wishrino a yonng farnier who was very nnlncky sat on his plowja moment to rest and jost then an old woman crept past and cried why do yon go oh drudging day and night without inward walk two days till you come to a fir tree that stands ail alone in the forest and overtoga all other trees if you can hew it down yon will make your fortune not waiting to have the adfioe repeated the farmer shoolderedhis axe and started on his journey sore enough after tramp ing two days be came to the fir tree which he instantly prepared to ut down just as the tree swayed and before it fell with a crash tnerfl dropped out of its branches a nest containing two eggs- the eggs roll ed to the ground and troke end there dart ed ont of one a young eagle and ont of the other rolled a gold ring the eagle grew larger as if to try their strength then soaring upward it cried you have res- cued me tal e as a reward the ring that lay in the otier egg it is a wishring turn it on yoi lt finger twice and whatever your wish is ii shall be fulfilled but re member then is but a single wish in the ting hp opener is that granted than it loses its power and is only an ordinary ring therefore consider well what yon desire bo tint iyon may never hare reason to repent yom jhoice so speaking the eagle soared i igh in the air circled over the fanners head a few times then darted like an arrow toward the easj the farmer tooktheriag plaoediton his finger and turafed on his way home ward towardetenw he reached a town where a jewe ler aat in his ahopbahind a counter oh w lioh lay inany costly rings for sale- the f imer ihowed his own and asked the me rehantiu value- it isnt nth a ftraj the jeweller answered upon that tbe farmer langbed heartily ahd told tb man tbatitwa a wishring andofgreaw rvalnth rings in ttojiojogi fljerij i the jcnm swsw iiiliijuibsa man so he invited tbe farmer to remain as his guest over night for he ex plained only tc shelter a mas who owns a wishring must bring luck bo he treated his guest ii wine ahd fair words and that night as the farmer lay sound asleep the wicked man stole the magic ring from his finger and alippen on in its place a common one which be bad made to resemble tbe wishring the next morning the jeweller was all impatience to have the farmer begone he awakened him at cockcrow and said you had better go for you still have a long journey before you as soon as the farmer had departed the jeweller closed his shop put np the shut- ters so that no one could peep in bolted the door behind biro aud standing in the middle of the room he the ringand cried i wish instantly to possess a mil lion gold pieces 1 mo sooner said than tbe great shining gold pieces came pouring down npon him in a golden torrent over his head shoulders and arms pitifully he cried for mercy and tried to reach and unbar the door but before he succeeded he stnmbled and fell bleeding to the ground at for tbe golden rain it never stopped till the weight of the metal crashed the floor and tbe jeweller and his money sank through to the cellar the gold still poured down till tbe million was complete and the jeweller lay dead in tbe cellar beneath his treasure tbe noise however alarmed the neigh bors who came rushing over to see what was tbe matter when they saw the man dead under his gold they exclaimed doubly unfortunate he whom blessings kill afterward the heirs came and di vided the property in the meantime the farmer reached home in high spirits and showed the ring to bis wife the farmers wife of course proffered advice suppose said she that we wish for that bit of land that lies between onr two fields r that isnt worth while her husband replied if we work hard for a year well earn enough money to buy it so the two worked very hard and at harvest time they had never raised such a crop before they had earned money enough to buy the coveted strip of land and still have a bit to spare see baid the man we have the land and the wish as well the farmers wife then suggested that they had better wish for a cow and a horse but the man replied wife why waste onr wish on such trifles the horse and cow well get anyway sure enough in a years time the money for tbe horse and cow had been earned joyfully the man rubbed his hands tbe wish is saved again this year and yet we have what we desire how lucky we are but now his wife seriously adjured him to wish for something at last now that you have a wish to be granted she said you slave and toil and are content with everything you might be king emperor baroii even a gentleman farmer with chests overflowing with gold bat yon dont know what you want we are yonng anolife is long he answered there is only one wish in the ring and that is easily said who knows but sometime wo may sorely need this wish are we in want of anything have we not prospered to all peoples astonish ment since we possessed this ring be reasonable and patient for awhile in the meantime consider what we really ought to wish for and that was the end of the matter it really seemed as if the ring had brought a blessing into the house gran aries and bams were full to overflowing and in the course of a few years the poor farmer became o rich and portly person who worked with his men afield during the day as if he too had to earn his daily bread bat after supper be liked to sit in his porch contented and comfortable and return tbe kindly greeting of the folk who passed and who wished him a respectful goodevening so the years went by sometimes when they were alone the farmers wife would remind her husband of the magic ring and suggest many plana but as he always answered that they had plenty of time and that the best thoughts come last she more and more rarely mentioned the ting and at lasf tbe good woman ceased speaking of i altogether to be snrei ie farmer looked at the ring and twirled it about aa many as twenty times a day but he wae very careful never to wish after thirty or forty yean bad passed away and tbe farmer and his wife had grown old and whitehaired and their wish wastill umaaked then was god very good to them and on the same night they died peacefully and happily weeping

photographs on curtains tidies and handkerchiefs when once the fashion now possible sets in the work can be washed aud boiled and will not come out the fact that photo graphs can be printed on linen and like textures was made manifest some time ago and accounts were published of a dinner given in honor of henry irving in london whereat napkins were used on which was photographed a portrait of tbe eminent actor this application of the art might lead to the production of some beautiful designs from nature for dress goods and other articles especially if a process should ever be devised for the representation of colors by means of photography r fear as an ally of disease while tbe plague was raging in bnenos ayres- the grave diggers bore charmed lives of the soomen so employed not one died of the disease it has often been noticed that duriog the prevalence of pestilential diseases physicians undertakers nurses and grave diggers whose business compelled constant liability to infection have usually escaped in far greater ratio than their numbers would warrant the charm of this immunity from the prevailing scourge u very simple they are not scared they are positive to the disease and repel its at tacks fear is a great ally of death whoever is afraid of disease is in a nega tive position and really invites its ap- preach and thus it is the world over the brave died but once while
