The wediing-Ring Finger.

This is the fourth finger on the left
hand Why this particulardigit should
have received such u token OF honor aud
trust beyond all its cougeuers, both ia
pagan and Christian times, has been
Variously interpreted. The most cont
mon explanation Isl according to Sit
Thomas Browne, presuming therein
that a particular vessel. nerve, vein or
artery is conferred thereto from the
heart which direct vascular commit
nication Browne shows TO be anatomic-
ally incorrect. Macrobius gives another
reason, which may perhaps satisfy those
anatomists who are not satisfied with the
above. "Pclex," l,e says, ''er hientB
(whese office aud general usefulness aro
sufficiently indicated from its Lain der
ivative poeilo, and from its Greek equiv
alent dpticLier, which means .as good
as hand,") is TOD busy to be set apart
for any such special enjoyment the
next finger to the thumb, being but half
protected on that side, besides having
othcr work TO do, is also ineligible; I; the
opprobrium attaching to the middle fin-
ger, called medtcas, puts it entirely out
of the question and rs the little finger
stands exposed, and moreover is too
puny to enter the lists in such con
test, the spousal honors deyolge .natur-,
ally on proaaJus, the wedding finger"
In Tie British Apoiio, 1888, il is urged
that the fourth finger was chosen from
