A long time ago the wedding ring
was worn on the forefinger, and was
thiclkly studded with precious stones.
People who have seen the old pictures
of the Madonna in Rome will remem-
Der that in one. or two of them there is
u glistening ring on the forefnger OF
her right hand, but with Christianity
came the wearing OF the wedding ring
on the third finger rather than the
first. The old story of there being a
vein that runs from that finger to the
heart Is nonsense. Its use originated
in this way: The priest first put it on
the thumb, saying; In the name Of
the Father;r on the forefingcr, adding,
''Insthc name of the SOM" on the see
ond finger, repeating: I'm the name Of
the Holy Ghost" ard on the third fin
ger ending with Amen" and there it

although, Of course, there are already
plenty Of relics here in the shape of
pieces of saints and certain of their be-
longings
st. Peregrinus was martyred in Rome
by Emperor Commodus in A. d. 1s5.
He was only seventeen years old, but
he did not finch while his body was
stretched on the rack, torn with iron
hooks, beaten with clubs and burned
with torches applied to his sides.
He breathed his last uttering the
praises of his Saviour.
The Christians obtained his body
and buried it in the Catacombs. There
it remained until 1881. when it was re-
moved to the old Bencdictine monastery
at Ncustadt, Bavaria.
The fourth Sunday after Easter was
celebrated us the fete day of the saint
in Bavaria, and great crowds would
come and visit his shrine from all parts
of the country.
The Benedictines were driven from
Bavaria early in this century. Their
monastery and fertile lands were con-
fscatcd Later they were handed over
by thegovernmcnt toCount Won Lowen-
stein, who is still the virtual sovereign
of the entire domain. He restored the
monastery and called back the Bene-
dictines. In 1851 n miracle occurred.
The church at Neustadt was burned and
everything persisted save the blessed
sacrament and the body of st. Pere-
grinus new church was built. The
popularity of Peregrinus increased with
this evidence of the Almighty's pro-
lection.
Father Spielman, who is prominent
Benedictine, was in Neustadt last sum
mer, and Count Won Lowcnstein pre-
scented the body to him as representing
the new Church of st. Anselm at New
York, which is to be one of the hand
soonest cditiccS owned by the Benedic-
tine order.
The pastor ut Neufeldt wept when he
was told of the proposed transfer, and
the bishop of Unerzburg at first OPP
posed it. But in the end the count pre-
vailed Bishop and pastor issued the
necessary documents of Authorization,
the relic was sealed up. and, amid the
lamentations of the people, Father
Spiclmap took it with him to Bremen
and thence set sail for America.
The body of st. Peregrinus in It's casket
is almost the exact length of the altar
whcrcit is placed in st. Anselm's church,
A niche has been made for it beneath
the altar slab in the middle of the front
surface, and in this it fits eyenly-its
front in line with the altar front, and
its ends almost to the affairs ends.
The caslSet is of red wood on three
sides, but the entire front is of plate
glass BY this arrangement in its
present position the body lies beneath
the altar slab, plainly visible. Anyone
who advances TO the chancel rail to
genuaect can see the body with entire
distinctness, and IL is more or less
visible from other positions.

 A peculiar appearance in the front windows of an aristocratic boarding house on one of the leading avenues caused discussion among passers-by. In each pane was a square of white muslin with embroidered edges, which was apparently glued to the pane.
 That's a queer way of keeping out the light" observed one citizen to an- other.
 'Must be some new method of deco ration" remarked another.
 Don't you know what that is?' said a young woman to her husband. That's a window laundry"
 And what may that be?"
 Its the way ladies who board wash their fine handkerchiefs. You see it dries and irons them at the same time. "
 II see," answered the young man, "that they adhere like postage stamps. How do they do it?"
 ''Oh, you first catch your window, then you wash the panes and place the handkerchief against them, wringing wet. They stick like plaster, and when they come off arc as smooth as satin. In that way every woman can be her own laundress.

----------|s-----@s-- The Origin of OxtaiI Soup.

During the reign of terror in Paris in 1793 many of the nobility were re- duced to starvation and beggary. The abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the tanneries without removing the tails, and in cleaning them the tails were thrown away. One of these noble beg gars asked for tail, and it was willing ly given to him. He took it to his lo6g- ing and made (what is now famous) the first dish of oxtail soup; he told others of his good luck, and they annoyed the canners so much that price was put upon them.
