PRICED AMBER AS ORNAMENT
Romans Secured II From "Barbarous"
Germans, Who Had Small Idea
of Its Real Value.

Amber, which is fossilized resin, was
in great demand among the Romans
for ornaments. Tacitus, in his
"Germania," tells that it was gathered
by the barbarian Germans. "They ex.
plore the sea for amber, in their
language called 'gleese,' and are the
only people who gather that curious
substance" he says. sit is generally
found among the shadows; sometimes
on the shore. Concerning the nature
Of the cause of this concretion the
barbarians, with their usual want Of
curiosity, make no inquiry. Amongst
OTHER superfluities discharged by the
sea this substance lay long neglected.
Till Roman luxury gave it a name and
brought it into request. To the saw
ages 1t is of no use. They gather
II into rude heaps and offer it for sale
without any form or polish, wondering
ct the price they receive for it."
Tacitus guessed correctly the origin
Of amber, saying: There Is reason
to think that amber is a distllation
from certain trees, since In the trans
parent medium we see a variety of
insects and even animals of the wing,
which, being caught in the viscous
fluid, are afterwards, when 1t grows
hard. INCORPORATED with it"

LEGEND MANY CENTURIES OLD
seory of the Wandering Jew" Has
Been Common to All Peoples
Since tho Crucifixion.

1t is an ancient legend, that Of the
Wandering Jew, and the earliest men,
lion I can find of 1t is said to be an
account related by an Armenian bish-
op in 1928. 1t has been exploited By
the novelist, the playwright, the poet
and the historian for 1t is subject
repiete with fascinating thrills.
Tales have differed as to the identlt,
Of the Wandering Jew. One relates
that he was Kartaphilos, a doorkeeper
in the judgment hall of Pontius plate
VINO, when the Man of Sorrows Yves
passing through, struck him, saying
go on faster, Jesus" and the replywas
II am going, but thou shall larry till
come again." A German legend takes
1t up and relates that in the year 1547
the Jew appeared in Hamburg, giving
his name as Ahasuerus. saying that
he had been shoemaker In Jerusalem
at the time Of the crucifxion. When
Jesus paused at his door to rest the
cobbler pushed Him away, bidding
Him leave, to which the reply was !:
Truly I go away and that quickly,
but tarry thou till I come again"
And this tradition has it that the
condemned man, going from country
to country, speaking all languages
wandered throughout the centuries.

Jerusalem as pale, with the single line
of his black brows crossing from tenn
pie to temple, ever urged by the

fLOWER-PCT As BRIDEGROOM
Unique Ceremony Which Transforms
Chinese Girl Into FuII-FIedged
and Privileged Widow.

Ghina is still a land of strange Gus
toms, one of the most curious being
the ceremony of a fower-pot mar
rage.
When the man whom a Chinese girl
is to marry dies shortly before the
date fixed for the wedding, the grief
stricken bride-elect sometimes takes
a VOW never to marry. Should she
do so, she goes through the ceremony
OF wedding an ordinary fower-pot.
She is now considered a widow, and
upon the parents of her intended hus-
band falls the responsibility Of main
tanning her. Usually she goes to live
with them.
In many cases, especially where the
family is poor, great sacrifices are nee
essary in order that the daughter-in.
law Gas she is now regarded) may be
properly cared for. But the parents
have no option in the matter. And,
actually, they have no desire to shirk
their responsibilities, for the faithful
ness Of the widow" brings great
honor to the bridegroom's family, 1.
being considered quite a disgrace
should the bride-elect not wish to
go through the ceremony of marrying
the flower-pot.
In the days before China was a re-
public, the emperor, upon the facts
being brought to his notice, had
