The First Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring, according to Henry
Swinburne of the seventeenth century, was
first designed by Prometheus and fashioned
out of adamant and iron by Tubal Cain.
He says that it was given by Adam to his
son to this end, that Herewith he should
espouse n WIFE Men were, as all women
know, deceivers ever, and some of these I'M
scrupulous creatures were wont TO wed
with rings made of PUSHES imagining them
to be less binding than a strong and valu-
able ring. The bishop of Salisbury, how
ever, stepped in and forbade this practice in
1917.
Silver was more frequently used than
gold for wedding rings, and they were
made in all kinds of shapes, some twisted,
like two Joined hands, or a pair of hearts
stuck through with an arrow Often they
were adorned with precious stones and
had 'posies is, scraps of verse-in-
side, such as:
Fortune doth send you, hap it well or Ill,
This plain gold ring to wed you to your Will.
In these days gold ring is considered so
essential to the validity of marriage that
tradesman in a market town some years
ago materially added to his income by let
ting out rings to the poor people for their
wedding day.-New York Sun.

The Trianons at Versailles are more close

1t was there also that she developed her
passion for gambling, for lavishing extrava-

outrageous fashions and headdresses, like
the "ques a-cos, or NEUROLOGICAL edi6ces.
But as a skillful horSewoman she delight

the graceful refinement of the boudoir at

The Tibro;ncfCr.

The vibrometer, which il claimed to make
the deaf hear, is in shape and size very
much like an ordinary banjo, with circular
sounding board and extended string board
a small electric motor transmits by suit
able mechanism series of rapid taps or
vibrations to the sounding board, and these
are conveyed to the ear by tubes, the same
as in the phonograph. The attachment by
which the vibration is produced can be ad-
justed TO different beverages, so as to vary
its intensity, and can be regulated at from
l to 25 vibratory movements per second a
speed which is only used in very bad cases.
A special treatment is involved in the
use of the strings of the instrument, which
are vibrated by the revolution of a wheel
studded with metallic picks. In applying
these musical vibrations to the ear of the
patient the tone selected must correspond
in pitch to that caused by the diseased con-
ditions of the ear. In other words, there is
always a special note, the vibrations of
which are more beneficial than others to
the abnormal ear, and a primary consid-
Grafton is TO determine this note 1t is a
question of responsive vibration, illustra-
tions of which all instrumentalists are ia
miliar with. If there is no tinuitus or ring
ing noise to guide the practitioner he finds
whether the patient can hear high or low
sound, and high rate of vibration is used
in treatment and vice versa
The class of patients who are Immediately
benefited by the vibratory treatment are
those in whom the mucous membrane lining
the tympanic cavity and eustachian tubes
is in a hypertrophic or morbidly enlarged
condition.-New York Telegram.

Microscopic Penmanship.

The subject of microscopic workmanship
readily divides itself into two classes-pen-
manship and mechanical construction His
tory has handed down to us many exam
pies of this form of caligraphic mania, of
which the chief symptom is a desire to
compress the greatest number of words
into the smallest possible space.
Pliny the Younger declares that Cicero
once saw the Iliad written so small that it
could be inclOsed in a walnut shell. This
affirmation was regarded as improbable
until the seventeenth century, when Huet,
bishop of Avranches, France, an excellent
Greek scholar, proved that it could be ac-
complished.
The Gospel of ST. John and the Acts of
the Apostles were written within the cir
conference of a farthing in the sixth cen
tury by an Italian monk.-Boston Com

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
IS thoroughly complete with vesti-
Duled trains. magnificent dining
ears, sleepers and chair coaches. all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
4 task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
statiOn, close to Worlds Fair
gIoands, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
md avoid the crowd in the city.

Early Mention of Niagara Falls.

The first historical notices of Niagara
falls are given in Lescarbot's record of the
second voyage of jacques Cartier, in the
year 1885 On the maps published to Illus
trate Champlain's discoveries date of maps
either 1913 or 1910 tie falls are indicated
by a cross, but no description of the won
derful cataract is given, and the best geo
graphical authorities living today doubt if
the explorer mentioned ever saw the falls,
Brinson's work to the contrary notwith-
standing. Father Hennepin is believed TO
have written the first description of the
falls that was ever penned by one who had
personally visited the spot The editor
owns map dated 1867 which does not fig
ure either the great lakes or the falls.-St

TIC Cost OF .Iarniscence.

There have been times when a court was
splendid and nearly starving. but all that
has passed away, probably forever The
prince of today who is to be magnificent at
ali must pay away money at every turn
and always be ready with more.
Everything costs, from the special train
which secures punctuality and freedom
from pressure TO the rooms which loyal or
hospitable crowding render exceptionally
dear.
1t is all very well to speak of such good
management, and OF course there is no such
thing, and it is worth perhaps 80 per cent
Of additional income, but no extent OF good
management will reduce the cost of any
kind OF magnificence or do away with the
feeling of the innkeeper who charged a
royal guest a franc apiece for eggs, not be
cause eggs were scarce, but because kings
were.
We have heard of charges paid by an In
dian viceroy al Paris hotel which would
have made Mr.. Vanderbilt vince. and there
IS not an uneducated man in any land who,
if prince disputes his charges, does not
:henceforward become a republican.
Nor within limits is this feeling altogeth-
er unreasonable, for the demands of princes,
which are usually only demands for free
dom, upset the usual routine. just as the
queens train, though her majesty asks
only little extra security and some pri-
vacy, upsets the routine traffic on the great
railway by which she travels
Moreover, though extravaganza is a vice,
economy Is often foible, and one rather
sympathizcs with the hint given by the
noble who assisted Louis Philippe in his
search after a lost sovereign by lighting a
bank note. state, in fact, in orr day costs
money, and 1t Is rs expensive TO be a prince,
