Cheaper Rings Arc Bought.

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 gro or $so in price. Time was when the naughty bride to be would have turned up her dainty nose at any ring that cost less than $2o0, but now, although there is just as much TO- 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 8 cheaper ring and more expensively furnished flat will give her the most satisfaction. l know man with an income of $i0,000 and the satisfaction ofsbeing engaged to millionaire's daughter. How much do you think her engagement ring cost him! Just $150, and the bride went into ecst,. sies over it."--New York Star. ..M <.

It Is Not Very Difficult if You Turn Thera
 Over often Enough with Profit.
 Look at this stone," said a young journeyman ieweler in street car the other day, removing tissue paper wrap ping from a piece of white wax, in the ce,lter of which beautiful diamond blazed. "That is worth at the least $iS0."
 "How is it that you can afford to buy such q valuable stone as that2" asked one of his friends who knew his circum- stances"
 Il will put you on to the snap," said the jeweler. That stone has been grow ing for & year, and l think it has got its growth"
 What do you mean by diaraond growingT' asked the friend.
 "I will tell you. You reme,nbei. the little spark had in my scarfpin Christ mas We'll, this is what it has grown to in less than year. That little stone cost me dollar and the pin cost me s2.so. Isold the pin for $s, and bought an eight carat stone little off shade for trifle over$5. bought stud setting. You know you can get those things quite low now. They are made up by the thousands by firms which do not take finished goods. We'll, put the stone in the setting on spiral and sold 1t the same week for SIS. Then went to tho office and bought tho best stone could get for $f5 and mounted that in the same manner. wore it a month and then sold 1t for $30, and I put $25 into another stone. It was D little beauty, aud traded it for another one of about the same size, and got $5 to boot. That put the stone down to go, and I put it into setting which cost mo 8, and sold it few days later for $35. Igot another stone for $50. and had it two months be- fore made turn with it; then Icleared $12 and put the money into beautiful stone, which brought me up to s6o when I sold it in handsome stud setting.
 "Then I got chance to sell a ring for s75, and made it to order, putting in a stone which cost me S4e.5o Irnt the whole STU into another stone, which l carried around for while, and had fully made up my mind to keep, but Q butcher offered me $100 for it and sold it to him. It was in crown s,tting, which cost me S8.25. For the hundred I got a dandy stone, and was sure could keep that one, but have had four better ones since, and have got up to $1s0. can't go much higher than that, I guess, for there arc few men among my acquaintances who can afford to- tempt me with a profitable offer for it wouldn't sell it tonight for 800, be- cause l know that I have got @ bargain. I'm pretty good judge of diamonds, and when put that stone into nice rihg will make it look like $250 worth, and I don't think that anybody can per suade me to sell it for anything lass. In ali the changes don't think that Lave put in more than Si6 or SIS of my pocket money. The rest has all been profit on the stones and settings. "--New York Sun

In Mortal Peril.

Dr. c. 0. Abbott, in ''outings at Odd Times" tells tragic tale of an advent ure which once befell an old lady. ''long, long ago." The spot where ste lived YVES almost q wilderness, and was beset with the perils of new and scantily set tied land.
 The now almost forgotten Camden and Amboy railroad vas in operation, but though scarcely a milo distant, it was as nothing to her. She knew nei- ther what nor where it was. But where the best whortleberries grew, in the back swamp, that was knowledge worth her possessing. -.
 Although her cousin Abijah had killed bear there during the winter, she did not stop to think of that, but one day started for berries where few men would care to follow. With Q light heart she gathered and gather,d, until at length m ominous shrieking fell upon her ears. ..a
 Gould it be another beary' thought she, and turned her face homew;Grd. Her Mg basket was not quite full, and there were such loads of fruit within easy reach! This was tantalizing, but all her doubt vanished with the second shriller, more unearthly scream.
 The path was no longer plain, nor was she surefooted. As sho pitched reck- lessly forward the berries were bounced by handfuls from her basket, ard finally in despair she threw aside tk,e basket itself.
 And still sounded through the swamp the terrible screeching of that angry bear. At last she could see her cottage through the thickly set trees, but not so plainly the tortuous path. One misstep and she sank waist deep in the yielding mud of an old well, and there she stood screaming until her husband came to the rescue.
 Do be still, Hannah" was his first re- mark, after she had chokingly called his attention to the still audible cries of the bear, that's only the new tangled steam ingine whistlin'i" $ F
 "And to think" the old lady was wont to remark, on concluding this story, "to think I lost all them beautiful berriessn .1

Cred duIity.

m
 Usually, in bewitching q person, it was thought necessary to possess some thing closely connected with the victim, as e 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 a patient that he was afflicted by disease which a certain man or woman had charmed into him, the consequences to the supposed offender were often seri- ous 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 nisfortunes 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 Indian 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 barbarian, but lives m anG will contiuue in live rIntil ,ne,, grow much wiser than they have yet grown.--H ". Henshaw in Youths Companion.
