PRINCESS ALIx FAVORED.

The Greek Church Makes Concessions to
Her Never Before Given to Any One.
BERLIN, Oct 16.-The Kreuz Zeitung
says that Princess Alix of Hesse has OBJ
tanned concessions from the Russian holy
synod such as no princess in a like posi-
ton ever before secured in embracing
the orthodox faith.
The princess, according to the news
paper mentioned, Will not declare her
former religion to be accursed, nor will
she state that her conversion is due to the
conviction that the truth lies not with
her own, but with the Russian church.
1t is added that the holy synod Will be
satisfied with a simple declaration that
the princess joins the Greek church in
order to be OF the same religion as her
future husband.

WEDDING, RINGS.
Used by the Greeks and Romans In he.
frOfhaI.

Used by the Greeks and Romans In Be
trothaI.
Wedding rings we're used both by
the Greeks and Romans, but then
only at the ceremony of betrothal
and not that Of marriage, says the
Westminster Review. The Anglo.
Saxon bridegroom at the betrothal
gave a we'd or pledge, and a ring was
placed on the maiden's right hand,
where it remained until marriage,
and was then transferred to the left.
During the reigns of George 1. and
George ii. the wedding ring was oft
en- worn on the thumb. The placing
of the ring on a book is a remnant of
the ancient custom of blessing the
ring by sprinkling holy water in the
form of a cross, and this is still done
in the Roman church.
One of the earliest forms of rings
was the gemel or double ring, and
this was used as a pledge before mar
rlage. They were generally made in
three parts and broken in the pres
ence OF a witness, who retained the
third part. In Germany, Sweden.
Norway and Denmark it was a COM
mon custom for the engaged couple
each to give to the other a plain gold
ring much resembling a wedding
ring. In the last century wedding
rings were frequently inscribed with
posies. DIR. John Thomas, who was
bishop of Lincoln in 1853, married
four times. The motto or posy on
the wedding ring at his fourth mar
riage a
II I survive
I'll make them five
King Henry VIII. gave Anne Of
Cleves a ring with the posy,
God send me we'll to keep
1t was a general custom in the
middle ages for the bridegroom to
place the ring first on the thumb of
the bride, then on her second finger
and then on her third, at the name
OF each person of the Trinity, "leav-
ing it." as the rubric directs, on her
fourth finger at the word amen, thus
signifying by action, not less than by
word, that he was undertaking the
duties of the married state, sin the
name OF the Father, and of the Son
and of the Holy Ghost" The rea-
son assigned for the fourth finger be.
ing appointed as the final resting
place OF the wedding ring is because
on that finger there is generally be-
lieved to be a certain vein which pro-
ceeds to the heart. The left hand
most probably was appointed because
the virgins espoused to the church
wore the ring of their celestial nup-
tialS on the right hand.
