The pious Dr. Shirley Palmer tells a
fish story that is calculated to make the
members of the st. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association Ito use a strictly
original expression) turn green with
envy" By some hook or crook-hoolc
no doubt-Mr. Palmer came into pos
session of fine brace of tench. They
were lively pair of fnny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in a pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought 10
more about the matter. That night at
midnight he was aroused, so he says, by
a groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner. but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav-
ing undergone the process of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.
This is told as a scientific fact, not as
''ish story" or in the way of joke.

Women take only too kindly TO the
role of an invalid; the sofa. the feccy
white shawl, the little cups Of beef tea
or plates of oysters. Once let woman
taste the dreamy pleasures of this sort
OF existence, and unless some shock or
sense of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest of her DAYS in the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her, she dresses in the daintiest of semi
toilets, and she looks 80 pretty and gem

noble one. But let my lord fall IN. aud,

The art OF bell founding Is undoubted-
~ Of 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.
sThe towers of the Saxon period have
belfries Of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire. there was 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 lfounding-which indeed is one
of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of a re-
hgious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with dash of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
As a rule, unfortunately they pat no
dates ON their bells, defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic campa-
nologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history Of bells shrouded in dark
ness for long time to come.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.
