The Marriage Ring.

Among the questions often asked is one
of the significance OF the marriage ring.
Blunt says the use of the ring in marriage
was probably adopted by the early Eng
lish Church from the marriage customs
which were familiar TO Christians in their
previous life as Jews or heathen. A ring,
or something equivalent, seems TO have
been given at marriage by the man 10 the
woman from patriarchal days. AS TO the
significance ofthe ring. II being gold and
having neither beginning nor end, is not
token and pledge Of the vow and COW
enant made in marriage, but also SYM
Dol OF the purity and unbroken conStancy
with which the VOW should be "surely
performed and kept"
The ancient custom Of the Church OF
England was for the bridegroom 10 place
lhe ring upon the brides thumb, saying,
"In the name OF the Father" then upon
the second finger, as he said, land OF the
Son." then upon the third, saying, land
of the Holy Ghost" and finally upon the
fourth finger, saying, "Amen." 1t was an
old belief that a particular vein proceeded
from the fourth finger to the heart.

The ResourcefuI Winter Moth.

England's winter moth is one OF the
greatest pests with which the fruit grow
ers of that country have to contend. 1t
begins TO appear in October, and the fe-
male, whose wings are very short and
quite unadapted TO flight, climbs the trunks
OF the fruit trees and deposits her eggs.
Thesehatch out in the spring, and the
caterpillars soon devour the young leaves.
Heretofore il has been comparatively easy
10 combat the ravages of the pest. See
ing that the female is unable TO fly, fruit
growers place bands ola sticky substance
round each tree. The female, in climb
ing the trunk, comes TO the band, and is
held fast.
But wonderful thing has happened,
says the Manchester (England) Guardian.
In recent years the female moth has been
found from time TO time above the band,
and how she got there was a mystery.
Finally, however, an chronological ex-
pert unveiled it. He saw the male and
female moths together above the band on
the hee-the male evidently having just
deposited the female.
There appears to be little doubt, adds
the Guardian. that in this We have re-
markable adaptation TO circumstances.
The female cannot fly, but the male can,
and it would seem that he had flown TO
the higher part OF the tree, carrying his
wife upon his back. This is one OF the
most striking discoveries in natural his
tory, and is creating much interest among
nature students.

A Fractured Hip.

One OF the most serious accidents that
can befaI the aged is broken hip, by
which we mean fracture OF the upper
most portion, or neck, OF the thigh bone.
II is also an accident TO which the aged
are very liable, owing TO certain changes
in The shape and consistency OF the bone
that are incidental TO old age. The bones
OF the aged are more brittle than those oil
young persons, because the proportion
of mineral matter in the bone increases
with age, and the unfriable organic frame
work OF the bones is corespondingly di-
minished. The bone, therefore, breaks
readily-just as pIpestem can be broken
with a tap that would have no effect on
green twig OF the same size.
All the bones OF the old suffer in This
way; but the upper extremity OF the
thigh bone is especially liable to fracture
because OF its shape. In youth, the neck
OF the thigh bone leads off from the shaft
at an obtuse angle, so that the weight OF
the body is transmitted in an almost di-
rect line to the legs. In the aged, how
ever, il projects more at right angle, so
that the weight of the body must be sup
ported by only one side Of the neck OF
the bone. That, OF course, makes The
bone break more easily when itbears the
shock OF a fall.
Finally, a hip fracture in the aged does
not heal well. There is very little vital
ity in the bone, and il is extremely diiil-
cult, and sometimes impossible, to set
such fracture, for the small, broken-otf
end down in the cavity OF the hip Joint
eludes every effort 10 control its move
ments. Formerly an old person with a
fractured hip was put 10 bed with splinls'
and weight attached TO his leg, and as
the fracture seldom or never healed, that
meant that he was bedridden for the rest
OF his life. In many cases, now, the ply
sician does moi Try TO unite the fragments
OF bone; but after the shock and soreness
of the accident have subsidized, the patient

the general health is fairly well main

a cripple, at least he is not bedridden.
