The custom of wearing rings upon
the thumb prevailed in England until
the close OF the eighteenth century,
and is of very ancient origin. says the
London Lady. There is mummy case
in the British Museum which repre-
sents an Egyptian lady wearing rings
upon the thumbs of both her hands.
The Romans were greatly addicted to
this practice, and as many OF their
thumbrings were most cumbersome
and inconvenient, the patrlcians varied
their rings with the season, terming
them summer" or winter" rings; as
the case might be.
During his visit to Rome, Addison
saw some of these old rings, and com
ments thus upon them: so very
thick about. and with such large
stones in them. that It's no wonder a
fop should reckon them little cum
bersome in the summer season or so
hot a climate. THE Emperor Trajan
possessed a winter thumb ring
which measured some three and q half
inches In width, and bore a bust In
high relief OF his consort, Plotina. En-
glish thumb rings do not appear to
have been less massive. During the
latter part of the middle ages they
formed part of the necessary adorn
ment of a bishop when he was arrayed
in full pontifcals. a.
Thomas Beckett possessed
thumb ring set with valuable ruby
which was about the size of a hens
egg. The ring was gift from Louis
VII of France. At the Reformation

LORE of the THUMB RING

into fashion for a while. They had
classes and had gradually come to be
considered as indicative Of the burgess
class. Thumb rings were often set
with the tooth OF some animal as an
amulet. A VOLTS tooth was supposed
to act as a charm against assault,
while a badgers tooth brought wealth
and general good luck.
The crapandine, or toadstone, was
also used in this way, as 1t was sup
posed to possess various mystic vir-
tues, one OF which being the power OF
warning its wearer of the presence OF
poison in his food or drink by chang.
Ing its color. The mystic word Ana
myaptus" was often engraved upon a
thumb ring as a charm against epilep'
sy or cramp. This was in accordance
with an old superstition which gives
this word as a cure "for the falling
sickness" Another favorite prevent
i've of epilepsy was silver thumb ring
engraved in Gothic characters with
the names Of Jasper, Melchior and Bal
thazzar. the three wise men from the
East. In THE Squire's Tale" ChauceI
mentions a magical thumb ring worn
by Conace, the daughter of CAMPUS

knowledge of the medicinal values Of
herbs and enabled her to converse
with birds in their own language. Wed
