The brldnl veil Is evidently of enst ein origin, being n relic of the bridal canopy held over the heads of the brldo and bridegroom. Among the Anglo-Saxons a similar custom cxlHtcd, but If the bride was a widow It was dispensed with. According to Sanun usage, a lino linen cloth was laid upon the heads of the brldo and bridegroom and was not removed until the bene diction find been said. Tho old British custom wan to use nature's veil un adorned that la, tho long hair of the bride, which was ho worn by all brides, royal, noble and simple.

Trees and tho Soil. Tho soil Is a resource of priceless value. Its formation on rocks Is ex ceedingly slow. According to Profes sor J. Bowman, many glacial scratches that were made on rock during the hist glacial period, between 00,000 and 7.V 000 years ago, are still as fresh as If they had been made only yesterday. Yet since tho glaciers thus recorded themselves man has come up from the envo and the Htonn hammer. Seventy thousand years is a very short time for tho development of u soil cover. For man It means a period so great that the mind can hardly grasp It. The cutting off of the trees exposes tho soil so that the ruin lien Us upon It. and since It lias lost the protection that the roots nnd the litter on the ground afforded the soil Is soon washed away. In fifty years a single lumber mer chant can deprive the race of soil that required 10.000 years to form-. Youth's Companion.
