ENGAGEMENT RINGS.

Engagement rings among the Egyp-
tians were always made of iron, symbol
fzing the mutual sacrifice of liberty One
Of the earliest gems used in the engage
ment rings was loadstone which was
supposed to indicate the force Of attrac-
ton which drew tho maiden from her
own family into another.
Gold money used to circulate in form of
rings in Egypt at very early time and
the Egyptian at his marriage placed one
Of these gold rings on his wife's finger to

betrothal Of the ceremony. This wed"
included a ring, which was. placed on the
ma1den's right hand, where 1t remained
until, at the marriage. 1t was transferred
to the fourth finger Of the left.
The gift of ring in Spain is looked
upon as the equivalent Of a promise of
marriage, and is considered sufficient
proof for the maiden to claim her hus-
band. A we'll known custom is that of
passing piece Of bride cake through
the wedding ring, and those to whom the
pieces are given place them under their
pillows at night In order that they may

OUR POETIC MAYOR.

In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love- So with
the kindly and amative gentleman who at
presents officiates as mayor Of st. Paul.
Amidst the vexations incident to the
trucking ingratitude Of his party asso-
ciates, Mayor Kiefer still finds sufficient
ardency of soul to appeal to the muses.
in the discharge of his official duties. Not
the least imaginative of the ignoble souls
who have found themselves unable to rise
to a full recognition of the sacrifices
which Mayor Kiefer made on behalf Of
the city of his love n consenting to be
elected its chief magistrate will deny
that in all of his state papers has been
revealed q beautiful vein of poetic fancy.
Extending away back to the earlier in
SEPARATIONS of his congressional career,
when that lowly but succulent product
of the soil, the potato, inspired him to an
exposition of economic science which will
long survive in the annals of congress
sional eloquence and profundity, there
has been no public utterance of this dis
tinguished man which has not tended
to beautify and chasten the literature of
true craftsmanship.
Mayor Kiefer's appeal to the young
men of the community in his Arbor day
proclamation, to come forward and plant
each a shade tree to the endurance of
his love, must stir the maiden heart to
it's unfathomed depths. Another poet
perhaps not quite as highly priced in his
lifetime as our own local poet laureate
has found inspiration in arboreal Dreams
just as has Mayor Kiefer, when he sang:
How sweetly bloomed the gay, green birk,
How rich the hawthorne blossom
AS underneath their fragrant shade,
claSped her to my bosom.
There was always lacking In poor
Burns that element of regard for the
unitarian which distinguishes his great
prototype of today. His dreams were
of the golden hours, with angels wings
which glided above him as he sought the
grateful shade beside his lady love. To
the mind or the scholar and humanlta-
rian, like our own Kiefer, the objective
point is, of course, the shade tree and
'its chivalrous and patriotic planter"
for neither of which did Burns give a
continental, so to speak. Yet the differ
ence is only the difference in the age in
which each sang, rather than in the
singer. :, The one lightened the weary
hours Of bucolic toll with the sweet prod
ucts of his imagination. The other de-
scends from the high eminence Of prac-
teal craftsmanship to toy with those vi
sions of youthful bliss to which, as life
advances to its goal, the really poetic
mind will ever revert with feelings Of
mingled joy and regret.

so-CALLED SMOKE Nuisance

At intervals for at least twelve years
st. Paul has been aroused on the subject
of smoke ordinances and smoke con-
sumers. The city council has enacted
ordinances and our commercial bodies
have appointed committees and debated
the subject. and the courts have, in the
last event, been appealed to more than
once in order. ostensibly at least, to put
an end to what is called the smoke nui-
sance. The most recent developments In
this behalf do not differ materially from
those which have resulted In the period
mentioned.
We suppose that it is generally agreed
that 1t would be a great gain to society
If 1t could be saved the necessity of wit
Messing the great outflow of smoke which
Is incident to the use Of large quantities
Of soft coal. If penal enactments of a.
local character could be looked to sue
cessfully for it's removal no doubt we
would long since have been saved its dis
cussion. But not all the ordinances and
resolutions and speeches and scientific
demonstrations thus far made have suf-
feed to satisfy any intelligent person
that this desirable result has yet been at
tanned.
Hardly a business man in ST. Paul
but has had his attention called to the
alleged existence of one or more de-
vices through the adoption Of which all
our woes in this direction would be
brought to a close. These devices have
been offered for sale with remarkable fire.
quency, and it may be a mere coinct-
dence that their appearance on the mar
ket has usually been attended by the re-
opening of the discussion and the at
tempt to legislate the difficulty out of ex-
istence.
In climate like that of st. Paul, where
there Is but little humidity in the atmos-
phere, this evil is not as great as in other
communities. Only on damp days may
the people be said to be greatly annoyed
by it. It's effect on the public health is
not of sufficient moment to be at all a
factor in the case. There is doubtless
not single manufacturing establishment
In this city which would not gladly, ordi-
nance or no ordinance, adopt, of its own
volition, any device that was adeouate
to the end sought If there be such in
existence. it certainly ought to be able
to find its way into general use without
the necessity being imposed on our bust
ness houses Of meeting criminal charges
against their employees. The evil can be
allayed by the careful and skillful hand
ling of furnaces. The preponderance OF
all information on the subject shows.
however, that in order to avoid the evil
altogether nothing short of the use of
anthracite coal will suffice.

he Is than are the members of the lead

heroic one, and it's application Is not
to be confined to any one state.

won as such contests must be carried on.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Prof. Jerome J.
Green continued his experiments in wire
less telegraphy in Chicago today with
uniform success. He sent signals from
the !ife-savlng station to moving tug
on the lake for distance of a mile and
half. At every intervening point be-
tween that and the shore the dots came
distinctly and regularly. in response to
signals whistled from the boat to his as
sistant at the sending station. AS the
browning feat of the day the relay on
the tug gave out in succession the letters
which form the name Of the great discov-
erer, "Marconi."
:, This will probably be the last test Prof.
Green will make In Chicago. Several sug-
gestions have come to him while in Chi
cago, some from practical electricians
and some from the tests he has been
making. These will be made use of
