EGYPTIAUS FIRST TO USE WEDDING R1UGS Custom Has Most Interesting History Once Worn on Thumb.

At what period rings were first used Jn the marriage ceremony It Is impossible to say. Their use has been traced back to the early Hebrews, who probably borrowed the custom from the Egyptians, a circle in the language of the hieroglyphics, being a symbol of eternity. Itoth Greeks and Romans used weddlug rings, placing them upon the forefinger. During certain periods of the middle ages cuittom demanded that the ring should cottt as much as-the bridegroom could afford to pay, and caaox are of record in Germany and France of fashionable bridegrooms who made largo expenditures in this direction. The Inevitable reaction came, however, and made the prescribed symbol a plain gold circlet. The materials of which wedding rings have been made are as different as the nations ukIiir them. Kings of bone ami hard wood have been found in Swiss lakes, and others of ivory, copper, brass, lead, tin, iron, silver and gold come to muoenms from various parts of the earth. In the fourteenth century a custom prevailed in Italy of adorning tho ring with a precious stone belonging to the month in which the bride was born. The fancy spread to France, and French bridegrooms would sometimes endeavor to multiply their chances of obtaining the good luck by presenting their brides with twelve rings, one for each month. Indeed, the use of several rings in the marriage ceremony is not at all uncommon. When Mary Htuart was married to Durnlcy, four were placed upon her hand. The Greek church uses two rings, one silver and one of gold, and some districts of Spain jind Portugal prescribe three. Fashion has, of course, determined the finger on which the ring Is to be worn, and so much has it varied that the symbol has traveled from the thumb to the fourth finger. An English .work on etiquette, published in 1732. says that it is the bride's privilege to chooso the finger for her ring. It further states that some prefer the thumb because it is the strongest member of the ha ml; others the Index finger, because at its base ties the "Mount of Jupiter." indicating noble aspirations; others the middle finger, because it is the longest; and still others choose tho fourth, because a "vein proceeds from it to the heart." The left hand receives the wedding ring because it is the emblem of submission, as the right it the authority, the position of the symbol on the left hand of the bride thus indicating subjection to her husband. At least these wire the notions entertained In this regard before the advent of the modern woman.

FIND USE FOR THE HUMBLEPOTATO BUG University Professor Says It Has Proven as Valuable as Guinea Pigs.

Chicago. Juno 3 Tho j)tato bug. once the lowly obj f of tho Hardeners' 4re, to say nothing or hU doadly paris green, has achieved dimity. It now shares with tho puima ji the attention of scientific obs-rv rs, submitting itself to cxperinx M with the flrxility of the larger animal. Now broods of potato bugs have boon dovolnped with all the care thxt :ttoiii.- tho preservation of blue-blooded ' r; i t;s ia prize cattle or thoroughbred horws. Assistant Proiexsor Walter I. Tower, of the University of Chicago, authority on heridity, ir. the loading experimenter with strains of tho potato bug, or as he would say, doryphora decernnoata notarsa. Yesterday, Pii.fc.-Mir Tower illustrated a lecture on 'Variation and Heredity" at tho university with lantern slides, showing some of the now color schemes, as well as physiological changes, which he h:is embodied in families of potato bugs tlirotich successive generations by hybridization or )y modifying the extern;! condition. of otno bug life. Potato buns, unlike anv thins that ever infested a garden before Professor Tower began his experiment, were shown on the screen. Qualities Inheritable. "Crossing brings new attributes which did not rxist in either jaront and which are wholly unknown in n state of nature." Professor Tower declared. "Kven change in environment produces qualities which are Inheritable. Pome of the forms are unbalanced and weak. They do not live Jong. Here ia an example" Professor Tower threw a picture on the screen "of one species which laid only ten or fifteen eggs apiece, Instead or th five or six hundred ordinarily to be e xpected, and lived for only two or three generations. But. the others, which are more significant, brood true generation after generation." One picture showed how the crossing of extreme individuals had almost doubled the natural range of variations among these garden strip- s, solid stripes, stripes cut across mom of them representing color arrangement a unknown to nature but reproduced in the offspring. More striking than the variations In marking were the examples of profound physiological modifications. However, All Varieties Eat. Professor Tower displayed the picture of one bug whose breathing apparatus in" common with that of its descendants, was radically different from that of the natural animal. "I have planted them in many places Tucson, Ariz., Mexico, Yucatan and allowed them to run wild, but the modifications produced continue to persist," he said. The gardener, whether amateur suburban or professional market, will be disappointed to learn fha' Professor Tower has no interest in producing potato bugs which do not ear.

VACATION TIME IS ACCIDENT TIME To be sure the average man needs accident insurance all the time, but especially during his vacation. Then it is that he is exposed to unusual dangers, vigilance is relaxed and a bruise, a sprain or a broken bone results. Aetna policies being the best, are none too good for you. They are issued by the day, week, month or year, and they cost little. E. B. KNOLLENBERG, Agt., 'Phones 20S2 and 1393. Knollenberg Annex.
