ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
Cascem Traced trout Mista of Antlq
ally, with Fashion's Maay
Variations.
At what period tinge were first used in
the marriage ceremony it ts Impossible to
say. . Their use has been tract d back to the
early Hebrews, who probably borrowed the
custom from ths Egipilans, a elide. In the
language of the hieroglyphics, being a sym
bol of eternity.
Both Greeks and Romans used wedding
rings, placing them upon the forefinger.
During certain periods of the Middle Age
custom demanded that the ring should
cost as much as the bridegroom could af
ford to pay, and cases are on record In
Germany and Fiance of fashionable grooms
who made large expenditures In this di
reaction. Ths Inevitable reaction came,
however, and made tbe prescribed symbol
a plain gold circlet
The materials of which wedding rings
have been made are as different as the
nations using them. Rings of bone and
hard wood have been found In Swiss
lakes, and others, of Ivory, copper, brass,
lead, tin. Iron, silver and gold, come to
museums from various parts of ths earth.
In the fourteenth century a custom pre
vailed In Italy of adorning the ring with
a precious stone belonging to the month
In which the bride was bora. The fancy
spread to France, and French bridegrooms
would sometimes endeavor to multiply
their chances of obtaining the good luck
by presenting their brides with twslve
rings, ons for eaoh month. Indeed the
use of several rings In the marriage cere
mony Is not at all uncommon. When Mary
Stuart was married to Darnley, four were
placed upon her hand. The Greek church
uses two rings, one of silver and one of
gold, and some districts of Spain and Por
tugal prescribe three.
Fashion has. of course, determined the
finger on which the ring Is to be worn,
and so much has It varied that the sym
bol has traveled from the thumb to the
fourth finger.
An English work on etiquette, published
In 1732, says that It Is ths bride's prtv.lege
to choose the finger for her ring. It fur
ther etatea that eome prefer the thumb,
because It is the strongest member of the
hand; others ths Index finger, because at
Its base Uee the "Mount of Jupiter." lndl
eating noble aspirations; others the mid
die finger, because It Is the longest; and
still others choose the fouith, because s
"vein proceeds from It to the heart."
Tbe left band receives the wedding ring
because It le the emblem of submission,
as ths right is of authority, the position of
the symbol on the left hand of the bride
thus indicating subjection to her husband.
At least - these were the notions enter
tained In thla regard before the advent of
tbe modern woman. Harper' a Weekly.
"Dr. Deepsearch Is a wonderful man. He
naa aiscoverea over tnirty nsw diseases
"Can he cure them all?"
"Oh, no. He leaves that for some one
slse to do." Chicago Tribune.
THIS WAS THE BIGGEST FISH
Moaater fat la tbe Mississippi tar
ried a fttramnoal O "
nwa the River.
Ten. It weighed l.7RI pounds. It eae
ffl feet snd 7 Inohss long and as big
round th middle as the tower tn the
courthouse." said Csptaln Josh.
'That s a mighty big f sh. Captain Jcat,
mighty big flrt. remarked ths grocer
s hs fastened the patent screen on the
prune box.
"I reckon It were I reckon It were.
reflected the carta n "There ain't ne flan
like that In the Mississippi nowadays.
"No, I reckon there ain't." sniffed tho
grocer. "But, Jook here, cap n, 110. v a you
ketch that fish and how'd ou carry him
whsn you had him ketched7"
"Didn't say I carried him and didn't say
ketched him," replied the captain, bel- ,
llcerently. "Fellers tike you is always
tiyln' to pin a man down to dee-talla."
But If you didn't ketch him how d you
measure and wslgh hlmT"
"Never said I weighed and measured
him," srarled Captain Joab.
"You was eteamboatlng then, wa?n t you,
cap'n?" queried the grocer.
"Tou know 1 waa ateamboatlng.
"I a' pose, then, you ketched thnt fish
with a landln' etage and a two Inch rop?.
Maybe you used a bent smokestack tor a
hook and baited It with a eouple of river
rats-seem1 that fish must have been a
catflKh."
'Neier done It I" expUded Cap ain J ah
Didn't ketch that fish and didn't say I
ketched him. Fact la, hs ketched me:"
'Steamboat and all?"
Steamboat and alt." affirmed the cap
tain. "We cast off about sundown and
started down the river on a June rlno wltit
a full head of steam. I don't s pose we'd
been swinging along mor n an hour till
we brought up with a rort of a soft, slldin'
bump.
'Bar? aes I.
Nope, ses the pilot It ran t he.'
' 'Snag?' aes I.
' 'No chance at all!' ses he
'But before 1 eou'd ereue- the nuestlon
with Mm the old Joptha Iv. Jimson b gn
to travel up rlvrr with her pailtllos th cw n'
white water and a ntreum ot fire hangln
to her stacks liks the tall of a skyrocket. '
There we was, headed dawn river on a
June rise with a full head of steam, but
Instead ot iroln' down river we were boom
ing along up river fastorn'n any of these
here newfangled ottyrrobilca ever did travel.
"Pretty soon a streak of light went pa't.
Memphis,' res the pilot. 'I reckon It ain't,'
aes I; 'this Is Faint Louie.' 'Wrong side of
the river.' srs lie: It's Qulncy, 111 noy,'
But Just shout that time the old Jeptha
K. Jlmson raUcd clear out of the water.
turned square around and started backing
down river. '
'It was Sain' Louie!' ses the pilot.
'Not a bit of It,' sex I; 'It's Memphis''
And I reckon It must have been Memphis
because there we were swinging along
about a hundred miles below that town.
"I a' pose that fish took that steamboat
