A Ring 400 Years Old.

Mr.. S. H. Waller sees the list OF old
relics in the possession of other men in
the county and knocks 'em all clean out
with ring that has a history extend
ing back over 800 years. The ring in
question is plain gold one, with the
following ingraved inside: John
Waller, OBJ. Septem' 9th, 1854, A. E.
83, g." Though the inscription in
the ring only shows it to be 144 years
old, yet Mr.. Waller has documents in
his possession which show that the
ring was owned first by Sir Edmund
Waller, the English poet, who was a
royalist in England when Cromwell
assumed the protectorate and was
compelled to fee for his life, being an
sdherent of Charles l., who placed
the ring on his finger, from which
three other rings were made, and of
which that now in possession of Mr..
S. H. Waller is one.-Glasgow (Ky.)

To onset Female C1ub Life.

An "Order of Old-Fashioned Wom-
en-" has recently been established in
Atlanta, Ca, to counteract in some
measure the effect of the ''new wom-
an, who has made herself as conspic-
nous on the other side of Mason and
Dixon's line as on this. The order
was originated by eight prominent
young matrons, and has grown and
developed beyond their most sanguine
expectations. The express object of
the organization, which is in itself
old-fashioned, is ''to accomplish good
deeds and aid the poor and afflicted. T"
In order to raise money for the work,
the usual bazaars and entertainments
are resorted to, and few moDths ago
a grand terpsichorean carnival was
given at the Atlanta Opera House, to
which society lent its talent. Several
thousand dollars was realized from this
venture, which will be expended in
establishing maternity ward in the
Grady Hospital. The o.iginal e. yht
vino established the order now com
pose what is known as Chapter ga. {"
They are Mrs. Wilmer Moore, Mrs.
William Ellis, Mrs. Julian Field, Mrs.
Morris Brandon, Mrs. Robert Mad
dox, Jr., Mrs. Thomas r. r. Cobb.
Mrs. Robert Foreman and Mrs. Henry
Inman. Chapters "B, " Sc" and sd"
have since then been established in
differentparts of the city, and branches
have been organized in Nashville and
Augusta, both of which have adopted
the general character and aims of the
Atlanta society, to which they will be
more or less tributary.
The peculiarity of the order is that
it has no President or other general
officers, and that its meetings are pure
ly social, unrelieved by the papers,
essays and discussions that are a part
of general club life. The different
chapters are limited in membership,
and, when any business is before
their meeting, are presided over by
temporary Chairmen; they are, in
fact, modelled after the old-time sew
ing circles of our grandmothers, when
to speak out in meeting" was deemed
a sin.-New York journal.

selling old False Teeth.

cold false teeth bought" That is
the sign that has made even Chicago
stop and wonder. It is over shop
where dental and optical supplies are
sold. Selling old teeth is a unique
traffic, TO put it mildly. The principal
customers in this little shop are young
dentists, who bring the. old teeth of
their patrons to be sold.
If there IS gold in the teeth they
come higher, as it can be melted aud
used again After all, it is a good
thing for the poor people, who cannot
go to dentist and have plate made
for them With little trouble these
secondhand plates are fitted TO their
mouths and they get "a bargain" in
teeth.

When sheep lose their wool it is a
sign that they are feverish. This
condition is nearly always an indica-
tion that the digestive organs are i'm
paired. Old sheep that have begun
to lose their teeth are especially liable
to be affected in this way. 1t is mostly
caused by hard, dry food, though the
Indigestion may be due to a surfeit of
grain. Some succulent food, such as
bran mash, fed warm, is good. So
are roots of any kind, if they are
sliced so that the sheep can easily eat
them. The sheep is a ruminant, and
If the roots are in slices, though they
may go down in hard Jumps, they will
come up in the mouth and be there
thoroughly remasticated. Unless you
mean to give special care to the sheep
that begin to lose their wool, it is
better economy TO kill them at once
and sell their hides for the little they
will bring. Those on which the wool
is stripped from most of the belly will
probably die before spring, whatever
care you can give them. All sheep
old enough to be unsafe to winter
should be separated at shearing time,
and fattened for killing during the
summer, when the fattening is easy,
because the sheep can then find plenty
OF succulent rasturage.

