When a maiden is betrothed in Ger Many she is called “bride” by her sweetheart, who addresses her thus until it becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrotha! the lovers exchange rings, which, i the course of true love runs smooth, are to be worn ever afterward untit death parts them. The woman wears her betrothal ring on the third fner ef her left hand until she is married, and then it ‘s transferred to the third finger of her right hand. The hus- band continues to wear the ring just as the wife wore hers when she was a “bride,” so that one can easily tell at @ glance if a man be or be not mort- gaged as to his affections. Memorials to Americans. Many American boys and girls visit Europe nowadays, but perhaps few even of these fortunate young folk are aware that the greatest of Eng: lish cities contains memorials to five distinguished Americans—a President, a patriot, a poet, a preacher, and a philanthropist. These five great men are Abraham Lincoln, James Russel! Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low, Matthew Simpson and George Peabody—five names written high in the Hall of Fame, names immortal in life and letters, names forever illus- trious in eharacter and achievement. —St. Nicholas. Bird Sentry on Guard. y I was interested on Sunday in watch- {ng the movements of birds. Crumb- ling a biscuit, I threw it out, sat down on the piaaza and awaited results. It was not long after the birds came and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by a bird, eyidently on guard on the top of the piazza, where, he could survey the whole scene, At his -warning every bird disappeared and remained in hiding until a reassuring mote was heard from the little sentry Posted on the piazga raof.—Bostop Vote For President to be cast Nov. §, 1904. to make it still more interesting, in ad | Grand First Prize of $8, 020. 90 >, “ WORLD’S FAIR CONTEST 7979__PRIZES Distrihuted to ihe Public—aggregating fo Grocers” Clarks | (see part tioulars in LICH (CONTEST BD $20,000.00 will be & to the o eontest opportuni Bis PRIZES, 6GF Simple Calisthenic Exercise That Will yBo Much.

Distant sound heard distinetly fore- bodes no good weather. If the sun “draws up water” it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the teakettle boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob- webs thickly spread upon the grass ave an indication of fair weather. Animal life seems, aecording to the popular notion, to have™ p r warnings | regarding the weather changes. Some of these are explain- able by natural causes. It is a fact recognized by all intelligent gtock- men that cattle have an intimation of an approaching storm some hours be fore it is visible te the human eye. ‘There is a certain restlessness which the cowboy has learned to interpret at once SMO EGER ERIE All Positions Have Drawbacks. £vex position in the world has its drawkat's, every line of work has its disagvseable side, and failure many times ean be traced to this shirking from nttending to the disagreeable, seere;2gly unimportant, cr difficult, task.

Five kinds of day are recognized, and it has been said that the word “day” has no real meaning without an adjective definirg what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil day, the astronomical day, the apparent solar y, the mean solar day, and the, sid- al day. The civil d gins at th. and consists of twenty-four hours counted after twelve o’clock; the astronomical day begirs twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean roan of the cor- responding civil day. These hours are reckoned from 0 to 24. It will be seen, therefore, that while 16b~. 12min., January ist astronomical time, is also 10br. i2min. January 1st civil time, yet 22hr..12min., January 1st as- tronomtcal time, is also 10hr. 12min. a. m., Jenuary 2nd civil time. There are many anomalies growing out of this use of the civil day, and there are snany arguments in favor of using the astronomical day. It is one cf the reforms which undoubdted? y will come some time.
