binding the Thumbs

The form of marriage in Ccylon
and other parts of India is by binding
together the thumbs of the bride and
bridegroom: and the thumb was n;
first. in many countries. the finger"
upon which the weddng-rng was
worn, which was only changed for the
finger upon which it is now generally
placed because it was supposed that IL
vein of blood passed from this finger
directly to the heart. thus connecting
it with the very center and seat of life.
This part of the marriage rite is thus;
vestige of the primitive covenant of
blood. "A survival of it fingered in
this country down to very recent
times. and is still practised in remote
localities: viz, to lick the thumb when
giving solemn pledge or promise. 1t
is even recognized on the statute book.
and in the Scottish law courts. bar
gain is legal if the parties to it had
licked and joined thumbs when it was
made. The thumb pressed upon wax
was formerly regarded as IL seal or
mark of good faith; and swearing by
pressing the thumb on the blade of ii
sword was the most solemn form of
oath that could be administered. The
Pope .once said that he could free a
nun from the oath of the veil or a
knight from the oath of fidelity, but
he could not free any man who had
Al
SO binding was it that the Latin word
pollicitarc, and the English word pol
hc1tation, which means to promise or
engage, is derived from pollcr, the
thumb.

The Roumanian Repulsion

The ROumanian authorities are suf-
fering from another violent spasm of
prosecuting zeal. The spasm is pro
longed one. 1t has been going on since
the great peasant outbreak. and has
shown itself by the increased fervor
displayed in the expulsions of Jews
from the villages. Professions of these
people, passing from time to time
through London, have directed atten-
ton to those Infamous proceedings
But the reports which have recently
reached Berlin point to their contin-
uance on an even larger scale than
ever. According to these statements,
the local authorities have received in
structions to expel thousands of Jews
