VARIED OCCUPATIONS.

One day last fall, on the loneiest
coast on Cape Cod bay, the writer ran
across an old man living all by himself
in little shack hardly large enough
for a chicken coop. He was carefully
sewing on net and smoking a corn
cob pipe. One would think to Nook at
the situation that a month of such
solitude would land man in mad
house.
Don't you get awfully lonesome
here, Uncle Ned?" 7 asked
I.a"Who, me?" he replied, cheerfully.
"Well, should say not No, STREE. -
why, Uncle Ned, what on earth do
you do to keep you busy?"
"Who, me? Why, let me see''-mus-

HE KISSED HIS WIFE ON SUNDAY

WATERBURY Conn, October 13.-
Invoking an old blue law, by which it
is crime for a man to kiss his wife in
public on the Sabbath, Dennis Burns
was arrested at Naugatuck and spent
the night in the lookup.
Dennis and Mrs. Burns, who live in
Bridgeport, were passengers late Sun
day night in a trolley car running be-
tween that city and Waterbury. He
Rugged and kissed his wife regardless
of the other passengers, When there
were grunts and shifts of disapproval
from the shocked ones he lavished his
caresses upon Mrs. Burns more gem
erously than ever.
Appeals to the conductor and hints
from that functionary to Dennis to
modify his affections were of no avail.
He simply laughed and gave Mrs.
Burns some more kisses.

Then one of the passengers, a resi-
dent of Naugatuck and familiar with
the blue laws of that ancient town,
had the car stopped when the main
street was reached. A policeman was
summoned, and the indignant Dennis
was hustled away to the lookup.
In court yesterday Judge Hungerford
did not care to entertain the charge of
wife kissing on the Sabbath" but
poor Dennis did not escape. The mo-
dern charge of disorderly conduct was
made against him, and he was fined
enough, with the costs, to make a total
of nearly 500.
Burns justified his conduct, saying:

as l do on Saturday or Monday, and
have right to kiss her, law or no

 900 Operators Still Out.
 Lynn, Mass, Oct 12.-The shoe in dustry of this city to-day entered upon the second week of paralyzed operations as result of the strike of lasters, with no immediate pros pect of any settlement of the dis pute. It had been hoped that the conferences of last week would at least result in dissolution of the sympathetic strike, thereby returning to work the operatives in all the more than 125 factories of the city with the exception of that of Joseph Caunt & Go, where the movement of unrest and suspension of work had it's inception. Apparently no head way was made, however, and to-day. with the efforts for arbitration com- plicated to a great extent, some 15.- 900 operatives have left their bench es without any idea as to when they may return to them with the approv- al of their unions.
 Of the entire number of shoe workers who did not report as usual to-day but little more than 10 per cent are employed as lasters.

Magic and Poison Rings.


 The ring began when man thrust his finger through a hole in pretty shell and later learned to make rings of jet. The ring is very magical. Lord Ruthven, who helped to kill Riccio, gave Queen Mary ring which was sovran against poison. and she gener- ously replied with the present of her fathers wonderful jeweled dagger, of French work, no longer in existence. Whether Ruthven fooled with this magnificent weapon in the affair of Riccio or used cheaper article is un- certain. At all events, Mary based on the ring that was an antidote to poi son q charge of sorcery against Ruth ven. The judges of Jeanne. dArc re- garded with much suspicion her little ring of base metal, a gift from her parents, inscribed with the sacred names Jesus Marie.
 It was usual to touch the relics of saints with rings. J, @nne d'Arc said that her ring had tC ed the body of St. z rine, whether she meant of the actL saint or a relic of the saint. brought from Sinia to Fierbois. The ring might contain re..c or later a miniature. I fear that I do not be- lieve in the virtues or vices of poison rings. Our ancestors practically knew no poison but arsenic, and Carthagin- ian science can scarcely have enabled Hannibal to poison himself with a drug contained under the stone of . ring.-Andrew Lang.
