A man who was buying wedding
ring unconSciousiy impaired the infor-
nation that the bride was an English
woman.
Then this ring will never suit her."
said the clerk. 1T IS 4 good ring. but
1t Is eighteen karat. Nothing less than
twenty-five karat wedding ring Will
satisfy an Englishwoman. The eight
cen karat ring is the usual wedding
ring in this country. but in England
and France, Oad indeed in most Euro
pean countries, the bride would refuse
at the very altar man who offered to
marry her with any other than TWEEN
ty-two karat ring."-New York sun.

Antiquity of Slavery.

Slavery is pretty nearly as old as the
race. 1t began so far back that the
memory of man, assisted by the still
greater memory OF history, can recall
no time when it did not exist. 1t would
be difficult to say who were the first
slaves. In all the nations around the
Mediterranean. where civilization is
supposed to have started. the institu-
ton began early to flourish and held
on right down through feudalism to
modern times.
