MECHANICS AND INVENTION.

The use of betting in driving ma
chinery is discussed by an expert in
the Age of Steel. One point noted is
that a majority of belts are too short
For this the architect of the mill
these fellows who get up blue prints
are generally to blame A belt so
feet long will outlast by far one that
is only % feet. The slack of a belt
will enable it to Withstand and re-
cover from the shock of the variable
load put on them. The additional
cost of a mill arranged for all the
belts to be reasonably long will be
repaid many times over in the saving
of belts, and the loss of valuable time
occasioned by short belts breaking.
Still another cause of belts, and es-
pecially large ones that are hIsed with
a tightener, breaking, is that entirely
too much weight is put on the tighte-
ner-in the tightener boxes. The object
of tightener is to prevent slipping off
the belt. If the tightener is not heavy
enough to prevent this, then a large
box is put on, or adjusted by weights,

pounds OF old castings or brick are
placed to stop the belt from slipping.

weight is often used when 5 pounds

strain night and day.

The F'loridan orange and lemon

CHAPTER II.

1t was not a very eventful life thai
Philip Lynne reviewed on that sum.
mer morning as he travelled from
Severnoke to Bathurst,-a calm, hap.
Ply life of twenty-five years dura-
ton, neither frightened by vivid sun
shine nor darkened by violent storms
His home had been a peaceful one
no dark dull care brooded over it: bul
he remembered how his parents had
struggled to keep up appearances
and to maintain the dignity of their
name and race. His father was the
youngest and only surviving brother
of Lord Lynne. He was not a wealthy
man. He had but a younger brother
portion, and that was not a large one.
He married lady who, though we'll
born and beautiful, had no fortune;
and their union proved a very happy
one, although they had been Obliged
to economist, and deny themselves
sometimes even the comforts of life,
in order that they might live as be-
came the Lynnes of Lynnewold.
No expense had been spared on
Philips education; for although LIS
parents had much ado to keep their
footing in society, he had bright
prospects. He was the heir of his
uncle, the wealthy Lord Lynne of
| Lynnewold.
| There are not many older families
in England than the Lynnes. In the
earliest history of the kingdom they
! figured largely in nearly every reign
One of the bravest knights who
served that brave king, Edward the
| first, was Hubert Lynne of the WoIde,
as their house was then called
Stephen Lynne fought with the Black
Prince, and added fresh laurels to his
name. Henry the Fifth had no drawer
or better soldier than Bertrand the
Strong, Lord of Lynne. In the Ware
of the roses they fought and dis
tinguished themselves. A Lynne
helped to win the battle of Bosworth
Field. At the Field of the Cloth of
Gold Lynne was amongst the hand
soonest and most gallant knights.
The great maiden Queen herself
visited Lynnewolde, where she re-
ceived the homage of the then Lord
Lynne. When Charles the First came
from his prison cell to the scaffold, a
Lynne stood near his royal master
and would gladly have died in his
place. When the "Merrie Monarch"
was welcomed to his throne, none re-
ceived him more joyously than the
Lord of Lynne, who had expended
nearly all his wealth in the service of
his debonnaire sovereign.
But from that time the glory of the
Lynnes faded Whether they were
really impoverished through the i'm
mense sums raised by Richard Lord
Lynne, for the benefit of his royal
master, or whether their zeal died
with the Stuarts, none can say; but
from the reign Of Charles the Sec
ond there is no more mention of them,
at least in public history. In the
private annals of the family there is
record of each Lord Lynne who
lived and died at Lynnewolde.

mandment, while the death rate is re-
markedly high among Methodist
clergymen. Annuitants, as a class,
live from three to five years longer
than other people, and this is not due
to human perversity, as some humor-
lists have suggested. 1t is undoubtedly
due to the lack of worry regarding the
changes of fortune when a regular in
come is a certainty. Although no sta
tistics have been collected on the death
rate in the civil service, where the
yearly income almost partakes of the
character of an annuity, it would per-
haps be found that there is some scien-
tific basis for President Grant cynical
observations regarding this class:
Few die and none resign" 1t has
also been observed that the greatest
number of deaths occur between the
hours of three and six in the morning

