A JAPANESE BELL.

has abated of late years, although in some
places the bell-ringers still divide their time
between the tavern and the belfry.
In America church bells are sounded by
means OF chains and rods leading from the
end Of the clappers aud passing through
pulleys 10 the position Of the ringer. where
they are attached by movable straps to
manuals. in tho form Of levers. which are
operated by single player.
Bells are much used in Japan. especially in
the ceremonies of worship. They are sus-
pended in low towers. near the temples. and
are sounded by means of wooden beams
swinging from the roof TO which straw ropes
are attached. When one enters temple IN
Japan he pulls this rope aud rings the bell.
thus arousing the deity, who is wide awake
when the worshiper comes into his presence.
We do not need to be reminded that bells
are associated with the most melancholy and
tragic, a. we'll as with the more inspiring,
events OF history. 1t was when the yesper bells
called 10 praise and prayer on the island OF
Sicily that John and his conspirators slew
5000 innocent Frenchmen. When the bells
rang in St German PAuxerrois for mathis
began the massacre of st. Bartholomew. But

storms.

bold statement Is that Tubal Gaia has not

that the idea of bell WA first suggested by
striking upon pots and kettles. Hence the
most ancient form of the large bell was that
OF the Indian gong or of the caldrons of Do

Exodus and bY Isaiah and LachaIiah were, Of
course, to small bells suspended from the gar

When large bells came into use is purely q
matter of conjecture. The Chinese employed
rude bells of large size Ct least 1900 years

THE KING AND THE HUSSAR

Frederlck's Objection to the Attention of q
Servant to . Trademarks Daughter.
From Der Bar.
King Frederick II had a decided objection to
any Of his servants cultivating the society of
the softer sex. One day he got to hear that
Hussar Dresser who had charge Of the petty
cash, paid regular visits to a tradesman' 8
daughter in Potsdam, especially at those hours
when concerts were given at the Palace of Sans
souci or when the king was asleep. Frederick
sent for Dresser, babe him sit down at the
writing desk and dictated to him the following
letter. as he paced up and down the room:
MY sweet the king begrudges ME every hour
that spend in your agreeable company. To
shorten my absence in future and to prevent
it being noticed and envied by the old
GROWER would ask you to engage a room r

place. We shall thus be able to see each other
more conveniently thar in town. True till death,
your affectionate Dresser" With trembling
hand, and the perspiration beading on his
manly brow, the man wrote down the above
lines.

YES" said Dresser.
Then fold up the letter and seal it,
This done Frederick dictated the correct ad-
dress OF the young lady. sent for a courier, and
gave him the letter for delivery. The remedy
had its desired effect for time but afterward
Dresser was found to be guilty of grave mis-
demeanors. and severe measures had to be
taken with him. Yet even then Frederick
would not deliver him into the hands of JUS
tice. but decided to reduce him to the ranks.
An officer conveyed the intelligence to Dree-
sen in his lodgings at the palace Dresser
started at the news, but seeming to recover
himself he begged permission to go and fetch
something out of his bed room. minute later
