When ring is fixed on the finger
from the swelling of the skin or joint,
rub the finger with soap and cold
water, and it will then generally admit

strong thread or piece of fine Irvine,
and, beginning at the end OF the finger,
wind it regularly around and around

the ring is reached; then slip the end
through the ring from the side next to
the end of the finger, and begin to I'M

carries the ring with it. Sometimes,
however, when the finger is very much

AMERICANS GREAT COURAGE.
Possibilities In Long Distance Electric
Power Transmission.

Power Transmission.
The feasibility Of power transmission
by means of electricity over distances
of limited extent has been clearly DEM
onstrated in the long years of expert
ence with the direct current, but
transmission by means of the o.
rect current speedily reached
limit, beyond which for econom-
ical reasons it became inadvlsapie
to 90. Yet it was transmitted over
very long distances. How best to Ell
feet this became the urgent question OF
the hour.
The direct current was, perforce, dis
carded, and the alternating current
called into reGuisition. Attainment W
an economical solution was by no
means easy. Difficulty after difficulty
arose, requiring countless experiments
to elucidate; and alteration after al
teration in machinery was made, m
yolving the expenditure of vast sums.
Bv successive and painful stages a
| solution was finally reached, and TO-
day the long-distance transmission OF

AFTER THE BLOOMING.

Oh, little rosebud with petals red,
As you nod by the garden wal
And dewdrops drink,
Do you ever think
That some day your petals Will fall?
Some day your fragrance will all be gone.
Your sweetness thing of the past!
For 1t matters not how
Much priced you are now.
Little rosebuds cannot always last.
And. oh, little maiden, with eyes so blue,
AS you sing, and laugh. and are gay
Does it come to you
That some day, too.
Your roses will pass away?
But the little rosebud mods on by the wall.
Caressed by the winds so free;
And the blue-eyed Girl
Swings in the mad whirl
Unheeding the song and me.
Oh, wise little rosebud and wise little girl
Why turn to the dark ere you must?
Nod on and laugh on
Till your pleasures are gone.

PIRATES BURIED GOLD.
Treasure Worth 100000 Believed to BE
Hidden Away in Louisiana.

Treasure Worth SSUV'ooV h'oho'~~ ~
Hidden Away in Louisiana.
Not long ago Mr.. Palmer, OF Lake
Charles, La, purchased tract OF iaho
situated On the south bank OF Enghsh
bavou. at it's junction with the Cal-
casieu. This property is commonly |
known as the English Bayou Blui1s.
To all intents this gentleman MADE
the deal simply for purposes of specula'
ton. So it may be imagined that Mr.
Palmer was overwhelmed by the legeho
which was told him a few days ago.
He was one morning in his ofhce
when an old creole came IN and intro
duced himself. After few minor re-
marks he suddenly inquired II MT.
Palmer had not made the deal Tor the
land about the mouth of the bayou. oh
be;no answered in the affirmative, he
told this story:
"Along in the first part of this CEN
tury things were rocky in these parts.
There was no town here then, and, with
the exception of a few scattered
ranches. the country was held by the
Ouelouesho and Choctaw Indians.
.oThe Calcasieu river, however, ana
its tributaries were in the possession
of the pirate, Lafitte. For years ne
made this section one OF his hlolhS
places. and a secure one it was, Tor,
once across the bar with his chopper
built schooners, he was beyond the
reach of the average deep-water cruiser
.R,,t it is said that on one occaslo!
his nursuers crossed the bar and chased
him I'D the river, for he sailed as far as
the English bayou, and there on these
high banks, in the angle formed oy th'
+. two streams, he buried 100000 in gold
"Then about 200 yards further up tn
Calcasieu, he sunk his vessel, and witt
his men took to the dense swamps, leaV
ing his pursuers no clew as TO ms where
abouts, and they probably never knew
what became of the vessel or Its crew.
Whether this man spoke the truth o
