The Pope’s Offlclal Rina*. The pope has three special rings . for his use. The first Is generally rather a plain gold one. with an intagiJ io or cameo ornament. This is called 1 the papal ring. The second one, called ’ the pontifical ring, because used only when the pope pontificates or officiates at grand ceremonies, is an exceedingly | precious one. The one worn on these occasions by Plus IX was made during the reign of Plus VII. whose name Is cut on the inside. It is of the purest gold, of remarkably fine workmanship, set with a very large oblong diamond. It cost 30.000 francs (£1.200> and has a contrivance on the inside by which it can be made larger or smaller to fit the wearer's finger. The fisherman’s ring, so called because It has a figure of St. Peter in a bark throwing his net into the sea. is a plain gold ring with an oval face, bearing the name of the reigning pope engraved round and above the figure of the apostle. The ring weighs IJfc ounces. It was first a private and not an official ring, though it has been used in the latter way since the fifteenth century and Is now the official seal of the popes and the first among the reigns.—Golden Penny. The Yaws. On the west coast of Africa the natives call the raspberry a yaw. It happens that one of the pleasing diseases that come out from that quarter of the globe Is characterized by dusky red spots that appear on the body and soon grow into ulcers about the size and looks of the raspberry. So this disease Is called the yaws. It Is contagious and downright disagreeable. White sailors bring It back with them to their own discomfort and the disgust of those at home. Yaws prevails also in the Fiji Islands and in Samoa, but In these two places children mainly are attacked, and the natives regard the disease in the same light as civilized persons look at measles—almost a certainty to have and the sooner over with the better. Di«coura<inff, “It’s very discouraging." said the young man. “I confess that at times I considered myself a genius.” “But perhaps you are.” suggested his friend soothingly. “Impossible. I explained my plans to half a dozen bard beaded, practical men. and net one of them seemed to think that I was a blamed fool.”—Life. The Commercial Instinct. Mamma—Tommy, do stop that noise. If you'll only be good. I'll give you a 1 penny. Tommy—Xo: I want a nickel. Mamma—Why. you little rascal, you were quite satisfied to be good yesterday for a penny. Tommy—l know, but that was a bargain day.—Philadelphia Press.
