Magical Finger Rings.

Finger rings have played a more
important part in history than any
other ornaments. They were for
merly symbols of authority, and
subordinates were often invested
with temporary power by the loan
of the masters ring. We have ex-
amples of this in the case of Pha-
raoh, Ahasuerus and many others in
both sacred and profane history.
Rings were at one time supposed to
possess magical powers, and Plato
tells us that Gyges owned ring
that would at his pleasure render
him invisible, while from another
source we learn of the wonderful
ring with which Solomon sealed the
jars in which the disobedient jinne
were immured before being dropped
into the sea.

one day in Cincinnati paired with
the young champion in mixed dou,

didn't disappoint myself, 70 tell
the truth, i played pretty badly.
But Miss Sutton did unusually well,
and politeness obliged me to shower
a continuous stream of compliments
on her. At critical point she
saved a game with remarkable
back hand stroke, and l shouted; :;
Bravo! Beautiful! Well played

Evolution of Eloweroots.

When you buy potted plant from
a fashionable florist nowadays he
does not send it home in the ordi-
nary red clay pot such as has been
in use from time out of mind, says
q New York paper. The plant is
delivered in receptacle of the con-
ventional shape, but it is covered
with fine straw, bound around with
ratlia that is either painted soft
green or dull shade of red. These
bindings are fashioned in some
pleasing design and are varnished,
50 that the whole thing is ready to
stand as an ornament just as it is.
These plants may come high, but
there is one economy in buying
the1n-you do not have to purchase
q lardiniere to put them in.

Bananas, Ananas.

In 1865 is to be found the earliest
reference to the banana. 1t is in
Captain Iaudonniere's second "Voy-
age Unto Florida" in that year and
the year following. Here is the
passage, and it will be observed the
word is spelled "ananas:" "Do-
minica is one of the fayrest islands
of the west, full of hills and of very
good smell. Whose singularities de-
string to know as we passed and
seeking also to refresh ourselves
with fresh water, l made the mari
ners cast anker after we had sayled
about halle along the coast thereof.
As soon as we had cast anker two
Indians Inhabitants of that place.
sayled toward us in two canoes full
of a. fruite Of great EXCELLENCE,
which they called ananas."

His Novel Security.

The other day big Otoe Indian,
followed by his squaw, came trip
ping into the First National bank
and asked to borrow $15 to hqui-
date some indebtedness that he had
contracted while in town. The
businesslike cashier asked what Sc
curity he could furnish in order to
secure the desired loan. Poor Lo
threw up his head and studied few
moments, then said, "Leave squaw
here till l come back and pay" The
cashier and officers present were
very much amused at the Indians
novel method of securing loan.
However, matters were arranged so
that he and his dusky helpmeet
could go to their home, with the
understanding that he return and
settle his indebtedness later.-Perry

On. Fifty. milIionth Of an Inch.

In recent science nothing is more
remarkable than the refinement
which has been made in instru-
mental measurements. DR.. P. E.
Shaw recently explained to the
Royal society an electrical microme-
ter which, it is >tcd, can be made
to measure the lwo-millionth OF a
millimeter, or the tifty-millionth of
an inch. This measurement, the
smallest ever yet made, was in con-
nection with the movements of a
telephone diaphragm: The prob
lem was to find what movement of
the diaphragm produces a sound
which is only just audible. The
measurement was effected by means
of an electric current connected
with the micrometer and telephone.

A eILBERrIAN SITUATION.

What the Melbourne (AustraliA)
papers call a Gilbertian situation
was ' recently created in that city by
the telephone girls OF the central
exchange. They suspended all tele.
phone work in the busiest hour OF
the day in order to have themselves
photographed in q group. They
were allowed five minutes for the
purpose by the head of the depart
ment, but the operation lasted for
nearly half an hour, during which
numerous fussy subscribers were
ringing up" in vain. The metro
politan fire brigade, failing to get
ally response, dashed at full speed
to the exchange and retired disgust
ed on learning the true state OF at
fairs. The Melbourne papers are
flooded with letters calling for the
abolition of the lady telephonist. A
board is inquiring into the incl
dent.

Pie a a Crime,

Really these food reformers seem
bent upon taking all the joy out Of
life, at least that part of life spent
at the table. Not only do they want
to take away everything that has the
slightest SAVIOR to it and substitute
stuff that would make horse quit
its nose bag, but they also desire
to prescribe time and quantity. An
eminent food reformer, writing to a
New York paper, pleads, "Let us
teach that an attack of biliousness
is as disgraceful and unnecessary as
an attack Of drunkenness" Isn't
that the limit? Imagine a man be-
ing sentenced to the workhouse for
overindulgence in pie! Kansas

King Edward. Bad Bargain.

When King Edward agreed to
place the hereditary revenues of the
crown at the disposal of the nation
he made a bad bargain. Instead of
the revenues he agreed to accept a
clear yearly sum Of $2,350,0OO, and
the nation is making a profit on the
bargain. 1t amounted to $112,50O
last year and is increasing. Among
the properties assigned by the king
were considerable portions of the
west end. Rents have risen great
ly. One instance is the Carlton ho-
tel, for which the ground rent was
only $3,815 per annum, but which
is now $21, 900.

Mixed Acting In China.

Says the Peking Times: "The
gentry in Tientsin have petitioned
the authorities to prohibit mixed
acting at the theaters and also mix
ed audiences and that separate thea
ters be provided for female actors
and also for female audiences. This
is because since mixed acting came
into vogue the poorer classes have
been educating their girls for the
stage instead of marrying them, as
they can make money through them.
The Iientsin magistrate has issued
a proclamation embodying the above
petition"
