ROBIMG THE BRIDE.
Early Saxon Customs and the Advent
Of tho Flowing veiI.

Early Saxon Customs and the Advent
Of tho Flowing Veil.
In the old days, as now, the bride
generally dressed in white. From early
Saxon times down to the eighteenth
century bride Of the poorer classes
came to the wedding arrayed in plain
white robe as public warning that
since she brought nothing to the mar
rage her husband was not responsible
for her debts
Brides soon began to add some little
touch Of color. Blue was for constan-
cy and green for youth, but in some
places these might not be used be-
cause Of feuds between families having
these tints in their liveries. Yellow
might not be worn. as it stood for
Jealousy; golden might not, as It
meant avarice.
The Anglo Saxon bride went to the
wedding with her hair hanging loose
as sign Of freedom. but upon reach
ing her new house Immediately bound
it up as q sign Of submission. In the
days of Shakespeare the veil began to
take the place of the flowing tresses,
but this. however. was not original
with the British, for centuries earlier
the Roman and Hebrew brides had
worn yellow wells. while the early
Christians Of southern Europe had en-
veloped both man and wife in one
large cloth.
Whatever was lacking. however. in
gorgeousness of dress was compensat-
ed among all the nations by the pro-
fusion of flowers chosen for their sig
nificance.--Uncle Remus' Magazine

these were in turn held in place by

the anchors.
The British made no specific attacl
on this then invincible obstacle. for It
must be remembered that in those
days there was no dynamite nor tor
pedoes, and none of the enemy's prows
would have pushed their way through
such barrier.
Although the British did not succeed
in passing the big Hudson river chain,
the American traitor Arnold gave It
his particular attention and removed
link Of 1t under the pretense Of hav.
ing it repaired for weakness at near
by smithy. He wrote to Major Andre
that 1t would not be replaced until the
forts were surrendered to the British.
But somehow the chain stood for its
purpose. and Sir Henry Clinton did
not attempt to relieve Burgoyne.
Parts of this celebrated chain are to
be seen among various historical Gu
rios Of prominent societies. A number
of years ago Mayor Hewitt Of New
York, then the owner of mine near
the Sterling properties, became inter-
ested in finding out the whereabouts of
the remaining portions Of the chain. A
large part of it lies ut the bottom Of
the river, about thirty tons were In
various possessions, and at West Point
there are thirteen links. and a staple
placed near the spot where the chain
was anchored and plate tells Of the
date and place Of forging.-Bostfn

Pompeii was buried in ashes or light
scoria, while Herculaneum was en-
tOmbed in lava, which, after cooling,
hardened into a material Of the con-
sistency of marble. and we thus have
the explanation Of the fact that while
the first city has long been unearthed
the latter is still largely covered with
its ancient lava shroud. Excavations
are constantly going on at Herculane-
um, and the work will in all probable
ity continue to the finish. but 1t is not
likely that any especially important re-
suits will accrue since the life Of the
two cities was practically the same

PERFORATED COINS.
Uncle Sam Tried Them Several Times,
but Without Success.


Perforated coins were never In ia
vor in the United States, though vari-
Gus efforts were made to popularize
them. The first United States coin
with perforated center was gold
dollar issued in 1849. which had a
square hole in the middle of the
planchet. 1t was the forerunner Of the
gold dollar issued by the United States
mint in 1S49. The coin was engraved.
not struck from dies.
The next United States coin with
perforated center was issued from the
Philadelphia mint in 1850. and was of
the denomination of / cent. 1t was
about the size of the bronze cent now
in use. At that time the large. old
fashioned copper cent was in general
circulation. and the perforated coin re-
ceived the name Of ring cent" The
designer reasoned that by means of
the perforatiOn the cent could be dis
tinguished by touch from the dime.
Another perforated cent issued the
same year showed two rings in the
field with the words. Gent. One-tenth
Silver" The reverse showed an olive
wreath around the perforation and the
words, United States Of America"
The mint authorities undertook to
design a coin that would answer all
requirements. and the pieces were
struck with both pierced and perfect
centers in silver. copper. nickel and
cOmDOSitiOn metal six varieties in all
without counting the various metals.
but none Of the designs was favored
by the government authorities. and
consequently they were never put In
general circulation.
The only gold half dollar ever pro-
duced at the United States mint was
struck in 1852 1t had a perforation
in the center. and the diverse showed
wavy circle around the perforation.
with the inscription, United States Of
America" around the border. The re-
verse was blank. The coin was ex-
actly half the weight Of the dollar
Regardless Of the generally accepted
idea the gold fifty cent pieces with
which the public is familiar were not
an issue Of the United States. but were
manufactured by California jewelers.
There has not been any attempt to in
troduce the perforated coin in the
United States since 1884. In that year
two pieces Of the denominations of
and cents were issued at the Phila-
delphia mint-Harper's Weekly.

