Munro Hams» 800.000 FINGER RINGS The woman who omlessly toys with the seminal bands upon her fingers today, delighting only in? glitter of the faceted stones, or th fairness their color imparts to her hands, is, perhaps totally ignorant of the import- ant place rings have health!) small and great affairs trom time to time since civilization began. " And he sealed it with his son] " doesl not now mean the impression made: with a peculiar and personal rintt--) something not transferrable, held sac- red and individual, but a mechanical die, worked with a lever, and second- ary to many considerations in' import- ance. Not so were the seal rings of bygone ages. The signet oh the King, the Pope or any great dignitary was guarded carefully, its impression ‘car- rying all the weight of personal com- mand, and regarded as quite infallible, The use of signs“. rings as symbols of great respect and authority is men- tianed in several parts of the Scrip- turee. from which it would seem that they were then common among per- sons of rank. In Genesis we find that Joseph had conferred upon him. the my. al signet as an insignia of authority. Thus, Abrasuerus transferred his au- thority to Eamon. The ring was also used as a pledge for thd performance of a promise. Darius sealed with his ring the mouth of the den of lions. Queen Jezebel, to destroy Naboth. made use of tho ring of Ahab, King of the Israelites, her husband. to seal the counterfeit letters ordering the death of that unfortunate man. The earliest materials of which rings were made was of pure gold, the metal usually very thin. The Israelitish peo- ple wore not only rings on their fin- gers, but also in their nostrils and ears. Apropos of this custom. reaching ,down to a later date, Mr. Layard, in .. Nine- veh and Ita Remains." describes the wife of an Arab sheikh whom he met, as having a nose adorned with a pro- digiuua gold ring, set with J.ewela of such ample dimensions that. It cover- ed her mouth, and she was obliged to remove it when she ate. _ We are not to assume, however, that all ancient seals, being signets, were rings intended to be Worn on the hand. "One of the largest Egyptian signers I have seen,†remarks Sir J. G. Wilk- inson, "was in the possession of a French gentleman of Cairo. It con- tained £20, $100 worth of gold. It consisted of a massive ring, half an inch in its largest diameter, bearing an oblong plinth, on which the de- vices were engraved. On one side was the name of a king, the successor of Amuneph HI., who lived about 1400 years before Christ; on the other a lion, with the legend, " Lord of Strength,' referring to the monarch; on one aide a scorpion, and on the oth- er a crocodile. This ring passed, into the Waterton Dactyliotheca, and is now the property M the South Ken- aingtom Museum. t , Kings of inferior metal, engraved with the Kinit'a name. may probably have been Worn by official. of the court. _ In Rome every freedman had the right to no the iron 'girtg, but the use of a gold ring was restricted, for many yearn to persons of dignity, or those who-e wealth exceeded certain sums. In the course of timeuit became cus- tomary for all the Senators,.'chief ma- gistrates. and the equites to wear a gold seal ring. This practice, which was subsequently termed the jus an- nuli urei, or the jus annulorom, re- mained for several centuries an Rome, their exculsive privilege, while others continued to wear the iron ring. i In the South Kemington Museum ls {a massive and heavy brass ring, with ‘octagonal bezel armed with five pro- -jecting points, used as a weapon hr peasants in Upper Bavaria. from tho year 1700 to the present time. In In- dia the preferred ring has a large llr-riated face. spreading over three fin- gers like a shield. When made for the wealthy, in massive gold. the flower leaves are of cut jewels, but the hum- bler classes, who equally love display, ‘are content with theirs in cast silver. Arabian princesses wore golden rings iou their fingers, to which little bells ' were suspended, as well as in the flow- The keeping of the imperial ring, cum annuli, was confided to a state- keeper, as the great seat of England is placed in custody of 'the Lord Chan- cellor. With the increasing love of luxury and show, the Greeks, as, well as the Romans. covered their fingers with rings. and some wore different sizes for summer and winter, immoderate both in number and size. Demosthenes wore many rings, and be was stigma- tized as unbecomingly vain for do- ing so in the troubled times of the state. Rings were given in Anglo-Saxon times to propitiate royal favors. Thus, toward the end of the, tenth century, Beorhtric. a wealthy noble in Kent, left in his will a ring worth thirty manvuses of gold that the Queen might be his advocate that the will should stand. In many of the Roman keys that that have been discovered the ring was actually worn on the finger. The shank disappears, and the wards were at right angles to the ring, or in the di- Ionian of the length of the finger, In the earlier history of Ireland we find instances of a wonderful develop- ment of artistic skill in goldsmith work. Queen Elizabeth had an immoderate love tor jewelry, and the description given of her dresses covered with gems of the greatest rarity and beauty reads like a romance. For finger rings she hill a remarkable fondness. The same custom of wearing many rings long prevailed in France..Mercier, in his "Tableau de France," mentions that at the close of the eighteenth century enormous rings were worn. He adds that " the nuptial ring ia now unno- ticed on the fingers of women; wide and profane rings altogether conceal this warrant of their faith." So im- portant a business was the making. of rings that it was separated. from the ordinary work ot the goldamith and bemme a distinct trade. - tftqarATqf witnesses of their hair, that their BU- parlor rank might be known and that they might receive, in mains. the homage duet to .thtrn.. t . ' limo “In IV ens-aus- A ring of old Venice work is net with three stones in raised bezels; to their bases are Ufixed by a swivel gold pendant