to be settled by the council of Nice.
day. In obedience to royal command,
31S bishops and some 1000 inferior
celirs assembled at Nice in Bithynia.
The first sessions met in the church
and as the council continued it's work
the place of meeting was transferred
to the imperial palace, where special
apartments were reserved for this au-
gust body. The main trouble was be-
tween the Jewish christians and the
Gentle christians.
On the fourteenth day of the first
lunar month the Jews observed with
all the solemnity and regard for the
Mosaic law the Feast of the Passover;
thus they celebrated the death of
Christ as represented by the Paschal
Lamb. The first Sabbath after the
fourteenth day of the March moon the
GENTLE christians celebrated with joy
Gus religious services the resurrection
of Christ. Neither sect would recog-
nize the others festive day, and the
Council of Nice was greatly perplexed
as how best to please all parties.
After continuing their debates, pro
and con, for several months, the eccle-
siastical dignitaries announced that
the bitterly waged war of dispute was
settled. Easter day was for all time
to be the first Sabbath Immediately
following the fourteenth day Of the
March moon. By this arrangement
the world may celebrate Easter, justly
called the queen of festivals, as early
as March %, and again it may not ar
rive until April 25, when nearly the en-
tire earth is fragrant with spring buds
and blossoms.
The word Easter is derived from a
Pagan goddess of the early Teutons
! called Ostera. The German word fol
| Easter is Ostern, but some philologists
maintain that both the German and
English wor1s come from the ancient
Saxon word Oster, or Osten, meaning
rising" Ostera, the German goddess
was credited with being the personifi
cation of the morning, and Of the East
and also of the opening year.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1899-03-30

Ostera was Worshiped very generally
in northern Germany, and it is be-
ieved that the fame of the goddess
spread to England, where the Saxons
joined in wOrshiping her. Until the
beginning of the present century court
was paid to Ostera by the kindling of
great bonfires and in other ways, and
even today in some of the remote dis
tricts where many superstitious beliefs
are treasured by the peasantry the
fame of Ostera still lives.
The early Christians made the East
er celebration extend over a period Of
eight days, but in the eleventh century
the festival was reduced to three days,
and later to one day. In olden days
Faster was the popular time for bap-
tlsm. The law courts were shut ana
the poor and needy were Toasted re-
gally in the churches, a custom that
was much abused and which led TO
great disorder. Slaves were Temporal
rily free, the people gave themselves
up to hilarity and all sorts of enjoy
ment. Popular sports and dances
were ADDED, and the joyous solemnity
Of the day babe fair to be ruined.
Indeed, there soon came to be added
farcical exhibitions, in which the
clergy Joined, doing and saying all
sorts of ridiculous things in their pull
pits, just to make their hearers laugh
"a ribaldry that the learned fathers
call ''risus paschalis." The custom be-
came so indecent that the reformers OF
| the sixteenth century declared war up
on it and succeeded in stamping out
| the sacrilege.
While many curious observances
cluster about Easter, the egg as an
emblem of resurrection was, and is
most generally used by all nations
De Gebelin has connected it with the
ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks
and Romans, and DR.. Schwartz finds
that it was customary among the Par.
sees to distribute red eggs at theil

tered the room hastily. saying that
the carriage was waiting.
''Good-by." said Philip to the young
girl, my regret at leaving you is
lessened by the hope of being allowed
TO see you soon again.
If Philip Lynne could but have fore
seen where and how he would see that
beautiful young girl next-if she hao
known how many years would pass
before her hand touched his again
before she would see his face or hear
his voice, she would not have parted
with him so cherfully.
Twice that morning Philip Lynne
had been on the point of proposing
for Lady Florence,-once to her
father, and once to herself; but each
time a sudden and accidental inter.
ruptlon prevented the words from be-
ing spoken that would have bound
him to her for life In after years he
wondered much what his life would
have been had he quilted Severnoke
Castle as the betrothed husband of
Flornce Wyverne.
There was not much time for
thought In two minutes after Philip
Lynne had said good-by to Lord
Wyverne's daughter he was on his
way to the station.
1t was not until Philip was seated
in the train that he had time to re-
view at leisure the events that had
happened, and to speculate upon the
future that lay before him.
