An Odd Ring.

Probably one of the most curious
rings in New York, writes a CORES
pondent OF the Boston Herald, is
worn by the wife of q wealthy and
~well-known lawyer. She has three
handsome, manly sons, but only one
daughter, who made her debut into
society this season and was much adj
mired. This girl is the idol Of her
parents. and the ring by her
mother is testimony to their affec-
ton. though q very eccentric one.
When the girl was 10 years of age
the father presented to the mother
at Christmas q ring in which were
set two little semi-translucent white
stones surrounded by diamonds. and
for a long while resisted his wife's
e~ntreaties TO tell what sort Of stone;
they were. she never having seer
anything at all resembling them
Finally he confessed to her q little
shame-facedly that when their little
daughter had lost her pretty little
milk teeth he had saved the from
ones and carried them about in hi
pocketbook for q long time until the
idea occurred to him Of utilizing
them in this way. The wife laughed
at him a good deal, but continued t,
wear the ring and still wear il
though very few persons know th,
story Of its setting.

The Deapast shaft.

One of the deepest mines in the
world is at 81. Andre du Poirier,
France. and yearly produces $780,
900 tons Of coal. The mine il
worked with two shafts. one 1852 feet
deep and the other 1888. The lat
ter shaft is now being deepened and
will soon touch the 4.000-foot level,
A remarkable feature in this deep
mine is the comparative low temper
ature experienced. which seldom
rises above rs degrees Fahrenheit
On the $500 level Of the Combina-
tion shaft on the Comstock the tenn
perature in the face Of drifts was
nearly $50 degrees.

of the town which bears bis name.
He comes 10 Chicago direct from the
Wild West. and in the rotunds Of the
Grand Pacific last evening he told an
experiences of q rich Young English
man out among the cowboys.
A few weeks ago" related Ml.
Lusk." "a young En~glishman came
ont 70 u country in quest OF some
GOOD investment. He was at one OF
NV ranches for q few days. one
afternoon. as the cowboys were
about 10 round up q bunch OF COW
ponies, the Young man said tnas ne
r~ouldjenjoy q good ride inithe saddle.
He aid he was used to riding only
tboroughbreds, and he didn't think
we had q horse good enough for him
The BOYS convinced him that they
had o OF the finest horses on the
plains, and If he knew how to ride
he was welcome to the animal. he
was apparently insulted when
ouestioned about his ability to ride,
and answered that he could ride any
kind of Q horse. A sleepy-looking
bronco was brought out OF the corral
and saddled. Though he appeared
half dead, he was the worst bucker
in the herd.
"sE's lifeless,' said the foreigner
when the pony was brought to him
The boys said the nag would wake
up after the first mile, and Milford
got into the saddle. he didn't
linger long. The first buck-jump
placed him on the horses neck, and
after the second he was in the at
mosphere. He turned q double
somerset and landed on the sharp
end Of q cactus plant. When be
picked himself up one OF the boys
asked him what he thought OF the

made the E%nglishmau turn pale.