armaments, each set with a garnet. As the band moves these men- dants tall about the fingers, like stones ttlittering in the movement. Thingam- ion was evidently borrowed from the East, where people delight in, pendant ornaments, and even affix them‘lto ar- ticles of utility. In the collections of antiquariee are numerous specimens of thumb rings; signet rings of this kind were worn by rich citizens; or persons of sub- stance not entitled to bear arms. Fal- staff bragged that in his earlier days he had been so slender in figure that he could readily have crept through an "alderman’s thumb ring.' In Lar borte‘s " Baud-Book of the Fine Arts in the Middle Ages" is a representa- tion of a fine thumb ring of Hindoo workmanship cut out of a single piece ot jade, decorated with gold filagree, and incrusted with rubies. At one time m England the wedding rring was worn on the thumb. Orientals wore a large ring on the thumb made of cor- nelian, ehaleodong and agate, with Itw sends in Arabic on the face, for the use of signets. They are used on the thumb to help in drawing the bow- atrirtg, which the Orientals pull with the bent thumb, catching it against the shank of the ring, and not with the first two fingers, as is the practice of English archers. A truly wonderful ring was given to an envoy of the German, Emperor by the Great Mogul, and is the only one of its kind ever seen In Christendom. Says the Rev. C. w. King: " The very first sight of this jewel sufficed to convince one that it could have had no other origin than this, such ashow, of barbarian splendor did it exhibit, forming in itself a complete cabinet of every kind of precious stone, of color to be found in hie dominions. Its form was that of a wheel, about 1'3 inches in diameter, composed of several concen- tric circles, joined together by the spokes radiating from the center. in which was set a large, round ,sapphire. The spokes were gemmed; in' fact, ev- ery Stone of value, except the diamond, occurred in this glorious company» On the back was fixed the shank and when worn it covered the whole hand like Some huge mushroom." The great potentate, Charlemagne, we are told by old French writers, was in his youth desperately in love with a young and beautiful woman, and gave himself up to pleasure in her soci- ety, neglecting the affairs of state. she died and Charles was inconsolable at her loss. The Archbishop of Cologne endeavored to withdraw him from her dead Indy. and at length, approaching the corpse, took from its mouth a ring in which was set a precious stone of remarkable beauty. It was the talis- man which had charmed the monarch, whose passionate grief became now immediately subdued. The body was buried and the Archbishop, fearing Jest Charles might experience a similar ma- gical effect, threw it into the lake near Aix-la-Chapelle. The virtue of this marvelous ring was not, however; lost A mysterious significance has been associated with rings from the earliest periods among various nations. They were supposed to protect from evil fas- cinations of every kind, against the "evil eye," the influence of demons. and dangers of every possible charae- ter; though It was not in the rings themselves that the supposed virtues existed, but in the materials of which they were composed, in some particu- lar precious stone set in them, acharm or talisman, or some device or inscrip- tion on the stone, or some magical let- ter engraved on the circumference of the ring. The early Hebrews associated grave powers to certain rings, and the sig- net ring of Solomon is credited with miraculous powers. From Asia legends connected with rings were introduced into Greece, and numberless magic powers were as- cribed to them. by thin incident, for the legend re- lates that the monarch became so en- amored of the lake that his chief de- light was in walking by its margin, and he became so much attached to the spot that he had a palace erected there and made it the neat. of his em- plre. The employment of rings for crim- inal purposes was common in past ages and even in late Rimes. Hannibal, we are told, from n fear of being de- livered up to the Romans, swallowed poison, which, to be prepared for the worst, he carried with him in the hoi- low of a ring. Demosthenes is also said to have died in a similar man- ner. Then hollow rings were put together with a degree of skill far. beyond that of modern jewelers. Sometimes the poison was concealed beneath the stone, which opened with a spring. It requir- ed but a small space for the virulent poisons which were concocted by Ital- ian chemists in the sixteenth, and sev- enteenth centuries. The signet ring of Caesar Borgia was exhibited a few years ago. It is of gold, slightly enameled, wiih‘the date gold, slightly enameled, Will] we unto 1503, and has a motto around the in- side. A brat dropped into the front, having on it "Borgia," in leliera re- versed. At the back is a slide, within which, it is related, he carried the poi- am} hi, was in the habit or dropping into the wine of his unsuspecting smears. _ _ A singular story of a poisoned ring appeared in the French newspapers a few years ago, to the effect that a gentleman who had purchased some ob- jects of art at a shop in the Rue St.‘ Honore, was examining an ancient ring,! when he gave himself a slight scratch' in the hand with a sharp part of it. He continued talking to the dealer ashort time. when he suddenly felt an indes- cribable sensation over his whole body, which appeared to paralyze his facul- ties, and he became so seriously ill that a doctor was quickly summoned. He applied strong antidotes, and in a short time the gentleman, was, in a measure, recovered. The ring in ques- tion, having been examined by the medical man, who had long resided in Venice, was found to be-what was tor- merly called a "death ring," in use by Italians. when acts of poisoning were frequent about the middle of the seventeenth century. Attached to it in- side were two claws of a lion made of the sharpest steels, and havintte1eftts in than filled with a moot virulent poi- TORONTO given _to Ion.

