The Wedding Ring Omitted. Now a word regarding that ail -im- portant little article — the wedding ring. As is common knowledge, it some- times happensthat this little article Is forgotten, and there have. been •cases• where the door -key of the . church has had to d.o,duty; but it is -not often that that portion of the marriage service, "With this ring I thee weed," etc., is omitted. = Yet there is an instance of this on record. It- occurred at Liver- pool'. After the party had left the church it was discovered that the clergyman had forgotten these words, and, of course, in their absence, the bride-. groom would be relieved of his most serious obligations, to say nothing of the fair woman being mitis the ring itself. In this case, therefore, instead of sitting down to the breakfast, back the couple hurried to the church, and were thus practically married twice on: the sante day. A very uncommon kind of marriage was once• celebrated in Cumberland. Both parties were deaf and dumb. They held Prayer Books while a friend ' pointed out the .different passages in the service as ` the clergyman spoke them, and they made the customary re- sponses in the deaf and dumb alpha- bet. Finally, let us just give a few de- tails of ,what occurs at a marriage: ceremony in the Philippine Islands. When two Negritos marry, the whole • tribe is assembled, and the affianced pair climb two trees growing close to each other. The branches of the trees are then bent by the elders till the heads of the couple 'meet, and when the bride's and bridegroom's heads have thus met, the marriage is de- clared legal, • Poultry -Farming of Long Ago.'
