Rings In the Ages.

The first historical mention of rings fs ip
the book of Genesis, and then ring was
not mark of serfdom, nor a mere orna-
ment, but badge of authority. We
read how when Pharaoh confded the
charge of all Egypt to Joseph he took
his ring from his finger and gave 1t to
the youth as token of the authority he
bestowed upon him.
From prehistoric times signet rings
of silver, gold and bronze were part of
the apparel of the wealthier Egyptian,
and even the lower orders wore rings of
ivory and blue porcelain. Rings are not
mentioned in Homer, and do not appear
to have been introduced into Greece un-
til later age, says the Illustrated Amer
ican. Herodotus tells us all the Baby.
lonians used to wear rings, and the fash
ion soon spread from the East into Eu-
rope. In the time of Solon every free
man in Greece wore signet ring, either
of gold, silver or bronze. To prevent
counterfeits,a law was passed forbidding
any seal engraver to keep the impression
of any seal ring that he had cut for o
customer.
Rings soon became fashionable, how.
ever, as ornaments, precious stones were
engraved in them, and dandies wore two
or three at the same time. Their use
gradually extended to women, who wore
them of amber and ivory. The Spartan
rings were of iron, as consorted with the
stern simplicity they affected.
The use of talismanic rings appears to
have been general among the ancients,a ,as
charms against disease, personal danger,
witchcraft, etc. Medicated rings were
also believed to cure divers complaints
and to eounteract the effects of poisons,
etc.
Passaic City record., 1891-09-19
Domestic Life Of the Samoans.

The domestic life of Samoan is of
the very simplest type. Nature provides
everything required to sustain life, and
the clothing worn is of the scantiest pos
sible description. The women do the
simple cooking required in the prepara-
ton of taro and bread fruit for eating,
braid mats, fans, lava-lavas (the only
clothing worn by the women), make the
necessary kava, while the man cares for
the children as far as is necessary, and
twice day sees that the family is assem-
bled beneath the hut roof for prayers and
hymn singing.
This is true, however, more of Pango-
Pango than of Apia. the white mans in
fiuence at the latter place being some
what against the practice of the simple
domestic virtues. By the time the sun
is well above the horizon the leading
man or chief of a hamlet, standing at the
entrance of his hut, sings in loud voice
the opening lines of hymn, and soon
from all directions come answering
voices, scattered through the forest, until
the whole village is awake ana the air IS
vocal with the rich, heavy voices OF the
men miugling with the higher but sweet
notes of the women and children.
The Samoan voice is soft and flexible,
and lends itself easily to the simple music
taught by the missionaries, and an expc-
rieuce of the sort attempted to be de-
scribed can never be forgotten. At
night, after the sun has left the quick
dusk so peculiar to the tropics, similar
worship is carried out, but the morning
devotion is the most touching and pict-
uresuue. In some households the ubi-
quitous kerosene lamp illuminates the
family at night, but with great many
the old fashioned method is still pursued
of having shallow hole in the floor at
one corner of the hut, where the dried
shells of cocoanuts make bright blaze
of considerable duration, without smoke
or smell.
On occasions of ceremony or going
into battle, the Samoan warrior paints his
face and body, from the waist up, in the
most fantastic manner, in some respects
not unlike our Indians, and with beads
made of nuts and necklaces of shells aud
fish teeth gives one the same impression
as the fetichman of Africa.
OF musical instruments the native Sa-
moan is scantily provided, the only thing
worthy of the name being the huge hol-
lowed log, which, on being beaten with
big mallet or beetle, gives forth clear,
resounding note, which can be heard a
long distance.
At the intersection of several of the
roads leading into Apia one of these
drums was located during our stay, and
at o'clock each night two of the lead
ing men would belabor it for few min
utes as signal for all natives to retire
for the night from the public highway
on pain of arrest and confinement for the
night in the native calaboose. - WASH

Habits Of Wild Ducks.

At the period of incubation ducks
make their nests whenever the desire to
deposit the first egg comes upon them.
If they have neglected to provide suit
able retreat, it is too late to mend mat
ters. Since then have passed and res
passed the spot, and have seen the eggs
handled frequently, but for all that
Madame Duck does not desert her rocky
home. Jock suggests that l go to his
camp, three miles distant, for dinner.
On the way we cross an immense marshy
fiat, and in the middle of this is beau
tiful spring, some eight yards in diame'
ter. The water is fairly blue, icy cold,
and no bottom can be seen at the centre,
but about the edge, where the water is
from one to ten feet deep, are massive
rocks that are Enthusiastically draped with
aquatic moses and alg@ so that 1T seems
like looking down into fairyland. The
waters of this spring run for quarter OF
a mile and then sink to reappear a mile
away, bursting into the creek from crew
ices in the volcanic rock. The swamp
is great breeding place for teal, and
three or four ducks with their young
broods are swimming in the miniature
lake. As we burst upon the scene one
duck flies off, but the rest stay to conceal
their young. How do they doita Bring
them in to shallow water, where they can
rest upon the bottom and stick their
bills up through the moss. Then the
old ones swim out into deep water and
resort to the same tactics. We drive
the ducklings from their place of con-
cealment and they swim out to their pa
rents with half of their bodies exposed.
Though the moss is just as inviting they
will not hide where they cannot feel
bottom and their mothers bring them
back to shore. Young ducks can dive,
but have not the power of remaining be-
meath the water for any length of time
until they can make a strong fight. The
power of remaining beneath the water is
acquired by practice and is not innate
