Why Is the third finger of the left
hand always the wedding finger?
This explanation given by an anat-
omist may be considered as good as
any:
1t is the only finger where two prin-
eipal nerves belong to two distinct
trunks; the thumb is supplied with its
principal nerves from the radial nerve.
as are also the forefnger, the middle
finger, and the thumb side of the ring
finger, while the ulnar nerve furnishes
the little finger and the other side of
the ring finger, at the point of extrem-
ity of which a real union takes place
it seems as if it were intended by ma
ture to be the matrimonial finger.
That the side of the ring finger next
to the little finger is supplied by the
ulnar nerve frequently proved by q
common accident, that of striking the
elbow against the edge of a chair. {

| if the ulnar nerve is struck, a thrilling
sensation is felt in the little finger an,

The new tariff act. if it goes through.

prove satisfactory to the country, it
will insure to the Democrats a long
lease of power, especially with their
opponents divided. Only criminal blum
dering could unseat them. On the
other hand, if as Republicans and Pro
gressives believe, the bill is unsound in
theory and will prove disastrous in
operation, the effect will be to unity

they can make an Improvement anoth-

an imperfect idea of the size of Brat

shown at all, nor is there anything on

be still further need of alterations and
