Probable Postponement of the Elk
eCutIon of Half Breeds.


OTTAWA, Nov. 24-It is reported to-
day that representations have been
made to the government respecting
the conduct of Stipendiary Magistrate
Routeau, of Battleford, which may
cause a postponement of the execution
of the eight Indians sentenced to be
hanged at Battleford, on Friday next.
He is reported to have threatened that
every Indian and Half Breed brought
before him after the insurrection was
suppressed would be sent to the gal
lows il possible. In view of all the
circumstances, and particularly as
Judge Routeau was a heavy loser Pc
cuniarly by the Indian outbreak at
Battleford, it is commended that he
should not have been allowed to pre-
side at the trials of the prisoners. A
memorial has been received by the
department of justice asking that the
matter be investigated.

reach Cedar Rapids not later than o'clock of

Encouraging reports come to Headquarters
from all directions. The Winters work has
begun in earnest, and Posts and Corps are
uniting in arranging for entertainments of all
kinds to raise, if possible, the amount of their
relief fund, anticipating the many calls that
will have to be met as the Winter advances.
Quarterly reports are all in, and show an in

The National Treasurer reports pleasant
call from National Chaplain, Mrs. Annie Wit
tenmeyer who is also Provisional President of
Pennsylvania. She also speaks in the most en-
couraging manner of the work in her Depart
ment; of the energy and earnestness with
which the ladies have taken up the work. We
can but feel that it is greatly owing to her own
enthusiasm and zeal in the good cause, thereby
inspiring others to follow her in her glorious
efforts for the advancement of our Order in
that Department..

She also writes that the Secretary of the Corps

of the same from a leading newspaper in that

as the great pleasure of reporting having found
employment for three old soldiers for the en-

started on a trip to New Mexico, the 13,h. in

( The first requisite is that each bell
shall, in technical terms, be true or, in
other words be in harmony with itself.
This means that bell must yield note
the exact pitch of which any ordinary
musician can at once determine. This
tone has been regarded as a combination
Of several tones which exist in every bell.

monte, the bell is supposed to be true.

or key note. To obtain the octave OF
any bell it is necessary to tap it on the
top. just at the curve. Tap it one

or fifth of the octave results. Two quar-
tiers and half lower, we get the tierce, OF

giving, rs stated above. the consonant.
or key note OF the bell. These three
tones arc the only ones spoken of in any
work as belonging to bells, and they are
also the only ones mentioned as test of
o bell. But since the most important
note of the bell--the s'drone,r as it is
called-is entirely overlooked. this test
is at most only interesting, and is not at
oil reliable.
The fact is that every bell gives two
prominent notes-ore the key note and
the other the dronc or sshum" note, which
in foreign bells Is usually an octave, and
in American bells a major or minor sixth,
lower than the key note. This note
always vibrates longer than the key note.
and hence the same bell at times seems
to give q tone entirely distinct from the
KEY note. That is because at one time
the key note als,ne is heard (usually at a
considerable distance), while at another
only the drone is heard and since the
drone vibrates the longer, it frequently
impresses the ear, especially wlnem near,
as the fullest dominant tone of the bell
The harmony OF the bell, therefore,
depends almost entirely upon the drOne,
and the best test of a bell is the impress
sion it gives the ear, while the fast re-
mains that If the dSone docs not har-
monte with the key note the bell seems

the bell does not depend so much upon
these as upon the drone: This is the es-
sential thing. Many bells are, however,
only slightly sharp when cast and may
be thoroughly tuned and made harmoni-

need NO fling are called maiden bells, .
and in England, specially, are very

Sauta Claus was, in fact. the child
Jesus in the middle ages; and through
out that period the festive creed Of
Germany and all Celtic Europe was
that he visited all family dwellings Of
good Christians on the eve of his an
niyersary. and brought with him gifts
and blessings for the children. This
beautiful tradition is still TO be found
lingering in Germany, though Santa
Claus does not seem to be specially
connected with it by name. The truth
Of this original belief is plainly
enough indicated by the words claus

Claus formerly meant the Holy Child.
