KS WITH WEDDING RING.
(Beer Behavior of ( irolet When Suspended
from String:.
This is the mystery of the wedding
ring. Can you soive n: .'vououv, <15 jet
V ha? been able to account for its!
strange convolutions, but maybe you
' will be more clever.
^ W!hat makes the wedding ring
swing? |
Why does it swing one way for a j
man and quite another way for a
I woman?
Is it the difference in what wise men
call "aura?" And a well known Lon
- * ?-- j ?I
Wt don doctor nas recently aemuusuauui
that the aura of the male and female
ft difPer widely.
Wedding rings often make the people
who wear them, and even other I
persons, behave in the most unac- j
countable manner, but few of us have
L iever seen a wedding ring itself inW
' dulge in mysterious performances,
P fcayg The Chicago Tribune.
And this is not a trick. Remember
I It is a scientific experiment, mus trating
laws of physics, physiology or |
psychology.
This is the way to go about it.
Take a silver fork and place it be
fore you on a polished wooden table.:
I The fork should be at right angles,
A from your body with the handle nearV
?st you.
^ Seat yourself at the table. Tie a
*)ieoe of light string sbout 15 inches in
length to a plain gold wedding ring, j
After the wedding ring lias been tied
to the extreme end of the string, wrap
the other end of the- string three times j
Around the first joint of the first fin- j
ger on the right hand.
Hold the string in place around the j
fret finger with the ball of the thumb j
camp hand Place your right;

elbow on the table- beside the fork,
with the forearm in a vertical position,
and permit your hand to drop at j
a right angle from the wrist. This j

one-quaner 01 an muu auu?^ ,
and as nearly as possible at its center.
Place your left hand, flat and palm
downward, upcn the table beside;
the fork. Do Vour best to keep your i
hand steady, and thus prevent the
k string, with its attached wedding ring
I from swinging. In spite of your ef-j
forts you will find that the wedding j
ring moves,
i* _ 4c. hni/iinp' the string the;
11 ct IIId IX XO ?c - - w
wedding ring will commence slowly to j
sway back and forth along the fork, t
If a wemail holds th>e string the ring
sways across the fork. With some
people the movement is slight, while with
others it is marked, but at all j
times it is unmistakable.
Now here's the most curious part.
If a woman is holding the string when j
aornss the fork has!
UIC v~w ^ ?
once been firmly established, let a |
man place his right hand firmly upon 1
her left hand, which rests upon the!
k table. The ring will be seen slowly
to stop its cross movement, and after
HL- a few moments the motion will be
reversed. The ring will' swing the
length of the fork.
A similar change of movement will j
occur in the event of a man holding |
the string while a woman places her!
right hand over his left hand.
Can you account for this mysterious i
i
behavior of the wedding ring?
WHITES IX THE SOUTH.
Past Census Decade Shows a Drift of
White Population Southward.
? Kew .Orleans Times-Democrat.
The last census bulletin furnishes
most interesting and instructive infor- j
I mation on a point concerning which j
wa have had nothing definite hereto-j
Hi fore?the extent of the immigration i
movement of population into the South |
from other parts of the country. While |
"we are bidding for immigration from
| all parts of the world, we naturally
prefer settlers from the North and |
"West, farmers, mechanics and labor-i
ers, of our race, language, ideas and
habits. We know that thousands ofj
them, especially of the agricultural
classes, are being crowded out of the
! I
North by the increasing density of
^ population, the lack of available land
v for farming purposes of the excessive
i . prices demanded for such land. For
the last 20 years the many Southern
immigration agents have turned their
attention mainly to the North and
West, to persuade the people who are
"being crowded out that they can fare
better in the South, with its fertile soil
and splendid climate, than in the distant
arid districts of their far West,
or the alien, blizzardy prairies of
Canada.
r4 The census heretofore has always
told a very different tale?that the interstate
movement of population was
in the other direction?to the northward,
not southward. Virginia and
Kentucky furnished a large part, if
not a majority, of the > arly population
of Ohio. They and North Carolina
helped to settle Indiana and Illinois,
and the lower halves of these States
are Southern in their origin, th?ir people,
ideas and points of view. Oregon
was originally settled almost exclusively
from Missouri. In Calfornia,
North and South met in aDout equal
proportions, with the Southern -element
dominating socially and politically.
In the first six decades of the 19th
century the South lost several millions
of her sons and daughters, who moved
North because they found slavery
unpleasant and inimical to them. There
was a steady tide of white population
northward. The negroes did not go,

