A TALE OF TWO RINGS.
How a Young Girl Learned the Significant
of the Golden Circlet.

How a Young Girl Learned the Significance
of the Golden Circlet.
When Estelle was a mere child, her
mother occasionally showed to her a
slender gold ring set with a tiny dia-
mond. This ring her mother kept
locked in a little brass casket, which
was in turn kept in a locked bureau
drawer. Estelle noticed that the ring
was in places worn almost to a thread,
and that sometimes, when her mother
fitted it on her finger, she wept before
returning it to the dark little casket.
Estelle knew that her mother was q
widow, but she was not quite sure
what a widow was, and she knew also
hat she herself was the youngest of
many children-so many that at five
years of age, Estelle could never re-
member the exact number.
Often during her childhood Estelle,
having seen others wear beautiful
rings, had wondered why her mother
did not wear hers, and had even asked
for an explanation: Because. darling, >
her mother had said, papa gave the
ring to mamma, and she must not YEA
it out" Estelle wondered who papa"
was, and why he should care if her
mother wore the pretty little ring.
Afterward. Estelle's mother died, and
Estelle grew older and forgot about
the ring. She had not time to culti-
vate the sentiments that belong to such
%trifes, for she was very poor and
worked day after day in a kitchen.
But in time a young farmer, who
worked in the field even harder than
Estelle worked in the kitchen. grew
foud of her. EsteIle surreptitiously
gave him sometimes the largest plate
of dessert that was served, and he re-
warded uher with a meaning look.
Then followed the old story, and Estelle
learned there was something in life
worth living for, and that it was not a
diamond. until one day the young
farmer placed on her finger a ring ex-
actly like her mothers, except hat it
was heavier and had never been worn
before. When her lover was gone
Estelle leaned on the kitchen table and
toyed with the ring, and then for the
first time she realized why her mother
cherished and guarded the ring that
she kept in the casket- Jewellers

THE cow.
veneration of the People of the Far East
for the Animal.

SeneratiOn OF the People OF the Far East
for the Animal.
Brethren. l have come al the way
from the northwest to ask you to be
good and kind to our mother cow, the
COW that helped all of us to real our
children, the Gov that helped all of us
to cultivate and fertilize our lands, and
the GOV that is affOrding us the best of
good food that is to be found on this
earth, namely. milk. No one came
from the northwest to ask you to dc
this before. Why? Because the COW
did not need protection. She a re-
garded both by the Hindus and Mussul-
mans with veneration. No one i'll
treated her. no one tortured her. and
no one was so cruel as to deprive her of
her life for the vie purpose of eating
her flesh.
But times are changed. We have a
government now that do not view the
crime of cow killing with hatred. Why
should they: Our governors them
selves are the greatest beef eaters on
the face of the earth, and consequently
they do not sympathize with our feel
ing in the matter. Nay, they encour-
age the wholesale slaughter of cows,
so that where there were a few butch
ers only, thousands and thousands
have sprung up whose sole business is
to secure cows and kill them
See the effect of all this general
slaughter on the country. Lands are
not so fertile as before not being
MANFRED. Our children are weak and
sickly, not having the nourishment
they used to have before, and our good
fortune is deserving us on account of
our sin in not endeavorfng to protect
our mother COW. So, unless you axe
heed of what l say. you will soon find
that you will be very sorry. All your
lands will cease TO yield. all your chill
dren will grow up weak and sickfy,
and our nation will be extinct in a few
generations. Calcutta Paper.

During the great strike a few years

British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers to maintain the necessary train
service. Upon one occasion a young
fellow was put upon a section in Fife
One day he some distance past a

In the twelfth century Kyoto was the
center of life in Japan, and the district
of Uji, between that city and Nara, has
always kept its reputation for produc-

leaves are those on the young spring
shoots. Most of the shrubs grow in
the open air without any protection,

feet high. and among them the women
and children were at work. As they
squatted by the plants filling their

umbrella tied to the head, as a protec-

were not in the fields were busily
