ration will bring in an era of license in
the turbulent republics.

THE WEDDING RING.

Why should the wedding ring be
ilaced on the third finger of the left
and? The custom has existed for
ages and the reason therefor has
seen given as follows:
Our ancestors found the left hand
more convenient for such ornaments
han the right, for the reason that it
IS generally less employed than the
latter. For the same reason they
chose the third instead of another
finger. The third digit is not only
less used than the others, but is bet
ter adapted to guard ring against
bruises, since that finger has this
quality peculiar to itself-it cannot
be extended but in company with
some other finger, whereas the rest
may be singly stretched to their full
length.-Harpers Weekly.
