroom changes the ring to the
right third finger, which is the mar

Cats of Long AGO.

The piercing and cutting teeth Of
some of the cats of long ago are the
most perfectly adapted instruments for
cutting purposes that ever We're seen,
being unequaled by any manufactured
tools for such uses.
For example, there was the .gom-
phodus," which was as big as the lar
gest panther and had two teeth in its
upper jaw resembling daggers. each
five inches in length AS weapons for
penetrating flesh they are unrivaled.
among carnivorous animals, recent or
extinct They are rather like the
teeth of some huge flesh eating dino
saurs, the terrible reptiles" of the
Mesozoic epoch, which had cutting
teeth that nothing could resist. Doubt
less this creature was inconceivabIy
bloodthirsty. Quite as fierce, however.
and even more formidable by reason
of its greater size, was the contem-
porary "pogonodon." which was as
large as the biggest jaguar

COMES NEXT.
Will Likely Be Included In Next Public
Building Bill.

Washington. d.. c., May 2.-(Special
to The Republican.)-The next Wyo,
ming city on the list for n public build.
ing is Laramie. Senator Warren's bill
appropriating 500, 900 for this building
passed the senate early in the session,
but the house did not include it in the
omnibus bill. and consequently its en-
actment into law cannot be expected at
this session.
Some preference vas given by the
public building committee to cities
where terms of United States courts
are held. and this rule. in connection
with the fact that the Evanston public
building bill was introduced d., or to
the Laramie city bill, doubtless had its
influence in the selection of Evanston
for the place in the omnibus bill at this
time.
1t is admitted that Laramie, by rea.
son Of population, extent of business,
and permanence of its institutions, is
entitled to a public building and it un.
doubtedly will be given a place in the
next omnibus building bill.
