The Proper Thing in Wedding Rings.


In answer to a query, I write that the fav-
orite engagement ring has a sapphire and dia-
mOnd, the two gems representing faith and
constancy, as it Is supposed. A sapphire.
beautiful as it may be in idea, is in reality
very unbecoming stone. IF of the regul alton
depth of color, il does not light mp well. and
diamond or diamonds are positively required
to illuminate its dark surface, but the blue
determines its choice as the gift of virgin love-
A ruby is too costly, save for the rich. and the
stones that resemble it in hue are disiked in
this association, though they will be welcome
gifts later on. No one thinks of buying an
emerald or an opal for the engagement
ring and pearls are so easily injured they
are rarely on ''the list" but diamonds
always and ever within such addenda
"a the taste and pocket permit,
suffice for the princess or the com
mOner. A diamond ring admits of great
variation of design and style, as any commons
seur will admit, when the tempting array in
a great jeweiry esta blishment is under con-
alteration. Beautiful rings on beautiful
hands are one of those combinations which
The new bracelet so much worn now is called
udscha and is of Egyptian origin. it was
worn more than 800 years ago as a tallsman
by both men and women in Egypt. The
udscha itself is a large coin covered with
hlerOglyphics in enamel or jeweled, and this
is attached to a narrow metal and which
must never be removed from the wearer's
arm. Hence it was customary to wear il in
youth or as long as the size of the arm would
permit. above the elbow, as near the armpit
as possible. AS the wearer grew, increased
in muscle or fat, the udscha was slipped lower
and lower until It descended to the wrist.

Hon. Roswell p. Flower, Electric Sub.
way Commissioner of New York, pro-
poses to bring the question of burving the
wires in that city to an issue without any
unnecessary delay. An 0pparenuy salts
factory plan has been adopted, and no
doubt the preliminaries will soon be
arranged. 1t is expected that Jay Gould
will resist the order of the commission
and that lively contest will be the re-
suit. Mr.. Flower seems to be in earnest
about enforcing compliance with the law.
and from his well known character it is
expected that he will make the fight
short, sharp and decisive, and add con-
siderably to his already great reputation
as practical business man.

The Philadelphia Republican papers
that few weeks ago were gratitied to
believe that prohibition was the rock on
which the solid South was about to split
have changed their views on the subject
since that issue threatens their party in
their own State with defeat. They now
quote with great earnestness from the
Southern papers and speakers who have
explained how prohibition works such a
great revolution in various parts of the
South without being allowed to become
mixed with party politics. Things are
different in Pennsylvania from what they
are here. Prohibition can accomplish the
most good to the greatest number
there as political issue, for if it doesn't
succeed in prohibiting, it may result in
the defeat of the party of corruption and
oppression.

The icOnoclasts are still at their work.
writer in a well-knUwn magazine has
essayed to dispute the popular tradition
that Martha Washington was an old lady
OF marvellous grace and beauty. He says
'she was plainly dressed, robust old
woman, who looked older than her hus-
band. She as not noted for her social
nor her intellectual qualities. She could
not spell, and probably did not read a
book from one end of the year to the other.
She was sort of goody-goody woman,
who almost always had knitting needles
in her hands, and who thought she did
great thing when she saved the Rawlings
of lot of old black silk stockings and
wOrn-out chair covers and wove them into
dress for herself" But enough of this
calumny. When it was asserted recently
that Washington was coarse, and proud,
and that he didn't know much about
grammar, the country only smiled in con-
tempt, but now that Martha Washington
is charged with having been ignorant and
commonplace, gallant patriots should rise
in their strength and crush the traducer.

The example of Mrs. O'Leary's COW,
which caused the destruction OF Chicago
some fifteen years ago, has been emulated
over the big water. 1t is announced by
cable that the famous castle of Poinisch-
Wartenburg, at Wartenburg, Prussian
Silesia, the residence of Prince Gustave OF
Bron Won Courlande, was destroyed by
fire on Sunday night. Prince Gustave and
his wife, Princess Adele, were in bed
when the fire broke out, and narrowly es-
capped with their lives. The castle con-
tanned many famous paintings and val
liable works of art, all Of which were de-
strOyed. The fire was caused by the at
tack OF a pet dog belonging to the Prin-
cess upon a man servant who was carry
ing lighted paraffine lamp. The dog bit
the man, the man dropped the lamp, the
lamp exploded and the castle burned.

Senator SAWYER as q Story Teller.

Washington Special: He is br imful OF
quaint anecdotes. One OF the best stories
he tells is at the expense OF Senator Ransom,
whom he declares is the most accomplished
politician he ever knew. II went down to
North Carol ina, he says, with a congress
sional funeral party several years ago, and
Ransom was along. Whenever the train
stopped at n station Ransom got out,
shook hands with every man on the plat
form and told each one that he had left
important business in Washington to at
tend that funeral, with the hope OF seeing
him even for d moment; and what sur
prised me most was that every mother s
son OF them believed it, Ransom has such a
winning way about him. When we landed at
the town where the funeral was 20 be held
we had to drive six miles in open car
riages against q chilly wind without any
dinner, and then sit In q cold church to
listen to q sermon two hours long. Ran
som was as hungry as a wolf, and chilled
through, as we all were, and after the
preacher had been going it about three
quarters OF an hour he commenced to snap
his watch, but it did not do any good. The
preacher kept right ON with his discussion,
and when it was concluded we were all so
faint with hunger and cold that we could
scarcely stand. But Ransom revived to
the occasion, and as soon as the benedic-
ton was pronounced rushed up to the pull
pit, grabbed both OF the preachers hands
and told him that he was never SO much
int crested and edited by sermon in his
life, and his only regret was that he didn't
preach longer. And when Ransom saw
that he had swallowed that he actually
asked him to repeat the sermon the next
time he (Ransom) came to town. l am a
good deal on the palaver myself, but Ran
som beats any man ever saw.
