The Ridiculous in Poetry.

It is the custom of the American
Journalist, who respects nothing and
invents little but his facts, to enliven
his pages about this time of the year
with ridicule of ''the spring poet
Poetry seems to the transatlantic
newspaper mind especially ridiculous.
And, indeed, there is something pa.
thetically oldfashioned in the bard
sitting down to string rhymes together
on the fact that for nobody knows
how many thousandth time the days
have grown warmer and longer, and
the leaves come out and the flowers
peeped in the hedges and over, the
meadows. Besides, when the spring
poetry appears in a monthly magazine
readers will remember that it was
probably written during the autumn
of the year before last. That is about
the time thatsthe wine of poesy takes
to filter through the editorial strain

A NEW DEVICE TO GUARD A RING.
Adjustable Holder to Be Used When
Finger Loses Flesh.

ringer Loses fleSn.
There are various causes for
changes in the size OF the fingers.
which simply means the loss of flesh
between the joints, but it is seldom
that the joints themselves change,
except to increase in size. For this
reason the person whose fingers have
grown thin from sickness or other
causes finds that if a ring Is cut down
to fit snugly where 1t is customarily
worn there is trouble in getting it
over the joint. There is an easier
way out Of the difficulty than having
the ring cut down, and one which per-
nlits the ring to be worn as usual
should the flesh return to the hand
again.
There has been invented spring
device to be inserted in the ring which
has the effect of decreasing the dame
ter, and at the same time drawing the
ring down against the upper side of
the finger. This gives the appearance
of q tightly fitting ring, while in
reality there may be Va considerable
space on the upper side; but no mat
ter how loose the ring was before the
insertion of this spring, it is now held
firmly in place and there is no danger
of its slipping from the finger. Should
/ 1t be difficult to pass the ring over
the Joint with the spring in place the
latter can be slipped out before the
L ring Is taken Off. VI

DEATHS FOLLOW DOGS HOWL.

Tom Sawyer's Theory indicated by
Strange Occurrences in Maine.
A black dog whose owner is I'M
known has been bowling for two
weeks around Elm street, Saco. He
sits in front of a house with his head
turned skyward and keeps up a con-
tinual unearthly howl, which can be
heard within radius Of quarter of
mile
There have been an unusual num-
Der of deaths in this neighborhood
recently, and it is claimed that this
dog has howled in advance in front
of every house in which a death has
occurred. The superstition has held
good in six instances, and Saturday
the dog was dividing his time between
two houses in which there is sickness,
bowling for while before one of
them and then taking his station be-
fore the other. Some people in the
neighborhood are a good deal worked
up about it.
Nobody has been able to get near
enough to the dog to get a shot at
him, and when driven off he soon
returns. The superstition is as old as
the hills. 1t is claimed that within a
radius of 200 yards from central
point in that neighborhood twelve
deaths have occurred within less than
that number OF months. Bangor