New Use For The A1exaphone.

to express his feelings, altogether too
violent, and it impaired a distinct
flavor of irascibility to the language
which legan to flow with his return

brilliant idea of having a megaphone
constructed TO connect his headauar-

where the men are at work. When
the work lags now or any conflict of
authority arises, he is able to make
his voice heard at the seat of the

if not to that of his employees, who say
that the megaphone gives an irritat.

Miss Willard was a patriotic woman and
American through and through, but the
grand world sweep OF her lnbors made her
opolite.-Rochester Times.
The death OF Miss Frances Willard re-
moves from the sphere OF earthly useful
ness ono OF the purest spirits that ever
graced the round earth.-Denver Post.
Other leaders may arise to carry on her
work, but none can win warmer place in
the hearts of the women OF America than
Miss Willard.-Racine Journal.
But, in spite of the fact that she repre-
sented what is called the progress OF
Somen," she was not a new woman in any
sense OF the word.-New York Sun.
Probably no woman leader in any OF the
reformatory movements of the time has in
spired her followers with higher degree
OF trust, confidence and affection. .-Phila-

The motto-of her choosing, we believe
"For God and Home and Native Land" OF
her organization was not merely rhetorical.
She was one OF the cleverest thiA ters of
her sex.-New York Press.
Miss Willard was a genius In organization
and administration. A tireless worker
and keen judge Of persons, she knew
where to place her trust and where to labor
herself In the efleld.-Washington Star.
She took a part, and one OF far-reaching
prominence and Importance, in the worlds
affairs, yet was always woman, never
losing the tender grace, charm and delicacy
which, after all are the distinguishing
traits of the sex.-Philadelphia North

1t is not too much to say that, without

the first time he has harness on, put
the colt beside an old, well-broken
horse, aud hitch him to a sleigh after
one or two drives without anything
attached to him. Do not try to drive
him through drifts, as many a young
horse when getting into drift will
founder, and may break leg in try

sleigh is that it. cannot be heavy

Tenperanee Of the Tartars.

Here is n little bit OF testimony as to the
influence OF strong drink in shortening
life, and Of course in impairlng the life by
establishing diseased conditions, 1t may be,
long before the end. Oficiat statistics
show that while the mortality amongst the
Russians is forty per 1000, the rate amongst
the kazan Tartars, who are abstainers from
tntoxicants Is only twenty-one per 1000.
These Tartars, who live in Russia, number
$40, 900. With the exception of their teeto-
talism they live under exactly the same
conditions as the Russians. Granting the
accuracy of the figures given it is to be sup
posed that the Russians prefer "a short
lie and a merry onel"

Wheat is now higher than it has
been for several years, and too dear tc
feed to grown animals of any kind
Yet we think small amount fed daily
to young and growing pigs will pay
even at present prices. 1t will prob
ably pay to feed wheat to all pigs, in
part to replace the corn ration that is
always injurious. Wheat oontains
more nearly the elements of growth
than any other grain except peas OF
beans, and only sheep can be induced
to eat whole beans. Wheat bran and
wheat middlings cost nearly as much
as wheat, and are not so good for
feeding purposes if given in modera.

Fearful and wonderfuI Ornaments.

Fearful aud wonderful has been the
decorative wear of women everywhere
through the ages. She has worn
skewers in the nose of her, rings on
the toes of her. She has tied snake
around her neck and tangled fire-flies
in her hair. But she has never till
now served her lovely self up to us en-
tortue, as the Pail Mall Gazette puts
it. But now, it seems, tortoise is GO
ing to be-in sense--her only wear.
Of course the tortoise she wears is the
live variety-the dead, in this case al
so, would soon cease to interest her.
The live tortoise comes to her from
the Landes. 1t first passes through
the hands of her jeweler-the un-
adorned tortoise is not beautiful. The
leweler fits the tortoise with a filigree
coat of mail studded with precious
stones. The animal is then secured
by fine gold chain. The wearer at
taches the chain to an ornamental
hook in her dress, first taking a turn
with it round her own neck. The re-
splendent tortoise then fulfills its mis-
sion by exhibiting itself upon the
wearer's shoulders to the extent of its
tether; and thus enables lovely woman
to exhibit herself at what, we should
hope, will be the extent of hers.
