ing than one would conceive as possible
issuing from Il merely human assembly.
just Il word about this Charrington
mission, which is a feature of the east
end. Frederick C~harrington belongs TO
a wealthy family of brewers. About II
years ago he began to do a sort of street
missionary work in East London. near
his fathers brewery. His father threat
enea to disinherit him. but finally left
him Il share, though not a full share. in
the business. Once. on being tainted
on the street with wearing the blue rib

that ~riDbon:'--le was able to reply.
"A hundred thousand dollars"
He sold ont his interest in the brewery
to his brothers and built i'll Mile End
road, the ~prolongatioa of Whitech. 5el,
the Great Assembly hall. which had been
projected but never begun by Keith
Falconer. Every Sunday night 5000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service of the mission. and its fellowship

Antiquity Of BELL Founding.

AHAtstASs w tIIeH
The art of bell founding is undoubted-
ly CT great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches. although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
TO them in terms which seem to show
that they We're not unfamiliar things.
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire. there was a famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell founding-which indeedis one
of the many things those well abused
men have handed down 10 us. Then bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure Joke, the point OF which is
quite lost. lIore often they Were of a re-
ligious nature. sometimes. We fear, not
unmixed with d dash Of superstition, as
when the boil declares that its sound
drives away the demons Of the air who
caused pestilence ana famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
As a rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells. u defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches Of many enthusiastic Campo
noloSists. but which is likely to keep the
early history Of bells shrouded in dark
ness for a long time TO come.-Gentle-

silk from Wnnd PUN.

We are accustomed to the use of paper
made from sawdust. An attempt has
been made t. produce artificial silk from
a similar source, the pulpo of wood. Rib
bons Of many hues have been exhibited.
and the cost is said to be less than half
that of real silk ribbons, the fabric being
almost as good in appearance. But at
Besancon it seems that the production of
silk from wood pulp has been long car
ried on, and large works have been built
for the trade. 1t has never come into
common use, one reason being the ex-
treme inflamInability of the material, as
well as its want of durability.-London

Old Custom Handed Down

How many can tell the origin of the
