Memorials In an English Church to
Girls True to First Love.
There are seven virgins garlands"
still in existence in Minsterley church,
Salop, the first of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1851.
They consist Of silk ribbons and
paper, ball shaped, and are covered
with rosettes, the inside center of the
cane or wire frame supporting a pair
Of paper gloves. They represent a ro-
mantle custom of very ancient origin
and 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 W gar
land, and at her death this simple en-
blem was borne before her by the VII
lage lasses, the white gloves being aft
erward added. After the ~obsequies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on a rod bearing at its
extremity a heart in the shape Of an
escutcheon, upon which the initials and
date were inscribed. These were origi-
nally fixed above the maiden's pew.
Some of the earliest and forgotten
garlands were composed Of real flow
ers, but later the covered hoops de-
scribed were substituted.
There is a passing allusion to this
simple memorial Of the early dead"

her virgin GRANTS" Grants" .signifying

horse races was among the great dis
likes Of the popular actor.

he wal going to back he would say:
I'm going to back a little dlly I've
often backed before. I've eve won
anything on it; yet, strange to say, I've
eve lost a penny"
"Oh, whatever horse is thatT might
have been the inquiry.

is a fatal one. Thus our annual prod
uct is enough to kill 2,5O0,OO 0 people,"
He opened a door, and a room filed
with writhing flames, dense shadows,
sparks, smoke and weird figures in
glass masks was revealed. In the CEN
ter of the room, in a great caldron, 100
pounds of molten cyanide Of potas-
SUM dubbed and seethed. The flames
glinted strangely on the glass masks.
The foreman coughed.
'These fumes" he said, ARE whole

bust. 1 have known weakly chaps,
working here among these strange
fumes, to pick up health and strength"
In another clean, cool DON the fin

"Good enough to eat" said the fore
man gravely. well, we have had

Not less remarkable was Ryder's
posthumous fame. Men who had new

Lin with trembling voices and every
outward evidence of the sincerest sor-
row. 1t was as il they had sustained
q personal loss, for his championship
of the strike had given him great
popularity, and his murder, growing
out of this championship, as all pre-
ferred to believe, made his death seem
species of martyrdom.
Indeed, the mere fact that he had
been murdered would have been sufti-
Gent to make him popular at any time.
He had supplied Antioch with glori-
GUS sensation. 1t was something to
talk over and discuss and shudder at,
and the town was grateful and happy
with the deep, calm joy of perfect
emotion.

which should be creditable alike to the
cause for which he had died and to the
manner of his death.
