Art on the Safe Door.

ct wonder if anyone can tell me
why it is customary to paint on the
front door of a safe some sort of rural
scene?" he asked, as he left the bust
ness office. almost all safes have a
lake with a couple of trees in the
background, or else a field with a
stake and rider fence emblazoned on
the door.
Perhaps ii is TO give the idea that
peace and quiet OF the country type
are to be found within the safe.
There may be some idea of soothing
the mind of the beholder doubly. Just
where the custom started | do not
know and what the significance is

Modern HindOO Women.

Within five short years a great
change has come over a section of the
native population of Lahore. Children
of native gentlemen can be seen being
taken out for an airing by ayahs morn
ing and evening. Certain bold men
have begun to take out their wives in
the evening for drive in open vehi-
cles.
A week ago we saw the daughter of
man of position walking with her
father on the railway platform at La
hore. She was dressed in what SEEM
ed like an English gown, had English
shoes on and when her husband came
up left her father and walked about
with him. Her face was quite uncov-
cred. Let those who have relatives in
Lahore go there and see for themsel-
yes the state of things. They will see
wives going out shoulder to shoulder
with their husbands in the evenings,
having said goodby to old restrict
tions.
A man who would dare reimpose the
old manners on his womankind would
receive scant courtesy.-Punjab Jour-

THE NORMAN "OYEZ."
A Legacy Of William the Conqueror te
the Courts,

the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been in a
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out:
"OyeZ, oyez, oyez, the honorable court
of the (whatever district it may be) is
now in session"
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez, oyez, oyez,"
instead of "harken, harken, harken,
because of a chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
reEuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, bis native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, oyez," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as q reminder OF

Harold in the battle of Hastings

Weddinu Rinq Notices.

The custom of inscribing within the
hoop of the betrothal or wedding ring
a motto or "posy' as it was called,
was formerly very prevalent. Hamlet
asks, "Is this prologue or the posy of
a ring?" Some posies were very ten
der and beautiful. Among the more
appropriate posies may be mentioned
''Deux corps. un coeur," "My heart
and | until die and Il am yours
from sixteenth century rings. Love
ever "Love true, it's joy" and "Tinc
lesseneth not my love" from the seven
teenth century. Love me" MY soul
will keep thine company to heaven
and "En ma fidelite je fniral ma vie''

"Florizel" (afterward George 1V) gave
to the hapless Perdita were the words

He turned the card over. 1t was in

After severe mental struggle every

zled over the comment through the
day, ard when Lottie came in to see
about some dress lining he gazed hun
grily at the flushed face and wondered
when the right time would come.
Apparently it was not the right time
yet, for Lottie left the store with q
bundle under her arm, and his nearest
approach to sentiment had been to
| cut the price Of the lining 2 cents a
yard.
He thought Of dozen clever
speeches he might have made, but not
until she had gone.
He was still thinking them over as
! he dressed the window that evening.
Wisner made a point of frequent
changes in the display, and every Fri
day evening he fastened a canvas
screen outside the plate glass and
changed the dressing, running out
many times to observe the effect be-
fore he pulled down the inner curtains
| and took down the screen, content
that the Saturday shoppers would be
attracted by his display.
He had just commenced to dress the
window after removing the old stock
when one corner Of the screen was
lifted and Lottie's smiling face was
seen through the glass.
Wisner smiled and nodded in reply
to her greeting, and he was about to
beckon her to wait until he could join
her on the sidewalk when his hand
or tJ,n or ;al, ~ lo
new price tags. He caught up the top
one and pinned it on his coat, striking
an attitude in imitation Of the dummy
forms.
Lottie laughed at the sign, which
read, "a Real Bargain at the Price, -
and the end of the screen dropped.
For one awful moment Wisner
thought that she had been disgusted
by the clownish appeal.
He could not know that even eyes
that are gray and unromantic can tell
their story of love. Lottie had read
their plea, and a moment later Wisner
heard the store door open and close
again, and q moment later Lottie's
face appeared at the door to the win
dow.
Il think I'll take that bargain, Sid
ney," she said as her cheeks were
dyed a deeper red. "You can wrap it
up, and I'll take it home with me-to
talk to father
The bargain sprang from the VIM
dow, but it was half an hour before it
wrapped itself up-in it's oyercoat-
and was taken home to talk to Homer
Vincent.
Il thought you couldn't resist bar
gain,'' he jubilated as they hurried
along the street.
Lottie gave the strong arm little
hug. You'd be dear at any price,"
she cooed.
