substantial Improvements than this, during

DEVERNA-SCHUL the resi-
Gence of the brides parents, in Perrys-
burg Twp, by Rev. q. A. Adams, Mr..
FRANK II. DEVERNA and Miss LOUISE
SCHULTZ.
The above occasion drew ;ogethern large
number of relatives and friends. The
young couple were supported by Mr.. Ed
WARD DEVERNA, Jr., to blush for the
groom and Miss MINNIE SCHULTZ to trem-
BILE for the bride. After they had been pro-
nounced man and wife by the aged rever-
end, Mr.. DEVERNA, Sr., read poem
which was written by himself and dedica-
ted to the newly welded pair. The poem
was well written, sparkled with WI, and
full OF good sound advice for the happy
twain who were just launched upon The sea
of matrimony-a new life, as it we're, TO
them. Immediately following this Rev.
ADAMS, in behalf OF the groonl's parents,
presented the young husband with the
deed Of well-improVed 60 acre farm, as
wedding present.
Following this came the supper. And
1t was here that the mothers Of the bride
and groom showed their ability. The sup
per was feast, and We reporter, who al
ways supports an admirable appetite
showed his ability by relieving the over,
burdened tables Of large portion of the
choicest cakes, meats, fruits, confectionery
and in fact everything one could wish for
Mr.. DEVERNA and his young bride
started Mt 10 o'clock the same evening iol
Chatham, Ontario, where they will remain
a short time, and from there to Niagara
thence East, expecting to return in abou
three weeks. All united in wishing then
a prosperous and happy journey througl

The latest reviewer OF the origin of the
gypsies states that Europe probably con-
tains 200. 900, Of which Roumania has
from POO, 900 to 900, 900. They are very
numerous in Persia, Armenia, Asiatic Tur-
key and Egypt. The gypsy calls himself
Rom, man or husband, and everybody
else Gaie, alien. One writer derives this
name from the Indian God Rama, another
from the Sanskrit donna, lOw-caste musi-
clan. There is no evidence beyond our
word, which is alike in both languages, that
the gypsIes were originally Egyptian, not
withstanding the belief to that effect in the
middle ages. Sinte, name for the gypsies
of Germany, has been connected with the
Sandskrit Sindhu, Indus, and with the
Sinties-men of Homer and StrabO. The
Magyars and Turks thought the Egyptians.
and called them PharOh's men, while the
Scandinavians thought them Tartars, and
the French confused them with Bohemians.
The etymOlOgies proposed for their various
names in different countries are countless.
Gypsies seem TO have existed here and there
in Western Europe for many centuries pre-
vious to 1888, but in that year they appeared
in great numbers, their bands headed by
counts dukes and even kings Re
ceived partly with fear, partly with curiosity,
they spread over all the lands, and were
particularly well treated in Scotland, but
the next century saw them prescribed, de
ported, and hanged for refusing to accept
banistmcnt In Austria they were falsely
accused of murders and cannibalism, many
being tortured, hanged and burned Com
paratively recent research has settled the
fact that the gypsies are of Indian origin,
the thirteen dialects Of Europe being siml-
| lar among themselves and related very
closely to dialects of Upper India now
spoken. Philologists are not decided when
to place the departure of the gypsies from
their sister tribes in India. The presence
of Persian and Armenian words proves thai
they must have Stopped long in Asia Minor;
the absence of Arabic words, that they did
not reach Europe by way Of the Balkan
peninsula Every dialect has long list OF
Greek words testlfying to long residence
among GTeek-speaking people Slavonic
elements are equally strong. 1t is possible
that many of the fOlk-tales current in Euro
pean countries were introduced by the gyp-
sizes, although some argue that the sypsies
have them at second hand. While authori-
ties agree on the likeness between the gypsy
and the Indian dialects, it is by no means
settled to which they are most closely
allied. An attempt has been made to
identify them absolutely with the Jats, of
whom the Punjaub has more than mill
ion. 1t may turn out that India has gyp-
sizes ike other lands and that the theory of
Battaillard is correct, which tries to prove
that gypsies have existed in Europe from
time immemOrial.

Timber Culture.

We feel sure that the subject OF timber
culture does not engage the attention OF
the public as its merits demand. The an
nual consumption Of railroad ties alone Is
over 40, 900, 900. 1t requires thirty years
growth to produce the average railroad tie.
There is over 90, 900 miles of railroad in
this country; making over $50, 900 miles OF
fencing. which cost over $50, 900, 900, and
over Sl5, 600, 900 annually for repair. We
have over rs, 900 miles of telegraph wires,
which require over 800, 900 telegraph posts,
and the annual repair takes 10000 more.
But, if we should go on and enumerate the
amount required for farm fencing, build
ings. nrick-burning (Which requires 2, 600,
900 cords a year., matchmaking, shoe
pegs, furniture making, saddle-tree making,
packing-boxes, scythe and tool handles OF
all kinds, wagons, carriages. agricultural
| implements, and re-wood, it would swell
the grand total at least $500, 900, 900 an
nuallv. And, notwithstanding this great
demand and shortened supply, The havoc
Of lumber-destroylngi is going on Just a:
rapidly as ever. The time is coming wher
this wholesale destruction will be regretted.
The supply will lie exhausted; and then Il
will take more than fifty years to restore it
at great expense and labor. The supply
thereafter can never be made to eoua,, III
demand for Il. Those who will now turi
their attention TO timber culture and 10 tn
preservation of what timber they haze
will receive big reward IN the nes
future,

A Historic Desk.

Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, in the course
of the Centennial Grafton delivered by him
on the Fourth Of July, 1876, in Music hall,
Boston, exhibited to the audience the
writing desk upon which the Declaration
of independence was written, and the
thoughts suggested by this interesting his
torical relic formed one of the most eio-
quent passages of his oration. He con-
cluded his allusion TO this desk with these
words: ''Long may it find its appropria-
ate and appreciating ownership IN the sue
cessive generations of a family in which
the blood of Virginia and Massachusetts, is
so auspiciously commingled. Should it in
the LAPSE of years ever pass from the hands
of those to whom it will be so precious an
heirloom, it could only have its fit and final
place umong the choicest and most cher
ished treasures of the nation, with whose
title deeds of independence it is so proudly
associated" On recent visit to Wash
ingtOn, Mr.. Winthrop took the occasion to
call at the executive mansion to Gehver
personally TO the president, as gift to the
United states, the little mahogany desk on
which Mr. jefferson wrote the Declaration
of Independence. 1t was presented in the
name of the children of the late Mr.. Joseph
Coolidge of Boston, 10 whom it was given
by jefferson himself in 1926, whose grand
daughter Mr.. Coolidge had married, and
has an autograph inscription as follows ::
Thomas Jefferson gives this writing
desk to Joseph Coolidge, Jr., as memo
rial of his affection. 1t was made from Il
drawing of his own by Ben Randall, cabi-
net maker, of Philadelphia, with whom he
first lodged on his arrival in that city in
May, 1916, and is the Identical one on
which he wrote the Declaration of Inde-
pendencc. Politics as well as religion has
Its superstitions. These, gaining strength
with time. may one day give imaginary
value to this relic for its association with
the birth of the great charter of our indie
pendence." This desk will be deposited
in the fire proof library of the State de-
dartment, where are kept the original draft
of. the declaration, written on this desk,
and the engrossed copy which was signed
by the members of the Continental Con-
] 1r1Ss
