RINGS AND RING LORE.

Chauccr in more than one place alludes
to the thumb ring rs common in his time
When peers are created in Great Britain,
ring is used during the ceremony of in
vestiture.
AT various times during the Roman en-
pire loyal subjects wore in their rings por-
traits Of the reigning emperor
Roman generals were permitted, by an
pdict Of the senate to wear rings hearing
portraits of the adversaries they had over
come.
The mummios of the royal princesscs of
Egypt often had rings on their fingers In
one case % were found on the hands of
one mummy.
Among SOlons laws there is one forbid
ding jewellers to retain copies. models or
impressions of signet rings which they
had made. This WAS to prevent forgery.
In the Etruscan tombs of northern Italy
gold rings have been found made i'm the
shape Of cord, II large knot of intricate
pattern forming the principal part of the
ornament.
Hebrew marriage rings were formerly
very elaborate, hearing upon the back u
representation of a Golfer or casket, which
sometimes contained slips of paper on
which prayers or charms were written.
Down to the present century rings were
frequently given away in England and
France at funerals of noted persons. and
in old wills are found provisions made for
rings to be distributed at the funeral of
the donor.
Assyrian rings, the stone being carved
for signet have been found in NineVeh
and Babylon. Some specimens are pro
vided with double Keepers one above and
the other below the signet, to prevent the
ring from falling off.-St. Louis Globe

THE SITUATION IN INDIANA.

The following extracts from private
letter are Interesting as throwing light
on the political feeling in Indiana. The
writer has long been prominent resi-
dent of indianapolis;
MIR. JOSEPH BATTELL.
Ded SH:-I am so glad that the new
political party made such favorable he
ginning at Washington. have for the
past two wears felt deeply interested in
the financial problem, and read every
thing in relation thereto that has come
within my reach including your very
able and Ineligible articles in the Mid
dlebuTy REGISTER. 1t is beyond my
ken how any man with enough brains TO
know that he is alive con train with
either of the old parties. when hc must
know that the matter of finances is al
most the only Important subject to be
considered in the next presidential cam
paign, and that the professional politi-
clans of the democratic and Republican
parties occupy precisely the same posi-
ton. have always voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, but will never do so again
unless they fairly, squarely and openly
adopt the principles and platform of the
new Peoples party land that will not come
to pass, at least not before the next presi-
dental election; and this is the feeling
of cccry SiRgie one Of my dcqudiHtdnccS
that | have heard express themselves
there are three such now in the room as
| write. tell you, friend b., do not
believe you and other leaders in this
movement fully realize the extent of the
dissatisfaction against the old parties on
account of the money question. Two
thirds of the voters of Indiana are ready
to Join any new party that promises Il
change for the better IN the matter of
finances; but they have kept compare
lively silent simply tor want of a leader
a lack of organization and an organ.
Almost every private citizen, except
bankers and other capitalists, would
welcome and work for a radical change
if they could see their way clear to its
Accomplishment. Let them see that
there Is "A well organized, honest, aggres-
sive, bold movement to this end, led by
men of brains fresh from the people, and
they will desert the old parties like rats
from sinking ship.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Burlington Earth pledges its sup
port to Major Grout for the governorship.
Well, we don't believe it's the majors
fault and the public shouldn't Law it up
against him. Mortified News.
What shall be done? The Herald is
disposed to be modest in Offering sug-
gestiOns, but Honest Farmer Grout
should not lose courage. If enemies at
tack his boom let him rememb Der that the
fruits of the husbandman's toll always
have enemies, and vet the bucolic world
exists and prOspers. Let him arm him
self with paris green and patience and
perseverance and go forth and do battle
with things. Let him find yet another
mau to whom he can write letters urg-
Ing that he and the country be saved.
Let him take comfort in thought of the
power of the machine. With good man
agement the wishes of the mass of the
people cut no figure, and even an adj
verse convention has been neatly manip-
ulated before now. Let him have the
Burlington Free Press "come out" for
HIM. That coming OUT is IA part of
the bargain, and the paper must surely
have some readers who do not know
how things are managed. Let some
other ringworm newspaper reach for the
farmers by telling how much he knows
about pruning mangel-wurZels and wood
chuck culture and so on. Keep doing.

PERFUME S.

Every sacrifice offered on IA Roman altar

some Odor extracted from them.
The medieval recipes for making per
fumes showed that the manuf; y ture WAS
exceedingly crude and the methods were

There are scores of references in the
Bible to the use OF perfumes by the He

in private life
The Egyptian perfumes, according to
ancient authorities, We're mostly made in
Egypt from materials imported from Ara
bia, Persia and central Africa.
A slab in the great palace of Nincvch
represents a lady fainting and an attend
ant holding IL smelling bottle, probably of
perfumes, to her nose to revive her.
The fruits and flowers which attain
greatest perfection and the highest fra
GRANGE in south Europe afford favorable
facilities for the manufacture of perfumes
and essences.
In the manufacture of pomades the fat
is repeatedly melted, strained and purified,
after which the desired essence or perfume
is added, or the fat is impregnated with the
odors of the flowers themselves.
