A Yale professor, who lives on Pros
pect Hill, has, among other japanese GU
riosities, a remarkable antique bronze bell
from an old temple in japan, where ii
was once used by the priests during their
ceremonies, says the New Haven Palladi-
nm.
This bell is cup shaped and about u
inches in diameter and about 10 inche:
high. The tone of the bell is remarkably
soft and musica and a single touch will
cause a sound continuing for two or three
minutes.
A remarkable feature about the bell i:
that it resounds when placed on a cush
ion with the mouth upward, but why the
support does not arrest the vibration is a
point that has hitherto puzzled physicists
and no one who has seen the bell can ex
plain the phenomenon.

There is a very small boy who sells
newspapers, blacks boots and runs er-
rands for men who do business in Wall
and Broad streets. He is probably twelve
years old, but he is 50 diminuiive that he
does not look to be over .even or eight.
Keen-witted and quick, he is very popu-
lar with the brokers, with one or two ex-
cepiions.
He has a mischievous disposition and
a sharp tongue, and his special aversion
is small men. He has made life a bur
den to one undersized man, who in mo
ment # Feasibility undertook to kick the
little fellow away from the office door
Ever since that occurrence the boy has
addressed his assailant as shorty the
kicker" much to the disgust of the per
son addressed.
A few days ago the boy played some
mischievous prank on the short broker,
which so irritated the latter that he ran
out of his office and fairly danced up and
down with rage before his tormentor. 81

For many years | have matured fine

views. but absorbing them by contact
with people who should have known bet
ter than to retail such foolishness. Now,
after very brief experience with real life
among these people, am obliged to re-
model some of my opinions. For in
stance, have heard il said that Indian
parents never punish their children
That is nonsense. have witnessed some
very vigorous and well.deserved spank
ings, and | am prepared to assert that
family discipline among Indians is fairly
well maintained.
have also heard it said that Indian
children are such little stoics that they
never cry when hurI, or laugh when
pleased. This, too, is the sheerest non-
sense. | can not detect a particle of diff
ference between the behavior of white and
red children. The little Indians cry
when hurt or disappointed or frightened,
or laugh when pleased, precisely as any
Hartford child would laugh or cry
Moreover, ike Hartford children, they
delight in playing pranks on each other,
and regret TO say, on their elders as
well. For example, | was one day quiet
Iy talking with an Indian mother (not an

that the ten-yearold son and heir of the
house Of Warseta was taking pencil notes
of my personal appearance on his school

meanor, took the sa,e from him, and
nearly went into fits of laughter when |
saw his very funny caricature of my ven-
erable self. 1t was true to life every
one of my Hartford friends would have
recognized the Likeness; but every feat
ure was so comically exaggerated that it
was one of the funniest things / have ever
seen. | felt that the prank called for rep
rimand, but it was difficult to administer
it, for, truly, | was so pleased with the
child's clever sketch that my impulse was
to hug rather than scold him. However,
duty clearly pointed out the necessity for
admonition. So, pulling myself together,
made my little speech, and really did
my best to impress him with a sense Of
his improperly.
Did succeed 4? Bless you, no On the
contrary, after looking me squarely in
the eyes while | was talking, and prob.
ably discovering a gross discrepancy be-
tween my words and expressions of my
face, he said "Whitc lady says she sor-
ry Tom so bad boy-her mad. White
lady lie She no heap sorry, no mad

the clever little imp turned double

adding insult to injury by fleeing so ex-
peditiousy that | had no time to snap

From the wind-harp enchantingly borne
Have you heard the girl laugh? Then you've

Chant summers delightful return.
And the songs that poor ignorant country folk

The lark's liquid rapture on high
Are just old Irish airs from the lips of sweet

Flowing up and refreshing the sky.
Yet for all that the bee flies for honey-dew

To the half-opened flower OF her lips;
And the butterfly pauses, the puTle-eyed va

From all human lover she locks up the treas

And the fries alone know the magical meas

But suddenly there came to him the

"Ah," said the Georgian with a tri-

raise watermelens ?"
Because" said the Texan sadly, "the
vine grows so fast and runs over ground
so fast that it wears the little melon out
dragging them along on the ground
There never was but one watermelon
raised in Texas and the man who raised
it put it on sled and hired two negroes
with team Of oxen to stay in the field
day and night and pull the melon along
as fast as the vine grew"
"And what did he do with it 2" asked
the Mississippian.
"He cut door in the side Of it and
drove his hogs in it, and when they ate
their way out in the fall they were real
fat"

ly, "let's take drink" And this wound

CHILEAN REVOLUTION,
The Portuguese Government Asked
Refuse Aid to Balmaceda.

The Portuguese Government Asked to
Refuse Aid to Balmaceda.
LISBON, July 30.-The Congressional
party Of Chile, through it's representa-
tives, has appealed to the Portuguese
Government not to allow Portuguese sub
jects to embark on the new Balmacedan
war vessel, Presidente Errazuriz. The
Government has not yet replied to the
communication.
1t is stated that the British Charge d At
faires has declared that if he is not al
lowed to see the Englishmen who are
supposed to be on board the Chilean war
vessel, he will have them forcibly re-
leased by British warship when the
Presidente ErraZuriz reaches the open
sea, and is no longer enjoying the protec-
ton which Portuguese waters afford her.
1t is asserted that the Presidente Ezra
zuria will sail to-day. Her commander
yesterday promised to leave Lisbon i'm
mediately if his purser, who was arrested
for enlsting men for the Balmacedan
service, was released. This request was
refused.
GOVERNMENT FORCES STRENGTHENED.
CooUIMBo, July S0.-The Government
forces stationed here have been materially
increased by the recent arrival of rein
forcement of two thousand men from Val
paraiso. If the insurgents take this town
they will have to fight hard. Balmaceda
has lost no opportunity to strengthen his
position here.
