The Chicago Herald says: In some OF
the New England towns and villages it
is still customary to ring a church or
factory bell at 8 o'clock at night, aud
no further back than war times it was
general practice in cities OF over 70, QUO
people. This custom perpctuates the
curfew (couvre fcu, cover fire. OF Will
liam the Conqueror's time, when church
bells we're rung to notify the people that
Il was time to bank the fires and put out
the lights. There is strong New Eng
land element in Brooklyn, and it may DO
owing to this fact that the practice has
been maintained in the neighboring city
of rigging the City Hall bell at 9 o'clock
every night. 1t is good thing on somc
accounts because it enables the residents
Of the vicinity to set their clocks and
watches.

Why he Didn't Tell Him.

George Butler, Canon of Winchester
Cathedral, was the son of Doctor But
ler, the head master of Harrow. The
boy grew up to be a dignifed aud
serious man, a power in philanthropy
and the church, but that he had de-
mure sense of humor is shown by one
auecdote of his earliest years.
