especially true of family medicine. and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of
the highest value. As soon as it has been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most
valuable family medicine on earth, many imi-

invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to

in similar style to Fl. b., with variously de.
vised names in which the word Hop or
Hops were used in way to induce people
to believe they were the same Hop Bitters,

STEALING THE LIVERY OF HEAVEN
An Atlanta, Georgia, humorist, who
has also an eye to the main chance, is
practicing upon the weaknesses of
his kind in reprehensibie manner.
He caused to be inserted in the local
papers an advertisement addressed to
the newly married, which contained
an offer to mail them. upon receipt OF
80 cents, and secure from observa
ton" a volume which no newly mar
ried couple should be without. This
attracted the eagle eye of virtuous
reporter, who proceeded to investi
gate in the interests of morality. In
stead of sending his 80 cents through
the Postofiice he hunted up the ad-
vertisement philanthropist and want
ed to buy one of the books. They
were only sent by mail, he was in
formed, SO he went home and waited.
In two or three days a neatly-wrapped
package came to the reporters ad-
dress, and he went up to his room,
locked the door and opened~it. 1t
was neat little volume bound in
black and with red edges. Upon the
title page was the following: 1.-THE

BELLS. The invention of bells is
attributed to Polonius. Bishop of
Nola, Campania, about the year 400.
They were first introduced into
churches as defense against thunder
and lightning; they were first put up
in Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire,
England, in $40. In the eleventh cen.
tury, and later, it was the custom to
baptize them in the churches before
they were used. The curfew bell was
established in 1918. 1t was rung at
eight in the evening, when people
were obliged to put out their fires and
candles The custom was abolished
in HOO. Bellmen were appointed in
London in 1866, to ring the bells at
night and cry;out: "Take care OF your
fire and candle; be charitable to the
poor and pray for the dead"
