ITALIANS
REVENGE

The affairs OF Giuseppi Cont. one Of

He was adjudged guilty and Judge
Rueckert ordered him to make a weekly
contribution for the maintenance OF the
little one.
Cont who had been living with the
complainant several years, was paying
attention to another woman. whom he
married about the time that warrant was
issued

Rings of Ancient Times.

The antiquity of rings is known
from Scripture. When Pharaoh
committed the government of all
Egypt to Joseph he took his ring
from his finger and gave it to him
as a mark of power.
TheIsraelitish women wore rings,
not only on their fingers, but also
in their nostrils and ears. The an
cient Chaldeans, Babylonians, Per
slams 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 wien letters,
etc, were to be sent away, they
