The Wingham Times, 1898-03-11, Page 3Victoria's Wedding Ring. The inan who made Queen Vic- toria's wedding ring is living in Philadelphia to day. While the splendor of the jubilee Is still in the eyes of the world, and the jubilant voices of the English i people are still ringing in the ears of, nations this fact is of some interest. , Yet the one whom it most concerns i1 is apparently indifferent to the fact that it was he who joined two I kingdoms together with the band of I gold fashioned for that momentuous occasion. `Ja ! Ja!' he nods, when question -1 ed about it. 'I made it, I learned the trade in Germany.' Ile Learned it well, too, and his hand has not yet lost his cunning, tor he fills many orders for the large jewelers' firms in the city. 'But how did it happen that the commission was given to you ?' The little .old German took off his spectacles, and with an effort called up the details of the event, 'I went over from Germany to England,' he answered, 'to a shop in London to work. -So! It was a big place. One day the word came to make the Queen's wedding ring. 3 had the speciality ; I made all Mich rings ; and so they gave it to me to do. That is all.' And with this simple explanation be turned away and went back to his table: Such is the unostentatious - mess of genius I The wedding ring that signalizeil Victoria's alliance with Prince Albert was one of the many in- stances of the Queen's preference for n'ichneas and simplicity. It was quite plain and more solid than is usual in ordinary wedding rings. During the marriage ceremony Prince Albert wore it on his own linger, and, taking it off at the proper moment, passed 'it to the Archbishop of Canterbury. His Grace handed it bats: to tht! Pritu. , who placed it ori the bride's • linger. Thousands of e/es saw the gold band pass between the two royal person- ages, and at the same moment the cannon fired a royal salute and all London knew that Victoria was married. A pretty incident is related of the return to Buckingbam Palace. The Queen left the • eathedral ungloved, and whether by decide: t or design, 'Prince .Albert inclosed Iter Majesty's band in his own in such a way as to display the wedding ring to the best advantage. 9.'here were twenty miles of people who saw that wedding ring as Victoria drove back to Buckingham .Palace And yet, the German who made it mentions the fact as an un- important incident of his life, and lives on contented in a little Phila- delphia store.—Philadelphia Press.

No other vegetable will so quickly relieve and tone up the system, and they should be eaten freely, particularly by brain work- 'ars,land those suffering from blood and nervous diseases. The strong flavor of onions that is so objection - ttble to runny, is removed, if they are soaked for a short time in warm salt water, before being cooked.

And only Paine's Celery Compound! Por it is nature's retnedy. It is the only spring medicine that the best physicians recommend. Clergymen of all denomination(' speak of the wonderful medicine with enthusiasm. Paine's Celery Compound has s record of life-saving work that has never been equall- ed. Paine's Celery Compound cures disease. It makes people well. It has saved the lives of thousancls of sufferers It makes the weak strong. it purifies the blood and enriches the nerves. Every condition of winter life has been detrimental to health. There has been a steady decline in nervous vigor. Now that spring conies the body is ready to cast off unhealthy tissues if it is only given a chance. This opportunity comps when the excretory organs, kidneys, skin and bowels are made to work actively and the nerves are able to furnish sufficient energy to the digestive organs. CELERY t O� �F ,rD GI. lakes No remedy in the world accomplices these results like Paine's Celery Conipr und. It nourishes, regulates and invigorates the entire nervous system from the brain to the minutest nerve filament. It causes an increased appetite and tones up the stom- ach to deal with the increased food. its nourishing action is immediately manifest in a clearing up of the muddy, unhealthy skin, an increase in weight and more re- freshing sleep. First discovered after laborious, scientific research by the ablest physician America has prodnced, Prof, Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL.D., of Dartmouth College, it is prescribed and 'publicly endorsed by the best practitioners in every city of America. It has been so enthusiastioally recommend- ed by grateful men and women in every walk of life that it is to -day in every sense the most popular remedy the world has ever knew. It has proven itself the greatest of all spring medicines. In Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Lon- don, Quebec, Halifax, St. John, Winnipeg and other cities, the leading druggists have found that the demand for Pi ne's Celery Compouud sui•paeses that of all other remedies together 1 Paine's Cele •y Com . ,nd, taken during the early aprin r days has even more than its usual rem rks. e efficacy in making people well, t .akes:short work of dis- ease. It ra:'tly drives out neuralgic, sleeplessness, dyspepsia and rheumatism froze the system. It removes that lassi- tude, or "tired feeling," which betokens weakened nerves and poor blood. Women working in close offices; sales• women tired out and nervous from long hours' standing on their feet and waiting on impatient, irritating customete, oyer - worked, worried and disheartened meri and women everywhere will be astonished to find how much happier life becomes when their nerves have been strenghtened and their blood purified by means of this great remedy. No other remedy has the hearty approval of a like body of educated men and women and professional men, nor has there ever been a remedy that was welcomed in so many intelligent, prudent homes where caro is taken to get only tho best in so vital a matter. In such families all over the country Paine's Celery Compound is the first, last and only remeay used. Prof. Phelps had studied the nerves in health and disease, when well nourished and when under -nourished, in men and women and children years before he looked for the remedy. Paine's Celery Compound is the outcome of his entire professional life. It is the one remedy that the world could not lose to -day at any price. Paine's Celery Compound induces the body to take on solid flesh. Physicians recognize Paine's Celery Compound as the one scientific spring remedy, and it is universally prescribed by them wherever there is great need of a vigorous and prompt restoring of health and strength to the wornout system. Paine's Celery Compound rs the best spring remedy because it is more than a mere spring remedy. It brings about a healthy appetite, complete digestion, reg- ular action of the bowels and the other ex- cretory organs whenever taken, whether in Swedish Method of Selecting Good Cows. 1 As science advances, more and iii•'rf' att•etttiun is ;-riven to details, rind it ie fennel tNh;tt are popularly considered to be very minor points often turn out to be something of the greatest importance. As is well known in farming, to produce a good milker is considered to be somewhat a lottery, and many a calf is reared for dairy purposes that would have been far more profitably converted into beef. Now, how are we to pick oat these? -I glean from a Swedish. dairy newspaper —Mejeri. ernes Annosbald—that a discovery has recently been made, the truth of which has been proved by a first-- class ver terinarian, that makes it possible at the birth of a calf to judge if it will become a good milk cow or not. It has been observed that the palps, that are on the inner side rf the cheeks near the 'corner of the mouth, have different forms, according to whether the animal is a good, a middle class, or very in- different milker. The palps being large, hroad and flat, denote that the animal gives a large quantity of milk. If they are only round the milk qualities are of the most ordinary description. While if they are pointed the milk yield is of a most wretched description. Here is a chance for some English farmer, who keeps a record of the milk production of each cow, to put this statement to the test.—Mark Lane Express. It's not, the cough but what it may end in, that makes it so serious. The cough may be cured, the serious conse- quence prevented by Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine.

