Tho wedding Ring.

The associations called up by we'd
ding ring are very touching, and it is
the last thing that even the poorest wife
will part with. If it ever was consider
ed a badge of servitudo. it now is much
moro suggestive Of queenship and SOW
ereigrty. An old Latin writer thus de-
series the ring: 1t is circular, because
the mutual love and hearty affection
Of matrimoIy should be forever, their
continuity remaining as unbroken as
the circlet itself 1t is an old-and ex-
ploded-notion that the ring is placed
upon the fourth finger because a small
artery connects with the heart The
real reason probably is that the loft
hand is not used as much as the right
and the fourth finger less than the other
fingers.

 The intense heat helped to make all tho markets limp here today and prifit taking was general in both Kafflrs and Ameri- cans Goday's rally was mainly due to the support of Kaf1irs from Paris and support of Americans from New York ard Germany.
