Society interested in Rings.

There is a run on rings among the
Partisan jewelers.. Since the affair OF
the blue diamond ring belonging TO the
American Countess du Porizic society
has taken an extraordinary interest in
this form of jewelTy. and the stores
In the Rue de la Paix are doing a
thriving business.
Monsieur Jean de NIFTY. an authority
on rings. has been giving his opinion
on the wearing Of rings Dy men. He
says.
THE seal ring is the only one which
is good form for men. However, a few
exceptions may be made according to
the occasion or the character OF the per
son. For instance the Duke of Marl-
borough is sometimes seen wearing q
magnificent ruby which once belonged
20 Queen Anne Boleyn. and the sight of
this gem upon his finger In no wav
offends good taste. Count Robert de
Montesquiou has a superb topaz which
he sometimes wears. This stone was
once the property OF the Empress
Josephine
The choice Of a ring should be made
In accordance with the character Of
the hand. The form Of the hand. its
color, the temperament of the person
10 whom il belongs. must all be taken
into careful consideration when choosing
ring, and particularly one which is
adorned with n precious stone The
ring is the mOS< characteristic adoru-
ment which anyone can wear"

Gasolene Engines For Navy.

The Navy Department is taking up
the subject Of gasolene engines as a
possible means Of improving the pro-
pulsion machinery of naval craft.
Some extensive experiments recently
made by the Government show that
with gas producer and gas engine
1t is possible to increase the horse
power of naval ship to a prodigious
degree. OF course, it is another mat
ter to get the machinery which will
do this on beard of battleship. For
the present the practical experiments
will be confined to launches and the
smallest vessels Of war. Perhaps in
the course Of the next fifty years, say
the naval engineers. something will
be done toward the increase Of horse
power by the employment of the gas
producer and the gas engine, but the
development of appliances which will
serve the purpose on board the bat
tleship is still long way off. The
naval experiments, however, demon
strate that something some day will
be done in that direction.

MRS. NICKLEBY's GARDEN.
An Estate Where Dickens Laid One
of His Famous Scenes

~ # s ) 81
Many interesting associations are
linked with the Grove Hall estate, at
Bow, which is to come under the auc-'
tioneer's hammer to-day. 1t was
here that Charles Dickens laid the
scheme of the amusing love making
episodes between Mrs. Nicholas Mic
kleby and the gentleman belonging
to the house next door," Here stood
the little cottage at Bow" and the
quaint old garden in which Mrs.
Nickleby md ner daughter Kate re-
ceived the love offerings of vegetable
marrows, cucumbers and onions is
still in existence.
Until recently the estate was the
site OF the Byas' private lunatic asy-
lum. Just off the Bow road - the
high road to Chigwell, with which the
novelist was well acquainted-and
about three or four hundred yards
down Fairfield road the visitor comes
to large high brick wall. Passing
through the narrow porter's lodge,
he at once steps into an Old World
garden of quaint and singular aeau-
ty. In front of him stretches a long
avenue of plane trees, and away in
the distance are vi-tas of winding
paths and leafy lanes.
1t is strange spot, situated inthe
heart Of London's East End, spot
which few would expect to find in this
busy district At the end of the ave-
nue. and away to the left lies the old
time garden in which the eccentric
lady and her still more eccentric
lover communed in the days of long
ago. The old wall, thickly covered
With ivy and creepers, over which
the gentleman from next door" con-
versed with Mrs. Nicxleby. is still
there, much worn with age. In the
centre of the garden is large patch
si eVergreens and marigolds, while
sweet smelling jasmine perfumes the
air with it's fragrance. One can east
1y reconstruct the love scene in this
old fashioned corner and see in mag
ination the lady demurely rejecting
the proposals of the mailman s"from
next door,"
The little cottage has long since
been demolished, and on its site now
stand the remains of laundry. But
the landmarks are still left, and it
will be pity if these old associations
are allowed to be obliterated by the
march of the builder. 1t is delight
full sylvan retreat, and the many low
ers Of Dickens will hope that the
suggestion of the Dickens Fellow
ship that the authorities should Sc
cure the place as a public recreation
ground will be acted upon. The es-
tate, which is still surrounded by the
high wall Of Byas' private lunatic
asylum, comprises close upon dozen
acres 60 beautifully wooded land.
Such a spot would make an ideal
recreation ground.
The asylum itself was closed early
the present year, ind the build
fngs, with the exception of one or
two at the extreme eft of ne
grounds have been pulled down.

Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize

When the doctor himself has been
