mistake TO suppose that bells eau be
heard IN proportion TO their weight /;
that is, bell of 1000 pounds will be
heard twice as far as Que of 1000
pounds. This Is not so, for the reason
that the larger bell does not possess
anything like twice the resonant surface
of the smaller one. What is gained
and admired in the larger bell is its
deep, majestic, dignified tone, which it
is impossible to secure IN the smaller
one, The weight of q bell invariably
governing its tone. A bell of 100 or
200 pounds, in an open belfry, on q
school-house or factory tn the country,
is frequently heard at long distance,
out OF proportion, apparently, to one Of
1000 pounds in church tower near
by and instances of this kind frequent
ly cause no little comment in the way
of comparison. One reason for this is
that the small bell has sharp, shrill,
penetrating sound that must Of neces-
sity be heard a great deal further IN
proportion to its weight than the low,
mellow, "church-going" sound of the
church bell. The same principle applies
to the whistle of a locomotive, and it il
heard long distance simply because
its tone is shrill and penetrating. When
hung stationary and struck, or tolled,
bells will not be heard, as a rule, half
as far as when swung. The swinging
motion throws the mouth of the bell
up, and not only carries the sound of,
but imparts to it richness that is
always absent when the bell is at rest
and struck. A great deal is to be gained
by ringing a bell properly, throwing
the mouth we'll up. and not lazily jing-
ling it. 1t is not physical strength that
is required in ringing a bell so much
as getting the knack" of catching the
rope just right. particularly on the
second "down pull" The windows in
the tower should be wide open as pos.
sible, and the tower should be cellei
just above the windows. -Scientifc

where friendly, laxative way marks
the intercourse between judges. juries,
counsel, and clients. A man of the
Law, after developing considerable elo-
quence and perspiration in behalf Of
prisoner, perforated by saying: Gen
tlemen, after what have stated to you,
Is this man guilty? Can he be guilty /?
IL he guilty.
Greatly to his disgust, the foreman
Of thejury, after q copious expectora-
ton, replied You just wait q little,

As the poker-player would say:

Robert Dick, Baker OF Thurso,"

OF any kind distressed him, his name
In the newspapers even being painful
to him. From Smiles life of this re.
markable man, which Harper & Broth.

of friends he had few, though those he
had were stanch, and that his great
reserve kept him apart from his towns

indifferent to Carlyle as to the folks of
his town. The cause of this shyness is
revealed in the book. He had q step
mother, and his boyhood was
clouded with Entertainment and dis
appointment. "All my natural buoy
ant spirits" he once said, "were bro
ken. 1t is this which makes me shrink
from the world" His studies were
pursued with all possible privacy. A
microscope and other scientific instru-
ments were brought home in sacks of
flour, as were also fine additions of his
favorite books. He had fondness for
literature, and of poetry he confesses
that in his youth he compe sed in So
cret "bagfuls." To SO distinguished
a man as Sir Roderick Murchison he
mapped out a section of country on o
baking board with -four. This flour he
now raised up into bluff head land,
and now scooped out with his fingers
until he formed gradually deepening
depression. Thus he delineated the
geographical features of the country
and geological phenomena so that Sir
Roderick, Director General of the
Geographical Society, was proud to
call him my distinguished friend"

Chas. De Young, editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle was fatally
shot in his business Office, on the
evening of the 2srd inst, by l. NJ.
Kalloch, son of Mayor Kalloch. 1t
will be remembered that Kalloch
senior was shot by the deceased last
summer and badly wounded, for an
attack he made on his mother while
making speech. This murder was
an outgrowth of the old quarrel
which had been revived by the Cir
culation of a pamphlet containing
the history of the trial of the muir
derer's father for adultery, the ap-
pearance of which was believed to
be due to De Young, who has been
in Kansas and elsewhere hunting up
facts in Kalloch's career. Whether
this difficulty will end with the death
of De Young or not is hard to tell, as
his brothers are courageous and will
be inclined to retaliatc. San Fran.
cisco has a hard time with her Kear
neys, De Youngs and Kallochs.
and if the whole tribe was wiped
out, it would be great blessing, not
only to that city but to the entire

The Des Moines correspondent of
the Pioneer Press writes as follows
of the political situation in Congress
man Weaver's district;
In the Sixth district, the Green
hackers have stolen the march on
the Democrats by calling their con-
vention first. They will renominate
Weaver, and thus compel the Demo-
Gratis to become a tail to their kite,
and accept him, or Ego it alone" with
certain defeat to both. Now the
Democrats are not decidedly friend
ly to Weaver. He was elected by
their votes, fact he knows. Yet
he has ignored his obligations in
congress atimportant junctures. Yet,
after all, the average Democrat in
Iowa will accept anything, and do
anything to beat the Republicans,
and they will probably again accept
Weaver, but the combination will
find matters changed within the past
two years. The Republicans are
more united, and thousands who
voted the Grcenback ticket two years
ago will do so no more. As proof
of this, there were delegates in the
recent Republican State convention
who were delegates to the Greenback
State convention, not long ago. 1t
is now pretty certain Hon. M. E..
Cuts, ex-attorney general, will be
the Republican nominee in that dis
trict, and Mr.. Weaver will find him
a competitor worthy Of his steel.

dote concerning the recent registra-
ton of female voters in Boston. Its
accuracy is vouched for by an en-
inent artist-onc of the most dis
tinguished stonecutters of the Hub:
Enter old lady of certain age.
81 wish to register, sir.''
"Your name, please?"
"Almira Jane Simpson,
"Your age?"
"Beg pardon"
"Your age?"
''Do / understand that / must give
my age?"
"Yes, miss; the law requires it,
"Worlds, sir, would not tempt me
to give it! Not that 1 care. No; l
had rs lief wear it on my bonnet, as
a hackman does his number; but
Tn t,ci,', and, if my sister has a
weakness, it is that she dislikes any
reference made to her age; and |
could not give my own, because l
don't wish to offend her."
