ANCIENT POLITICAL "RINGS."
MonopOlistS FlOurIshed Centuries
Ago in Rome and Egypt ns
They Do To-day.

The evil of monopolies -and rings
was known to the ancients, Aristotle,
referring to them in his Politics" and
then, as now it was found necessary to
hold them in check by legislation. The
monopolist was in Roman law called q
Dardanarius, and published under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia, says London
Answers. Monopnlies of clothing, fish
and all articles of food were prohibited
by Emperor Zeno under pain of con-
iscation and exile; so that it is certain
that the rings" of the ancient days
were as mischievous as those of to-day.
At Athens law limited the amount of
corn a man might buy. The earliest
recorded instance we have was a corn
"ring." .....-..
There is an ancient tradition that
the king who made Joseph his prime
minister and committed into his hands
the entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole
of Egypt, as Joseph's Pharaoh seems
to have done. The prime minister, dur
ing seven years of remarkable plenty,
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs Of the Egyptians
and stored it. During the terrible fam
inc that followed, he was sure to get
his own price, and bartered corn sue
cessfully for the Egyptians money,
cattle and lands, and taking one-fifth
for Pharaoh, made him supremacy
wealthy. It was not merely provident
act, but very polite one, his policy be-
ing to centralize power in the mon
lrch's hands. . .' .......

language. The result of all this was
that he was dismissed from the SER
vice January 2, 1777.
Ezekiel Hopkins at once equipped
fast and powerful privateer, and
again went to sea. He sailed to the
East Indies, where his daring and
skill found rich rewards. During one
cruise he captured sufficient num-
Der OF rich English merchantmen to
cause his profits to fooG up over ST.
100000. At another time he fell in
with large fleet of English mer-
chantmen protected by man of war.
He bodily joined the fleet, and every
night cut out and captured a vessel,
until he had sent ten home and could
spare no more men from his crew.
He became the most successful and
daring OF all the American privateers-
men. Wheo the war ended he return
ed to Rhode Island and became one
of her most prominent and busy citi-
zens.-Boston Transcript.

"Pl have nothing more to do with
him." declared one of the bellies of De-
troit, with pout, according to that
city's Free Press. "He's perfect stick.
The idea Of him coming here regularly
every week and then dropping off sud-
denly to come at long intervals, just
when it suits him. I'll show him.
Remember, mamma, if he calls I'm
not in, and if he asks me to go
any place I'll tell him that 1 have
previous engagement. 1 never did
care snap of my finger for him, any
how" and there were tears in her eyes,
just as an evidence of good faith.
'Never mind, DEAR" consoled the
mother, who had been through the mill
herself. Its not worth worrying
over"
I'm not worrying, and don't you
dare to think that I'm worrying, either.
The best Percy will ever get from me
is a cold bow OF recognition when we
happen to meet. AS for our being

the question. There goes that tele-
phone" and the mother could not help
hearing the home end of the conversa-
ton.
"Oh, hello, Percy, knew your voice.

bad. This unreasonable weather has
made so many people sick. Saturday
night? Won't that be charming? Moth
ing could please me more. At eight
o'clock I'll be ready. It's awfully kind
of you. Good-by."
Then she whistled her own accom-
paniment to a waltz as she danced back
to her mamma, who made innocent in

Sad laundering.

The news frem the Atlantic fleet is
far from satisfactory. 1t is hard to
see why there should be an appar-
emily fruitless bombardment of San
Juan Bautista; it has all along been
hard to see why the Oregon was or
dered to the Alta ltlc, on a long and
perilous voyage, when our fleets there
have at all tines been far ahead of
the Spanish forces in every way, the
Oregon being much more needed in
the Pacific; it is hard to see why
there should be such repeated delays
in the sending of troops to Cuba; it is
not easy to see why New England
troops should be sent to stay for days
or perhaps weeks in the fever-breed-
ing swanps Of southern Florida, when
they should he sent to Cuba direct
in unimpared health aud vigor when.
ever they we're wanted. All these
things are hard to comprehend, and
indicate laundering somewhere that
is sure to cause much needless waste
of life and supplies, and to fatten the
prospective pension rolls. 1t is a
thousand pities that the political
fighters could not be relegated to the
rear from the first, as they had to be
at the war Of the Rebellion, and as
they will have to be in this war if it
amounts to anything. The atmos-
phere at Washington is to" foul for
the patriotic fires to burn with the
necessary brilliance.-Salt Lake Trib-
