EXPLAINED ONLY BY THEORY
Origin of Band Called the Wedding Ring Is Wrapped in the Deep-
 est Obscurity.

Why Is wedding ring? Why does woman who becomes his bride? Why doesn't he give her a bracelet or a neck lace, or pair of earrings? Why is a ring the universal symbol used at we'd dings? And what is it symbol of? Ever stop to think about all this? Probably not. When you were ready to marry, you hustled off to the near est jewellers and bought ring for your bride, and, as far as you were concerned, that ended the matter.
 The origin of the wedding ring Is wrapped in obscurity. A number of theories have been advanced to ex- plain 1t. One harkS back to ancient Egypt. Before the time of hints and coinage in Egypt, gold money was made in the form of ring, and the fingers of a mans hands were his most convenient bank He wore his money. When an enamored swain slipped one of these money rings on his brides finger, he did 1t to sym belize that he gave her not only him. self, but his fortune. He meant, in fact, just what the modern bridegroom means when he says in the ceremony of the ring at the altar. with all my worldly goods I thee endow."
 The styles today are bands of gold or platinum, plain or engraved, for wedding rings, and solitaire or cluster rings of any kind of gems, preferably diamonds or pearls, for engagement

FORTUNATE IS HOMELY MAN
If Unduly Attractive, the Unhappy Male Seems Doomed to Misfor- et tune All His Life.

I have no objection whatsoever to children being beautiful, or to young girls being beautiful, or to a woman of whatever age being beautiful. But I do Insist that for a man not to be homely is his misfortune, Irwin S.. Cobb writes in American Magazine. The handsome male starts with a handicap at the very cradle.
 Women of all ages insist on cOoing over him and talking baby talk to him and chucking him under the chin and kissing him-especially kissing him and since he Is not of an age to ap- preciate these attentions the whole procedure must annoy him fearfully.
 Should his beauty last into his boy hood the chances are that he has the sort of mother who will make him wear his hair long and force him to go about publicly in a broad lace collar and a black velvet suit with sash about his waist, and that means other boys will call him by offensively apt nicknames and generally make his young life burden to him.
 Most wOeful of it all, if still his beauty sticks to him after he has ar rived at mans estate, only de termined and persistent struggle against the odds of destiny and of cir ing into the ranks of the matinee idols, the moving picture stars and the foorwalkers in the department stores.

GROW FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL
Cedars Flourish in Full Vigor at Alti-
 tudes surpassing Height of Most Mountain Peaks.

Eleven thousand one hundred feet al-
 titu de above sea level Is some distance above the clouds for the habitat of species of great tree which attains a circumference of Is and even Is feet.
 The tree is the western mountain ce-
 dar, and 1t is found growing in full
 vigor at elevations of from 5000 to
 over II ,OOO feet in the southern portion
 of the Sierra Nevada and where this
 huge mountain chain merges over into
 the Sierra Madre running down into
 Mexico. In most of the mountain re
 gions of the United States 11,OOO feet
 is at or above timber line, but in these
 southern Sierras are many genial high
 valleys and pockets where huge trees
 are found at attitudes which surpass the height of most mountain peaks. The snow covers the peaks and slopes for a great portion of the year, but with the earliest melting the trees start growing and in the case of the mountain cedars make an even greater annual growth than many of the low land trees where the want of water compels short growing season. These huge mountain cedars are close cOus- lns to the great cedars of Lebanon from the timbers of which the temple at Jerusalem was built. The American cedars, however, are more upright In growth than the cedars of the Old World.
