C*rin| tor Ringa. Don’t woar your rings under gloree unless you remember to have them thoroughly examined twloc a year, ia the advice given by a jeweler. The constant friction wears out the tiny gold points that hold the stones in place, and unless striot attention is paid to them they beoome loose in a very short time. Small purses of suede leather are made on purpose so- rings, or any soft pouoh of skin or chamois may be used to place the ring In when desiring to carry them around with one. They ehculd never bo put into the ordinary pooketbook as the rubbing against coins is also bad for them. Diamonds can be cleaned at home to look as well as when done by a jeweler, If only a little trouble is taken. They should bo thoroughly •leaned In aloohol and then dried in boxwood sawdust. Tine sawdust Is too oily for this purpose. Silver filigree may bo brightened by washing it in ammonia and water, using a fine brush and oastlle soap and drying In the same manner as diamonds. In case it is very much darkened and the stains-refuse to disappear with ordinary treatment hyposulphite of soda may suoceed. Hyposulphite of soda should be purchased of a trustworthy druggist and Used only according to hie advice.

Origin of the "Old l)omiulon." Few persons are aware of the origin of the name “Old Dominion" as applied to the State of Virginia. During the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell she declared herself Independent of hie authority, on which acoount the usurper threatened to send a fleet to reduce the colony, rearing to withstand such a force, the colonists dispatched a messenger to Charles ll.—then an exile in Flanders—lnviting the royal outoast to be their king. He accepted their Invitation, and on the very eve of embarking for his throne In Amerloa was recalled to the orown of England. In gratitude for Virginia’s loyalty he quartered her coat of arms with those of England, Sootland and Ireland, as an Independent member of the British Empire. These facts are established by the coin. This is said to be the origin of the phrase "Old Dominion.” Few persons, probably, are aware that one of these States oame so near becoming an Independent kingdom, and yet only the restoration of monarohy la England prevented suoh a consummation.
