Fifty Years Courtship.

We recently spoke of the marriage of
John Griswold Rogers, aged IS, and
Eliza Denison Griswold, aged 70. at
SankapOgue, after the somewhat pro
longed courtship of fifty years, and now
the editor of the Winsted Herald tells
what he knows about it. "Lest any of
our readers might think the above story
mere invention, we will say that we
know it to be literally true. The bride
has lived all her life in the house next
the one in which the editor of this paper
was born land he is no spring chicken)
and resided during the first four mo-
mentous years of his life; and among his
earliest recollections is that of the low
hung, brass mounted swallow-tail of
this identical 'luvyer' as it followed its
wearer past sour house to make the
regular Sunday evening visit to this
identical maid. Unless we are greatly
in error, the father of the Herald edi-
tor, the late Rev. 81. L. VAIL being
then pastor of the church in East Lyme,
published the constant couple about
the year 1882 or 1888, and the wedding
was expected to take place Immediately
thereafter. And, so far as we know,
there never was any misunderstanding
or unpleasantness, or milf, or flare up,
that can be assigned as the cause of the
delay. Theyhave always been considered
engaged, both by themselves and the
neighbors and during visit to East
Lyme, not so very long ago, we were in
formed that this ancient beau still made
his every other Sunday evening call, and
had hardly failed to do so single fort
night for sixty years If all followed
their example there would not be so
much unhappiness resulting from hasty
marriages. "-Sorinatield (Mass.) Re
publican.

About Newspapers.

Mr.. B. W. Williams, manager of the
American Lecture Bureau, delivered an
interesting lecture, last evening, upon
the newspaper press. Mr. Williams was
formerly connected with the Boston press.
and familiar with the details of q daily
newspaper Office. The lecturer com
menced with sketch of the history of
printing, the youngest of the sisterhood
OF arts, tracing the progress from picture
writing, which led to hieroglyphics. then
to an arbitrary character for word until
letters were used in the formation of
words as at the present time. The
speaker also gave an interesting history
of the progress from manuscript to the
printed page until the era of the news
paper. The first series of weekly news
papers was published in 1922, the first
attempt at parliamentary reporting was
made in 1641, the first advertisement
was inserted in 1913, the first paper pro-
duced in England was the English Mer-
catrie, published in London on the 29th
of July, 1858. The first attempt at news
paper publishing in the United States
was in Boston, on the 25th of September,
1890; only one number appears to have
been issued, for the Colonial Legislature
declared its publication contrary to law.
and that it contained reflections of very
high nature. The first regular news
paper published in the city was the Bos-
ton Nevs Letter, the first number of
which appeared April "a, 17O4. -Four
years after the office was destroyed by
the great fire in Boston, but the paper
appeared the following week as usual,
though it was sometimes fifteen months
in arrears in the publication of foreign
news. In December, 1719, the publica-
ton of the Boston Gazette was COM
menced and continued for eighty years,
expiring with the century and leaving q
revered and honored name.
The first number of the NeaO England
Coura1,t was published Aug. II, 1921.
Subsequently James Franklin was i'm
prisoned for publishing paper in which
"the Holy Scriptures were profanely
abused" and the name of Benjamin
Franklin, then only Il years of age, took
it's place at the head of the columns
Eight different weekly papers appeared
between the years 1927 and III, when
the first number of the Massachusetts
Spy appeared, dated March 7. tits now
the Oldest paper in the State. The first
daily newspaper in the world was the
Daily Coura1t, of London, published in
1902, and the first daily in America was
the Pennsylvania Packet or General
AdUertise7., issued from 1854 to 1897
Mr.. Williams then gave sketch Of the
manner in which a daily paper is con-
Quoted, entering quite infinitely into the
mysteries and details of the editorial and
mechanical Gepartments as well as the
telegraphic wonders of the modern daily

False Motions.

