WHERE TO WEAR THE RING.
A Jewellers Answer TO Questions Frequently
Asked by Customers.

Asked by Customers.
Chicago Tribune.l
II had supposed" said the jeweler, !"by
this time with the daily press to enlighten
them, that every body knew which is the
proper finger on which to wear the engage
ment ring, or the finger on which to place
the ring at the time of the wedding, or the
finger on which to wear the ring after the
marriage. But we are asked this question
every day. Sometimes the query is made
in person and sometimes it comes by mail.
There was time when the engagement ring
was worn on the first finger of the lett hand
and on the third finger of the same hand
after marriage. by women. But now one
finger is the custom.
''It is proper for either the man or the
woman to wear the engagement ring on the
third finger of the lett hand. When the
man weds according to the Episcopal cere-
mony he places the ring on the third finger
of the left hand OF the bride and she wears
it there after her marriage. If the groom
wears ring it is on the third finger of his
left hand. don't know that there is any,
thing in the books to this effect, but it is
the CUSTOM"

ACTRESSES AT OCEAN GROVE.
There are a score OF actresses at Ocean
Grove, to name whom would be to raise a
suspicion OF an advertising purpose, and
from the sanctities of the great August
campmeeting just closed they will 60
straightway to their engagements in farce,
burlesque. comic opera, and what not. The
cheapness of existence here, as compared
with the expenses of nigh Long Branch, is
enough to account for their presence; but 1
think that Sophie WorrelPs explanation,
that show folks sometimes desire su rcease
from the frivolities and unrealities of the
stage, expresses a more general reason.
This theory adjusts itself to the fact that
the actresses at Ocean Grove behave with
perfect propriety. They seek to avoid
any revelation of their employment,
and not because they are ashamed of
it, necessarily, but because they consider
ately do not seek to shock the sensibilities
OF the Methodists around them. A jolly

his knapsack, which hung loosely on MS
back, he had nothing but hammer,,a horse
shoe and few nails. That was all the cap
ital he boasted of.

said. 81 am young, strong, willing and
hopeful. 1 have no doubt that success will
come to me. sooner or later. In the mean
time 1 am not going to worry myself to
death about the future. !"
The next day Philip felt hungry, and as
he passed a farm house he went in and asked
the farmer whether he had any horses that
wanted shoeing.
"Yes. have" replied the granger. So
Philip got job, and when he had liked the
shoes of all the horses on the farm be got
some money and a very good meal for ms
work. Then he went away again. In the
evening he entered deep forest, and here
he threw his knapsack under tree lor
pillow, laid his head down on 1t ana In
few seconds he was asleep.
On the following morning Phillp con-
timed his iourney. The road led him
deener and deeper into the wood, and still
he saw no end to it. But he followed the
road straight ahead. Everything has an
end % he said, and ''it is a short lane that
does NOT lead out of the wood."
Suddenly he was startled by loud shrek.
He stopped and listened.
"Hello. stranger, come here and help us!"
he heard distinctly sounding through the
forest. He looked around, but saw no one.
Then again he heard the same words. Now
he thought he had caught the direction of
the sound. and following it he came at last
upon a very curious sight. In the middle
OF deep hollow, between two enormous big
oak trees, ne noticed three dwarfs tied to-
gether with bigrope. As he looked closer
he observed that each of them had only one
leg.
''What is the matter with you?" asked
Philip, who was no more AFRAID OF three
one.legged dwarfs than he would have been
of three tTo-legged giants.
''What is the matter 2" they retorted.
Can't you see that we cannot move? Come
and cut this ropeF
Philip Immediately jumped into the hol-
low, took his knife from his pocket, and
liberated the dwarfs. "Now you are all
right, guess" he said, after he had I'm
ished,
"Oh, no; not yet Can't you see that we
cannot walk on one leg? Over there in the
oak tree you will find our crutches; please
60 and get themr' Philip also complied
with this request of the little men, and
when he handed them their crutches, they
seemed to be the happiest dwarts alive.
"You have been very kind to us, the
three said, "and we will now give you your

A VERY KNOWING HORSE.

Der of His Car.

He Tells the Time of Day and Also the Mum.
Der of His Car.
Street Car Driver in Globe-Democrat.l
Horses are just like men-some have sense
and some have none. There is one hill
horse on our line that knows as well as 1 do
when his work is done and with what car
he is to 60 to the stable. The car leaves the
terminus at midnight and passes the cor
ner where he is hitched ten minutes later.
I don't know whether he knows the num-
Der of the car, or the team, or the driver,
but he knows the time, and one night when
they tried to keep him to help up another
car, a few minutes later, he kicked and
squealed and bit. and refused to pull, SO
that they had to let him go. The other hill
horse that works with him doesn't know
thing, and will pull cars up all night with
out having sense enough to object.
