LORE OF THE WEDDING RING
Puritans valnly Sought to Abolish the
Embiem-Dlamond Best for
Betrothal Ring.

According to the ancient ritual in
marriage the husband began the ring
business by placing II upon the brides
thumb and putting II successfully on
the next two fingers. pronouncing for
each one a personal trinity. with q
final amen when the fourth finger WAS
reached, and there the ring remained.
The Greek church ritual directs that
tho ring be placed upon the right
hand. Puritan influence sought TO
abolish the ring as a vain and heather
emblem, but the sweet old fashion OF
giving and taking the emblem for our
loves sake" yet remains to us.
Betrothal or engagement rings vary
in fashion nowadays, and always de.
pend, or should, upon the purse Of the
donor. Where there are no limitations
OF this sort his taste, If II be perfect,
will lead him TO choose the diamond
solitaire, and of the best he can at
ford, a small and pure blue-whlte stone
being altogether preferable to large
stone. Some prefer a ring set with
three stones-generally a sapphire set
between two diamonds. Others select
q ruby or an emerald, which signifies
promise OF happiness.
Few persons choose pearls for an
engagement ring, as pearls are sup.
posed to typify tears. They are also
too perishable to become emblems OF
love, which. in its first glow, at least,
is understood to be indestructible,
Their beauty is very precarious, being
dimmed, or aged" as the lapldary ex.
presses 1t. by contact with impure air,
while acid annihilates them com.

American lnfiuanoo In cuha.

est countries on eafth-"American en-.

There is no doubt about the thanks
due to American energy AS to the
Cuban good sense and docility that
may be credited, also, but It is to be
remembered that there was not much
room for anything else thar compli.
ance with American orders when the
cleaning up began. Governor (now Gen
eral) Wood was at the seat of am.

the island. There was no room left
for anything but obedience-and a
good job It was, too! Moreover. one
of the conditions we imposed was that
the premises should be kept clean. wo
simply were not going to have a
plague spot at our doors any longer.
The world owes America for a clean

there is political peace because tho

An Esklmo's DWELLING.

We do not look for any great amount
OF inventive genius amons the Esqui.

ployed a rather complete respirator,
used in the preparation and taking OF
a vapor bath. as means of protection
from the dense smoke. This Esqui.
mau respirator is little basket woven
OF twisted strands of fine grass. 1t is
placed with It's shallow side against
the mouth, and wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
is held between the teeth. For this
purpose water is evaporated over a
big fire in very low hut, which is
tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
this sitting atmosphere the employ
ment of a respirator is absolutely nee

HOMES AND HOMES.

Dear Editor and Sisters of tile So- cial Corner: So many of the sisters have written so many nice letters of ,hGsne. thought l would say a few words regarding home.
 Yes. home should be the most sacred spot in this beautiful world of ours, but how many, many unhappy homes are there? Do you ever stop to think? 1 know of one instance where the moth- CT and wife is a very hard working woman-works hard late and early and strives every way to get along. Her husband-if he might be called a husband-drinks, oh! so hard; scarcely a day but he has drink of some kind; and spends his money for it that should go for his family expenses. Still that patient wife murmurs not a word, but tries to have his meals ready for him when he comes in. There are three children, and oftentimes they lack for the bare necessities of life. You would be surprised on entering that home what a cheerful reception that wife will give you. Always a pleasant greeting and kind words for all. She has often been asked why she don't get a divorce from such a man. She only smiles and replies, You know the VOW made for better or worse.'" This same woman is bitterly opposed to di Vorces.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION.

Editor Social Corner: I have not written to you for a long time, though l have often meant to. So many things have been written that I have wanted to respond to, but l have not been well and writing has been so hard.
 Hebron Widows appeal, however, impels me to say to her: Sister dear, l have so much faith in what one can do for children by expecting the best come about that in your prayers you will be asking for the best for them. You will often ask that they may be kept from evil, but more often be earnestly praying that they may be the means of helping others to do the right and so make this world better for their living in it.
 Then, knowing that Jesus is our sal vation and our example, they will be interested, perhaps, to be reminded attended the synagogues when He was on the earth. Tell them: We can learn more about Jesus and how to do and be the best if we go to church and Sunday school, than we can if we stay away.
 Of course, you go to church and Sunday school with them, if possible. If you are not too busy to get the lesson ahead of time, you might make an occasion to talk with them little about it if they do, or If they do not like to study it. They will enjoy the lesson in Sunday school so much more if they know something about it be- fore going All this striving is done that you may have the comfort Of good boys and send good men out in to the world. Do not expect them to smoke Or chew or drink. Be deter mined they shall not. Then will you both Watch and pray"

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I have read with interest all that has been said about home in this Corner and M. Roena presented to us a word picture which showed that home is transient and has no permanent endur- ance except in the heart The home of childhood and the home of maturity are broken up and swept away by the laws of nature; and love meets grief and the beauties of life seem to fade away, and the world looks dark. un- less we have kept faith alive and the light Of hope afame.
 It is for us to see God in life, so we can sing: Just a bit of green grow ing but enough for me to see the hand Of God a-working and a-doing things for me- and then we shah feel God within us and come to look with con- fidence to mansions in the skies the homes not made with hands. eter- nal in the heavens. Let us get inspi- ration from the old English song "AlPs for the best be sanguine and cheerful troubles and sorrows are friends in disguise; nothing but folly goes faith less and fearful, courage forever is happy and wise

Ike Old Home.

1r the quiet shadows of twilight 1 stand by the garden door, And gaze on the old, old homestead But the ivy now is twining
 Untrained OCT window and wall And no more the voice of the children Is echoing through the hall. Through years of pain and sorrow, Since first 1 had to part, The thought of the dear old home
 stead
 Has fingered around my heart; The porch embowered with roses, The gables dropping caves, And the song of the birds at twilight Amid the orchard leaves. And the forms of those who loved me In the happy childhood years, Appear at the dusky windows, Through vision dimmed with tears l hear their Voces calling
 From the shadowy far away, And 1 stretch my arms toward them In the gloom of the twilight gray. But only the night winds answer, AS I cry through the dismal air; And only the bat comes sweeping From the darkness of it's lair. Yet still the voice of my childhood Is ca ling from far away, And the faces of those who loved me Smile through the shadows gray.
