WEDDINQ RINGS. Kvaa TIim Conventional Tblna i'liange Willi Faahlun.

Hhe so carried this habit to ex ecu that It extended even to tier wedding ring, was a broad, heavy, oval-topped ring, the fashions rhunged and a new width or shape came Into favor, aays the New York Herald. When It was first placed upon her flngur the ring waa a bnuid, heavy, over-lopped ring, with rather sharp edges. That poor little circle hna gore through the fire enough times to change It Into a flat ring with hijiiiik edges, Into a per fectly round wire, Into a half wire, Into a flat top band with round edges, and even to eliminate Its Identity en tirely aa a wedding ring, and It la now no more her original wedding ring than any other ring which she wears. Hut he still calla it her wedding ring, and her wedding ring I always In the latest fashion. Whether she wIkIic to appear a bride, or whether aha Imaglnea that It will help her to appear younger than h really la, Is a mystery, Hhe herself I scandalized at the very Idea that any one will ImtUt upon wearing an old-fashioned wedding ring and expresses great disgust with any woman who allows herself to be out of fashion In this matter. Quite a dis cussion took place on the Hudson river boat the other day between her and another woman who bad romantic Ideas concerning her ring arid had never allowed It to be removed from her finger since It was placed there by her hoshnnd during the marriage ceremony, considering It a sacred em blem, too precious to be removed even for a moment. The frivolous woman, however, Is not utterly devoid of tha proper sentiment about thla Important ring, or she would put It away In her jewel casket and buy a new wedding ring with each new style. It would cost less money than to have the old one done over. UNDERSELL HOME PRODUCERS Am 1 Itlil on tll(w dint met Lower Thaa ftrltlih Offer. From the Pall Mall Gazette: Some weeks ago the Glasgow corporation In vited tenders for the supply of 1.000 tons of cast-Iron plpoa. The two low est offers came from the United Htatea, but aa the casting were wanted In nine-feet length and those specified by the Americans were twelve feet long, revised estimate were aeked for and the amount of the several quotation made known. The amended offer were opened yeeterday and an American firm Bgaln aska lesa than any of the others. As there are over 200 iron founders In Glasgow and most of them deal in pi pea the committee In charge of the contract decided to leave the matter over for further consideration.

A Strang I'henomennn OIervel by .over of Katnro. Did you ever see a froxen breexet You might have aeen one If you had gone with me Into the .country on a recent winter morning. This was the way It came to be frozen. All night long the air had been laden with mist. Over the flelda, In the hollowa, all through the woods, even on top of the hllla, the fog hung heavily. All that time the wind blew Bteadlly, but not fiercely, from aome northern quarter. At nightfall the mercury fell below the freezing point, so that thla mlat, as It drifted through the trees, was frozen upon their branches and twigs. The elms, the oaks, and the other lenfleaa trees took their Ice-coating quite evenly; but the thick, Impene trable mnaes of the needles of the pine trees were covered noticeably only up on the aides toward the north or north west, from which the wind came. Tho strong, steady breeze bent the branches to leeward, while It waa Icing them; and when the wind went down In trie morning they all remained just there, leaning to the southward, Iced and frozen to Immovability, but looking Just as If the wind were atlll steadily blowing. Even In the afternoon, when the rain begou to fall, and the wind came from quite another quarter, that north wind of the night before atlll remained white and frozen over thl piny woods the pale, rigid corpse ol a thing once keenly alive.
