A Htetsry af the I'm of Tble Well-Kntwn Ornament. The practice of wearing fhii-r-riiir has' been almost universal from an early period in the world's hi'trv. j jnrie is a irauiiion wmra ascriues their invention to Tubal Cain, and the Latin authority who friven currency to the story spcakiug of the weddiug cir clet, says: '-The form of the rin lie injr circular that is to say, round and without eud iniparteth this much, that mutual love and hearty affection hlmuld roundly flow from one to the other, as iu the circle, and that continually and forever." The first authentic reference to finger-rings occurs in the old Testa ment, where (Genesis xxxviii.) men tion is niutle of Judah's sinet-rinr. That they were also in ne auionr the Egyptians at that time is evident from the 41st chapter of 'Genesis, where we read of Pharaoh taking off his own rin and putting it upon Joseph's hand, w hen he made him "ruler over all the land of Ejrypt." The hands of female mummies, found in the tombs of Egypt, arc profusely covered with rings; the wealthy ladie of that country wearing costly one uin nearly every finger, while their poorer sisters had to content them selves with circles of bronze, glass, or ixjttery. The ancient Chaldean, the Persian, and according to Herodotus, the Babylonians ore rings; and it is pronable that from Asia they were in Irodiiced into Greece. In the later Greek legends the ancient heroes are spoken of as wearing them, and at a more, recent dato every freeman throughout Greece seems to have had one. The earlier rings appear to have been used not so much for ornament as for tho practical purpose of uflixing seals; but later on they became merely ornamental, and were set with precious stoce. The Romans, who are be lieved to have derived the custom from the Sabines.wore signet-rings of iron as was the case with the Laeeda-moii-ians and every freeman had the right to wear one. Ambassadors in the early ) ears of the republic used to wear gold rings as part of their official dress; this jus an nul! aurei lieing afterwards extended to Chief Magistrates, Senators, and, biter on, to cqtiites. Kmperors were wont to confer this right on those whom they wished to favor, and the privilege became gradually more and mere ex tensive, until iu the time of Justinian, all Roman citizens could avail them selves of it. The later Romans used to wear many Tings upon their lingers, some even having different onus for summer and winter, wliile the height of "dan dyism" was reached by those who never wore the same ring twice, but threw it away when once it had doue service.

They were watched and tended by the two men who were always left in camp, and, save on rare occasions, the horses were only used to haul in the buffalo-hides. "The carap-gnards for the time being acted as cooks; and, though coffee and flour both ran short and finally gave out, fresh meat of every kind was abundant. The camp was never without buffalo beef, deer and antelope venison, wild turkeys, prairie-chickens, quails, ducks, and ralv bits. The birds were simply "potted," as occasion required; when the quarry was deer or ana-lope, the litinters toon the docs with them to run down the wounded animals. Rut almost the en tire attention of the hunters was given to the buffalo. After an evening spent in lounging round the camp-lire, and a sound night's sleep, wrapped in robes and blankets, they would get np before daybreak, snatch a hurried breakfast, and start oH in couples tnrongti tne chilly dawn. The great beasts were Terr plentiful; in the lirst day's hunt. twenty were slain; but tho herds wers restless and ever on the move. Some times they would be seen by the camp, and again it would need an all-d:iv'i tramp to had them, ihere was no (lit- Acuity in spying them the chief trouble with forest game; for on the prairie a buffalo makes no effort to hide, and its black, shaggy hulk looms np as far as the eye. can see. Some times they were found in small parties of three or four individuals, sometime in bands of about two hundred and again in great . herds of many thous and; and solitary old bulls, expelled from the herds, were common. If on broken laad. amonir hills and ravines. there was not much difficulty in ap proaching from the lceward;for, though the sense of smell in the buffalo is very acute, they do not see well at a distance through their overhanging frontlets of coarse and matted hair. If, as was generally the case, they were out on the open rolling prairie, the stalking was far more diUicult. fcvery hollow, every earth hummock and sagebush had to be used as cover. The hunter wriggled through the grass flat on his face, pushing himself along for per haps a quarter of a mile by bis toes and lingers, needless ni the spiny cactus When near enough to the huge, uncon. sclous quarry the hunter began tiring, still keeping himself carefully cod. eealed. If the smoke was blown away bv the wind and if the buffaloes caught no glimpse of the assailant, they would often stand motionless and stupid until many of their number had been slain; the hunter being careful not to fire too nigh, aiming just behind the shoulder, mhnnt a third of I lie wnv tin the body. that his bullet might go through the lungs. Sometimes, even alter tmy saw the man, they would act as it confused and panic-struck, huddling op togelhel andatarine at the smoke nuffs but generally they were off at a luinlicrina gallep as soon as they had an idea ol the point of danger. When mice start ed, they ran for many miles before halting, and their pursuit on foot was extremely laborious. iheoaort uw iu, in in. mciwiat. foreign engineers report that at ths present rate of sinking tbe northern oast of France will in a few centuries be completely submerged.

It may not be generally know n that, when exposed to severe cold, a feeling of warmth is readily created by re peatedly filling (he lungs to their ut most extent in the following manner: Throw the shoulders well back and hold the bead well up. Iullato the lungs slowly, tho air entering entirely through the nose. When the lungs are completely filled, hold the breath for ten seconds or longer, and then expire it quickly through the mouth. After relating the exercise while ono is chilly a feeling of warmth will bo felt over the entire body, and even in the feet and hands. It is important to practice this exercise many times each day, and especially when in tho open air. If the habit ever becomes uni versal then consumption and many other diseases will rarely if ever be beard of. asserts the Northwent Mara, tine.
