A Scotch Ring.

The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic. not
TO say melancholy, character. 1t is be-
lieved that it was the favorite ring of
Mary Stuart and that after her judicial
murder in Fotheringay castle it was
transmitted to her son. From James 1t
descended to Charles l., Mt whose coro-
nation at Scone in 1858 1t played dis
tinct part. Once more did this i'll fated
ring figure at an untimely and i'll merit
ed death, for, with almost his last
breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall,
Charles bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon
in trust for his son.
In due course of time the ring came
into the possession of James III. and
was carried away with him on his
fight to the continent. When, however,
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness, the ring, which had been
secreted in the kings underclothing,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest of
mistakes on the part OF the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was pass
ed on uninjured to James descendants
till by the bequest Of Cardinal York 1t
became the property Of the reigning
dynasty once more and was by them re-
placed among the royal jewels of Scot
land. from which 1t had been separated
for many n long year.-Good Words.

The beef ouestien.

South Dakota cattle feeders are
promising relief from the high prices
that are now being asked for beef.
They say that they are carrying more
cattle than ever before, as there was
an unusual growth of grass there in
1901, and when someof the southwestern
states were suffering from the drought
they purchased more cattle than ever
before, and, as the winters have been
mild and the ranges well covered with
grass, they are feeding their cattle at
small expense with the use Of but little
hay or corn and that they expect to
have grass fed stock In good condition
as soon as spring opens. They will
probably want good price for 1t. but.
as grass fed beef does not sell for as
much as winter fed stock fattened on
corn, IL they have much to offer II may
be the means of forcing beef prices
down little While we rejoice with
prices for their live stock than they
have received In years past. we cannot
refuse our sympathy to those who have
TO buy their meats and pay tie prices
now asked for them. We can t1ly re-
peat the advice we have given b fore,
concludes American Cultivator, that
farmers in the eastern states should
try to produce more meat, and to do
that they must grow more corn and
raise more Of their young animals to
maturity.
