CUSTOM IS CENTURIES OLD
Slipper Thrown Today After Newly
Married Couples Had Its Origin In
the Far East.

According to a French historian the
custom Of throwing the slipper after
the newly married couple originated
in the far east, thousands and thou
sands of years ago, and from there
spread all over the world.
It is still practiced in the oriental
countries, but has developed into more
an act Of renunciation. A father, for
instance, who would renounce his son,
would do SO by taking OF his shoe,
and II he were near enough, strike
him with it, or If he were too far
away, throw it after him.
In the Roman days the loosing of
a shoe from a foot was the legal form
of renunciation, and came orig
inally from the popular folk lore.
Stories are on record in Egypt OF col
lections OF shoes and sandals being
made at the wedding Of rich man
and woman, and the vehicle in which
they were carried away fairly deluged
with them. 1t was all done in much
the same spirit in which such frolics
are carried on in modern days.

The Ring.
Thursday afternoon at four O'Clock
the clay abode of the man whose death
was mourned by the continent re-

cession started toward the cremato.
rum from the chapel of the Crystal
Palace. Gardens had been devastated
to furnish flowers; the streets were
carpeted with blooms. Immediately
following the coffin rode his only rela-
tive. the daughter Of Hannibal Pru-
dent. in an open carriage.
Her pale face spoke Of sleepless
nights and many tears, but her eyes
now we're dry. her classic face calm
and her carriage like that Of a queen.
And queen she was. not by the right
OF birth or inheritance, but by the
divine might that inhabited her superb
body.
Astra's mind was dazed from the
loss Of sleep and the pomp Of the fu-
neral ceremony. and her nerves were
well-nigh exhausted by the time she
arrived at her crystal home. As she
slowly mounted the steps her loss over
wheimed her; she had not fully real
lied it before. She went at once to
her boudoir, locked the door and,
throwing herself on a couch, sobbed
bitterly. Her mind reverted to the
past when the great man she had lost
had played with the little girl of Ave
years-with her: he was an old man
even then; but oh. how dearly she had
loved him.

When Napoleon Edison entered the

The girl looked into the face OF the
tall, handsome man and saw in his
large gray eyes an immeasurable cour-
age. The strong, well-shaped nose
curved over a pleasant mouth that
softened the stern expression OF the
eyes. The high. broad forehead was
shaded by dark brown hair. The broad
shoulders and the sinewy. muscular
form all gave evidence OF strength,
endurance and energy.

encountered the man he had met three
days before; the only difference was
that this time he was leaving and Am
brosio Hale was coming.
The tall man with those ferret-like
eyes, fox nose and brittle mustache
was evidently surprised. As he passed
the porter's gate he asked who the
stranger was. The porter could not
remember, but It was q name that
made him think Of Napoleon; whether
1t was Bonaparte or Caesar he could
not recall.
Mr.. Hale was received In the green
room.
Astra had peculiar dislike for that
color, not in nature. but In furnish
ings and clothing. and generally re-
ceived people che did not like in the
green room. That room had de-
pressing effect on her mentality, and
the people who visited her there soon

He pressed the hand of the girl
warmly. He knew that he had to win
her love or he would never reach the
goal he was longing for.
II wish you would consider me your

Indeed. Mr. Hale, assure you that

The intimate conversation did not
last long. as other visitors arrived and
spoiled Ambrosio Hale's ardently
longed for opportunity.
Before Astra fell asleep. she kissed
the glittering ring on which the word
Cirynith was family engraved.
That evening Napoleon Edison, ac-
companied by his short friend. sat in

WAS FIRST AMERICAN BARK
3osson institution That Issued $4oo., GOO in Scrip in 1714 Is Accorded
 That Honor.

The first bank in America, located on State street, Boston, loaned money on real estate, personal property and im perishable merchandise, though it had not the privilege of issuing money, then a prerogative of the Bay State colony. After a few years Bos- tons first branch discontinued busi- ness and was started in 1714, ten years after the first newspaper was printed in Boston. The new bank car ried on business and issued $400,000 ill scrip on the basis now sought by cer- tain financial promoters and leaders. It was scrip and nothing but scrip, and consequently the bank was short-lived.
 In 1742 land bank was founded by several hundred subscribers who gath cred in Boston as the bankers are meeting today and who attempted to relieve the scarcity of specie by is suing scrip based on real estate hold ings. A specie bank was also founded about the same time, but both insti- tutions found it as impossible to com pete with the "bills of credit" issued by nearly every colony as it would be today to rival the government in mint ing money. All this paper money rap idly depreciated in value, owing to the constant and heavy expenditure for military movements of offense and de fense against the Canadian French and their Indian allies
 In 1782, during the revolution. the Bank of North America of Philadel- phia received charter from congress, and it's operations in the Bay State in- spired the establishment of the Bank of Massachusetts in March, 17S4, an institution which is still in operation as the First National bank of Boston.

KILLING OFF THE FIT.

By far the most dreadful conse- quence of war is it's destruction of the very flower of nation, the young men who fight it's battles. These are, as rule, striplings of from IS to 25 years of age, the pick of it's manhood, chosen because they are physically perfect, free from defects of heart, lungs, eye and teeth, and thus able to sustain the fatigues of march and conflict. When these young men, the respective fathers of the succeeding generation, are killed off by the hun dreds of thousands, as is now being done, leaving a feebler stock to carry on the torch of life,, the effect cannot but be disastrous in lowering the vii tality, both physical and mental, of a nation. In the wars which began with the French Revolution and were con- tinued by Napoleon Bonaparte, cover ing nearly quarter of a century, it is estimated that not less than 6,OO0,- 900 French soldiers perished-a fear full loss, from which that country has never recovered. If the present war is long continued it is inevitable that the dreadful massacre of young men will have strong adverse influence on the futures of Germany, France and England especially.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

A wife gen. erally does all that servant would do, and a great deal more, works more hours day than man and goes through ordeais that are almost beyond human endurance, yet many wives do endure this for half century with only enough to eat and keep them warm. never having an extra dollar to spend. They even have to ask for money to buy postage stamps.
