Il Of more ancient or universal use than the
ring. No other ornament has ever been
endowed with such intimate and sacred
meanings as finger rings, from the sig
net ring of Solomon, before which all the
djinns and afrcets of the world of spirits
bowed in awed humility and fear, to the
gold IN circlct which is placed on the finger
NJ the bride at the altar, from the ring
given in pledge for kings ransom to the
ring Of Queen Bess, which she sent too
late 10 save the life of her favorite, Essex.
Fable and history, sentiment and symbol
ism hover round these familiar little OBJ
jects
The present condition of the wedding
ring aud It's plain unvarnishCd appearance
are modern conventions. In oldcn days
the wedding ring was not only adorned
with gems, but was also worn on the
thumb, practice alluded to by Butler in
"Hudbras" and Southcrne in The Maid s
Last Prayer" 1t is great pity that the
really appropriate wedding rings, the
gemel rings, are not revived.
The gemel ring is horizontally split in
such way that the ring, when off the
finger falls apart into two links, which
pass through each other. On the inner
side Of one half is engraved the name of
the BRIDE on the other half that Of the
bridegroom, and the date of the wedding
is added On the outside, when the two
halves are joined together, may be en-
gravCd a motto at will.
clasped pair of hands or interlaced
hearts were often used on these gemel
rings, the design being constructed only to
be perfect when the ring was In place on
the finger What lover worthy of the
name but would enjoy devising the ring
that is to be the pledge of his lite's lover
Perhaps he elects that the gemel shall he
finished with the clasped hands that sig
nifty lifelong friendship and mutual conf
dence as well as love. Or perhaps he may
incline to two hearts--one OF fiery ruby,
IMPLYING his ardent passion the other of
brilliant diamond, the symbol Of the pur-
ity of his spouse; or peradventure his lean
ing Is to faithfulness, and the steady blue
of the sapphire will crown the gemel; or,
more modest still, he confines himself to
hope and an emerald will bring with 1t
suggestions Of verdant and idyllic joys.
That after weeks of courtship and prep
aration nothing better than golden edi-

human Imagination to do honor to so great
an occasion is a saddening thought,

, BRAVE WOMAN.
How She Rescued Her Husband From tho
Vengeance of "A Puma


Jabez English, sheep herder of this
neighborhood, was engaged in building
a cabin home. his former one having
been destroyed by fire week or two
ago, and was busily at work on lis roof
when he saw an animal steal out of the
woods hard by and fling itself upon the
pail containing his dinner of cold boiled
bacon and bread
He recognized this animal as a puma,
or mountain lion, but thinking he might
frighten it away threw his plane at it,
The tool struck the animal on the head.

ture furious. 1t rushed at the structure
on the peak of which the herdcr sat and
tried to leap up to him. But this was
not to be done. and after several at
tempts tho lion abandoned iy and pro-
ceeded to patrol the spot, growing furi
ously and showing its teeth.
The man. havingno weapon and heing
outof reach Of any one to whom he might
call. could only sit still and wait for the
puma to become tired of the watch or
for deliyerance. Night at last came on,
and still he did not dare venture to quit
his perch, though it was SO cold that he
feared that he would freeze before morn
ing. In the meantime his wife. who was
i'll Santa Anna. Il little mountain hamlet
Of the valley, grew uneasy about him,
and with a lantern started to look for
him. 1t was too dark for English to see
her. but the lion did, and made for her
with II scream of rage.
As the great beast came leaping at her
out of the darkness she dashed the Ian
tern full in lis face. The xumu. startled,
gave way, and English, guessing who the
newcomer was, shouted TO her to rul

A GHOST RINGS THE BELL.
The Woman In White Who Is Startling al
ALL. 4, unit


In the village of Lincolntown, which
Is settled principally by negroes, and
which lies eight CT nine miles south of
this place, there is little church, sur
rounding which is n mystery that is
greatly perpleXing and worrying the
community.
Every night there is to be seen in the
belfry of the ediiice n woman in white,
who rings the bell three times in the
most solemn. fashion and who then dis
appears. How the woman gets there Is
what is puzzlins the good people of
Linco!ntown. for the only approach to
the belfry is a stairway to which en-
trance is gained by a single door. and
not only is this door guarded every
night since the commencement of the
mysterious to!ling but the staircase is
watched by 200 or 800 eyes. and at dark
the belfry itself is watched and thor
oughlv searched and is found to be en-
tirely empty. Besides. the bclfry is only
large enough to hold the bell itself. and
when that is in motion there is no foot
ing for Il person.
The rope that is ordinarily employed
in ringing the bell hangs all the time in
plain view of the crowd and is perfectly
motionless. The woman is also dis
tinctly visible but whether white or
black it is impossible to tell. Even if
the figure itself was a tigment of the I'M
agination. the ringing of the bell is not
as that is TO be Enthusiastically heard fora
quarter of amile. The negroes are much
excited over the matter ana say that 1t is
a aportent of i'll to the race. .Asto the iden-
| tity Of the ghost, it is generally believed
that it is the restless spirit of Il woman
named Jonelle Lambkin, who, on ;lc-
count Of some mislemeanor charged
! against her, was put out Of the church
here in spite of her continued reiteration
Of her innocence. Jonelle died about
two months ago, alleging with erdyin,,
breath that she was a wrongfully ac-
cused woman and that the community
would ultimately receive proof of this
