Garlands Hung Up in English Sane
tuaries to Girls True TO
Their First Love,

There are seven virgins garlands"
Saiop the first of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1851, says the
London Daily Graphic.
They consist OF silk ribbon and pa
per, ball-shaped, and are covered with
rosettes, the inside center OF the cafe

paper gloves. They represent q ro-
mantle custom OF very ancient origin,
end are sacred TO the memory of girls
who, while betrothed in their youth,
lost their intended husbands by death,
yet remained true TO their first loves.
Each maiden designed her own gar
land, and at her death this simple
emblem was borne before her by the
village lassies, the white gloves being
oflerward added. After the obsequies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on rod bearing at its
extremity a heart in the shape of an
tscutcheon, upon which the initials
and date were inscribed. These were
originally fixed above the maiden S
pew.
Some of the earliest and forgotten
gariands were composed of real flow
ers, but later the covered hoops de-
Ecribed were substituted.
There is a passing allusion to this
simple memorial of the early dead"
in Hamlet" Yet here she is ale
lowed her virgin Grants" Grants,

WORK or ANCIENT ENGINEERS.
Jewish Men OF Science Were Masters
of Their Craft

King Hezekish, IL seems, was trou-
bled over the bad water of Jerusalem
about $500 years ago, and built
reservoir outside the city gates for
spring water, which was brought thith-
er in a tunnel, the construction OF
which rivals the famous Simplon.
Or. Bertholet OF the University OF
Basic has identified this ancient engi-
neerng masterpiece One Of the ST.
rach manuscripts OF this date states:
"HeZekiah fortified his city by bring
ing water thereto and he bored through
the solid rock by means of bronze,
and he collected the water in a reser-
voir"
The tunnel leads into the pool Of
Sloan and is $50 yards long. Work
was carried on from both ends, as Is
proved by an inscription in the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,
picks, etc, which show the direction
In which the excavation was made.
What instruments were used for de-
termining levels and directions, and
how were errors detected? Allowing
for the scientific and practical limita-
tons suffered by these ancient Jew.

Fuel Is Scarce.
Following an unusually open winter.
hundreds OF families provided themselves
with only meNgcr supplies of coal, and
fuel companies, expecting n light demand
during the remainder OF the winter, had
permitted their stocks TO run low.
The longest continued stretch OF cold
weather in Kansas City and this part of
tho Southwest has been experienced dur
irg the past week.
Coal dealers have worked almost night
end day to supply the sudden demand Tor
fuel and toduS's snowfall made the streets

the snow Will have disappeared within
