Dish-Ring Invention of
The Irish Silversmiths

The dish-ring, often spoken of as
the potato-ring, was invented by the
Irish silversmiths in the last half Of
the Eighteenth and early part Of the
Nineteenth centuries. These dish
rings were ornamental stands for
circular wooden bowls, and their
use was to prevent the hot bowl
from injuring the polished mahog-
any table.
Tradition says they were used ex-
clusively for holding bowls filed
with potatoes, but it was the custom
to place them in the middle Of the
table to remain during the entire
meal. where they served as a re-
ceptacle for holding the various
dishes. The bowls were usually
made Of bog-oak and with or with
out silver rim.
Dish-rings originated in Ireland.
first coming into use in Irish homes.
No contemporary English examples
are known except the copies in Shelf
field plate, writes Alice R. Rollins in
the Los Angeles Times. The dish
ring. if we include its general use.
corresponds to the dish-cross used
in England at the same period.
which consisted of adjustable
crossed bars. The mark for beauty,
however, must 60 to the creation Of
the Irish silversmiths.
The Irish dish-rings are always
circular and from two to three and
one-quarter. inches in height and
from six and one-hah to eight inches
in diameter. They have the appear
ance of large napkin ring with a
contracted waist. Most Of them,
however. are larger on one rim than
the other, so that one ring was
adaptable to more than one sized
bowl. The genuine old Sheffield
plated copies are sometimes oval in
shape and so could be used as stands
for ovalshaped dishes. Potato-rings
are not earlier than 1740 and the
fashion declined at the beginning of
the next century.

CATTLE MARKET
LOSES GROUND
Steady 10 25c Lower for Week
Hogs Mostly Unchanged
Lambs Off Sharply

South st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 20,
1888 Strictly grain-finished steers
and yearlings continued scarce on
the local market and held about
steady, but the general trade on
slaughter kinds ranged weak to 25c
lower than the close of last week,
according to the Federal-State Mar
ket News Service. Choice steers
were quotable up to $1,000, but
actual sales stopped at $1,000. The
supply consisted mostly Of grassers
which moved within range of &c.
$4,000 and a sprinkling Of upper
medium to coed grades at $780,
so. While receipts of cattle were
again liberal, grassers predominant
ed, and around go percent of the
supply consisted of stcckers and
feeders. The replacement trade,
however, held steady. Slaughter
heifers ranged steady to 15c lower
and cows were subjected to Csc
decline. Very good western fat cows
brought $6.75, with beef cows large
ly $4.75-5.75. and low cutters and
cutters $3.50-4.5O. Vealers lost
mostly SOC with an $11.O0 top paid
only sparingly. Bulls sold weak to
Csc lower. Dairy cows arrived in
limited numbers and obtained fully
steady prices. Medium and good
springer COWS turned at $60.00-85.00,
with plain cows $35.00-50.00.
For the week to date, the hog
market has patterned itself much
along the same lines as the previous
week. After selling higher on Men,
day, the trade turned lower Tuesday
when bulge in receipts found
killers again bearing down on
practically all grades and weights.

cording to Frank Bemis, executive
secretary of the welfare board, was
$50 ,297.20, or one-sixth Of the total
cost.
Two-sixths Of the cost Of old age
assistance is shared by the state
and the federal government pays
one-half or three-sixths Of the cost.
Mr.. Bemis said that the average
case load per month in Stearns
county was 1852 persons; and the
Stearns county average was 334
persons of every 1000 citizens who
are IS years Of age or older. The
state average is 331 persons Of every
1000 who are IS years Of age or
older.
Highest average in the state is
carried by Lake of the Woods coun-
ty where 81 persons of every 1000
who are 65 years old, or older, are
receiving old age assistance. Low
est average is that Of Nicollet coun-
ty where only LAT of every 1000 ov-
er 65 years old are receiving assist
ance.
Mr.. Bemis added that the admin
istration of old age assistance In
Stearns county has assumed the
proportions Of "big business" as the
clients receive their grants by
check and spend the money in the
county.
He added that the case load in
the past six months has remained
at approximately the same level,
varying only slightly from 1852 re-
cipients to 1870 old age assistance
clients.
