More Rings worn.

The use of jewelry by women, par
ticularly rings. is more common than
II has been for great many years.
You can hardly see woman to-day in
the streets or on the cars whose fingers
are unadorned. Aud the wearing Of
several rings on the one finger is no
uncommon practice. The gift of u
ring Is more popular now than 1t has
been for long time. In the older
times. aud even up to few years ago.
q young man presented ring TO u
young lady only when in the vernac-
ular he had "intentions.' But the
gift of ring signifies little or moth
ing nowadays. Even the diamond.
that was once con Adered the invariable
indication OF engagement. is worn by
young women who have no idea OF
giving up single blessedness. The
friendship ring Is the name OF ring
that is very common. and 1t is worn by
nearly every body. 1t Is usually made
up Of an emerald. an opal. pearl. an
amethyst. moonstone. a garnet or
some such pretty thing. and thousands
Of them are worn by young girls aud
boys particularly. but "a great many are
used by the cider folks As well. The
friendship ring is permissible present
at almost any stage Of acquaintance.
and the young men are seen with them
quite rs frequently as the ladies. But
among the women the use of jcwelry
is hcpomenally common just now. -

A Bone Eater.

There was an account recently given
here, says the n. Y. San, OF a man
who crunches the shells of the boiled
eggs that he takes at breakfast. There
IS another man in town who eats
bones, and who is known among his
friends as the great American bone
eater" He is scientist, and when a
question was put to him he said: Il

.astic reason. i believe that the or

HeRRMANN'S NEAT TRICK.
The Manner In which Hs Repaired the
CEar's Mirror.

People have repeatedly asked me
which of my tricks has pleased me the
most. aud which take the most de-
light in performing. Naturally the
effort that brings the greatest success
Is regarded by man as his best. /
consider the trick Of restoring the
shattered mirror rs my most famous
one. This l had the honor of per.
forming before the Car of Russia up
on an Invitation TO give an exhibition
ut his court. It was done unexpected
ly to the spectators, and was not down
on the regular bill. While playing
billiards with the attaches OF the court
after the performance. the Gar being
present In the saloon. shot ball with
all my strength against n plate glass
mirror extending from floor to ceiling.
1t was shivered into fifty pieces. Con-
sternation was depicted on every
countenance; on none more plainly
than my own. While the Gar court.
eously waived my apology. considering
the destruction OF tho mirror as trihing,
and ordered the game to proceed. 1
could easily see that M supposed awk-
wardness made disagreeable inn
preston.
With the Cars permission ex-
amined the mirror to estimate the
damage done aud tho possibility OF re-
pairing 1t. While so engaged one OF
the suite playfully challenged me to
exercise my art and make the mirror
whole again. never dreaming that this
challenge was the very cue l wanted.
aud not considering the successful ac-
ceptauce OF il as possible. l hesitated
an instant. and then ordered the mir
ror to be covered with cloth entirely
concealiug 1t from view. On the re-
moval Of the cloth. after ten minutes.
the mirror was found without q law.
aud as perfect a. before the damage.

ton Ia. decide how this trick was done.

Several Important Industries in the Country

Manuhctursrs-Tbs Cost 10 the
Canning Industry.
sp.eta, zsleOrGrn to The Register.


WASHINGTON, D. O., October IL
Representative elect Bunting, OF New
York, himself q large Gamer and presi-
dent Of the New York Canned Goods
Association, a purely business organi-
zation. has devoted himself for long
time to investigating the subject OF the
alleged manufacture Of tin In this coun-
try. The facts he has already gathered
make most damaging showing for the
alleged tin plate industry, ana KNOCKS
the bottem out OF some OF Major Nc
Kinlev's stock arguments In his OHIO
campaign. Mr.. Bunting Is now in
Washington and said to-day that not a
box OF tin plate was being made IN this
country and he did not believe any
would ever be made here.
In framing his bill, Mr.. Bunting SAID
Mckinley was completely hoodwinked
by about forty firms who make sheet
iron roofing. These firms assured the
Major that II they could have more
protection they would be able to make
cheap tin, but their real purpose was,
by making tin dearer, to supplant that
article for roofing by their sheet iron
manufacture.
Mr.. Bunting declares that Mckinley
now knows he was fooled and feels bad
ly about it. Mr.. Bunting says the Nc
Kinley bill has caused such rise in the
price of tin that since July his firm
alone has paid So, 900 more for tin than
the same amount cost them last year,
while Mckinley declared when framing
his bill that the article would be fifty
cents a box cheaper.
Chow much have the consumers paid
this year as result Of the tax?"
SIN the first instance the figures are
accurate; in the second approximate.
There are 1000 canning establishments
in this country. They alone have paid
SIS, 900, 900 in the increased cost of tin
plate. This raises the price OF every
can or piece of canned goods from half
10 a cent to the wholesaler. The whole
saler and the retailer each still further
advance the price till it is difficult to
tell Just how much the final consumer,
who eventually pays it all, has been
mulcted. want to impress also the
fact that the United States did not get
from us the FIVE million we have paid
directly in the increase cost of tin plate.
The spectators in Wales reaped the
harvest"
