MoTTOEs IN WEDDING RINGS
Wearing Plain Gold Circlet By the
 Bridegroom Continental Custom

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 Any agitation to abolish the wedding ring must be stamped out said the Rev. Hugh Chapman. Meantime, perhaps. the extremists would be satisfied if man wore a ring as well as the woman-the practice on the continent Perhaps they will some day"
 Here in England it is not the custom for men to wear such rings. and that Is the answer given whenever the suggestion is brought forward. But it does not follow that what is not the custom now should not be the custom next year or next week or~that matter. It is the age of progress and it would surely be a matter of pro- gression were some definite rule laid down that when a man marries he should carry some badge which would identify him from his single brethren.
 There are a certainu number of Belcher rings worn by men. sometimes on the fourth or little finger and sometimes on the third finger of the left hand. These rings are very broad, plain circlets of gold and more often than not are affected by bachelors. merely as an ornament. In a. few cases they are used as wedding rings by men. Well known firms of jewellers say that the proportion of wedding rings sold in pairs, that is, one for the bride groom and one for the bride, Is compara- lively small.
 But when a foreigner marries an En- glishwoman he very often orders two rings: when two foreigners marry in Eng land 1t is generally the rule for each of them to have a ring. Therefore it is 10 foreigners living in England that wedding rings for men are largely sold The man 5 ring Is much narrower than the "Belcher' ring, ahd, therefore. once the difference between the two styles became generally known 1t could not be confounded with It.
 In days gone by-in the 18th. 17th and 18th centuries-when people were not so matter of fact as they are now and had more time. perhaps. to think of sentiment it was the fashion to have a motto or ''posy' engraved inside the wedding ring; many beautiful thoughts were hidden away under the plain gold circlet ,thich adorned a woman's hand Many. no doubt. are familiar with the French mot to. 'Apres 'Dieu e'est foi que. je t'aime," and perhaps the English motto is some what similar, Tn God and thee all com fort be-"
 Another posy reads, Tn veal and woe my love I'll show,' and Joy and care let us take share" and most praiseworthy Is the wish. Love and respect do ex- pect, which Is the expectation of every wife, no doubt. The posy. Love is sure where faith is pure" Is another beautiful sentiment. and equally so, Not mine nor thine, but ours;" slightly different yer sion reads, Not two. but one, till life be done" An inscription found in an old wedding ring ran. Virtue passeth riches. and in another. Whilst life is myn my

The Actor in Australia

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
 The actor. bronzed from long sea voy- age. was praising Australia, whence he had just returned.
 "Australia's the placel" he cried enthu- siasticaly. 'Tf a pretty actress makes a hit over there the warm hearted Aus tralians aren't content with passing flow CTS over the footlights to her.

Chicago at Lunch at Newport

From the Chicago Evening Post. Table sagacity is not invariably confined to picking out the right fork or spoon, or to tilting either at the proper angle A Hedging diner out, theoretically, may keen up conversation with his designate ed companion, and also an eager eye on a
 model across the way. merely casual hesitancy will allow him to stall until he sees what weapon to choose for the fish.
 The chance for the majority of us to decide what to do in an emergency, are remote, but are to be considered. Place yourself in the situation of Frederick tp- ham Adams at Newport.
 MT. Adams had accepted an invitation from the o. II. P. Bemonts-the male one' to be exact-and after a Scotch overture luncheon was announced.

 nothing for him to do but to proceed. He
 recalled 'Tvanhoe" and the carrying of

THE MAN TRIP
By ETHEL ARMIES Author of the Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama

That the walk from below to the top in a deep driven mine works an unneces- sary hardship on the miner is a fact be- coming generally recognized by the ma- jority of the coal and iron companies of the Birmingham district.
 In cases where the slopes are easy and gradual and not driven far in, the man way, of course. suffices: but, under the opposite conditions, the man trip is es- sential. Not only Is it humane, but it is good business.
 Tt saves time and labor and is an economy every way you look at it." said progressive mining man. "The work ing conditions are changing materially in the coal and ore mines of Alabama as the years go by. The business is not in it's infancy and longer; the mines are not little holes in the ground-that is, all of them aren't. We have some mines that compare in every way with the best in the United States.
 Whenever the slope is driven very deep and the way for the miner IS steep and long 1t Is nothing more nor less than cruelty to expect the poor fellow to foot it.
 Put yourself in his place. Say you have a mile or half a mile to walk early of morning from your home to the mine, as hundreds of the men do. Then you load up with your tools and with your lamp. powder. dinner bucket, down the mine you go. It may take you hali hour or an hour before you get to your place-iust so much lost tiaie for your- self and the company.

The slopes there are pretty nearly yer teal and driven thousands of feet deep would kill a man who tried to walk it.

 At the ore mines of the Republic Iron and Steel company they run what they call slow drag" four or five times daily, beginning at 6:30 and com ing up at o'clock, and 5:30. The men crowd into the big skip which stops at certain designated landings and picks up the men as it creeps to the outer air.