A Canadian on making some pur- chases in a Detroit store a few days ago. tendered a Bank of Montreal bill in pa) meet. "Have you nothing else?" asked the Merchant. "I don't like bilis issued by those little Canadian banks." The Canuck bristled at this, and in a discussion that followed boasted that the bill in question was issued by the second greenest bank in the world. The merchant laughed, and the irate customer dared him to step around to'the nearest banker and refer the point to him. They went. "I have said that this bill is issued by the seconded greatest hank in the world, ' said the Canadian. "Am I right?" "Well," said the banker, "I guess you are right—y. s, as far as I know you are right." "I'm satisfied," said the merchant. That bill's good enough fur me." "It's too good for you," said the customer, You'll never get your hands on it. Next time you are offered a Canadian bank bill accept it, for your banker will tell you that Canada has the safest and simplest banking system in the world." And he went out, leaving the merchant and his banker in (leer consultation. A Model Husband.

Il8 Well ! summer or in winter ; but as the greatest of spring remedies it has extraordinary opportunities for inducing the body to throw oft morbid humors that poison it and cause rheumatism, neuralgia, hear trouble and a general low state of the health, as in spring the system is more pliable, and chronic diseases, so securely lodged in the system that they are with difficulty ousted, become more tractable. Thousands of men and women have found from personal experience that Paine's Celery Compound makes people well, and keeps all from sickness who take it in the spring. Many a father and mother have noticed the unmistakable improvement in the health of their children fromtakingPaine's Celery Compound in the spring. It is the one scientifically accurate remedy fitted by its composition to thoroughly purifly the blood and dispell that exhausted feeling, and get rid, of skin aiseases, headaches and fits of depression with which children with weak, nervous systems, as well as grown people, are afflicted. Guelph, Nov. 23rd, 1897. The Sloan Medicine Co., Hamilton, Dear Sirs,—Fir years I was troubled with periodical sick headaches, being affected usually every Sunday, and used all the remedies that were advertised as cures, and was treated by almost every doctor in Guelph but without any relief. O'ne doctor told me it was atised by a weak stomach ; another saki it was hereditary and incur abl I was induced by a neighbor to try Sloan's Indian Tonic, and a •r. ha. 4 to say I did so. A few doses gave immediate relief, and one and a -half made a complete cure. This was three years ago and the headaches have never returned. I was also troubled with asthma and nothing helped me like your Sloan's Indian Tonic. I can heartily recommend it to all, and will be glad to give any particulars. to any one afflicted as I was. W.
