Cheaper Rings Are Bouebt.

A jeweler tells me that the fashion of
buying expensive diamond rings by
young men just engaged is gradually
dying out. Understand me-" he said,
"the girls still get their engagement
rings, and they are pretty, too; but they
don't average over $40 or $50 in price.
Time was when the naughty bride to be
would have turned up her dainty nose
at any ring that cost less than $500, but
now, although there is just as much ro-
nance and just the same passion for dia-
monds in her composition, the New York
girl rightly reasons that she is living in
practical age, and that a cheaper ring
and more extensively furnished fat
will give her the most satisfaction. l
know man with an income of $4,000
and the satisfaction Of being engaged to
millionaires daughter. How much do
you think her engagement ring cost him?
Just $3.50, and the bride went into ecsta-
sizes over it."-New York Star.

Credulity.

Usually, in bewitching a person, ii
was thought necessary to possess some
thing closely connected with the victim,
as lock of his hair, nail pairing or
even small quantity of his saliva.
The belief engendered by the shamans
often had very serious consequences to
innocent persons If shaman told
patient that he was afflicted by disease
which certain man or woman had
charmed into him, the consequences to
the supposed offender were often seri-
GUS enough, and such beliefs led to many
deaths.
This is particularly the case in Africa,
where the same belief occurs, and thou
sands are yearly sacrificed, because they
are supposed to have afflicted others
with disease spirits, or to be the authors
of misfortunes of one sort or another.
The power too ''hoodoo," that is, be-
witch, is believed in by very large
number of the negroes of this country
In fact, such beliefs are common to the
ignorant everywhere, be they red, white
or black.
We should not be too ready to despise
the Iadian who holds them, since faith
in charms, fortune telling and similar
nonsense survives today among civilized
people who ought to know better, and
many are they who thrive by the prac-
tice of such arts. Credulity does not die
with sorcery and barbarism, but lives
on, and will continue to live until men
grow much wiser than they have yet
grown.-H. W. Henshaw in Youths

THE BRISTOL BELL,

When George the Second in Albion's Isle
Defended the faith, twas weary while
Ere ship that sailed from Rhode Islands shore
Could return to the colonist port once more.
And the churchmen of Bristol who'd boarded
well
And sent across seas for an English bell,
Had waited full many a month and long
For the cheer of their new built steeple's song.
But ct last the good vessel at Newport lay,
And brave little sloop sailed down the bay
To carry the bell to Bristol town,
That should bless st. Michaels with wide renown.
Though the brave sloop's men numbered only two,
Their pride was enough for a galleon's crew,
And their bosoms swelled as they fondly thought
Of the fame for themselves in the bell they
brought.
The sky never looked so blue to them,
And even Despair" seemed an island gem
In the beautiful spread of the sun lit bay
For when pride is at work, it works that way.
"The deck is too lowly place." they said,
For our glorious cargo; high overhead
Let's hoist it, that there its far heard peal
May speak for the righteous joy we feel"
So up to the cross trees the bell they swung
Forgetting by mere mschance its tongue;
What matterl" cried brawny Waldron, II
Will smite it myself meath the arching skyl"
Then aloft he sped with mighty sledge
To waken the sounds from the slumbering edge
OF the church's treasure; no greater bliss
Had fallen to Wadron's lot than this
"Give ear, good helmsmanl !" he cried aloud,
AS he reached the top of the slender shroud
And praise to himself for his prowess spoke
And curved his arm for the wondrous stroke.
D-on-gi Glorious tone How its echoes ran
Around and across the horizons spanl
Did ever a sound so full and clear
Enrapture listening mortals ear?
"Againi" cried the steersman in mad delight,
Still a lustier note from the metal smtel''
And exultant his comrade called back, BE it sol
And Bristol shall hear it this time, trowi'
Oh, the ponderous blow that descended then
Twas beyond all telling Of song or pen;
For alack and alasl by i'll fortunes whim
1t cracked the church bell from top to rim!
Then woe for the pitiful homeward sail,
And the crestfallen heroes glum and pale,
With an eager crowd on the wharf, to be met
With naught but prayer to forgive and forget
How sing Of welcome turned to tears
A payment in worthless weight for years
OF the parish thrift? What words for the shame
That ashore with the crew and their cargo camel
In brief measure their tale they told,
But they'd learned lesson that's never grown
old:
When pride, on land, sea, river or bay,
Is at work, it can work in a wretched way.

ion.

closed my eyes and tried to remember
what had happened.
Presently heard voices.
"Poor little dear" Maria was saying.
''Pm so glad the fever has gone. Master
has been so worried. This morning he
went to the village for the first time
since Miss Jane was brought home with
the fever"
"Oh, yes," replied another voice, a
voice 1 had heard in my dream, and in
deed it was the voice of the hunters
daughter. ''She's all right now, I
reckon"
''Tel me-" said Maria. ''Tell me
again, just how it came on"
"Well, you see," answered the girl, 81
had put her in bed safely, and then I
went down and got pops tea. 1t was
stormin' dreadful. After while I
fetched out the pillows and blanket that
was agoin' to make my bed of on the
floor, and took 'em up stairs, and stood
them in the passageway, and then
went down again to finish bit of mend
ing, while pop read the paper. All on g
sudden we heard dreadful scream, and
when we ran up the stairs we found the
poor little gal laying in the passageway
moanin' and tearin' in the fever. Then,
next morning, pop came over and told
you, and the little thing was fetched
home"
"And very good and kind you have
been, my dear, and we are very CRATE
full" said Maria.
Then it all came back to me, my
dream, my waking and stealing out to
the head of the stairway, and my vision
of the terrible old woman in the blanket
standing in the corner.
I astonished them and frightened them
both very much by suddenly sitting bolt
upright in bed.
"What did you say?" eagerly asked
the girl. "What did you say about put
ting the bedclothes up in the passage

''Bless the child!" cried Maria. "She'a
in the fever yet, and doesn't know what
she's a-talking about"
eyes, 1 do" declared. 81 saw some
thing in the corner, something white,
with a blanket over it, and-and
thought it was the old woman"
Then the girl told me how she had
put white case on the bolster she had
got out for her bed, and how she had
taken couple of blankets and come up
stairs with them. But seeing that l had
fallen into light sleep and hearing me
moan, she had been afraid of waking
me then, and SO had placed the things in
the corner, intending to come up by
and by.
After while, when the girl had gone,
I called:
'Mariar'
eyes, my deary," she answered, COM
ing quickly to my side.
''Maria," asked, solemnly, sis there
any old woman in blanket"
"No, no, my deary," cried Maria, very
sorry for her thoughtlessness. 81 only
said it to make you mind, and it was
very wicked of me-"
Robbie had fallen asleep, but tbs rest
of us were listening eagerly to Aurg
