EEGAGELIENT RINGS

Engagement rings among the Egyp-
tians were always made of iron, symbol
izing the mutual sacrifice of liberty.
The gift Of ring in Spain is looked
upon as the equivalent of a promise of
marriage, and is considered sufficient
proof for Il maiden to claim her hus-
band.
One of the earliest gems used in the
engagement rings was a loadstonc,
which was supposed to indicate the
force of attraction which drew the
maiden from her own family to an
other.
Gold money used to circulate in form
of rings in Egypt at Il very early time,
and the Egyptian at his marriage placed
one Of these gold rings on his wife's
finger to signify that he trusted her
with all his property.
Among the Anglo-Saxons the bride
groom gave a pledge, or ''wed," at the
betrothal of the ceremony. This wed"
included Il ring. which was placed on
the maiden's right hand, where it re-
manned until, at the marriage, it was
transferred to the fourth finger of the
left.
A well-known custom is that of pass
ing 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
dream OF their husband that is to be.
These "drcamcrs," as they are called
should be drawn nine times through
the ring. Many brides, however, are
so supcrstitious that neither for that
purpose nor on any other occasion will
they take the ring Off the finger when
once it has been placed there.

CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.
Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rivcs For Revenge.

VIII Sbt Shtil IN opportunity Ar
rives For Revenge.
The Arab who has angered a camel
will throw his clothes upon the ground
and the Infatuated beast, after stamp
ing on them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes on his way, and
the driver Is thereafter quite safe, as it
seems to be an axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in peril of life
twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid, save when angry,
and then seems to become almost pre-
ternatural in carrying out Its vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates the following
story of camel's revenge, which serves
to illustrate this point: "a lad of Ia
had conducted a large camel laden with
wood from one village to another at q
half hours distance AS the animal
loitered or turned out of the way its
conductor struck it repeatedly and
harder than it seemed to have thought
he had right to do. But not finding
the occasion favorable for taking imme-
date quits 1t 'bode its time That time
was not long in coming.
"a few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to
his own village. When they were about
half way on the road and at some dis
TANGO from any habitation, the camel
suddenly stopped, looked deliberately
round in every direction to assure it
self that no one was in sight and, find
ing the road clear Of passersby, made q
step forward, seized the unlucky boy 8
head in its monstrous mouth. and, lift
ing him up in the air, flung him down
again on the earth with the upper part
Of his skull completely torn off
Having thus satisfied his revenge.
the brute quietly resumed its pace to-
ward the village, as though nothing
were the matter, till some men. who
had observed the whole, though unfor-
tunately ut too great distance to be
able to afford timely help, came up and
killed it. London Telegraph
