But somehow as I look at “dad," 1 cannot restrain from asking: “Why should father he the goat?” It wasn’t so in the days when I was. dreaming of a wonderful career In letters/ Everybody worked on .'Christmas presents, then and father was not called upon to settle the Christmas bills for all the family.' 1 made a “corrier-copia” (We don't spell it now the. way we pronounced it then) for .mother.

Why should (ho wedding ring he* ,i 1placed on (he third finger of the left ' ' hand? The cu.flom h;w existed for 5 ages and the reason therefor haa '■been given.aa follows: . } ii Our ancestors found the loft hand ! more convenient for such ornaments than the rigid, for the reason that it is generally Itss employed than the latter. Itor the game reason they chose the third instead of another finger. The third digit "is not ouly less used than the others,, but is bet- ^ ter adapted to guard a ring against ^ bruises, since that finger has thia | . quality peculiar to itself—it cannot p bo extended but in company with |f some other finger, whereas the rest } ? may ho singly stretched to their full r- j length.—llnrper’a Weekly. . . &ost For %^ZJ;S tho Dowels j . -JEWELER AND OPTICIAN 1 CANGVesriiAiroa .I'e.tci-.Ktifp*' :t coo. v > :tii.
