Ckime that Can Ea,ily be Eade.Sweet aelod,
from Glass.
To make chime OF metal bells, such
as IRE used by the Swiss bell ringers.
would be difficult task for any but an
expert musician. but chime of bottle
bells may be nude by any clever boy
with musical ear.
The apparatus consists of two chairs.
two sticks and eighteen bottles. The
bottles are each hung to the sticks by
an ordinary string, the strings having
double loops. Ii the bottles are all oil
the same shape and size, they can be
tuned by pouring water into them-the
more the water, the lower the note;
but II 1t is impossible to get the full
compass in this way, differently shaped
bottles can be used 10 fill the CUPS In
fact. If you will hang up all the empty
bottles you have in the house and hit
them with Il drumstick. Or any stick
with wooden knob, you will find that
every ono has a different note, which
can be modified by pouring in IL little
water; it is impossible to say how
much water should be used, as bottles
vary so much.
In the set illustrated all the sharps
and flats are present, so that the chro.
matic scale is complete; but it is not
always possible TO get this. and you
must be content to have your instru-
ment in e or q, or ID, Or even i.

bottles. You can go an octave higher,
and work in medicine bottles if you
wish; but, as Il rule. the glass should
be fairly strong.
AS far as the hammer is concerned,
almost any stick is good enough to
beat with. We have used a hazel
walking-stick with satisfactory results,
but IL stick with more spring in il
would not be amiss.
For quick tunes two sticks should be
used; for very quick tunes there should
DO two players, one on one side OF the
line and one on the other.
In our chime the lowest note is to
the left hand; Immediately below it is
the next note; on the upper line comes
the next, on the lower che next, and
SO on, the object being to keep the
scale well within reach.
Bottles are not the only things that
will give musical note when suspend
ed in this way. Iron pipes, steel
pipes, pieces of metal. Jumps of fin,
and cups and sauccrs can all be made
fairly musical with little care in

After the Battle,

1bS0b Stb0 o0SSlos
Wide o'er the field dread horrors brood;
The wounded thick are lying
The earth drinks up a purple flood
That gurgles from the dying.
How changed from mornings bright array
OF martial pride And glory!
The pomp OF war has passed away
And left its laurels CORY.
The prancing steeds. the trumpet's blare,
No longer charm with honor's glare,
Nor cannons roar and flashing.
The eyes have lost their fiery glow.
The voice its clarion pealing
The flying pulse is beating slow,
The heart almost congealing.
Aceldama! oh, fitting name
To mark the sanguine story;
And yet twill give to endless fame,
And crown the dead with glory.
These heroes met the sweeping tide,
And, with supreme endeAvor,
They victory won. though Thousands died,
But Freedom lives forever!
1t was quick and deadly fight
That sent the foemen flying.
Arousing cheers OF wild delight
From lips grown pale In dying.
The turf in burrows heaping,
When every mound that speCks the glade
Will mark heros sleeping.
Brave heroes! how We love themi
Where generations may repair,
To deck the turf above them.
While history shall their deeds repeat,
Song hold their fame In keeping,
Our love shall keep their memory sweet,
And guard their hallowed sleeping.

Indians starving will be amusing to the
people of the Dakotas. who know that the
Indians have been able to buy ponies, Win.
chester rifles, revolvcrs and amu unition,

He also says that their sympathizcrs here
of the Blood stripe will confirm him that
they have the sympathy OF many senators
and people at Washington, which will ell
courage them in their hostile demonstra-
tions. These Indians. he says are fat and
sleek and far from starving.
Senator Moody, referring to the interview
with Charlie Foster, says this late Sioux
commissioner put his loot in it when lie
talked about tie starving Sioux, as the lat
ter have five thousand head OF cattle and
many OF them other provisions.
The Dakota senators did not take part in

A PENALTY ATTACHED.


00v0 SVsAess0GVO 4SoWs
CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Thomas Miller, gen.
eral freight agent Of the Chicago. Rurling.
ton & Quincy; John NJ. johnson. general
freight agent Of the Chicago, Rock Island e.
Pacific, and John NJ. ERan, president and
general manager Of the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City, were indicted by the federal
grand jury this morning for violating the
interstate commerce law in giving rebates
to favored shippers.
The cases have been the subject of grand
jury investigation for the last week. Il was
in this inquiry that Charles Counselman
and Treasurer Peasely, of the 20. road, got
into trouble with Judge Blodgett, and 1t
is on this case that the interstate law will
be contested probably to the supreme court
Of the United States. The penalty for the
offense charged is two years imprisonment
and g., 900 fine.
Sames H. LonK. manager of the freight
department Of the Illinois Steel company,
was also indicted. The charge is that Long
violated the law by having nearly all the
coke used by the company billed to Joliet,
stopping 1t en- route wher 1t reached Chl.
cago and diverting it to the mills here, thus
saving about $4,000 q year In freight
charges. Tho Pan Handle and the Alton
were the roads involved, but it could not
be shown that the officials of either com.
pany were aware OF the peculiar scheme
and no indictments against them were
found.
