more jewels of thriliiug interest than on any
river that was ever twisted in the sunshine.
It ripples through the vook of Ezskiel, and
flashes in the books of Deuterono ny and
isaiah and Zecharia an i Nahum, and on its
banks stood the mighties of many ages. It
was the crystal cradle of Moses, and on its
banks, Mary, the reiuzee, carried toe inians

Poison Rings.
In Italy the poison ring was carried
to she perfection of malicious imagin-
ing. The “Anello della morte” was
occasionally resorted to as & means of
putting an enemy out of the way. A
hollow point in the bezel, worked by a
spring, communicated with the recep-
tacle behind for the poison in such a
way that ita villanous wearer could,
in giving his adversary a hearty grasp
of the hand, inflict a mortal scratch.
The point was fashioned to look like
an ornament. So deadly and endur-
ing was the poison contained in these
rings that some twenty or more years
ago death was nearly occasioned by
handling one unwittingly. A curio
fancier was turning over gems 2 a
shop in Paris when he fell fainWug,
cand was with difficulty restored. It
| was found that he had been wounded
‘by a poison ring. This instrument
of estruction was also worn in peril-
ous times, in order that the owner
