DENNISTON==S TEWART

On WedneSdaysafternoOn, Aug. 80, at
the home of the brides mother, Mrs.
John Granger, occurred the marriage
of the only daughter, Nettie Stewart,
to Merritt DenniStOn of Rudolph.
The bride was attended by Miss
Nellie Long of Westfeld, who acted
as maid of honor, and the groom was
attended by John Ingraham of Grand
Rapids.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Peterson of Grand Rapids.
After the ceremony the guests were
led to the dining room which was
beautifully decorated with ferns and
cut flowers, and where a bountiful
wedding dinner was partaken of.
After the wedding dinner was
served the guests were entertained
with music, songs. and toasts.
Mrs, DenniSton has made Grand
Rapids her home for the past two
years, during which time she has
gained many intimate friends. Mer-
rift Denniston is the youngest son
of Mr., and Mrs. w. H. Denniston of
Rudolph. He is we'll to do young
man of good habits who is respected
by a large number of close friends.
The house was prettily decorated
with ferns and cut flowers. There
were about fifty invited guests, being
immediate relatives and a few per-
SOnal friends of the contracting
parties. Many beautiful presents
were given, such as silverware, cut
glass, hand painted china and
furniture.
A reception was rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. DenniSton in the evening after
which they departed for WeStfeld,
Wis, to visit relatives and friends.
They will be at home to their friends
in Rudolph after Sept. 80, 1905. They
have a host of friends who wish them
a long and happy welded life.

VIRTUES OF MINERALS.
Medicinal Waters and Hot Sprinps
Have Long Puzzled Scien-
fists.

The medicinal hot springs in some
parts OF Europe and the natural hot
waters owned by the United States
government at Hot Springs, Ark, have
always puzzled science. for, while the
curative effect of the hot water was
beyond doubt, no chemical ANALYSIS
ever revealed anything to satisfactor-
lily account for it, says the London
Lancet. 1t could hardly be supposed
that a few grains per gallon of chalk,
sulphate of lime, common salt and so
on, could have any EArked beneficial
influence. The waters of Bath. Bux-
ton, ContreXeville and Hot Springs,
Ark, exhibit a comparatively feeble
degree of naturalization, and yet there
can be no doubt of their therapeutic
value. Nor can it be supposed that
water which is naturally hot can have
greater therapeutic effects than would
be gained by the similar use of arti-
hclally heated water. So far, then. the
hnd1ngs of the physicist and the chem
list do not afford a satisfactory n.y.
pothesls in regard to the therapeutic
value of such waters.
The question now arises whether the
fact that these waters are radioactive
will supply any explanation. Most. if
not all, of the thermal springs in Eu-
rope which have been examined have
been found to contain in slightly vary
ing qualities argon and helium and in
the majority of cases these waters
have been found to be distinctly radio
active. Indeed, the presence of argon
and helium would appear to be insep-
arabic from radioactive properties.
We seem here to be getting some light
at length on what has long been an
enigma, that of the two waters show
ing the same chemical composition as
regards their saline constituents the
one of natural origin is distinctly SUI
perior, Independently speaking, to tia
one artifically compounded.
The fact is that a natural water
yelling up from the earth is at the
moment of its discharge from it's
source radioactive, while ordinary
drinking water, rain water, we'll water
and the like do not generally exhibit
this property to any extent Further.
since the property of radioactivity is
rapidly evanescent, the emanation
quickly vanishing, it follows that if the
benefit derived from undergoing
course of waters is due to the radio
activity Of those waters, the treatment
should obviously take place near the
source of the water-in other words,
the waters should be used when they
are showing q maximum degree of
radioactivity.

GRINDING TEA TO POWDER
Makes as Good, If Not Better, Bev-
erage as the Whole
Leaf.

History tells that when coffee was
first brought to the cities of western
Europe the first makers of it were
Turks. They roasted and ground the
berries and served the liquor as it is
served to this day in the east, gritS
| and all. We still drink coffee as we
DRANK it then, with this difference,
that we mostly omit the grits and
drink an infusion instead of a decoc-
ton. 1t was not SO with tea. No
Chinaman was imported with the first
pound of tea to teach us how to make
and drink it. The consequence has
been that we have never drunk tea in
the Chinese way-that is, as a simple
infusion.
cat first there seems to have been
great doubt as to low to deal with the
new herb. 1t is even said that it was
sometimes boiled, with salt and but
ter, and served up as sort of spinach.
The old phrase, "a dish Of tea seems
to bear out this legend. Finally it
came to be settled that the most
wholesome and pleasant way to treat
the tea leaf was to make it into kind
of sweet soup with sugar and milk or
cream. l have personal knowledge of
no country in Europe but one where
tea is used as in China-Portugal,
which got it's knowledge of teamaking
from a province of China, with which,
at that time, no other nation of Eu-
rope was in contact.
1T was while travelling on horseback
with a guide in the wilder parts of
Portugal, away from the shops and
inns, where We had perforce to make
eXperimentals in the most economical
use of the few ounces of tea and cof-
fee that we could afford to carry with
US, that we hit upon discovery. Hay
ing no milk, we drank our tea, as most
Portuguese drink theirs, as a simple
infusion, sweetened with sugar
Il remember to have read, l believe
in the travels of the Able Hue, that,
when the Chinese desire to be thrifty
in the use of the finer and more ex-
pensive teas, they grind the leaf to
powder and use less for the infusion.
We found that tea could be ground in
a coffee mill as easily as coffee; that
eat made with the powder is as good
as or better than when made with the
whole leaf, and that the powder, as it
naturally would, goes further than the
tea leaf"

Wars Deep influence.

