Rings and Their::..Symbolisms.

| BY Henry w. Lipman, from Home and
Country New York; for June.
When young Russian girls are
anxious to know if they will be
married (and what young girl is
not anxious to know that2) several
of them assemble, each wearing a
ring. A large basket of corn is
brought in and each girl drops her
ring in carefully, stirring up the
corn the while. Then a hungry
hen is introduced, and whichever
maiden's ring is first discovered,
will be the first one married.
In the marshes of the North Sea
coast it was formerly customary in
Germany for the bridegroom
to give the bride 'on the day
of betrothal, instead of a
ring, valuable coin, called
"Echle," or genuine, as pledge
that the compact between them
was binding. This is also rem
nant of the time when wives were
acquired by right of purchase, and
the custom is still prevalent in
some isolated places.
Among un-ChristianiZed nations
betrothal rings are unknown. For
example, a Mohammedan, instead
of giving his bride a ring, be-
slows on her a "Maschkass," or
square amulet of pure gold, which
the girl hangs around her neck.
In India a small amulet is worn
by woman as badge of MARI
age. 1t generally consists of many
cOlOred beads, and is about as large
round as bracelet, but there must
be some gold in it,however little.An
amulet ring Of the fifteenth CEN
fury, discovered some eighty years
ago in England, was supposed to
guarantee it's wearer against all
evil. In the middle is the figure of
Christ, with the five holy wounds,
from which ooZe drops of blood.
The surrounding inscriptions are {:
"The we'll of everlasting life"
"The well of pity" "The well Of
mercy" "The well of comfort"
"The we'll of grace"
Among the Anglo-SaXons the
ring was worn only by the bride or
wife, on whose right hand it was
placed at the betrothal, being
transferred to the left hand at the
marriage ceremony. The ring
adorned with deaths heads, is a
masterpiece of the italian gold
smiths art in the sixteenth CEN
fury.

The Graveyard of American Ship
ping.

ping.
BY George Ethelbert Walsh. From Home
and Country for June.
Every ocean steamer carries a
large crew, varying from a score
or more to several hundred, and in
the event of a disaster at sea the
loss Of life would be large even
though no passengers were on
board. The wreck of the White
Star freighter Naronic, with all her
crew, carried mourning into scores
of homes, while the AlvO of more
recent date was no more merCiful
in it's plunge beneath the waves.
Enormous sums have to be paid
as salvage money to the rescuers
of ocean steamers when they are
disabled at sea, and probably this
is a more fruitful source OF eX-
pense to the large companies than
any other. On her first voyage
the City of New York (as she was
then called) ran ashore aft Sandy
Hook, and it cost the company
100000 to float her off. In 1890
her sister ship, the City Of Paris,
broke her engines off the Irish
coast, and was tOwed into port at
an expense of $4,000 as salvage
money. The City of Boston broke
her shaft in 1882, and it cost the
company $4,000 to get her into
port, and the Venezuela, of the Red
d line, stuck on the Brigantlne
shoals off New Jersey, in 1889, so
that the company had to spend
over forty thousand dollars to
get her off. The City of Richmond
was towed into Halifax Harbor, in
1882, at an expense of $4,000. The
list could be largely extended,
showing that the amount of sal
wage money paid for rendering SER
vices to disable steamers at sea is
so enormous that it almost equals
the loss entailed by injuries to our
wooden vessels. The loss Of life is
less. 1t is quite rare that an ocean
steamer is submerged beneath the
waves so that the crew and pas
sengers are lost, but when such an
accident does transpire the des-
truction is appalling. 1t excites
the interest and sympathy of two
continents, and warns the world
again Of the danger that comes to
those who sail upon the high sea