Notwithstanding the many years since which the poison had been placed there, it retained its strength sufficiently to cause great in- GT'""'" to the gentleman, assist- In Spain the gift of a ring is looked upon as a promise of marriage, and is considered sufficient proof to enable a maiden to claim her huband. The wed- ding rings of the Romans were gen- erally of iron, called " pronutrtun,"ytP- bolical of the lasting character of the engagement, and probably springing out of another Roman custom, the giv- ing of a ring as earnest, upon the conclusion of a bargain. The ring was used in marriage am- ong Christians as early as 860. Prom- bal or pledge rings passed between the contracting parties among the Romans. When the marriage settlement had been properly sealed. rings, bearing the names of the newly married couple, were handed around to the guests. In. JMRMI'I Experience With the Cub of s Pal" Bent. The care of babies is never a sine- cure, as many of our readers can tes- tify, and the ordinary difficulties of the case sometimes assume extraordi- nary proportions. An English lady in India was recent- ly worried about the failing health of her inatnt. The miik was suspected, and the doctor ordered that the child be fed assea' milk. The lady spoke to a native officer of the district, and re- ceiving a satisfactory reply, drove with a man-servant to the station where the ass was to be waiting. To her amazement, there, tied to a post, all ready to be milked, stood a huge she bear. It seems that in the native dialect, the words ass and bear are so nearly alike as to be scarcely distinguishable in the mouth of a European. A variation of the milk problem was presented to Mr. F. G. Jackson. the Arctic explorer. when he found and adopted the infant cub of a polar bear. There seemed no way to feed the poor little beast until Mr. Jackson hit upon the following ingenious method. Taking a bit of sponge, he covered it with chamois leather and fastened it to a rubber tube which had pre- viously been inserted in a bottle. Fix- ed to the cork of this bottle was a piece of glass tubing through which air might be blown to make the milk run freely. __ . THE BAKING DOCTOR of the Blythswood. 'Money began to pour out over the green cloth like the rushing torrents over the craze of his native Trossachs. He began to lose this tine mane of deep brown .nair, his tseli-eoe1tented rotundity, and in- somnia became the demon of his dark- er hours. Remorse was written in blood red letters over the taco ot Barth and heaven, and even in the glances pf his trusting fellow creatures whose money was going over to the bank un- der the croupier's diabolical little rake-the bank that pays no interest on deposits nor honors drafts at sight -.eFen ttl their honest faces he saw the look of suspicion. and it madden- ed him.

Sti The cub took to the bottle like any other baby, and sucked away in most ravenous fashion, with a contented look upon her face, as if the last of her troubles were ended. For a time the Doctor paid interest on bonds and securities that had no exitsteace-paid it to investors out of their own principal; but that make- shift did not last long. His mind weakened under the terrible strain Then the financier was taken to a we treat at Gannavel to recuperate. The insane optimism of the gambler was upon han. From a sober. conserv- ative, pious, reticent Scotchman.,whose integrity was iron, and whose heart was gold, Dr. Colquhoun changed to a genius of the gambling hell, a losing gamester, who sacrifices honor, home, family, and the main stays of those near and dear, as well as confiding in- Vestors by the hundred, and great was the tall thereof.

And in it all the child takes his part, and his elders are very kind to him, and never bother him with cleaning up or putting on clothes to go out. He strips to the waist or be- yond it in summer; then, as the win.. ter comes on, puts on another and an- other garment, till he becomes as broad as he is long. At night time, perhaps. he takes off some clothes, but they are all the some shape, all quite loose and easy.
