10 many parts OF india Hindoo girls
are welded not n u ring. but with II
nccklei or thali. At the wedding OF the
daughter of Il leading native, Moulmcln,
there were present among the inner
Gus guests a Ilindop maiden II her
lover, whose suit had not so far pro
crossed to his satisfaction. While the
wedding ceremony was in progress the
young man suddenly went up to her
and before any one suspected what his
object WAS pulled mi n tliaii from his
pocket and quietly tied it round her
neck. OF course there was a hubbub as
well as parental lamentations over this
dramatic episode. but so great is the
veneration for the thali among Hin
docs that no one dared TO remove it
from the neck of the astonished maid
en-. All concerned, therefore, repaired
to the Marianne temple, where the
act was ratified. and the maid who went
to the wedding of her friend fancy
free left the scene as the legal wife of
a bold and successful husband.-Lon-

An old tradition says the Azlecs We're
one of seven powerful tribes that
emerged from seven caverns in a re
gion called .Aztlan, or place of the
heron. They wandered away from
their fellows after a great confusion of
tongues and settled in the region they
are known to have inhabited. This
tradition may be partly fabulous. but it
is sure that the AZtecs settled the
country before the eleventh or twelfth
century.
All the tribes lived in peace for a
considerable time until the strong be
gan to encroach upon the territory of
the weaker. Then II fierce war for SUI
premacy over the whole territory en-
sued and lasted many years. Under
the leadership Of their military chiefs
the AZtecs obtained control of the
whole territory and established Il very
enlightened form of government. This
was contaminated in 1924 or 1879.

cario.,,y Or somnIr1nna women.

An English lady travelling with her
husband in Somaliland writes: I'VE
were honored by a visit from the wife,
infant IND mother of the chief of Il
~ne.gbboring zareba. They had never
seen any European women before and
came to see what q mem-sahib was
like. They examined everything, from
my hairbrushes to my boots, ard were
especially charmed with my big pith
sun hat. With some hesitation they
asked If 1 would mind letting down
my hair. Ones couture in camp Is
very simple. and the removal of a few
hairpins gratlfed their curiosity. Then
they pressed Cam. my maid, who has
short curly hair, TO do the same. We
had to give up all explanation Mt the
difference, and finally they accepted
the ayeh's theory hat long and short
hair was the English distinction be-
tween married women and maids and
that when Cam married she would
grow her hair long. The SomalI wom-
an has her hair-or, rather. curly wool
dressed only twice in her life, once
when it is plated in myriads of tiny
plaits no thicker than Irvine, and once
again when she marrles, when it is

The Trinity legend of the shamrock
appears first in literature in 1927, in
Caleb ThreEeld's Synopsis Stirpium

"Trifolium Pratcnse Album" occurs the
following passage: ''This plant is Worn
by the people in their hats on the 18th
day of March yearly, which is called
St. Patrick Day, 1t being a current ira
dition that by this three leaved grass

The Greek year consisted of three
seasons only, Prometheus enumerates
them. "They had no sign" says lie,
"of winter, of howery spring, of fruit
full summer" In ancient Germany Il
similar division of the year prevailed,
for Tacitus makes the caustic remark
that among the Germans winter. spring
and summer have a meaning and n
name. but TO that people the name and
blessings Of autumn are alike un-
known. 1t is not likely. then. that our
Saxon forcflthers were acquainted
with the la"t named season, and our

Rare Musical Treat.

One of the many features that VIII
be appreciated by those who visit the
great Floto Shows. which will exhibit
in Rawlins on Friday. July Sth, l9O4'
is the grand concert rendered every
afternoon and evening by Prof
Hackers Military and Concert
Band, composed of twenty five OF the
best concert musicians that could he
obtained. They are all soloists and
many of them are composers OF note.
This band is stationed IN the first
large tent as you enter the exhibition
and at / o'clock in the afternoon and
I O'Clock in the evening, Immediately
upon the opening of the doors, they
render a concert of one hours dura-
ton.
Ii is not a concert such as is usu-
ally called Il concert by similar tray
cling organizations, but the program
contains numbers that are rendered
only by tire leading concert bands OF
the country. While classic music is
presented the leading popular airs
of the day are not forgotten.

petee.ing amir In Liberln.

The brown skins of the natives in
Liberia are often daubed with red and
white clay, the effect of the latter be
Ing rather startling. This is called
dressing. Sometimes n vertical blue
mark is seen across the forehead. This

pected of murder. theft, etc. he is
made to drink susce wood This being
deadly poison, his innocence is de
clared by the draft not proving fatal.
1t is said, however, that this is only n
form. When the fatal moment arrives
some eXpedient is generally adopted,

The origin of sterling rs applied
to coined money is thus given in "a
Short Treatise Touching Sherifs' Ac-
counts" by Sir Matthew Hale, 1853:
Current coin of the realm is of gold
or silver. with an alloy of copper. ut
least from the time of Henry l., and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spelman supposeth 1t to take that
name from the Esterlings. who came
over and reformed our coin, TO that
alloy-of this opinion was Camden.
Possibly in those times II Peny was
called a Sterling, without any other
reason than the use of the times, as
other names grow, for the old Act of
Henry III. tells us that Denarius An
glice Sterlingus dicitur On denarius, or
penny, is called in English a Sterling),
and because this was the root of the
measure of silver coin; therefore all
our coin of the same alloy was also
called Sterling"
