The Fourth Finger.

Most people know that the reason
the ring is put on the fourth finger
of the left hand Is said to be because
the first two fingers and the thumb
were counted all as fingers and
therefore as three. The thumb used
to be the ring finger anciently, and
the seal rings of those in authority
were placed on his first short, thick
finger, the most useful of the hand.
The wedding ring is the modern de-
scendent OF this oldtime thumb ring
and was removed to the fourth fin
ger in this way: The first three were
named for the Three Pearsons OF the
Trinity, and at the word Amen, after
the naming OF the Three, the ring
reached the fourth finger and was
left there. In reality. the ring finger
is the safest place for 1t.
There Is another and less pleasant
origin, too. for the wedding ring. The
olden rings were the mark of bond
age as we'll as OF dignity.

the wedding is the ring, relic of an
cient usage, symbol of dignity and of
delighted authority The bridegroom,
in choosing the golden symbol, sa-
cred in marriage from antiquity, buys
the best ring he can afford. For it
is to last a lifetime on the finger
OF the wife. Nothing makes man
look meaner than a cheap wedding

a substantial and good ring used at
his wedding should be esteemed a vi

The Boston Post, which for an
eastern paper takes much interest in
Indian affairs recent
Saving the ly made the follow
Indians Again ing comment on the
subject of payments
to the Indians by the government:
"A considerable step in the solu-
ton of the Indian Problem is recon-
mended in the report of the Board of
Indian Commissioners to the Secre-
tary of the Interior. 1t is, in brief,
that the large tribal funds now held
in trust by the government shall be
broken up into individual holdings.
This has before been strongly sug
gested, but never with the perspi-
cacity with which it issnow set forth.
"These tribal funds, accommodating
for many years, now amount to some
$50, 900, 900. The Indian Commission
ers in their report state emphatically
their belief that this condition tends
to deprive the Indian of the sense of
individual responsibility which it is
one great aim of the government to
inculcate, and that they furnish
bait to unscrupulOus persons who,
usually as attorneys or agents, seek to
get from them in return for real or
pretended services amounts usually
unreasonable and often extortionate.
Moreover, keeping these funds in
lump sums makes impossible de-
finite, business like accounting to the
Indians, and, like tribal lands, the
funds help to perpetuate the Indians
fondness for communal life."
But If these eastern friends of the
redman want to do him service they
will not ask the government to throw
$50, 900, 900 at him at any one time
Such a proceeding would ruin any
tribe, red or white. If the govern
ment has. made a mistake in storing
up too much Indian money that error
cannot be corrected by dynamiting
the dam and letting the coin flow
forth pell nell. The money should
be paid out with discretion for many
a good Indian has been wrecked by
sudden prosperity.
AS to communal life by the Indiana
why worry. White people are NOV
ing in that direction. Why try to
make the Indian go against the cur
rent? When the Indians can gain by
working along communal lines let
them do so. It is impossible for any
one in Boston or elsewhere to mix
a prescription that will be a fine
thing for all Indians. There Is much
difference in Indians.

everywhere. Quite often a man with
reputation for success in the work he
follows, be he farmer, merchant or
what not, can borrow money when
the security he would have aside
from his reputation would be unavail-

Some very chivalric reformer has
brought forth a new scheme for
handling the divorce
Let Them Try evil. His recommen-
1t In Utah. dation is that no man
should be granted a
divorce unless his wife consents to the
decree but that wife be allowed to
secure a divorce at any time for the
mere asking.
To be sure there is something to
be said in favor of such a plan. Under
the working of such a law man
would necessarily become a continu-
Gus wooer. 1t would not be safe for
him to become grouchy and over
bearing for his wife could ring up
the judge and have a divorce sent
around by A. d. T.
Without dwelling upon the other
side of the question the East Oregon
ian will join in the suggestion that
If the scheme is tried the state of
Utah be selected for experimental
purposes.

Rina Settinq From Wife's Ashes.

Preservation of the ashes of the departed or the scattering of them to the four winds long has been the GUS tom Of countries where cremation Is practiced. But it has remained for a London man to offer an ingenious plan that has provided him with a set for a finger ring from the remains of his wife. After the cremation he carried the ashes to 8 chemist and the iron was extracted. He now wears this set in hie ring as the average person wears a diamond. The amount of iron in human body, according to the statement of a well-known analytical chemist, is at best very small-a mat ter of grains-and it varies much ac- cording to the state of health. Anemic people have very slight traces of iron in their bodies, but in normal persons there is enough to provide small setting. such as the London husband is wearing

WONDERFUL VALUE OF MUSIC
Generally Agreed That 1t ls of the Utmost Good In the Scheme
 of Education.

On our plan, song is the first step ih education; all the rest are connect ed with it, and attained by means Of it. The simplest enjoyment, as well as the simplest instruction. we en- liven and impress by song; nay even what religious and moral principles we lay before our children are com municated in the way of song.
 Other advantages for the excite. ment of activity spontaneous arise from this practice; for. in accustom- ing the children to write the tones they are to utter in musical charac- ters, and as occasion serves, again to seek these characters in the utterance of their own voice; and besides this. to subjoin the text below the notes, they are forced to practice hand, ear and eye at once. whereas they acquire the art of penmanship sooner than you would expect: and as all this, i1 the long run. is to be effected by copying precise measurements and accurately settled numbers, they come to conceive the high value of mensur- ation and arithmetic much sooner than in any other way. Among all imaginable things, accordingly, we have selected music as the element Of our teaching; for level roads run out from music toward every side.
