The little customs that have tome
to be a part of the marriage cere-
tnony have had diverse and IntereFt

Important part.
With the coming In of Christian
ity It was no longer placed on the
right forefinger but on the left third
finger. The priest, or in some cases
the groom, first put it on the thumb,
saying. "In the name of the Father:"
ot the forefinger, adding. "In the
tinnie of the Son;" on the second fin
ger, continuing. "In the name of tt-,
Holy Ghost;" then on the third lln

Why is a new house unhealthfulT
That is a question that has Deen ask
ed by many and been answered by
few. And yet the reason is obvious.
In the construction of just one uio
dulm sized house it is estimated
that over thirty thousand gallons of
water is used.
This water does not evaporate as
quickly as it would in the air and
sunlight, but lies n-)ar the surface of
the earth under the houso and In the
walls of the cellar. Hence, ;he
bouse is damp, and damp bouses fos

standing for a year or so, is rnuoh
more healthful than a new one.

In the first year of the United
States Patent office' existence. 1790,
a woman took out a patent. Up to
the present time about 3.9S8 patents
have been granted to women. Among
the early women Inventors may be
mentioned Miss Mary Kles, who, In

AN INGENIOUS CIPHR.
Embodied In the Missive of o Seem
ingly Unsophisficable friend.
During the great rebellion, Sir John
Trevnnlon, a distinguished oavallur,
was made prisoner and locked up in
Colchester castle. Sir Charles Lu
cas and Sir George Uslo had Jiwt beon
made examples of as a warning to
"umllgnunts, and Trevanlou had ev
ery reaaon to expect a similar end.
As he awaited his doom he was
startled by the entrance of the Jailer,
who handed him a letter.
"May't do thee good," growled tne
fellow. "It has been weel looked
to before it was permitted to come to
you."
Sir John took the letter, and the
Jailer left him hie lamp by which to
read it.
"Worth ie Sir John, Hope, that is
ye best comfort of ye afflicted, cannot
much, I fear me, help you now. That
I wolde say to you. Is thl3 only: ii
ever I may be able to requite that I
uo owe you, stand not upon asking of
me. 'Tls not much I can do; but
what I can do, bee thou verle Bute

ordinary men fear It, it frig'nts not
you, accounting it for a high honour
to have such a rewarde of your loy

you nicy be.
"I ftar not that you will grudge
any sufferings. Only if bie submis

part of a wise man. Tell me, an If
yu can, to do for you any things
that you wolde have done. The gen
eral goes back on Wednesday., Hes

Now, this letter was written accord
ing to a preconcerted cipher. Every
third letter after a etop was to tell.
In this way Sir John made out: "Pan

Some Scientific liees.
Apropos of nature faking, the fol
lowing story, vouched for by no less
a person than M. Gaston Bonnier,
and set forth In the ultra-scientific
coupte Lenders of the Paris Academy
of Sciences, Is of interest. It has to
do with bees. M. Bonnier placed :u
his garden several lumps of sugar.
The bees tried to bite off particles
with their mandibles but couldn't.
He then marked them and they flew
off to the blve. In about two hours
the first lot came back bringing some
companions with them. But before
tackling the sugar they flew to a
fountain in the garden and filled
"their crops" with water. Upon
alighting upon the sugrr the water
was pumped out, and soon trans
formed the former into syrup, when,
of course, each bee filled "his crop"
and started back for tha hive. From
this two conclusions seem legitimate
llrut. that bees understand the
principles of syrup making, and, sec
ondly, that they can communicate
their discoveries to one another.
