A< lady nest

and the prodigal was given a ring
upon, his return to his father.
Legends relate that Joseph es
poused Mary with a ring in which
an amethyst was set, .and of course
this precious relic was found (by a
miracle) and performed many
wonderful cures, for the benefit of
mankind and the treasury of the
church.
The young Eoman sent the
maiden his family had selected to
become his wife a ring in token of
his fidelity. Gold was the usual
material, but in the time of Pliny,
iron rings set with adamant were
used to denote the durability of
the contract. As now, this ring
was worn oh the fourth finger of
the left hand.. It was not -always
plain, but often bore a device, as a
key to denote the authority and
responsibility of a wife in her hus
band’s house.
The diamond w as much , esteem
ed as a wedding ring in Italy in
the 15th and 16th centuries, for
that gem was believed to have a
mysterious power in maintaing
happiness between husband and
wife. Silver rings, inlaid with
Niello, were also used.
Gemmed rings were in fashion
forty or fifty years ago. Two and
sometimes three and four delicate
rings were hinged or linked to
gether, and bore upon the top
when closed clasped hands or a
heart, emblems of love and .fideli
ty. Mottoes or posies were en
graved on the inside of these rings.
The prettiest one I ever saw read,
“Endless and.ptire be our love.”
The Anglo-Saxons used these
rings, and they in turn borrowed
them of the French. I for- one
would like to know from whom the
French borrowed them, but Histo
ry is silent on that point.
The wedding ring has been worn
upon the thumb, and upon the
right hand. But the women of all
nations have been as busy as bees,
and with-spinning and. weaving to
occupy their fingers, and it is easy
to see why even a princess should
put her prized wedding upon the
hand and finger which would keep
it the safest. The fancy that a
vein or a nerve runs directly from
the fourth finger of the left hand
tu the heart, is very ancient, and
no doubt helped to make it the
bearer of the wedding, ring; and
there was m the eai'ly days of the
church a curious custom of recog
nizing the Trinity by placing the
ring on the first finger or thumb,
for the Father, on the second fin
ger for the Son, and on the third
finger for the Holy Ghost. Then
it was . placed upon tlie fourth
finger, from which loving and su
perstitious wives never removed it.
Scholars are fond of telling ns
that the wedding ring meant the
subjection of the wife, and the
placing it on the left hand meant
more subjection. But in the past
the subjection of women has need
ed no sign to emphasize it. It
was an accepted .and expected fact,
and was perhaps a condition of
safety.
In the middle ages die wedding
ring was blessed or hallowed by
the officiating priest, and the form
used seems to me very beautiful:
“Hallow thou, Lord, this ring,
which we bless in Thy- holy name.,
that whatsoever woman shalt wear
it may stand fast in Thy peace,and
continue in Thy will, and live^and
grow, and wax old inbChy love, and
be multiplied with length -of days.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
The service or the Church of
England, compels the use of a ring
and an odd story is told, of two
paupers,.who,' too.pool’ to buy a'
ring, were securely tied by means
of a curtain ring, supplied by the
sympathetic clerk. Two rings are
used in modern Greece. A gold
one for the. bridegroom; and a sii-

In Greece, the bride rode to her
husband’s house in a litter, seated
between the bridegroom and his
friend—the best man. In Eome
two boys led the bride, but her at
tendant was a married woman
whose duty it was to lead the
newly married pair to the altar of
the family gods. In the time of
the Anglo-Saxons the bride was
led by a matron, and followed by
a company of young girls, who
were called the bridesmaids. From
them the 'custom has descended
to us.
Dr. Wormley, in a recent work,
concludes, as the result of a most
searching study of the blood . of
forty different mammals, that “a
microscope may enable its to de
termine with great certainty that a
blood is not of a certain animal,
and is consistent with the blood of
man; but in no instance does it in
itself enable us to say that the
blood is really human, or indicate
from what particular species of
animal it was derived.” The state
ment has a high medico-legal im
portance.

Brother Blaine, it will be re

benign refusal his enthusiastic
partisans begging him to be the
Eepublican candidate; and so the
ardor of his friends was increased,
and they forced a Yes out cf his
timid lips at last. Perhaps they
may do So again. Meanwhile, he

A few weeks ago an anctioh sale

which in its-results was quite up
to expectations both as to prices
and demand. Last week there
were two sales .of flannel goods
aggregating in money value be-
teeh two and three millions of dol-
lare, yet the concessions whioh
had to; be made, so far as prices
are concerned were moderate, and
nqt only were . the goods cata
logued disposed -of,flmt in some
they had to be duplicated, . All
this shows that consumption is in
creasing and that buyers are ap
parently of theffeelief that this is
a good time to lay in stocks- One
of the underlying causes for the
long, depression in trade has been
an indisposition to purchase in the
hope of being able to secure bet

demand has been reduced to a
minim urn, while mi Us have been
