THE BLOOD-STAINED BELL.

Pathetic Story of Mellow-toned Chimer
The City of Breslau lately celebrated
the 5O0th anniversary of an occurrence
which was memorable in the history of
the town, and is Known wherever German
poetry finds home, says the Scientific
American. The bell which hangs in the
southern tower of st. Mary Magdalen's
Church, and is named "St. Mary's Bell"
but is usually known as the poor sinners
bell' rang out morning and evening on
the 18th of July to remind all who heard
it that it was cast on that day 500 years
ago. Next day, Sunday, the preacher re-
minded his congregation of the pathetic
story which made it singular among bells
how, when all was ready for the casting,
the bell-founder withdrew for few mo
ments, leaving a boy in charge of the
furnace, warning him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that secured the seething metal
in the caldron.
But the boy disregarded the caution,
and then, terrified on seeing the molten
metal beginning TO flow into the mold,
called to the bell founder for help. Rush
ing in and seeing what he had intended
to be his masterpiece ruined, as he
thought, angered to madness, he slew the
boy on the spot. When the had cooled
and the mold was opened, the bell was
found to be an exquisite work, perfect
in finish, and of marvellous sweetness of
tone.
Coming to his senses, he recognized
his bloody work, and straightway gave
himself up to the magistrates. 'BIood
for blood" was the law; he was condemn
ed to die, and he went to his doom. while
his beautiful bell pealed an invitation to
all to pray for ''the poor sinner" whence
its name.

ance, and the continental demand for the
cured fish has been steady. The price
will be kept up, and it is the general pub
lie who will suffer from the diminished
take. The diminution, though not seri-
Gus in amount, has been disagreeably pro-
gressive. Thus, in 1884 the total catch
was $4,000 Grams; in 1885, 1877 900, and
this year $4,000. But the fishermen are,
on the whole, in good heart. The her
rings, though few, have been fit. They
have had the grace to come very near the
shore. The catching of them has been
easy, and the curing immediate. There
has been no great sale of the fresh fish.
Railway rates swallowed up the margin
that might be derived from this branch
of the trade. 1t was surer to salt them
when continental demand might be re-
lied on.

not only entirely strange to the men, but
very broken, and full of dangerously
steep water courses and hollows, and you
will have a picture of cowboy duty on
such night. They must head off the
leaders. Once fairly off, they will STAN
pede twenty, thirty, and even forty miles
at stretch, and many branches will
stray from the main herd. Not alone the
reckless rider, rushing headlong at break
muck pace over the dangerous ground in
dense darkness, but also the horses, small
insignificant beasts, but matchless for
hardy endurance and Willingness, are
perfectly aware how much depends upon
their speed that night, if it kills them.
Unused till the last moment remains the
heavy cowhide 'yuirt,' or whip, and the
powerful spurs with rowels the size of
fve-shilling pieces. Urged on by shout
the horses speed alongside the
terrified steers until they manage to
roach the leaders, w;cn, swinging
around, and fearless of HONS, they press
the believing brutes till they turn them.
All the men pursuing this maneuvre, the
headlong rush is at last checked, and the
leaders, painting and flashing their sides
with their tails are brought to a stand,
and the whole herd is again rounded
up"
Throughout the northern ranges So
briefly, self-restraint, decent behavior, and
fa1thfulness to duty are enjoined upon
the cowboys. A great improvement is
also observable in the cowboys Of Toxas.
Deeds of violence among them are now
few. The morals of the entire range and
ranch cattle business of the United
States now compares favorably with that

Not Acquainted.

Many men are so rushed by business

that they have no time to get acquainted
with their families" The Boston Post
tells an amusing incident regarding one
of these very busy men.
He usually left home before his chill
dren were up in the morning. and did not
return until after they had gone to bed.
He was hurrying away one morning when
he found that his little boy had arisen
earlier than usual, and was playing on the
sidewalk.

cigars and tobacco. Also, wood and
willow ware. Mr.. Balfour's establish
ment is in fact a complete grocery,
and one which is very creditable
TO East Los Angeles. Although
as stated above, MIR. Balfour has been
in business but short time, So rapidly
has his trade increased that he now has
to use two delivery wagons, and is kept
busy filling orders from early in the
morning until late in the evening. In
settlement like East Los Angeles it is
good idea to patron ze the home stores.
They keep the money circulating where
it will do the most good, and for that
reason alone they deserve patronage.
