Collecting "Corpea Klnya." : -'
The Dublin Freeman's Journal calls
attention to a very novel and some
what grewsome .development of the
collecting fad. A ..Ballysbannon man
has,' It states, made a collection of
sailors' "corpse rings." Seafaring
men of most nations possess in com
mon the habit of wearing a thick sil
ver ring on the little finger Thess
rings are 'engraved inside with the
owner's name and port, shd serve to
Identify his body-In the event of death
by drowning. The collection of "corpse
rings" is a fairly large one, and every
ring has, it is stated, been obtained
from the relations "or comrades of the
drowned sailor; - The fad ot a well
known statesman, no longer living, for
the collection of false teeth is beaten
In its singularity by this phase of the
collecting fever."
