Wed dfnEs In Wales.

Many and curious were the old cuo-
toms in Wales relating to marriage.
The following is an account of the bid
ding ceremony, an old custom which is
said to be celebrated even to this day
in rural parts of Wales: The bidder
goes from house to house with long
pole and ribbons flying at the end of it,
and standing in the middle floor in each
house he repeats long lesson with
great formality. He mentions the day
Of the wedding, the place, the prepare.
tons made, etc. The following is o
specimen: 1.-The intention of the bidder
is this: With kindness and amity, with
decency and liberaIity for - and -,
he invites you to come with your good
will on the plate. Bring current mon
ey-a shilling or two or three or four
or five-with cheese and butter. We
invite the husband and wife, children
and menservants, from the greatest to
the least Come there early You
shall have victuals freely and drink
cheap, stools to sit on and fish If we
can catch them, but if not hold us ex-
cusable, and they will attend on you
when you call upon them in return.

STRIKING EYEGLASSES.
No Law Which Declares 1t an AgRra-

No Law which Declares 1t an Agra
waited Onense.
1t is the common opinion that for
striking a man with glasses on there
Is a severer penalty than for striking
him under similar circumstances when
he is not wearing glasses. Careful
search, however, does not bring forth
any statutory provision which declares
the offense greater when the man who
is struck wears glasses. The preva-
lence of this Idea is due. no doubt. to
the proba bility Of the Judge in such
cases giving the convicted the extreme
penalty. The legal term for assault IN
der such circumstances Is mayhem"
signifying that the assailant has in one
way or another deprived his victim Of
the power Of defending himself.
During an alteration from which a
struggle is apt to ensue any one wear
them. unobserved II possible. however,
because If noticed it might act as a
signal to begin hostilities.
Many think that glasses would be a
source of general protection in these
cases and often take advantage on that
ground, but this is wrong, because no
court would hold it worse to strike a
man with glasses than one without
unless the assailant struck directly at
his opponents eyes. with the intent to
wound or MAIN him, and whether one
were hit elsewhere than on the eye
glasses would not enter the case at all.

superstitions of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon in re-
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some of them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn on moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce tall stalk with short
ear. Others, just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as the case may be.
Other notions are INDUCED in, such as
throwing the cobs in running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
pinder hulls, the seed of which is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along a path or highway, to be
trodden upon in order to secure good
crop. Green butter bean bulls must be
thrown in a road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
a good crop the following season.

THE FIRST SPECTACLES.
They Were Made In Italy In the
Thirteenth Century.

Thirteenth Century.
Spcctacles were invented late in the
thirteenth century. The use of glass
to aid the sight of defective eyes is,
however, much older Nero looked
through Il concave glass in watching
the gladiatorial games, and many other
historical men Of his day were depend
ent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight
Till the latter part Of the thirteenth
century only the single glass was in
use In 1890 the double glass was in
vented. and in the fourteenth century
spectacles were used quite frequently
by the very wealthy and high born, al
though they were still so scarce that
they were bequeathed in will with all
the elaborate care that marked the dis
position of a feudal estate. The first
spectacles were made in Italy.
Somewhat later the manufacture of
cheaper glasses sprang up in Holland,
and it spread late in the fourteenth
century to Germany, Nuremberg and
Rathenow acquired fame for. their
glasses between 1890 and 1900.
For many years glasses were used
only as a means Of aiding bad eyes, I'M
til the fashion Of wearing merely for
the sake Of wearing them sprahg up in
Spain. 1t spread rapidly to the rest of
the continent and brought about the
transformation Of the old thirteenth
century spectacles into eyeglasses and
eventually into the monocle.

WORK OF NEXT CONGRESS OUTLINED.

THE President at the opening OF Congress,
Il will send an important message to that
body, but it is generally expected that but little
will be transacted. Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
setts, who is one of the leading members OF the
higher body, thinks that if the Senate succeeds
in placing the Shipping bill and the Philippine
tariff measure on the statutes in addition to pass
ing the regular appropriation bills, it will be
doing good work for so short session. The
Shipping bill stands fine opportunity OF pass
ing, as it has gone through the upper house and
has been placed in the hands of the House Com
merce Committee The bill, all along, has met
with considerable opposition but this has been
in a large measure subdued, and there are excel
lent prospects that it will become law. With
regard to the Philippine tariff bill, it has passed
the lower house to be checked in the Senate by
the activity of the Sugar Trust, which has such
powerful influence there. The Senate will be
urged to adopt the bill.
The people of the Philippine Islands have been
assured by Secretary Taft that they will have
passed for their benefit a satisfactory tariff meas
ure 1t is proposed that there shall be consid-
cradle reduction OF imports in progressive man
ner until commerce has been relieved from all
burdens. The Secretary will endeavor to keep

NEW CITY CHARTER.

Nov that the session Of the Legislature is
IN not far off, it would be we'll for the Board
OF Trade to begin serious consideration OF the
proposed new charter for the city Much head
way will be made if the proposed charter is pre-
sented early in the session, when there is ample
time for discussion and deliberation 1t will be
difficult task to adopt charter that will be salts
factory to conflicting elements of the city so that
it will be supported by ALL Still, we believe 1t
will be accomplished with reasonable certainty
should the effort be made to adopt a charter that
will be designed solely Tor the best interests Of
the city and with no selfish motives behind it.
The city needs such an instrument 1t has out
grown the present charter. One must be adopted
that will provide for better management of the
affairs of Wilmington, and at the same time il
possible, secure more revenue. That is the chief
question that confronts Wilmington to-day Our
expenses are increasing and there ; no means in
sight to bring in additional revenue. The school
teachers rightly are clauoring for more money
and they desire to have their salaries increased
How 1t can be done and where the money is to
come from is the great problem. Those who ap-
preeate the need of this added revenue. should
give this subject serious consideration. The
public service corporations should be taxed and
the city should receive some Of the revenue tha,
