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.

Onions make a nerve tonic nor, to
be dispised. 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. It
is claimed that after eating aneook-
f' ed unions. if one eats a sprig of par-
sley, dipped in strong vinegar,no
unpleasant tell tale odor will annoy.

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

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.

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

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

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

A Bank Bill.
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.

her death, three weeks later, by the
wife of a neighbor, old Jonas being I

kind, although abundantly able to I
do so.
A (lay or two after the funeral
old Jones called on his kind hearted
neighbor and said :

the reply.

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.

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.
