Marriage Solemnity
The two stages through which mar
.-iage lias developed are: Marriage by
force and marriage by contract. In
the latter stage of development there
was a solemn surrender of the bride
by her guardian in the Anglo-Saxon
marriage service. This ceremony is
the prauung, and the custom of “giv
ing away the bride” is traced to this
solemn surrender.

THE DOLLAR KEEPS A-COMING
By Lewis L. Clarke, President American Exchange National Bank,
quoted in “Pacific Banker.”
A dollar, unlike a man, can, if it chooses, remain indefinitely
idle, but its natural habits are against its doing so.
When business is slack and dollars in consequence lose their
jobs, they look around to see whether or not they can find employ
ment in the same community in which they have been working. If
that is not possible, then they go afield to look for satisfactory
occupation.
When there are a lot of idle dollars, such as is the ease at
present, they are forced into a position where they bid against each
other for work.
It is natural that when industry and agriculture do not offer
employment, the dollar should look for a prime security as a pos
sible avenue of employment.
The dollar very properly has two things in mind, to-wit, per
cent, per diem earning capacity and the privilege of terminating
its contract of employment at any minute. In other words, it seeks
to keep itself privileged to advance or retreat via the liquidity
of the security whose temporary employment it has entered.
Men often speak of the shift in labor, meaning transmigra
tion from one job to another. Physical labor is never so shifty as
is the little dollar, which, generally speaking, has no sentiment in
regard to any job that it holds. It is quite ready to transfer its
allegiance at any moment and without notice. Wherever there is
any indication of higher wages or earning power, there the dollar
will troop ostentatiously &'';<! proffer its services.
At present the dollar is not the least bit proud of its earning
capacity, but just as soon as business begins to pick up and a de
mand for the dollar becomes acute, instead of offering its service
at a reduced per diem wage, as at present, it will strut before vou
and figuratively say “WHAT AM I BID?”

Wall Street buys and sells 2,000,000
shares a day now, and nobody no
tices it. We quickly get used to
prosperity. Brokers would consider
a “million share day” an insult. But
sail money with which lambs gamble
went to five and a half per cent,
yesterday. A few days ago it was
two and a half. Wall Street does
notice that it’s rather sad to pay for
gambling money as high an interest
rate as merchants and manufacturers
have to pay for legitimate business
loans.
The real stock gambling will begin
after the new year, ’i hen look out

On New Year's eve the old liberty

The old lady was taking her morning
walk, strolling leisurely across tha
fields in which some cows were grac
ing. She was not a bit frightened of
cows; in fact, she thought them the
aweetest creatures tn the world. But
on this particular morning there : ap
pened to be a bull feeding there as
well, and he did not like the old lady's
red bonnet.
Suddenly she became aware that the
bull,'with lowered head, was charging
straight at her. Sho Just managed to
reach the gate in time. Then she turn
ed round with Indignation on every
line of her face and exclaimed:
"You ungrateful creature! Hero I’ve

Scientists by modern methods,
prove that the earth’s solid crust is
at least sixteen hundred million
years old. That adds considerably
to the old idea of a world created
6.000 years ago. Feeble human
imagination cannot grasp such a
period as 1,600,000,000 years. Only
12.000 years ago, we were in the
Stone age. But the earth’s great age
encourages us to believe that this
planet and human beings on it will
exist for several hundred millions of
years more, at least, as science pre
dicts. A great deal can be done in
that time. Even 1,000,000 years should
show considerable improvement, when
you consider what men have accom
plished in 12,000 years.
It appears that four gentlemen
have been representing the Philip

States, with an expense account. It
also appears that, by a gentleman's

exactly $900 every month for cloth

pinos are hard on their clothes, but
also, that they have not mixed with
American politicians for nothing, and
are now about ready to govern them
selves.

Kindness Rewarded.
From Answers, London.
One day a small boy was vainly try
ing to reach the front-door bell of a
certain house. He mnde several deter
mined efforts, and after a quarter of an
hour of unsuccessful attempts he was
nearly in tears. At that moment a
kind-hearted old gentleman came by.
Taking pity on the lad. he was moved
to kindness, and, going up to him said:
"Let me ring it for you. Tommy."
Whereupon ho pulled the bell violent
ly, so that it awoke the echoes inside
the house.
"And now. what do we do?” asked
the kind one, with a smile at the hoy.
“Run like the dickens,” answered the
lad as U suited the action to the word.

The Penalty of Genius.
From the New York Sun.
Physiologists who teach that gen
ius Is the result of chemical abnor
malities of the endocrine glands of
the human body are consoling to
those Individuals who have passed
through life without achieving great
ness. In accordance with the most
modern teaching, genius has its pen
alties. So oppressive are they that
the average man if he knew the
price he would have to pay for emin
ence In this life would select the
comfort and security of the humbler
path.
In a comparison between the life
of Napoleon and that of the average
citizen an author, who rests his con
clusions on a study of the endocrine
glands says the great French general
had a pulse so sluggish it rarely
moved more rapidly than 50 beats to
a minute, while the only reaction to
this slowness of circulation was sup
plied by occasional epileptic fits to
which he was subject. Abdominal
pain made it impossible for him to
sleep more than a few hours.
Such a picture Would reconcile al
most anybody to obscurity. Other
famous men seem to have suffered
almost nearly as much, if the con
clusions of the new school of
physiologists are to be trusted. Ab
normality of his glands filled the
later days of Charles Darwin with
suffering. He slept little, suffered
almost continuously from fatigue
and the more active misery of heard
trouble, which superinduced chronic
Insomnia.
In war, statesmanship and letters
the great have been compelled to pay
for their renown. Other famous men
have suffered just as much as the
two most eminent examples of what
the scientists of this particular
school say the glands may cause.
The sufferings of Dostoievsky were
familiar to the world long befori
gland therapy occupied the attention
of physicians to the degree It does
today. Lord Byron, whose extrava
gancies of conduct seem more and
more incomprehensible to a soberer
generation; Julius Caesar. Moham
med and Flaubert are other great
geniuses whom the gland therapy
does not hesitate to call epileptics.
Their renown brought on conse
quences which few men would have
been willing to undergo in life even
If there was the certainty of their
