Ranns of Marriaue.

The custom of publishing the banns
of marriage dates back to the print
tive church, for Tertullian, who died
A. D. 240, states that warning of in
tended marriages was given among
the early Christians.
It appears that the publication of
banns was habitual in many places
long before there was any general
law on the subject, since Gregory "
(119S-1216) speaks of the banns (from
Latin bannum, proclamation; Anglo
Saxon ban) being given out in church,
according to custom. The practice
was introduced into France about the
ninth century and in 1176 was en-
forced in the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
ject in England was an order made in
the synod of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been
published in the church on three sew
eral Sundays or feast days. This rule
was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran council
held in Rome in 1915. By act of par
lament banns must now be given out
in England on three Sundays.-Lon-

JAPAN WINS A BATTLE.
In Fact Two Victories Are Given To
Their Credit.

London, May 2s.-The correspondent
! at Toxic cables that the Japanese at
tackled Nan Quan Ling, on the narrow
est part of the Kwan-Tung peninsula
and drove back the Russians by main
force. The attack on Kin-Chou, the
dispatch adds, was begun at dawn and
by noon Kin Chou was in the hands of
the Japanese, who occupied the castle.
The fighting was of the most des-
perate character. 1t is believed the
casualties were heavy.
In an ehrlier dispatch the CORE
spondent cabled that japanese spies
had ascertained that the Russians had
thirty guns at Kin Chou and numerous
mines and wire entanglements at all
points where Japanese attack was ex-
pected.
After the occupation of Kin Chou
the Russians retired in good order to
the heights further south which were
attacked by the full japanese force
and carried after stubborn resistance
The Shan Khai Kwan correspondent
sends a report received from New
Chwang that thinking the Japanese
had retired from Feng Wang Cheng,
200 Russians from Hal Cheng and
Lao Yang We're marched toward Feng
Wang Cheng. They were surprised by
10000 japanese in the Tatung pass.
The Russian casualties were 1000, and
over a thousand Russians surrendered
The report does not state the japanese
losses

WAR SPIRIT OF THE JAPs.
Their FanatIcaI Bravery Thing to
Wonder At.

WOnocr AT.
Lieut.. Masaki of a Japanese war
ship writes to his wife: after all
there is plenty of luck in battle and a
fellow of good luck cannot die If he
wish to. For instance, a shot or ball
cannot hit lucky dog like me. On
the occasion of the fight of Feb. 8
the only things had in my bosom
were the charm you sent me and a
photograph of Iko (the lieutenant's
eldest son). During the fight I took
my post on a barbette and directed
the fire of the broadsides; but when
the range had increased ordered to
cease firing. Then I took out Iko's
photograph and turned 1t face toward
the scene of the battle, addressing it
as if it were Iko in person. If as a
result of this war; said to it, the sit
uation of the far east is firmly fixed
and no war should occur during your
lifetime, then you might think your
self born in vain as an officers son.
Therefore you should carefully OBJ
serve this scene even from your pho
tograph, so that the sight may inspire
in you the proud warrior spirit worthy
of man. If, however, fortune favors
you with chance Of being under fire,
as I am now, then there is all the
more reason to observe the scene
carefully for your future benefit.

WHISTLER PAINTED THE SIGN,
And the Miller Was There, Though
Not Visible.

And the Miller Was There, Though
Not Visible.
Gov. Murphy of New Jersey told re-
Gently at the Annapolis Naval Acad-
envy an interesting story about the
painter Whistler
while Whistler was at West
Point" he said, 'he turned an honest
penny now and then by painting por-
traits. and even by painting signs.
There was one day a facetious mil
Ter, who asked the young man to make
a picture of his mill that he might
hang, by way of a sign, over the door.
"'Paint the MILL said the miller,
just as it is, and paint me at the
window, looking out. But must not
be idle in the picture, and so, when
anyone looks at me must pop in my
head
Here the miller laughed heartily.
"'Can you paint picture like that?
he asked.
To be sure Whistler answered
quietly.
"And he painted the mill, leaving
out the miller altogether, and then
he submitted the picture for approved.
1.-THE miller looked at it carefully,
then he nodded and smiled.
"'This is good he said, but how
about me? Where is the miller?'
"'He was at the window Whistler
answered, but when you looked at
him he popped in his head"

The Fascination of Golf.

There are a good many people who
think that golf is just foolishness.
These are generally people that have
watched one or two games without
really understanding them and have
never taken driver, lofter or putter
into their own hands and played.
There is no game that grows in fasci-
nation more rapidly than does golf
The peculiar sense of freedom that
it gives, the constant yet not violent
exercise, the beauty of the long stretch
of greensward resting town-tired eyes
and the spaciousness that belongs in
equal measure to few other common
sports, are recommendation that
need only to be known once to be
forever Observation-Disclosures News.

Fate's Answer.

what is the timer"
A little child asked on a fair June day.
"'Tis time to play" said Fate;
And romping merrily it went on its way.
what is the timer
A boy asks, half in earnest, half in Jest.
"'Tis time to think" said Fate,
ITO weld the chain of knowledge link by
link"
what is the timer
The boy to manhood grown now eager
asks.
"'Tis time to love and we'd" said Fate
''To give the heart precedence to the
head"
what is the timer
A father with grave face is asking now
"'Tis time to strive" said Fate,
ITO toll for others and Tor others thrive
What is the timer
At last an old man. bent with years and
care, the question puts.
"'Tis time to die said Fate,
"And in the earth which nourished thee
to lie."
And this was the last question and reply
The last mid earthly scenes;
Yet who shall say
That in some gentler cline
Unknown and here unknowable-
More answers will not follow those Of
Fate,
MID all the glories of an endless day.
Answers indeed, but not like those Of
time
Blunt. brief, and harsh of sound:
But filled with love that hath no mete nor
bound.

Precious Stones Initiated.

Many precious stones are initiated
in the form of what the trade calls
"doublets." A thin layer, mere shaw
ing, of the real stone is cunningly &C.
mented on to an artificial base having
all the outward characteristics of the
genuine article. Few jewellers, if any
at all, would pass this off on anyone
as a real, solid, genuine article; but
when once it is donned it plays the
part of the real thing to perfection.
