Grecian Marriage-Gesture.
There ure two noted statues of the
Venus Genetrix in which the Grecian
marriage-gesture is illustrated—one a
Roman copy of a Greek original held
to represent a celebrated type by Al
camenes. in Hie I.oiivre, Paris. The
goddess is clad in a very light Ionian
tunic, and with raised right arm lifts
her hinmtion from behind toward her
head, forming the Greek gesture sym
bolic of marriage. The left hand ex
tends the apple.
The other, an antique marble siatue,
in the Vatican museum, is held to he
an excellent copy of tile bronze cult
stntue by Aroeslhius which stood in
the temple of Venus of the Forum
.Tuliutn. The figure is fully draped in
very thin, clinging drapery; site ex
tends the apple with her left hand,
and with the right raises her mantle
over the shoulder toward the head—
the symbolical marriage-gesture.
Japanese "Maru."
The word "maru" attached to the
name of every merchant ship and
commonly accepted as meaning “ship”
in reality has no known meaning. Ac
cording to a Japanese authority the
word is the survival of a custom cen
turies old. There are two opinions as
to how the custom started. The story,
the more likely to lie the true one, Is
that in ancient times the Japanese
attached “maru’' to rhe name of any
thing precious or highly prized, as a
sword or a baby. It was first applied
to a ship's name about 2.000 years
ago, when the Empress Jingo sent an
expedition to Korea. She added the
word to the name of the ship Hint
transported the troops to Korea. Ever
since then “maru" lias been associated
with the name of a steamship or sail
ing vessel. It is never used with the
name of a warship.

Wedding Rings.
The wedding ring was not alwaj*
plain, as we see it today. It was fro
quently highly ornamented and
wrought with various designs. But
as other rings began to he worn the
wedding ring was made conspicuously
plain. 'file practice, however, was
long in vogue of inscribing appro
priate mottoes on rings. The ring
may lie said to be symbolic. It is of
gold and typifies purity and refinement,
whereas its rotundity signifies "the
round flowing of mutual love and
hearty affection.”
