CF lib DDllllG RING.
(3.5 EKS GAVE IT A SIGNIFICANCE AS
A TOKEN 0F AFFECTION.
To the Jews It. Owes Its Prominence
In the Marriage Service—Some Early
. Custmns and Beliefs—The Glmrnnl. or
Linked lung—Its Use In Ireland.
From an early period the ring has
been associated with mysticism. Its
cii cular continuity made it asceptable as
a type of eternity, hence it is regarded as
a token of lasting affection.
Although primitive nations lavishly
displayed rings, yet they appear to have
been little valued until the Greeks,
noted for their originality and sentiment,
gave them a deeper significance. Thus
from the most imaginative people that
the world has ever known, the ring
came into use as a gift of love or a sign
of betrothal, but it is to the Jews that
we owe the prominence given, even to-
day, to the ring in the marriage service.
The ring used was sometimes very large
and elaborate, artistically fashioned of.
filigree, and richly enameled. Upon it
in Hebrew characters were the words
“Joy be with you.”
In accordance with the Jewish law
this ring had to be of a certain value,
and was therefore carefully examined by
the rabbi and chief ofiicers of the syna-
gogue when presented by the bridegroom.
When it was ascertained that the ring
was the absolute property of the bride-
groom, and had not been obtained by
credit or gift, he placed it on the bride’s
finger and declared that " by this means
she was consecrated to him. The action
was so binding that were there no other
ceremony performed neither party could
contract another union without legal di-
vorCe.
The invention, in the , Sixteenth cen-
tury, of the gimmal or linked ring,
gave still greater importance to the an-
cient sacred custom. It was made with
a. double triple link, which turned upon
a pivot and could be shut up into one
solid ring. To the side of each outer
hoop a small hand was attached, each
fitting into the other as'the hoops were
brought together, and enclosing a heart
affixed to the central notched ring. At
a betrothal the three parts were broken
asunder over the Bible, sometimes in the
presence ’of a witness, when the man
and‘woman broke the upper and lower
rings from the central one, which was
kept by the witness. At the marriage
rite the three portions were once more
united and the complete ring then used
in the ceremony.
- The custom of wearing the wedding
ring on the third finger of the left hand
originated from an old, belief that from
this finger a nerve went direct to the
heart. So completely was this capricious
bit of physiology confided in by the
Greeks and Romans that the “ ring ” or
“ feeble finger ” was termed the medical
or healing finger by their physicians,
who used it to stir their mixtures, be-
lieving that nothing hurtful could touch
it without giving immediate warning by
a palpitation of the heart.
The clasped hands adopted on the
gimmal rings became an emblem on the
solid wedding ring, and this style of
ring is still in use in the odd local com-
munity of fishermen living in the Clad-
dagh at Galway, on the western coast of
Ireland. They number with their
families about 5,000 or 6,000, are very
exclusive in their tastes and habits, and
rarely intermarry with other than their
own people; with them the wedding
ring is an heirloom, regularly trans-
ferred from the mother to the
daughter who is first married, and
so on through her descendants. Many
of these rings are very old, and in these
older designs the hands support a crowned
heart, emblematic of the married state.
Within the hoop. of the ring it is cus-
tomary to inscribe a motto, usually con-
sisting of a simple sentiment, sometimes
expressed in commonplace rhyme. One
of the most whimsical of these in-
scriptions was used by Dr. J. Thomas,
Bishop of Lincoln. who had been mar-
ried three times. On his fourth marriage
he placed the following inscription on
the wedding ring:
“ If I survive,
I’ll make them five.”

Sores All Over Her Body. Suffering
Endless. Doctor Useless. Cured
in 4 “looks by Cutlcura.
Your most valuable CurrcunA Rnxnmxs have
done my little girl so much good that I feel like
saying this for the benefit of those who are troubled
with skin diseases. She was troubled with itching,
burning sores. WhenI
took her to the doctor
the first timc,be called it
the Italian itch, and said
he would cure her' in two
weeks. When the two
weeks were up. he called
it eczema, and in that
r time she was worse than
before. He doctore‘d her
for three months,aud she
was so bad that we did
' not know what to do.
- He did not do her any
good. I saw the adver-
' tisement of Currcuns
3sxzp1ns' 1n the paper, and I said to my wife, “ I am
going to try them.’ Mind what I say, she was so
thick with sores that we had to soak her clothes to
take them off. Itch! there was no end to it She
had it all over her body. back, legs, arms, in be
tween her fingers. She did not have it on her head.

"""(-e-dlll.ll-.-.l.1\n .
-But after taking your Curicuru Runnmns for t“ 0
weeks the itch stopped, and' 1n four weeks the sores
were all gone. I enclose her portrait. I am more
thin pleased with our Curicuns Rnuxnms, as
they speedily cure my daughter, and if anybody
asks me about your remedies, I will uphold them
whereverl go. CHARLES M. GRON'EL
