ManIo 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 a ring which was
sovran against poison, a2d 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 a cheaper article Is I'M
certain. At all events, Mary based on
the ring that was an antidote to poi
son a charge of sorcery against Ruth
ven. The judges of Jeanne dare re-
garded with much suspicion her little
ring Of base metal, gift from her
parents, inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Marie.
1t was usual to touch the relics of
saints with rings. Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body OF
st. Catherine, whether she meant OF
the actual saint or relic of the saint,
brought from Sinia to Fierbois. The
ring might contain relic or later a
miniature. fear that I do not be-

rings. Our ancestors practically knew
no poison but arsenic, and Carthagin-
ian science can scarcely have enabled

in Canada something more than
mere ground for the trapper and

new France. In the accounts Of his
voyages he described with enthusiasm

timber, Its plants and its minerals, and
on these products he based prophecies

Ancient Chains,

the present acceptation of the term.

England in 1884 by a blacksmith

Bread That Intoxicates,

In far eastern Russia. in that region
which lies between the sea and the
river called Mssuri, the humidity of the
climate as well as Of the soil is re-
markable. Vegetation is here distin-
guished for its wondrous exuberance,
to such an extent that the soil never
dries up. The result is that the inhab-
itants in order to prevent putrefaction
of the roots SOW their corn upon Sc
ries Of layers of the soil. Nevertheless
in certain districts the humidity is SO
intense that there grows upon the ears
of corn kind of fungous matter made
up Of micro fungi. AS result of this
sporadic excrescence the bread made
from the corn in question gives all the
results Of an overdose of alcohol. In
very humid climates the phenomenon
is likewise known, though to nothing
like the extent Of eastern Siberia,
where whole districts are affected by
this strange kind Of "alcoholized
bread"

Shakespeare's Name.

Of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in so many different ways. Shake

his name on different occasions "Shak-

dispositions have been written to
prove which is the proper spelling.

the weather" reason given in 1851 by
Albert Smith, who averred that he had
found 1t in the Harleian manuscript.

Bows Kill Monster Snake.

AS Eddie L. Bates, of Youngstown,
twelve years old, was picking berries
on the mountain a blacksnake swung
from a low tree and twined about
the boys body. The boy foughr in
terror, but fell to the ground, and one
of the folds of the snake slipped
around his throat. The three mates
of the boy fed when the snake at
tackled him, but returned, and Eddie
Greedy, with a fence stake, attacked
the snake. The first blow missed the
snake, and, landing on the Bates
boys head, almost finished him, but
Greedy ~persevered, and with his two
companions finally beat off the black
snake, which then attacked the other
boys.
Bates, who had been more scared
than hurt, filled his lungs with air a
few. times, then grabbing a club. as
sisted his companions in their battle.
The snake was finally killed, and
when the lads dragged it triumphant
ly into Youngstown It was measured
and found to be nine feet ten inches
long. Many parties of berry pickers
have been attacked in the foothills
here by snakes.-Latrobe (Pa.) Cor