1t Is not slways those who seem most
busy who accomplish the most work.
This was illustrated the other day in a
very forcible manner
The foreman of one of our large news
paper offices was showing gentleman.
who knew nothing about the printing
business, over the establishment. In
the composing room he watched with
wonder and admiration the thousands of
little bits of metal passing with a steady
click, click, like the noise of piece of
machinery, into the polished sticks
which the oompositors held in their
hands. The foreman asked him to point
out the man whom he considered the
fastest compositor
The gentleman answered: ''That is
easily done; that tall young fellow over
there seems to set twice as much as any
one in the room. His hands go about
SO fast that can scarcely follow his mo-
tons"
Wrong" said the foreman, "your
fastest compositor is that quiet looking
young man by the side of the one you
have pointed out.
He seems very slow and deliberate"
said the visitor; " his hands do not move
nearly SO fast as those of his neighbor.
1t cannot be possible that he sets more
type"
g It is true" replied the foreman.
The secret is that he picks up a type
every time he goes for it. The other
man makes what we call false motions:
his hand goes twice to the case for a
type, and though he seems to be doing
great deal of work, his stick fills slowly
in comparison with that of his deliberate
neighbor, who never hurries, uses Just
the amount of action sufficient to
accomplish his purpose, and does not
set one muscle In motion unneces-
sarily."
Half, more than half of the energy
used in the world is expended in false
motions. Men dash about in a great
hurry as if they had all the business of
the cltyon their shoulders, and at the end
of the day find they have accomplished
about one hours solid work. Get
your eye well on an object, think
little and then go for it. One shot
for which a steady aim is taken viii
accomplish more than volley at ran
DOM
Take things easily; as the song says
It's always best to take things in a
quiet sort of way" The amount of
strength expended in false motions
would be enough to place every one in
the world beyond the reach of want
could it be utilized
Keep cool, don't fume and fret and
bother yourself, but think how thing
is to be done and then do it. Avoid
false notions" let every move Won
make mean something, and be an 3 ad-
vance toward the end you seek. Make
as many friends in your progress, too,
as you can, and no enemies. Cincinnati

Geographical Changes in Europe.

The researches made by M. Levasseur
as to the relative extent of territory and
population of France, England, Prussia,
Austria, Germany, and Russia at the
beginning OF the eighteenth century, and
the subsequent increase or decrease,
give an idea of the changes which have
since occurred in the positions of what
were then the six great European powers.
In 100 France had a territory of
493, 900 square kilometres; Great Britain.
313,0 900; Prussia, 10000; Austria.
51O, 900; Germany, 0,OOO; and Russia,
1912, OOO-their respective populations
being: France, 1O,OOO,O 900; Great
Britain, 100000; Prussia, 1900. 900:
Austria, $4,000, 900; Germany, 100000
600; and Russia, 100000. In 1889
France had $4,000 square kilometres
and population of 26,00O,00O Prussia
had IN the meanwhile doubled both her
territory and population, while the other
powers had made o considerable stride
IN population, but had remained rela-
lively stationary in regard to territory.
After the vlcissitudes of the Revolu-
ton and the Empire, France found her
self, IN 1915, with only 5000 square
kilometres less than in 1889, and popu-
lation of 100000. Prussia, in the
meanwhile, had again doubled both her
territory and population, which stood at
28O, 900 square kilometres and 1O. 500. 600.
Austria had 665,OOO square kilometres
and 100000 Inhabitants Germany,
$50, 900 square kilometres and 80, 900. 600
inhabitants; Great Britain, whose SUI
perfices had remained unaltered, had a
population of 100000; and Russia
had increased her size to $4,000
square kilometres and population of
45, 900, 900.
The France Of to-day, setting off the
gain of Savoy and Nice against the loss
OF Alsace and Lorraine, has $50. 600
square kilometres 5000 more than
IN lol5-with a population of IS, 900, 900.
Prussia has territory of 352, 900 square
kilometres and "a, 900, 900 inhabitants;
Austria has $4,000 square kilometres
and $4,000 900 inhabitants while Seer
many" stands at 554, 900 and 40, 900, 600
inhabitants. The population Of Great
Britain has nearly doubled since 1915,
and Russia numbers 100000 upon
the 5,559,000 square kilometres of her
territory. Italy, whose existence as one
power is only of recent date, has now
296, 900 square kilometres and 20, 500, 900
