THE WEDDING RING.
How 1t Was Regarded on the Isle of
 Man-John Wesley's Courtesy.

In the Isle of Man the wedding ring was formerly used an instrument of torture Cyril Davenport in his book on Jewellery remarks that there once existed custom on that island "ac- cOrding to which an unmarried girl who had been offended by a man could bring him to trial and if he were round guilty she would be presented with Il sword. a rope and q ring. With the sword she might cut off his head: with the rope she might hang him. or with with the ring she might marry him. It is said that the latter punishment was that invariably inflicted"
 The wedding ring. which was toler ated by the Methodists. was anathema 60 the early PuritanS. who regarded personal adornments as one of The many Snares of Satan. Wesley. who was q high churchman, probably recognized it's Symbolical value. In the old Eng fish marriage service it was the GUS tom for the bridegroom to put the ring pn the thumb of his bride, saving. In ihe name of the Father" then on the next finger. saying. and the Son." then nn the third finger. saving. and ot tIt fiDtN tInts |. IlndllN on lN.- IOuTtH finger. with the word. Amen"
 The ring was left there because. as the Sarum rubric says. "a vein pro- ceeds thence to the ' heart In the modern marriage service the ring is placed at once upon the third finger the invocation to the Trinity being un- derStOOd.

This great work can no longer be prosecuted by ladies' aid and lem onade.' We have passed that stagge. It must be done by that factor in great business enterprises that makes them successful. We must use the same methods that they use in advancing in foreign countries their products.

V. u. l. Again-A Pertinent
Question.
Communicated.

Mr.. Editor: The people of this
section, and of the entire state, have
a warm place in their hearts for the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, par
ticularly the agricultural depart
ment, and are panied TO know that
the institution Is not moving on
smoothly. Your recent article cop
led In all the papers seems to have
drawn the fire OF the one man who
Is responsible for the recent rucas.
Mr.. Priddy, and he now hints at
charges which will be soon made
public. My prediction is that 1t
will be another instance OF the noun
tain and the moIehill.
What we out In the woods want
TO know is, who Is Mr.. Priddy, and
what has he got To do with the V.
T.. l.? He is President of the V. p.
/. Alumni Association and lives in
New York City. What has he. or
the Alumni Association got to do
with the management OF v. p. I.7
Out here we understand that the
Board of Visitors OF Directors, APP
pointed by the state, and the facul-
rs are the managers. Is this the
oase, or Is Mr.. Priddy and the Alum
NIL Association the guardians OF the
xfe2 fare and conduct Of. the institu-
kpn? Mr.. Priddy says, in substance,
that the trouble is with the Board
of Directors. He exonerates the
Faculty. Now what we want te
] know is, What authority has Mr.
Priddy, or Mr.. Anybody else, except
the Board and the faculty, to b'
preferring charges and presuming Il
iun or interfere with the V. p. T.
If Mr.. PIiddy. President of tn,
Alumni Association, or the Asso
citation through him, is authorizes
and delegated to criticise and inves
tigate the institution, let this here
tofore, unknown fact be known.

The Times-Dispatch Enlightened

Some one asks the query editor
of the Times Dispatch for the origin
of the custom of hanging a horse
shoe over the door to bring good
luck. The query editor says he
doesn't know. Here 1t is: Once
upon time the devil came to a
blacksmith and asked him to put a
shoe on one of his feet in order that
he might paw and kick like a horse.
The smith complied and put the
shoe on hot. In little while the
foot began TO be very painful; and
the devil, unable to remove the shoe,
returned to the smith and begged
that the shoe be-Femoved, which was
done. and the devil ran away as fast
as he could. Ever since, wherever
the devil sees horse shoe hanging
he is said to run aSay from that
house as fast as he can. So, there
you are.
