They Wore Them in Rome In the Days of the Empire, } The seal ring worn by the modern business man u:nd ocassionally used to seal important letters and documents had its origin in the early empire and' has come down through the centuries virtually unchanged. Each ring bears in intagllio the coat of arms or crest, duplication of which by any outsider constituted a crime. I These jewels show plainly the influ- ence of times and. conditions; trace victories and conquests and reflect the successive graduations of the early Romans from the summit of worlii power to decadence. For instance, the passion fur engraved gems was plainly stimulated after Pompey's vic- tories in the East. The conquests of Greea:e and Etruria are plainly reflect - t ed in the infusion of delicate handi- craft and Etruscan artists, taken cap- tive to Rome. Compared with the jewelry of other ancient nations, the distinctly Roman jewels tore held to possess the advant- age of color and strength in design and workmanship. Its characteristic t features were broad surfaces, massive construction and the use of large stones. Unclear the Roman republic the. use of precious stones was prohibited ex- cept in rings, but in imperial times they were worn in such lavish profu- sion that successive laws were made in an effort to correct wild extravag- ance. Pliny describes a' girl who at her betrothal ceremony was covered with pearls and emeralds from head to fent Reflecting the decadence of this period is the fact that rings were worn by men in senseless profusion. Mar- tial speaks of an exquisite who wore six on every finger, and had different summer.set. for winter and suer. Bracelets were also worn in large d Breadstuffs, o, good, $10.50 to Toronto; 'May 0. -Manitoba Wheat No. 1 Northern,, $2.24?4 • No, 2 Northern, $2.211ii• No. 3 Northern $2.l7; No. .1 wheat, $2.11%, in store, Fort William.

Uncon- sciously -Disguised With Silk. We have adopted, many foreign ideas of comfort or utility, but no one, has sought to introduce the wooden Shoe from Holland. The tin stocking is even less suggestive of luxury, and yet many of us wear them. 'Of course a• person could not wear.a sock of "eighteen•earat" tin and be uncon- scious of it, but if the tin is • alloyed end disguised with silk he can wear a considerable amount of it without sus- pecting it. In cutting round tops and bottoms out of tin sheets in the manufacture of tin'cans there remains a certain amount of scrap. Men have sat up nights figuring the 'maximum number of snch pieces of various size that can be cut from a alga of. tin, and still there is the waste left over that Can- not be worked into sheets again. Re- lief is found in the demaffd of the manufacturer of silk, who needs some substance to weight his goods. A silk garment hangs and fits and holds its shape better if weighted. Everyone knows how soft and light are the un- weighted pongee silks. So the manu- facturers of tin cans and of silks co- operate. One disposes of his tin waste and the other converts the metal into tin chloride and works it into the wo- ven silk. Virtually all the waste of tizi-can factories is put to that use. Some silk stockings contain as much as thirty per cent. of tin. The use is entirely legitimate, since the trade de- mands a silk that is firm and heavy for'- certain garments for which the purchaser desires a perfect fit. Silk waste, such as worn-out and cast-off garments, becomes in .turn a source of tin worth attention. Rag pickers give little heed.to silk rem- nants, but carefully collect linen and wool. The rag -pickers' union, if there is such a body, might well take notice of this information. The tin chloride in the silk is easily converted into tin oxide by burning the material, and from the oxide the metal can be re- solved. e." Incurable.

"Can you tell me where the line is, sergeant?" altterrtod the officer, The sergeant tools the cigarette from his nroiith and calmly replied: "As a matfer oil fact, sir, I am the front IiuQ,"
