These gifts were probably the
origin cf the gift of the ring.
In later days it became the Gus.
tom for the bridegroom to place
the ring upon the finger of the

It is not certain exactly when
this custom began. and there is no
msntion in the Bible Of betrothsI
or wedding rings.
In modern Greece there are two
rings used-gold for the bride.

The Irish peasantry have gener-

Among the Auglo Normaus the
ring was always worn on the mid

in the latter part { the seventeenth
century the wedding ring was often
worn on the thumb.

Pufitans eudesvored to abolish il

Wearing the ring n the fourth

belief of the ancients that a vein
of that 6ger ran directly to the
heart.

forms OF betrothaI rings was derived

At the present day a ring is alb

BE FORTY
STORIES HIGH
New York to Have Tallest Build
ing on Earth-To Be 595 Feet
Above Ground.

New York.-The Singer Man
ufacturing Company filed plans
for a structure which will be
higher than all existing skyscrap-
ers by from 200 to 300 feet, and
be about 40 feet higher than the
Washington monument.
In connection with the i'm
provement of the property, which
it already owns, adjoining its
present building, atthe northwest
corner of Broadway and Liberty
street, the company will erect
over the central part of the en-
larged structure a tower of 40
stories, which will rise to the
height of 500 feet 10 2-.5 inches.
The tower will be IS feet square
for 36 stories, and will be sur
mounted by dome containing
four additional stories, above
which will be a cupola, and, if
that isn't high enough, flagstaff.
With the exception OF the
Eiffel tower, the Singer building
will be the loftiest structure in
the world. twill be nearly 60
feet higher than the Philadelphia
city hall, more than 200 feet high
er than the Park Row building,
and over 100 feet higher than any
of the famous spires of Europe,
with the exception of those of
Cologne Cathedral, which rise
512 feet above ground.
