A TRAGIC WARNING.

II was made tragically evident at Minneapolis
on Wednesday that the time has come when the
veterans OF the Grand Army of the Republic should
ride and not walk in the professions which are such
an impressive feature of their annual encampments.
There were more than half a hundred cases
of collapse a result of heat and exertion,
five OF which resulted in death The yielding 10
the imperative demands of nature in way be
viewed as constituting pusillanimity. More than
four decades have passed since those veterans bat
tied for the preservation of the union and while
they may today be as strong of heart when they
responded TO the nations call their bodies no longer
possess the vigor OF early manhood
1t is a matter OF wonder that so many of the
soldiers mustered out OF service more than forty
years ago, after the sufferings and hardships Of
many campaigns still survive vigorous, active
and progressive members of communities.
Certainly it is striking testimony to the
physical stamina of the American race. However,
it should be realized that the point has been reached
at which il would be foolish and presumptuous for
them TO subject their physical powers to strains
which only men in the heyday OF manly vigor can
endure without peril.

RINGS IN WEDDINGS.

There Is n popular idea that n ring
made OF gold is the only one that can he
legally used in n wedding ceremony. That
is. however. a fallacy. Any and every
kind OF ring may be used. and, though
gold ones are customary. there Is no rea-
son whatever why silver or any common
er metal should not be called into requi-
sltion. Numerous instances are on record
OF runaway marriages in which n brass
ring has played the all important part.
and the legality of the ceremony has new
or been questioned. In some cases piece
of hurriedly tied string has answered the
same purpose. as have also circles cut
out OF card or paper.
