MOURNING CUSTOMS.
Origin Of the Widows Cap ana Black
Sleeve Bands.

Origin Of the Widows Cap ana Black
Sleeve Bands.
The customs Of mourning az prac-
dced in various parts Of the world
seem at 6rst sight to have little rela-
tlon with each other or with the In
ward grief which they are supposed
to typify. Yet by the exercise Of a lit
tie patience many resemblances may
be discovered among them. The wild.
owls cap, for example, dates back to
the days Of ancient Egypt Egyptian
men shaved the beard and head as q
token Of mourning. The women, IN.
stead Of cutting of the hair, concealed
It by q close cap. The Romans, who
were as q race clean shaven, shaved
the head in mourning and wore a wig.
The black band on the sleeve as a
sign Of mourning comes to as from the
days OF chivalry. The lady tied a scarf
or napkin, as the handkerchief was
called, about the arm Of her knight
II he was killed in battle she wore the
band in memory Of him.
Black has 80 long been the color Of
grief in Anglo-Saxon countries that II
seems q part Of the upside down civ.
illsation Of the east that japan and
China wear white. But no longer ago
than the time Of Elizabeth the unfor-
tunate Mary Of Scotland wore white
on the death Of Darnley. Even now
the bearse used for children is white,
and In England the mOurners at fu-
nerals of young unmarried persons
wear hatbanda and sGShes Of white.
A queer English custom is that Of
decorating the black heaSe horses with
long false black tails They attract no
more notice on a street In Liverpool
than do the black nets used In this
country 10 cover the horses.
A great many sensible people protest
that wearing tokens OF mourning Is a
barbarIc custom that should be abOl-
ished or greatly modified. but when
loss and grief actually come into the
individual life one discovers that there

ration.

men who worked them, a critic writes:
Though beautiful to behold and terri.
BILE to fight with, those OLD men-of.war
were more often than not abodes Of
tyranny and wretchedness. The vio-
lence Of the press gangs, which seized
men Of all ages and occupations, was
but a prelude to the oppression that
followed. Decent men were herded In
discriminatory with rufians, the rights
OF free born Engllshmen were rudely
snatched from them-for them thence
forward there was no law save the
will Of the captain and the dread arti-
Giles Of war. Shore going leave was
nonexistent the food was atrOcious
and Bcanty, punishments were barbar-
Gus, and tile only thing served out with
any llberalty was rum, on which the
men got drunk and then were logged
for that offenss at the gratings next
morning.
"In Nelson's time the seaman had
few pleasures save the prospect Of a
hot fight and bis daily pint Of rum.
But TO these must be added the vain
glorious satisfaction be took In his
clothes. When rugged out in his best

silver buckles on his low shoes, his
short blue jacket would be decorated

"But all these frlpperies were dis.
caTded when the guns were cast loose
from their lashingS and the llnstOcks
were lighted. II was the custom OF the
men when going into action to strip to
the waist. They took their black silk
handkerchlefs and bound them very
tightly round their heads over their
ears, 30 that the roar Of the guns might
not deafen them for life. Il was re-

Big Gold Ledge

k. J. Field returned this week from the Jaksina river, where three years ago he and A. T. Berkenholz, Bob Thorson and Carl Witham located a very large ledge of free milling gold ore. The ledge is at least 500 feet wide and crops out for q distance of over 1J00 feet. Assays of samples taken at random give $43 in gold per ton. Tine men have attempted nothing more than assessment work on the ground each year and are now busy doing this years work. some of the party will remain on the ground during the winter and continue the work of opening up the property.
 Mr. Field states that last year the claims were bonded to local promoter who laid tic proposition before Henry Bratnober. The lat ter, after making aG assay of the ore submitted, turned it down, de claring there was nothing in it and news to that effect was spread around tie town. But notwith- standing his rejection of the propo- sition, Bratnober ht.ed up an ex- petition of a number of men and forty tons of provisions and was seen this summer by one of the in- terested parties on the Panama liver heading for the claims. His object, of course, was not stated, but the original locators are in possession and propose to stay with it. The Bratnober party lost man while boating on the Panama.