IUi 1 LUOUU O UliiiVV/VUUUi J tv Jl ilVUUVil,
except those that travelled by the
underground railroad, and their number
has been grossly and absurdly exaggerated
in the prejudiced histories
of the times. For more than half a
century the South was losing a poriton
of its white population to the North,
and in this way was losing ground in
wealth, industry, population and influence.
We had hoped to see this tendency
reversed when the prejudices caused
by evil strife ended, and when the tide
of white population, veering around,
would move on the South. The last
bulletin proves that this natural condition
has finally come about.
During the past decade the white
population of the Southern States increased
from 16,521,970 to 20,547,420,
or 24.4 per cent, while their negro
population grew only from 7,922.969 to
~ ~~ * ~ ~ ? - * * ? x mi
8,74y,42 i, or iu.4 p-er cent, me supuintendent
of the census explains this
remarkable and unprecedented change
very clearly and very correctly, stating
that it is due to the fact that many
many whites moved from other parts
of the country to the South, while a
considerable number of negroes drifted
North, under the delusion that they
were ^oing to enjoy different and betonH
nnlitinal conditions
UC1 OUViUi Uiiu ? ? - _
there.
The census figures fully support this
explanation. While the whites Increased
24.4 per cent in the South, they
increased only 20.3 in the North and
West, in spite of the millions of European
immigrants settling in the latter
sections. On the other hand the negroes
grew 29.3 per cent in the North
and only 10.4 in the South. The Southern
States are evidently growing a
white man's country more rapidly than
ever before, not from foreign immigration,
but from the incoming of settlers
from other parts of the country. There
are in the south today 46,582 New
Englanders. 289,479 persons from the
Middle States' and 1,113,168 from the
West, and a total of 1,732,524 people
who are not Southerners by birth, but
who moved into this section by preference
because they think it offers
them better advantages than their old
homes.
This is a most gratifying showing,
and it is the first time we have ever
been able to make it. We may expect
this movement to make stiii iurtner
progress in the next decade, as those
who have settled in the South and
have fared well let their relatives,
friends and neighbors know of their
success.
Backbone of Winter.
Bj Walt Mason.
The winter seems eneded, the soft
vernal breezes come up from the
southland, refreshing and sweet; we
bid a farewell to the north wind that
freezes, we think we are done with
the snow and the sleet; and just
when we're sure that old winter lies
bleedin' as dead as the deadest of
petrified men, the wind swings around
to the northwest of Sweden, the backbone
of winter gets busy again; that
fussy, old backbone, that volcanic
backbone, that militant backbone gets
busy again. We tire of cold weather;
we view it with loathing, j;nd soon as
!a robin is seen on the lawn we say,
I "it ic time* for our light undercloth
I ~ - - ?
ling;" we take oft' our flannels and put
them in pawn. And then we've the
grip and the jumping pneumony, we
furnish a snap for the medical men;
they fill us with pills and with remedies
phoney; the backbone of winter
is busy again; that doagasteu DacKbone,
that jimtwisted backbone, that
dadbusted backbone is busy again.
It is not safe to bet that the winter
is over till hens go to setting and
horses shed hair, ill ees are a-buzzin'
around in the clover, and flies are so
thick that they make father swear. So
often we're fooled by the harbingers
vernal, the previous bud and the premature
wren, and wake from our
dream to conditions infernal?the
backbone of winter is busy again,
that foolish old backbone, that impudent
backbone, that heartbreaking
backbone is busy again.
