About Wedding Rings.

At one time the wedding ring was
worn on the forefinger and was thick
ly studded with precious stones. Peo-
pie VINO have seen the old pictures of
the Madonna in Rome will remember
that in one or two of them there is
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 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"
on the forefinger, adding, lin the
name of the Son." on the second
finger, repeating, Tin the name of the
Holy Ghost" and on the third finger,
ending with Amen" and there it
stayed.

Recalling Ancient Times.

Prof. Flinders Petrie, the Egyptolo-
gist, recently opened in London an in
teresting exhibition of his diggings in
Egypt last winter. These latest ex-
cavations go back farther than any
heretofore made, and deal mainly with
the times of Manah, the first king of
the first dynasty, and with the stone
age which preceded him. The neo-
lithic lasted until very varying dates
in different parts of the world. In
some parts of Scotland flint instru-
ments were used even until last CEN
fury; but in Egypt 1t ended many hun
dreds of years before Christ, when
Manah probably ruled. Professor
Petrie perhaps is on the verge of
a highly interesting discovery if he
follows a clew which appears to show
the existence Of Indian influences in
Egypt in very early times. Notably
will this afford explanation of some
references of st. Paul to certain
new-fangled doctrines" such as alb
stinence from flesh, which is a char
acteristically Buddhist tenet.
