RINGS OF ANCIENT TIMES.
Greek Dandies Had One for Each
Week-The Iron Rings
of Rome.

The antiquity of rings is known
from Scripture. When Pharaoh COM
mitted the government of all Egypt to
Joseph he took his ring from his fin
ger and gave it to him, as a mark
OF power, relates the Mirror.
The Israelitish women wore rings,
not only on their fingers, but also in
their nostrils and ears. The ancient
Chaldeans, Babylonians, Persians and
Greeks had likewise the use of the
ring. Alexander sealed the letters he
wrote into Europe with his own seal,
and those in Asia with Darius ring.
The Greeks, Pliny thinks, knew
nothing of the ring in the time of
the Trojan war. The reason he gives
is that we find no mention of it in
Homer, but that when letters, etc.,
were to be sent away, they were tied
up, and the strings knotted.
The Sabines had rings in Romulus'
time, and it is from them, probably,
the practice first came to the Greeks,
and from them it passed to the Ro-
mans, who were contented with iron
rings long time; Marius first wore
a gold one in his third consulate,
which was in the year of Rome $50.
They were at first worn on the
fourth finger, then ON the second
then on the little finger, and at last
on all the fingers except the middle
one.
The foppery of wearing rings
among the Greeks at length rose to
that pitch that they had their weekly
rings, and Heliogabalus, who was the
dandy of his age, never wore the same
ring twice.
Lord Chancellor Hatton sent to
Queen Elizabeth a ring, against infec-
tions, to be worn in the bosom. Grave
persons, such as aldermen, used a
plain broad gold ring upon their
thumb

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive DREAMS,

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, feeling OF utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs. so that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street,
Horton, Kansas, says: Gin 1897, while
we were living on farm in this neigh
borhood, I became generally debilitated

Indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered

fetal means had to be used to restore it.
After suffering for months without find

q newspaper. The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box I felt entirely well.

not act on the bowels. They make new

this way they carry health and vigor to

about him the other day to member Of
