THE LARCHMONT REGAT14.

all nonsense to say that man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of fight and all
through it. OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said Of General Sum-

English Policemen.

The police regulations in England are
very different from those common in
this country. The policeman there is
not nearly SO autocratic as he is here
and would never think of using club
or striking man, except in self defense.
j. Gilmer Speed gives this story Of their
mild sway:
Upon one occasion a man came into
my Office and created n disturbance. l
ordered him out. He declined TO go, so
sent for policeman. A sergeant came
| said to him:
"This man does not belong here and
refuses to leave my Office. Will you
please take him out?'
expected the sergeant to tell the man
he must go, and then if he did not move
on expected to see the officer remove
him by force. Not at all. The sergeant
said, "You had better leave here, sir"
and his tone was as respectful and civil
as though he was asking favor.
The man manifested no intention of
leaving, and the police officer began an
inquiry as to his reasons for wanting to
stay. This so exasperated me that put
the man out myself, greatly to the
astonishment and apprehension Of the
officer.
He explained to Inc that had no right
to interfere in the matter had brought
to his attention, and that doubtless the
intruder would get out warrant against
me and have me arrested for assault.

The Chimes in Old Trinity.

There is n delightful mystery about
the Trinity chime. 1t is the oldest in
this country, except the chime of Christ
church in Philadelphia. But very little
is known of the history of Trinity's older
bells. From the inscriptions upon them
it is supposed that the five bells that at
first composed the chime were cast in
London. One more, it is believed, came
from England in 1888. when the second
Trinity church was erected. When the
present Trinity church was built in 1S45
there were six old bells in the steeple.
The largest one was cracked and was
sent to Troy to be recast, and at the
same time four more Troy bells were
bought.
Consequently the Trinity chime now
consists of ten bells, five cast in England
and five cast in Troy. The largest
weighs 3,S05 pounds, the smallest 750.
and the whole together about $4,000
pounds. They are hung in such a heavy
wooden framework that the full volume
of their sound is never heard in the
street. Even before the improvements
in Grace church, Trinitys method of
ringing was considered primitive by com
parison.-New York Sun.

The Father of Pharaoh's Daughter.

Who was the father of pharaoh's
daughter? What was his name? The
word pharaoh was simply a title, and
the phrase ''pharaoh's daughter" gives
no more information than ''the kings
daughter" or "the lords daughter. 4"
Three pharaohs of the name of Thot-
mes, three Of the name of Amenhotep
and two of the name of Rameses have
had their names advocated to be the
father Of the princess who rescued the
infant Moses. There is a controversy
going on about it-a controversy revived
by the Rev. Professor Heckler at the
congress of orientalists in London.
