Singular Trip Of q Ring

An Englishman told story the other
day about an odd trip that his diamond
ring once took in London. He had
stepped hurriedly out of an under
ground railroad train, and his ring fell
from his finger RS his foot touched the
platform. He felt the ring slip of and
turned around quickly to zee where it
fell. but not quite quickly enough. He
concluded that it must have rolled un-
der the train, and as soon ~ the cars
had moved out of the station he began
to search along the track. The ring
was not to be found. and he reluctantly
relinquished the search, telling rail-
road employe however. what he had
lost. He finished his business sooner
than he had expected. and strolled
down to the station to see whether the
ring had been found He had only
faint hopes that it had been found. but
he hunted up the railway employe Tho
two men talked about the ring while
standing on the spot where the Eng.
lishman had stepped from the train. A
they were chatting q train came into
the station. The Englishman saw
something glistening in front OF him on
the footooard Of the train. It was the
diamond ring. 1t had fallen upon the
footboard. the train had made . com.
plete circuit of the city. and stopped in
exactly the place it had stopped when
the Englishman left it and 4he ring

Before the Papacy lost its temporal
power in 1870 it was customary for the
Pope to celebrate mass publicly At the
main altar of St. Peters at three relis-
ious festivals-viz.: on Easter Sunday,
the 29th Of June feast of St Peter and
St Paul. and Christmas. On these oc-
casions the Pope had on his breast a
golden ephod, like the one worn by the
high priest Of Israel. In the evening
OF the two days first named two great
