A Pretty Royal Custom.

a pretty custom dating from the
wedding of the late Queen Victoria
has ever since pertained TO the royal
family. a sprig OF myrtle which
formed a part OF the brides wreath
was carefully cultured, and in due
time planted out. When the princess
royal was married sprigs were cut
for her bridal wreath from this myr-
tie tree. The princess, following her
mothers example, had one of the
sprigs cared for till it became a full
sized tree, which served for her
daughter-in-law's wreath at the we'd
ding of the present emperor of Ger
many. The custom was observed in
the marriage of the Prince of Wales
and all other of Queen Victoria's chill
dren and grandchildren. There is al
ready, as the result of this charming
custom. the making of grove Of
myrtle trees. Other royal customs at
tached TO the marriage of the royal
family relate TO the bouquet and the
wedding cake. Ever since the mar
riage Of Queen Victoria a firm of
Windsor florists have had the honor
of presenting the one, a Chester con-
fectioner finding the other. neither

Telephones can be very treacherous

the prince of Wales, the king,
was at a public dinner at which he
was 10 speak. During the meal he
told an equerry TO send for book,
10 which he wished 10 refer for fact,
from Marlborough house. The equerry
gave the necessary instructions, and
the hotel manager rang the royal res
idence up on the telephone. After he
had made himself understood there
was pause of many minutes. He
rang again, then again, until at last
losing all patience he literally shout
ed: Are you there? What the -
do you mean by keeping his royal
highness waiting? Can you find the
book or not?" To his angry expos

When, presently, she makes the discov-

about for help. She dislikes to see the
physician, she shrinks from talking to
stranger of the intimate matters of her
vomsn's life, and when at last misery
drives her to the doctor, her modesty is

EARTHQUAKE RECORDS.
Are Carefully Kept from All Points
by New Seismoeraph.

We have lately heard much of the
wonderful manner in which earth
quake disturbances are registered
very often at places remote from
their center of activity. Thus the
seismograph invented by Prof John
Milne, and kept at has home in the
Isle of Wight, has been known to re-
cord earth vibrations which had their
origin AT the other Size of the world.
The main feature of the instrument
is slender rod of steel about yard
long, which is attached to a solid
upright, the two being arranged like
a mast and boom of a ship. At the
ends of this delicately balanced hori-
zontal rod or pendulum is a tiny plate
of brass with a slit in it parallel with
the boom itself. This crosses n SINH
lar slit at right angles to it in the top
of box which contains slowly
travelling ribbon OF sensitive photo
graphic paper, and by means of O.
lamp and mirror a beam of light is
sent through the crossed Sits onto
the paper below. So long as the boom
remains perfectly still the record
traced on the paper by the light takes
the form of n continuous line; hut
when the delicate rod is caused to
vibrate the line is interrupted by lat.
eral chickering's. AS the paper tape
Is marked with hours and minutes

turbance takes place is plainly rA1i.