Incidental with the story of the
war and it's successful end for Japan,
the struggle has had a deep influence
in state matters all over the world.
Its influence has been felt in every
country on the globe that possesses
any civilization; particularly ia our
country, the United States. 1t has
established our position among
nations with greats clearneSS. That
position may be outlined as being a
good friend to all progressive countries
and with no favorites except those
who show themselves to be coming to
the front most rapidly, and who, by
their acts, evidence themselves the
most humane and just. Through our
country alone has this good peace
resulted, and to the efforts of one
man, and thaJ our president, Theodore

Letter to Mr.. Eli Taylor
n EKOOSA, Wis.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints in
the market know much about them.
All Devoe agents have state
Chemists certificate telling just what
it's made of; they know good deal,
not only about Devoe, but the rest:
we see that they do. We buy every
paint. that has any sale, and analyse
it. Our agent finds out all about it,
When we know what a paint IS
made of, we know how it will act; we
know how far it goes and how long
it wears.
Devoe is the standard: call it 100.
The best of the rest is about 10: the
worst about %: the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them, don't
know any better. They know what
the maker tells them. That is: they
know that he tells them. They don't
know whether he tells them the
truth or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know, the
more comfortable they are.
Yours truly

DEATH OF GEORGE
H. CORRIVEAU

| A telephone message was received
here on Tuesday morning by A. J.
HasbrOuck from Oshkosh, announcing
the sudden death OF George III. Corri-
Yeau, who had been in the Northern
Hospital one year for treatment.
IhlS announcement was a great sur
prise TO the people of Grand Rapids,
yet 1t was not wholly unexpected, as
he was in rather poor health. In
response TO the message, Messrs. A.
j. HaSbrouck and e. p Arpin took
The afternoon train for Oshkosh to
look after the remains. They were
brought to this city Wednesday
morning, where they were met at the
Green Bay railway station by large
| number Of relatives and friends. and
conveyed TO his fathers home on
Third avenue, west side. Here they
remained till Thursday morning when
the funeral service was held at the
Catholic church at ten O'Clock. Rev.
Father Hugenroth officiating.
George III. Corriveau was born in
the city of Centralia, now Grand
Rapids, at the present home of his
parents, on December 20, 1863. He
would, therefore have been AZ years
of age, had he lived till December of
this year. He was educated in the
public schools of this city, and also
TOOK commercial course in a bust
ness college in ST. Paul, Mimi. After
this he entered into the mercantile
business, first with his father, and
then with others and for himself.
This he followed till the time of his
serious illness, nearly year ago. He
was married to Miss Lima HaSbrOuck
OF Grand Rapids on October p. 1895
She survives him, with one son,
George, Jr., now eight years of age.
His mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs.
U. A. Corriveau are both living, as
are two sisters and two brothers.
The sisters are Mrs Salina FritZinger
and aMiss Blanche Corriveau: the
brothers are J. A. Corriveau. of
Hooten, Mich, and Fl. P. Corriveau.
from st. Cloud, Mimi. He was a.
member of the Catholic church and of
the knights Of Pythias and Royal
Arcanum lodges.
George I'll. Corriveau was an excel
lent business man, and his great
energy ana application to his business
interests brought about the breaking
down OF his nervous system, and was
the cause of his last illness. In the
early part of his illness, he took
course or treatment in the Sanitarium
al hudson, but in spite of the best
care, he continued to fail.
The funeral service took place
Thursday morning at the Catholic
church, where requiem mass was said
by Father Hugenroth. There was a
large attendance of friends, Indicative
in part of the high esteem in which
he was held in this community. The
floral offerings were many, beautiful.
and varied. The remains were laid
away in their final resting place in
calvary cemetery, in accordance with |
The rltualistic services of tie Catholic |
church.
Among those from out of the city
who attended the funeral were Mr.. |
and Mrs. James Meehan and two |
daughters, Mrs. Piffner and Miss |
Nora Neehan, of Stevens Point: L. w.
Sweet, Crockett, Texas; A. B. Cotey,
PIttsville; A. G. Bennett, Cranmoor:
besides a large number of persons
from the surrounding country, who
were his friends and patrons when
he was In the mercantile business.

All honor tn Japan.
The war is about over. Nothing
more remains but to get the terms of
peace into formal treaty, withdraw
the armies, fulfill the peace terms and
the greatest of recent wars will have
ended. To brave, enduring, powerful.
and resourceful little Japan the world
bows in admiration not only for the
success OF it's arms. but its
magnanimity shown at the close of
the struggle.
Japan comes out of the war a nation
of the very first class with a possible
future greater than anything in its
past. 1t will have influence in China
that 1T never had before. China owes
Japan much. The world owes it
much. Russia owes it much. Russia
may turn to great account the lesson
which Japan has taught it. Perhaps
it will.
