The First Wedding Ring

The wedding ring. according to Henry
Swinburnc of the seventeenth century,
was first designed by promcthcus and
fashioned out of adamnnt and iron by
Tubal Cain. He says that 1t was
given by Adam to his son to this end
that Herewith lie should espousc a
rifc." Men were, as all women know
dccCivCrS over. and some of these un-
sCrIplllous creatures were wont to wed
with rings made of rushes, imagining
them To he less binding than strong
anu valuable ring. The bishop of Sails
bury, however. stepped in and forbade
This practice in 12lT.
Silver was more frequently used than
gold for wedding rings, and they were
made in all kinds of shapcs,- some
twisted. like two joined hands, or
pair OF hearts stuck together with an
arrow. often they were adorned with
precious stones and had "posics''-that

it is scarcely seen by the eye, but al
ways under the microscope. In all

New York's Barue Canal.

The New York legislature has passed a referendum canal bill by non-parti- san majorities, and the people of New York will ratify or reject it next No vember. If the bill be ratified by the people bonds to the extent of $101,- 100000 will be issued for the purpose of improving the Erie and Champlain canals so that canal barges of 1000-ton capacity, operated in fleets, can pass from the great lakes to the sea.
 This is really a defensive measure against the movements of traffic to- wards the gulf in anticipation of the building of the Panama canal. New York city is losing traffic and the southern cities are gaining it. At pres ent the canals belonging to the state of New York are of little value, and 1t is hoped that their enlargement to the capacity of barges used on the great lakes will enable New York to retain its volume of traffic. But 1t will not.
 New York city and Buffalo cast nearly one-half of the vote of the state, and 1t is believed their vote can be boiled almost unanimously in favor of the great scheme. Some help will be needed in the rural counties, and 1t is expected that this will come from the counties that the two canals traverse. The chances are therefore pretty good that the bill will be ratified and the canals deepened and enlarged accord ing to the present programme. But nothing of this sort will change the course of traffic. The Mississippi and Missouri and Ohio and all their branches can be deepened and enlarged in like manner, and the trend towards the gulf will not be changed. New York will remain the financial center of the country, but it must be content to share with the gulf ports the great traffic to and from the valley of the Mississippi.

UNCLE sAM's srocK.TAKINe.

From the New York World.
 The United States, we are reminded by the Hon w. R. Merriam, late direc- tor of the census in the April Century, was the first nation to provide for periodical count of its people. Within century its example had been followed by the whole civilized world.
 The United States census started in 179O with six questions. A hundred years later it was recording something like complete biography of every inhabitant.
 The first census law was signed by George Washington; the latest by Theo- dore Roosevelt
 The law allowed nine months to count a little less than 4,O00 GOO persons in 179O but it really took eighteen. There were about 650 enumerators In 1900 there were nearly 6O,00O enumerators, and they counted 76000,00O persons in one month.
 The first census did not employ a sin gle clerk; the last employed 3554.
 The first census cost not quite s450O0; the last cost nearly SIP. 2.000.000.
 If it were not for the introduction of electrical tabulating machines it would hardly be possible now to get out all the figures for one census before would come the time to take the next, and the cost would run up so high that 1t would need another machine to calculate 1t.
