He Can Do it.
According to Lillian Russell, she has
gone into the matrimonial ring several
times too often, and has had enough.
1 his relieves Editor Bodemeyer of all
occasion to cast his matrimonially in-
clined eyes in that direction. Still if
any one could win the fair Lillian from
her harsh and hasty resolve, “our
John” is the man who can do it.

TheSuffering Poor.
Persons who have had furnace regis-
ters and snapping grate fires to sit by
for the past week little imagine the
sufferings of the poor homeless men
who have applied nightly to the police
for some place to crawl into out of the
freezing Artic blasts. They received
trifling help from several of our citizens
and we have thus far escaped the dis-
grace of having a human being found
frozen to death for the want of, shelter.
We have in our midst plenty of humane
citizens who will gladly furnish the nec-
essary coal provided a place can be SL‘
cured in which to put these homeless,
half starved beings who are out of work
213:6: out 01 money. This being the case,
why cannot our city authorities secure
some place where they can be kept over
night out of the chilling blasts that are
sweeping the streets?
As far as the town is concerned the
citizens are powerless at present owrng
to the action of one of its officials. But
on Monday afternoon next the people
will have a chance to attend the town
meeting and express their opinion of
what should be done and what they
desire done in the matter ofsheltering
the poor, and it is hoped that our chari-
table citizens will be present in force
and express themselves freely.

FINGER RINGS. “ ~.'
During the 14th century, in France
and Spain; giftsof valuable. rings to
statues of. the saints and Virgin Mary
‘were very ,common. One statue in Bar-
celona is said to have worn rings valued
at $100,000; , ' ‘ ~
Pilgrim rings were formerly sold at
every noted shrine in Christendom.
They were purchased by pilgrims pre-
paring to return home, and were regard-
ed as evidence that the pilgrimage had
been really performed. .
The coronation ring of Great Britain
is of gold, with a. large and very valu-
'able ruby setting. During the corona,-
tion ceremonies it is placed on the
fourth finger of the sovereign by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. »
According to the traditions of the
early church, Joseph and Mary were
espoused with an amethyst ring. This,
by some persons, is supposed to be the
reason wh y Episcopal rings were often
1 set wit-lithe same stone.
Mithridates, in the first century be;
fore Christ, had a very large collec-
tion or museum of Signet rings. It was

' Laying a Japanese Cable.
There seems 'to be little that the
plucky Japanese cannot take hold of
and handle successfully, but we confess
our surprise at finding them ready to
undertake cable laying._ _It is stated
that they have boughtSOO knots of sub-
marine. cable to connect Japan with
Formosa- and are going to lay it them-
selves. The next thing they will do
will be to manufacture the cubic itself
and supply the whole eastern world.
When the time comes for connecting
Asia. with America by direct cable the
alert and energetic Japanese may want
to do some more cable work, mid judge:-
ing from present indications they are
far more likely to be “in it” than -112: 11'—
icans are. Somehow our cable manu-
facturers, admirable as are their prod-
ucts. never go down to deep sea work.
A Horrible Superstition.
About a month ago, while the natives

sessions in Africa. were assembled at
a dance, two negroos sneaked in to one
of the huts, stole a small child, carried
her into the bush and there murdered ‘
her that they might prepare from her
skin a. charm against attack from leop-
ards. The mother did not rest until
she had feri'eted out the murderers, and
they are now very dead men.
