OASKINS, Clerk to the Board of County Com missioners. 5 10 4tc .1 Vi 2 LeoeiirMake Proraethettt the Pioneer - r J if Custom That May Now B ; ; 4 The - first linger ring- la supposed, to" have i peen .-ivorn- by Prometheus, who stole fire ! from heaven that man might warn himself - and i cook - hit -food3Wrt ; that the king of gods condemned him to beainedupon a rock where ; vul tures could constantly feast upon htm. The entenc 'was carried put, , but Prometheuff was released. Then Jupiter ordered , that Prometheus wear a link' tf chain about his finger as a remin der" of the punishment. A fragment of .the jock to - which he had been chained was set' In" the ring, so that he might still be regarded as being bound to the rock.' The custom of wearing an engage ment or-wedding ring upon the third finger i due to an ancient belief that a nerve or Tela 41recOy " connected this finger with the heart, according to a writer In the Pittsburgh Dis patch. - MaeroblTur said : "Because of this nerve thernewly betrothed places the ring "on thfs5" finger or his be loved, 'as thought It were a representa tion of the heart," And just to show that the -practice is a very old one, Macrobius admitted having obtained the facts from' an Egyptian priest, thus linking the belief with the dim Teaches of the past. "Junior" Beeemblee His Papa. His friends said it was excusable because It" was his first boy. He- ex hibited the- photograph- at the bank where he wa employed. "Isn't e a wonder r the young fa ther would emy passing it through the window. ' ou bet he hi really good looking and intelligent J yes, he does resemble his father." And papa would : beam and act as though he had not noticed the flattering smile. All day the same thing was' repeated as friends entered the bank. - He was "real tickled" with himself when he went home, that night and handed the package of photographs to his wife. As she opened it the much flattered papa told her how his friends had admired "Junior," and did she think the little fellow looked as much like him es people, had said? Mrs. Bank Teller took one look at the contents of the package. "Why, dearie, the photographer has made a mistake; he gave you the wrong pictures." Kansas City Star, Ctook Tower of Jerusalem. Since the occupation of the holy city of Jerusalem by the British It is gradually becoming more western ized. For the first time in its history its streets are properly cleaned and it has been given a fire brigade ser vice and now as efficient water-supply. Hitherto its inhabitants de pended upon a few wells and water collected in overhead cisterns. The telephone, too, haa been introduced. Its most striking improvement though it is one that was carried out Just prior to the war was the erec tion of a fine dock tower at the Jaffa gate. It Is built of white stone obtained from Solomon's quarries, of which the temple was constructed. The dock. see " - Arabic time;- -. Opposite - the " toweral drinking' fountain - has been 'erected, and the roadway which leads through the old walls into - the -city atthls point has been entirely rebuilt. . - ;t". .Klssee and Beards. - " It Is so easy to understand what the Americans say because they talk? so loud it is inot the same loudness' as of the French, and " one day 1 have laughed to hear in a bus how girls of the Y. M. C. A. have talked. There was one who was not at all pretty, ex cept to be young, who has regarded a French'gentleman who wore his-beard long. "Look," she said, , "what a hor rible beard. Imagine to be kissed by any one like that. Then they have both laughed. The other one has said then : "I sup pose his grandfather wore his heard long, so he does the same," and the first one has replied: ?Tes, it is al ways like that. What was good enough for your grandfather in France is good enough for you." I was not angry to hear them speak so, because, you know, they were very ignorant For me, I do not think that -they have known very much the emo tion of to be kissed, or they would have understood that it is not whether or not one has a bearjd tnaf "makes the difference. -London "Bystander's Paris Letter. v. why H)Dotont Heer it.
