ADVERTISING AXlOMS.

The duller the season the moro need
there Is of advertising, and of good advex-

Never sit down to write an ad until you
have thoroughly thought out the subject
and know exactly what you wish to say.
No newspaper reader will over believe
'selling out below cost" announcement
unless adequate reasons for the sacrifice
are given.
Sincerity In an advertisement is tho
condimcnt which frequently makes an
otherwise unattractive business-literary"
dose palatable

RINGS AND RING LORE.

Betrothal rings came into use in Europe
as early as the ninth century

In the Imperial museum in Paris
In the later Roman empire rings cut
from solid stone, generally agate or onyx,
became fashionable.

Anglo-Saxon rings were fashioned after
knotted cables, the knot being worn on
the outside Of the hand
In the seventh and eighth centuries. at
every wedding among wealthy Saxons,
numbers OF gold rings were given away
to friends as mementos of the occasion.
Quintillian laid down certain rules for
the wearing of rings. He protested against
the use of too many and said that It was
not in good taste to wear rings below the
middle joint Of the finger.
In both ancient and mediavel times div
ination rings were common. The setting,
generally of onyx, was carved with SYM
bolic figures, in which were supposed to
reside the mysterious potency of the jewel.
The dagger ring, the blade of which was
poisoned, was one Of the internal machines