A Chain OF fame.
The Barrier Washington Erected
Across the Hudson.
ARNOLD REMOVED ONE LINK.

Still the Monster Gable, In Spite Of the
Traitors Act, Served Its Purpose and
Blocked the Progress of the British
Ships Up the River.
Somewhere in the bed of the Hudson
river just off Of West Point lies buried
the larger part of a great iron chain,
one of several ordered by General
Washington during the Revolution to
be constructed to prevent the enemy
from ascending certain rivers to &C.
complish strategic points Of vantage.
The British were making strenuous
efforts to get hold Of the Hudson in
order to keep free communication with
Canada by the additional channels of
the st. Lawrence and Lake Champlain.
and so 1t was determined to obstruct
the Hudson By great chain crossing
from Fort Montgomery to Anthony's
Nose.
But this was failure. The chain
parted within a week after it had been
stretched. and. although subsequently
raised and again placed. it was de
stroyed by the British.
Finally Washington decided to forge
another and Obstruct the river between
West Point and Constitution island, for
here there was an abrupt change of
course, and heavy tide reduced the
speed of any ship encountering 1t. Be
sides, the channel was 300 feet narrow
er at this crossing.
The forging Of chain such as was
contemplated was then no small under
taking. Requests were secretly sent
to various iron companies, and among
the bids the most favorable came from
the Sterling Iron works, situated in
one Of the most beautiful regions of
the east, now within the fashionable
domains of Tuxedo Park.
1t was originally organized by Lord
Sterling in 1851, we'll known officer
in the Revolutionary army, and con-
tinued In operation for more than q
hundred years, meanwhile passing into
the possession Of Abel Noble, who
married niece Of Peter Townsend
and who now in association with the
latter increased the capacity Of the
works which eventually came into the
entire possession Of Peter Townsend,
patriot and filled with the spirit Of
the time
He finally obtained a few Welsh min
ers from Pennsylvania for the heavy
handling in the forging and a number
of men from Connecticut with their
OK teams to do the hauling, and when
the chain was ready it was drawn
over the rough mountainous roads and
through forests that had to be pur-
posely cut in many places and so on
to New Windsor, the nearest river
point. and towed to West Point
1t was strenuous undertaking from
the very start. Each link weighed 300
pounds. was two. feet in length and
two and quarter inches square, and
each 100 feet was secured by a swivel,
twisting link, and at every thousand
feet there was a clevis. The whole
of this weighed 1856 TONS When It
was stretched across from West Point
to Constitution island it was buoyed
up by large sixteen foot logs. and

DINING ON SHIPB0ARD.
Different Now From What Il Was
Whom Dickens Visited us.

| when dickens vtotveo Vs.
| When Dickens came over to America
some seventy odd years ago there was
one large table in the dining room for
the passengers. The first officer sat at
the head. carving the turkey with all
the grace he could command between
lurches of the wood ship. trusting to
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their helpings.
Today the dining room Of a large
ship looks like the dining room Of a
fine hotel. 1t is just as exquisitely ap
pointed and has every good thing to
eat that can be found on land. In
fact one of the new ships has a res
taurant named after a famous one In
New York. and the two keep in touch
by wireless so that the menus. day by
day. are the same. Think Of having
your dinner arranged by wireless
your macaroni by Marconi!
The dining room Is divided up into
number Of small tables. so that you
can have your own party. with only
half dozen Of you. with your own
waiter, instead Of sitting at long ta-
BILE and passing your plate. as Dickens
did.
The development of the wonders of
cold storage has done more than any
other one thing to make life on the
ocean wave one long round of Joy

Antiquity Of the Census.

The idea Of the census is almost as
old as history itself King Amasis of
Egypt took census of his people 500
years before Christ The Athenian So
Ion established a census for the pur.
pose of facilitating taxation. We learn
that about 443 r. C. Servius julius

chaos Of the dark ages the census
dropped into oblivion. but was re-
vived again about the beginning Of the
eighteenth century.
