MAYFL0WER TEAPOTS.
4 Warning That May Prove Of Value
to Relic Hunters.

IL may be trusted that no lineal de-
scendent Of the pilgrims would and
no other person foolishly should ever
claim to have or TO have seen a teapot
that had come over on the Mayfiower.
Whatever other articles In whatever
number may be treasured as parts of
the sacred cargo that was landed at
Plymouth rock In 1920, relic hunters
may rest In the assurance that no rival
owns a teapot Of MayHower descent.
The explanation is simple. When the
Mayhower sailed for America an ounce
Of tea was rare enough TO have made
up fitting gift for royalty. Yet forty
years later the wealthy and fashion.
able people Of England were fairly ia.
miliar with tea which the East India
company had first brought into the
country, and four years later ii was
on sale In the coffee houses, at which
time pound might be purchased fol
the moderate sum of 60 shillings.
Only twenty-five years later tea was
on sale in Boston, and soon after there
were two tea houses besides those kept
by Daniel Vernon and Benjamin Har-
ris. In the first decade Of the eight
eenth century it could be bought from
Zabdill Bolton at his apothecary shop
Today the coffee houses of a hundred
years ago in London are in reality tea
houses. In England were made the
first teapots of pottery. Later the
most delicate creations in porcelain ap-
peared, but as tea became popular the
art of the teapot maker was less ex-
clusively refined.-Boston Globe.

MEPHISTO'S RING.
A Jewel That Bears q Deadly Reputa-
ton In Spain,


II seems strange to read In these
days Of ring which is believed to
have an evil influence over It's owner
and which Is known as "Mephisto's
ring"
Yet such ring exists and until re-
cent years was In possession Of the
Spanish royal family. The ring Is set
with a very large emerald, In the cen
ter Of which Is inserted ruby.
IL Is first heard Of in the sixteenth
century, since when the kings who
owned II have suffered disasters unlim-
tied, while the whole country has grad
ually sunk from It's former eminent po
sition.
When the late Hlspano- american
war broke out the ring was presented
to church. The sacred building short
ly after was destroyed by fire.
The next resting place Of the ring
was museum. which was twice
struck by lightning while holding the
III omened jewel.
The fatal ring has now, II Is said.
been packed In strong box and Sc
curely buried. It remains to be seen
whether this will finally put an end
to its mystic" power. - Pearson's

DARING BELL RINGERS.
Franks Of the Athletic Young Span
iards of Seville.

iards Of Seville.
There Is q curious custom among the
young Spaniards Of the city of Seville.
On certain fete days, related a tourist,
the young men of the place have per-
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers of the cathedral. They have an
ingenious and original way of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb up on to
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging to and fro. We
may imagine what an uproar Is pro-
duced when all the bells of a cathedral
are being treated In this manner. Any
man who Is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration of the ringing de-
pends upon the caprice or the strength
and patience Of the ringers.
The spectacle Is very strange of the
great bells swinging, with one, two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
In any attitude which seems to them
best adapted to pushing out the most
noise. In the Giralda, at Seville, the
first time | witnessed this, the clamor
was frightful. When | looked up ]
thought at first some unfortunate was
entangled In the bell rope, but | soon
found it was matter of sport An
other ringer appeared suspended In the
air, holding the bell by the ears or the
rim or the wooden framework and fol-
lowing 1t I'm all its movements some
times feet, sometimes head, downward.

OUR FIRST PATENT.
Granted at Boston In 1648 and Was
Called a Monopoly.

To the general court of Massachu-
setts belongs the honor of granting
the first American patent. This was
in 1G4S and was then designated as a
monopoly. 1t was confined to the re-
gion controlled by Massachusetts, and
the one issue apparently included oil
the invention Of the inventor connect
ed with engines that depended upon
water for their motive power The
limit Of the monopoly was fourteen
years, and the court not only retained
power to forbid expectation, bat to
prevent exorbitant charges upon the
public for their use The patent was
Issued In this form:
"Jenkes Monopolye.-At general

This inventor, Joseph Jenkes, or
jerks, as 1t would now be spelled,
came from Hammersmith, England,
settled in Lynn I'm 1643 and died In
1923, aged eighty-one. He was a
blacksmith and machlnist, made the
dies for the coming of the "Pine
Tree" money and built the first fire
engine in this country, altogether a
man Of great inventive genius and the
ancestor Of large number of descend
ants. One OF his sons removed to

FINANCING CAMP AIaNs.

There is an interesting connection be-
tween campaign fund sources and party
policies that should be considered in
any contemplation of the novel sugges-
ton of the president that congress ap-
propriate money for the "great politi-
cal parties campaigns" This eonnec-
ton has had intimate relations with the
republican policies of civil service re-
form and a protective tariff. 1t had
relations, though less intimate, with the
Democratic national campaign for free
silver. And as to the tariff, it has i'm.
mensely augmented the funds of the
Republican national and congressional
campaign committees.
Prior to 1888 the great source of cam.
paign funds for all parties in power,
was the federal patronage. The larger
part of this consisted in using the civil
list with which to pay for the work
done by party henchmen, utterly re-
gardlcss of their fitness for the place
or capacity to do the work. Here the
public were indirectly levied upon to
furnish the funds with which to pay for
campaign expenses. When that act was
in effect and workers could no longer
be rewarded by salaried positions the
politicians resorted to assessments on
offieeholders,. practice that led to the
law prohibiting it and which party man
ayers have often successfully evaded
Only few years ago Judge Baker, OF
the Seventh judicial circuit of the fed
eral courts, was accused of advising an
employe to contribute with an intima
ton that his tenure depended on it..
simultaneously with that act came
the marked change N the attitude of
the Republican party towards the tariff.
Prior to 1888 the tendency was to re-
turn to revenue basis. Garfield had
declared that he was for protection that
led to free trade. In 1886 western state
committees, whose platforms had lean.
ed toward revenue tariff, were notified
by the national committee that the can
didates and speakers must be silent
on that question because it opposed the
national party's policy.
