A Pretty Custom. » It wjis a pretty custom long ago for lovers to exchange rings. The gentleman did not have to spend u months income for a pretty trinket for which he got no return, hut he also wore and cherished a souvenir from his sweetheart. Chaucer de scribes a heroine as giving her lover a ring on whicli were engraved suitable love mottoes and receiving a like one in return. Shakespeare makes more than one allusion to this custom: In the "Two Gentle men of Verona" Julia gives Portcus a ring, saying: "Keep you this re membrance for thy Julia's sake." To whicli he replies: "Why, then we'll. make exchange; here, take you this." X. out of All and and still A "giinmal" or linked ring was then invented which gave »till great er force and »igniHcancc to the cus tom. It was made of a double and often triple link, which turned upon a pivot. It could he opened, show- j ing three rings. A small hand was to attnehed to eaeli outer ring, which, * ,a when closed, caused the hands to daHp, inclosing a heart which was affixed hi the central notched ring. It wax customary to break these ring« asunder in a solemn manner over the bible. It was always done in the presence of a witness, who kept the center rink, the betrothed couple reserving the two outside links. When the marriage contract was fulfilled at the altar the three portions were united and the ring used in the ceremony.—Jewelers' Weekly. He ble tied it ed he A Happy Ending. Shortly before seven o'clock the other morning a milk-wagon with red wheels turned into Charlotte Avenue from Woodward. At the same moment u milk-wagon with a view of the Yosemitc on the cover turned into Charlotte iflyi Park. They met. The driver of one had a long nose and a melancholy look. The driver of the other had a fat face and was minus two front teeth. They stopped. The driver of one turned red und green, and his eyes Hashed, and his hair stood up, and there was murder in his eye.

The man is per fectly sane otherwise and is well educated. He imagines himself to he continually surrounded by witches, and wears a belt tilled with chunks of lead to prevent them from Hying away with him.
