those days were not written upon paper, but
with wooden stylus upon moist clay, which
was subsequently hardened by baking.
"From this source the seal has come down
through the moro modern civilization of Greece
and Rome to the present day as a sign OF good
faith. 1t is with that significance that it is
placed upon the third finger of the brides left
hand to seal the contract between herself aud
her newly made husband. Also il is surInised
that the ring il intended to remind the wife OF
the fidelity she owes. Furthermore, the circle
Is the emblem of eternity. But why, you ask,
does the bride choose the third finger Of the
left hand to wear her ring on? Simply because
the anclents supposed that nerve ran directly
from that finger to the heart. need hardly
say that the researches of modern ANTAGONISTS
have shown this to be an error; but the custom
survives. The courtesans of Rome used to wear
their rings upon their thumbs because the
thumb was sacred to Venus.
Hebrews regard the ring in the ceremony OF
marriage as Of extraordinary Importance. 1t
must be of certain value, certified TO by the
officiating rabbi, and it must be absolutely the
grooms own property-not obtained by gift or
purchased on credit There are a number of
curious supsrstitions about wedding rings. II

gong to lose her husband really think that
majority OF women never take off their we'd
ding rings, believing that to do so would occa-
sion misfortune.
The most extraordinary custom relating TO
wed)ock that know OF prevailed in England
about the year 1900 and before. particularly III
Lincolnshire, and was called marriage en- Chi
mese. 4 woman with some means of her own,
marrying man who was embarrassed finan-
cially, would 70 to the altar with nothing on
but her smock, having been previously I'M
dressed to that primitive garment by her
bridesmaids. This was considered to signify
that the wife brought the husband nothing,
and that therefore his creditors could have no
hold upon her property for his debts. Some
times a sheet was worn merely for the same
purpose. Hence comes the expression. some
times employed by incorporating papas in
the old days: If you want my daughter, sir.
you must take her in her smock.' This implied
that she would have no fortune"

Coated Diamonds and smugglers.

From the Jewellers Catalogue.
We are informed that about six weeks ago Q
jewelSy firm not far from Madison Square, on
Broadway. succeeded in getting q number of
diamonds past the customs officials in . pecu-
liar way.
The diamonds numbered between eighty and
ninety, and were worth in the vicinity Of
$4,000, as they were all large stones.
On the invoice they were billed az imitation
French jewels of the new kind. These dis-
monds are made of brilliant pieces of glass
highly polished and deity covered with a thin
coating Of genuine diamond shavings These
stones are so expertly made that il is almost i'm
possible to detect the imitation even by the use
OF a strong microscope. The tell-tale feature
OF the imitation stone is a roughness around
the circular edge at the widest part OF the stone
where the two layers of the diamond coating
join.
This is really the only way that the imitation
can be detected. Emeralds. pearls and rubies
are also made in this same way. IL il necessary
TO use microscope to detect this roughnes
about the edge.
When the consignment Of supposed imitation
diamonds arrived the assistant appraiser -
signed to gauge their value examined
each stone carefully with . powerful micro
scope, and found that all Of them had the tell
tale roughness on the edges. he accordingly
allowed them to be delivered TO the consignees
on payment Of the duty based upon q valuations
OF S6O0. This saved the firm some u, 200 n
duty.
As matter Of fact, the jewellers knew the
means taken by the custom house authorities
to discover whether the stones we're imitation or
not and had filed the edges Of the diamonds
before shipment from the other side, 20 that
they resembled the spurious articles.

FACTS ABOUT WEDDING RINGS

the ring is used as q matri-

learned Smithsonian cura-
tor 70 a STAR writer. THE
reason is very we'll known.
1t is employed a. a token
OF good faith because the
ring was originally and
primarily q seal. In ancient
Babylon, 1000 years ago,
all documents were at
tested by seals, as they are
now, and the merchants
very usually wore their

How to Preserve a Piano.

FROM Chambers journal.
Pianofortes must be kept dry and free from

the Strings and pins, initiates the felt and
leather, utterly running the action work For
this reason on wet and foggy days the window
