THE USE OF WEBBING RINGS.

In the Isle Of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument
OF torture Cyril Davenport, in his
book on "Jewelry." remarks that there
once existed a custom in that island,
according to which an unmarried girl
who had been offended by a man could
bring him to trial, and If he were
foand guilty she would be presented
with sword, a rope and ring. With
the sword she might cut off his head:
with the rope she might hang him, or
with the ring she might marry him.
II is said that the last-named punish
ment was almost invariably inflicted.
The wedding ring was anathema to the
early Puritans who regarded personal
adornment as one of the many snares
of Satan. In the old English marriage
service il was the custom for the
bridegroom to put the ring on the
thumb Of the bride, saying, I'm the
name OF the Father" then ON the next
finger. saying "and the Son." then on
the third finger. saying land of the
Holy Ghost" finally on the fourth
finger with the word Amen" The
ring was left there because, as the
Serum rubric says. "a vein proceedeth
thence to the heart" In all modern
marriage services the early ceremony
Is greatly shortened, as all who have
endured It knows The ring is placed
at once on the third finger, the invo-
cation to the Trinity being under
stood.

The argument has been advanced
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on hearings for increased
railroad rates that the roads are car
rying too cheaply certain classes OF
luxury travel II IS urged that many
sleeping. parlor and dining cars are
being hauled when the roads get lit
tie additional revenue out of them.
perhaps none at all.
When heavy car is hauled over the
road there is an additional cost for
motive power The man that uses
the car is the one TO pay that cost.
Most OF the cars referred to are very
heavy and II takes big engines and q
lot OF coal to haul them
On long runs the sleeping car has
passed the luxury stage. The major
ity OF its patrons are not tourists. but
business people on commercial err
rands. But still it has features that
are needlessly costly. In the past
many Of these ears were run with
conductor for one or two cars only,
and a porter for each car. and many
Of them may be running that way now
Frequently the most Of the revenue
from train comes from the passen-
gers crowded III one or two day
coaches. while the few passengers in
the more luxurious cars do not begin
to pay the cost Of hauling them. The
reason for running such cars is often
the sharp competition between lines
which lead the companies to run un-
profitable and nearly empty cars Du-
plication OF that kind Is costly to the
public.
If the railroads are entitled to adj
yances OF rates the occupants of the
more luxurious cars should be the first
to pay. and they should be charged a
fair assessment for the extra cost of
hauling these coaches.

AWAY WITH THE BUSINESS HoG.

Real patriotism and unselflshness
are crowding the proiiteer these days,
and they are likely to jostle him more
than ever as the days go by The
governments intention to make things
very uncomfortable and Improbable
for the hog in business is TO be made
more effective by hundreds OF thou
ands Of reputable business men. The
Baltimore News cites an instance
quite worthy of note right along this
line:
"The dominating note in the Mary
land Gamers Convention, which clos
ed with banquet at the Emerson
Hotel. was the willingness of the men,
bership to forego ordinary selfishness
in war times and conduct their bust
ness with a main eye for the good Of
the nation. This spirit was evident
clear through the convention, and the
Gamers made their sacrificial spirit
felt by the genuine applause they gave
speakers on both days who told them
that they must submit themselves TO
the expectation of small profits and
give their chief attention to helping
out the government. The sentiment
Of this country now is away with the
hog in business.

THRIPT STAMPS.

The origination OF the thrift stamp
opens the way for every child who
wants TO do his bit" He may not
have been able 10 buy a Liberty Bond
Of either issue. but his chance TO
serve his country in very real way
is at hand There is a double purpose
to be served helping his government
10 win the war; helping himself 10
form the thrift habit. one of the big
gest assets for his future life
Thrift stamps can solve many gift
problem this Christmas; more es-
pecially as by common consent, pre-
sents this year are to be OF the very
practical kind.
The adoption of this mode of serv-
iceable patriotism will repay parent
and child alike: also it will go q long
way towards filing the crevices in
Uncle Sans war chest.
Why not let few thrift cards be
among the Christmas cards this year?
ito think what we all would miss il
there were no Christmas season? Sup
pose the Christ Child had never come
to earth at all. Contrast the present
brightness and gladness, and JOY with
the darkness and gloom and sorrow
OF world without Christ. Take away
all the churches, hospitals and chart
table institutions which Christianity
has caused to be erected. Tear out
from the literature of the world all
the beautiful passages relating to the
birth and life and death OF the Son OF
God. Take from the human heart the
blessed hope and comfort that Christ
brought to the world. Let there be no
longer an assurance that God so loved
the world that He gave His only Son
to redeem it"-and what is there left?
Over the brow of few tomorrows
Christmas will be here asain-Christ-
mas the birthday of the Christ Child,
the hottest. happiest season of all the
year, the dominant note of which is
Peace and Good Will
From out the centuries of the past.
and even above the din of battle now
raging, alas, in Christian chimes, can
still be heard the echo of the message
delivered to the Shepherds; and over
all can still be seen the mellow glow
OF the star that led the Magi.
More snow will raise suspicion
that the weather man is in cahoots
with the coal profiteers.

Tucson. Ariz., Aug. 9.-With the ar
rest of two ringleaders among the
Apache Indian strikers at the asbestos
mines in the Sierra Anchas mountains.
fears of a spread of the uprising have
been allayed. according to a long dis
tance telephone message this morning

ton. officers are bringing the two
arrested men, known as Montana
and Johnny Cook, to Globe on charges
of disturbing the peace.
Rains of the last two nights and ef-
forts of the forest rangers have
checked the forest fires. which were
said to have been started by the
Apache strikers at the mine. None of
the white miners who took refuge in
a mountain pass when the Indians
went on strike had been injured All
have returned to the asbestos work
ings. 1t was first reported they had
taken refuge in a "dugout' at the
mine.
