The why's and Wherefores.

1t is most surprising what a number of
reason.
Why, for instance. do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you may say because they
make them pretty and interesting.
But the real reason is that when the Ro-
mans were in England they shaved their
heads as sign OF mourning. OF course
woman couldn't Jet herself be seen with
bald head, 50 she made herself a pretty
cap. And now, though the necessity of
wearing it has passed away, the cap re-
mains. 4. 10. --s.
Why are bells tolled for the dead? This
has become so familiar a practice that a
funeral without it would appear un-
CHRISTIAN. Yet the reason is quite bar
barous. Bells were tolled long ago in or
ger DER TO frlghten away the evil spirits who
lived in the air
Why do fair ladies break a bottle of
VINE on the ship they are christening?
Merely another survival of barbaric Gus
tom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods
II was customary to get some poor victim
when boat was being launched and to
cut his throat over the PROV, so that his
blood baptized it, TF@@'e eesef
Why are dignitarties deafened by sa-
lutte when they visit a foreign port? 1t
seems a curious sort of welcome, this
firing off of guns, but it appears the GUS
tom arose in very reasonable way
Originally, a town or a ,cwarship fired off
their guns on the approach of important
and friendly strangers to show that they
had such faith in the visitors peaceful
intentions they didn't think it necessary
to keep their guns loaded.
Why do we sometimes throw shoe
after a bride? The reason is not very
complimentary From of old 1t has been
the habit Of mothers to chastise their
children with a shoe. Hence the custom
arose of the father of the bride making a
present to the bridegroom of a Shoe as
sign that 1t was to be his right to keep
her in Order.-Chicago Journal.

A RILLTOWN SONG OF UNHAPPY
LOVE.

No married woman shall be employed
in the postoffce department. "-Postmas-
ter General Payne.
The MISTRESS of the village post
Stood sorting out the mail.
AS white she looked as any ghost,
No wonder she was pale
For climbing yonder up the hill
Came aFrmer Jones' Lanky Bill.
And OH her maiden breath stood still
And oh! her heart did quail.
A hearty, lusty country swain,
Full six feet two and more
He STROBE along the village lane
And stopped before the door.
Good evening, Kate" she heard him say,
Got anything, for me today?"
She gently sighed and answered Nay
Her eyes upon the floor.
Tis not a letter that 1 mean"
He cried and smote his breast.
Nor postal card nor magazine.
All. Kate, you know the rest
You know I've only called to see
If yet there's any hope for me,
If still, with grim perversity,
You spurn my love confessed
The date machine she slowly set
And sadly stamped a letter
The imprint of the ink was wet
But oh! her eyes were wetter.
She sighed and brushed away a tear.
And said, her sweet voice out of gear
Much as I love you. William dear,
I love my country better"
Recalling what her lover meant,
When Kate one day did wake up
To find her cherished government
Determined on shake-up,
She sent message, Come to me,
Tho forty years have ceased to be-
But bill was holding on his knee
His Hctle grandson Jacob.
