The First Steam Cruiser.

1t is generally known that the first
steam driven vessel to cross the Allan
tic was built in Canada. The informa-
ton is not so general, however, that
this same craft was subsequently con-
verted into a cruiser and was the first
steamship engaged in actual war.
The facts in the case are stated in
"Johnson's Alphabet of First Things In
Canada" The ship was the Royal Will
liam. She was built at the Cove, Que
bee, in the winter of 1830-31 and during
the season of 1928 piled between Que
bee and Halifax. In the latter season
she was sent to London and there char
tered by the Portuguese government to
transport troops intended for the serv-
ice of the late Dom Pedro to Brazil. Re-
turning to London, she was sold to the
Spanish government, by the latter con-
verified into cruiser and employed
against Don Carlos in the civil war Of
1886, thus being the first steamer to
fire hostile shot.

The Original wedding Cake.

Our wedding cake is the remains Of
custom whereby q Roman bride held In
her left hand three wheat ears, and
many centuries later an English bride
wore on her head a chaplet Of wheat.
The attendant girls threw corn, either
in grains or in small bits Of biscuit or
cake, upon the heads of the newly mar
ried couple, and the guests picked up
the pieces and ate them. Such was the
beginning of the wedding cake, which
did not come into general use until the
eighteenth century and was then COM
posed Of solid blocks laid together and
iced all over with sugar, so that when
the outer crust was broken over the
brides head the cakes inside fell on
the floor, and they were then d1strib-
uted among the company.

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation Of men
succeed another? The fathers are not
swept away in body to make room
for the children, but one by one the
old drop off and the young come on
until day Is reached when none of
those remain that once were here. How
does some form Of human speech be-
come extinct? About 100 years ago an
old lady named Dolly Dentreath died
in Cornwall She could speak the
Cornish language After her death
there was nobody that could. Thus
quietly did the living Cornish language
become a dead language. And in like
unobtrusive manner have been wrought
most of the new becomings which
have changed and are changing the
earth.-John Fiske in Harper's.

Is purified daily by means Of a hose

mercury over ceiling walls and floors.
The surgeon arrives in an anteroom in
his civilians garb. He is required to be
clean shaven, like a monk, says the
New York Press. His clothes are re-
moved. Two attendants in the steriliz-
ing room hand him a white duck gown
reaching from collar to heel and a cowl
of the same material which covers
tightly every part of his head except
eyes, nose and mouth. The sleeves Of
the gown reach to his elbows. He In
cases his hands in the thinnest, finest
sterilized rubber gloves. These gar
ments are handed to him in ster1lized
tongs. There has been no human con-
tact Thus equipped he Is prepared to
