THE SWEET OLD BELLS.
Electricity Has Driven Out Their sooth.
ing Melodies.

Electricity Has Driven Out Their Sooth-
| ing Melodies.
Theorists on things eternal tell us
that when one passes into the higher
space his power and susceptibility of
sensation is indefinitely, perhaps in
finitely, enlarged If this be true,
and the discords of one world are
audible to the other, pity poor, SEN
sitive Poe. We know only sleigh
bells, fire bell, wedding bells and
death bells. We know an innumer-
able variety, so incessant, SO insist
ent and so generally inimical to
quiet and meditation that there is
never a moment to reflect upon the
possible beauty of their diminishing
tones.
Electricity has bewitched the
world" and as we use it now its
principal articulations are through
the bell-through the sharp assert
i've bell-whose tongue is quick and
restless as a woman's. There was u
sort of jingle to the horse car bells
we say was, because their knell has
certainly been sounded, and the
warning trolley gong which sup
plants them makes them by contrast
In our memory seem wonderfully
musical Trolley bells give forth. no
tinkling melody, no continuous tin
tinnabulations, but hasty loud and
warning clangor, full of hard asper-
ity. All the small electric bells are
similarly jarring- telephone, elexa-
tor and all that tribe of bells rung
by pressing a button in the wall
Their sounds are not softening
sounds nor tocsins of the soul, like
the dinner bells beloved of Byron.
Bells have been diverted from old
uses by our appropriation of the
force called electricity, have been
made to serve the utilitarian spirit,
which is modern, and to deplete
themselves of any romantic import
which may have remained from the
simple days of yore. Fire bells and
bells that ring at morning, noon and
evening of Independence day have
alone kept the full potency of their
meaning. They have done more;
they and their meaning have in
creased with our increase, which in
the first case is as deplorable as in
the last it is stimulating.

in verse and ends in prose.-Provi-

In the Home of Cholera.

How Harems Travel.

There were two of these harems on
board, one belonging to the governor
of Suez and the other to splendid
looking old man who, with his fam
lily, was ca the pilgrimage to Mecca.

and masters used to sleep on deck
near the harem Enclosures. but they
have now so far advanced with the
times as TO treat themselves to a
cabin. They, however, did not have
their meals below, but squatting in a
circle on their shoeless heels ate out
of one big dish with their fingers.
When not SO engaged OF saying
their prayers, they smoked a nevel

played at cards, chess or backgam-

THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 10, 1893.
By HIS FOOTPRINTS.

A Philosopher who denied the
existence OF God, was crossing the
desert of Sahara, accompanied by an
Arab guide. He noticed his guide
kneeling upon the burning sand ad
dressed a prayer to God. Finally,
one evening the philosopher, seeing
his guide arising after his prayer,
asked him With a contemptuous
smile: CHOW do you know there is
3 God?" The guide replied quietly:
GLOW can know that man and
not camel has passed my hut dur.
ing the shades of night? In the
same MANNER" he added pointing
with his finger to the sun, the last
rays of which were breaking over
the solitude of the desert, shat foot

A Tide Indicating CIncIr.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
has erected clock tower which
gives the time on three sides and the
height of the tide on the fourth
namely, that fronting the harbor.
The tide indicator consists essentially
of float, which by means of cord
and counterweight hung on a drum
actuates series of shafts with beyel
wheel gearing and moves hand or
pointer on dial like that of a clock,
marked with the necessary figures to
show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal glass and are illuminated
at night. The clock has an apparatus
for distributing the time to other
clocks in Rouen, and also for unity
ing the time, after the method adopt
ed in Paris Tit Bits.

Some time since the State Board

Some time since the State Board
of Horticulture of California import
ed some Australian lady bugs
(Rhizdrius ventralis) with the de.
sign of pitting them against the
black scale bug, which has been
creating great havoc in the orchards
in the southern part Of the state for
some years. The board announced
last week that the lady bug las
proved perfect success in its work
of exterminating the black scale bug
and colonies will be sent out to or
chardists, who will turn them loose
on the common enemy. The board
is also cultivating a colony of the req
scale parasite (Orcns chabybeus) for
the same purpose, and expects good
results.

California Tobacco.

The business of tobacco growing
in California is by no means expert
mental. The only trouble here is
that the tobacco grown in California
has too much strength, condition
that may be controlled by cultivation.
So far all the tobacco from this state
exhibited has been rated superior to
anything grown elsewhere in the
United States. The California wrap
per tobacco is found to havea higher
value than any produced in Florida,
where 81 a pound has frequently been
paid for an entire crop.-San Fran

A Pretty Costly Comma.

1t seems that some 90 years or SO
ago, when the United States by its
congress was making tariff bill, one
OF the sections enumerated what ar
ticles should be admitted free of
duty. Among the many articles spec
lied were "all foreign fruit-plants."
etc, meaning plants imported for
transplanting propagation on expert
ment. The enrolling clerk in COPY.
ing the bill accidentally changed the
hyphen in the compound word
''fruit-plants" to a comma, making it
read, "all foreign fruits, plants" etc.
AS result of this simple mistake
for year or until congress could
remedy the blunder all the oranges,
lemons, bananas, grapes and other
foreign fruits were admitted free of
duty. This little mistake, which any
one would be liable to make, yet could
have avoided by carefulness, cost the
government not less than So, 900, 600.

Detail In NoveIa.

Miss Braddon has addressed some
warm remarks to her critics by
means of notes, Furniture In Fic-
ton, printed in Sala's Journal. She
declares that there is perhaps no
subject in which the superior critic
and the average novel reader are
more widely opposed than in their
appreciation of detail in fiction. The
critic considers all still life in a novel
as superduous and impertinent; he
cannot tolerate an occasional page
devoted to buhl cabinets, Indian
draperies, Dresden china and AK
minister carpets. He perceives in
nate vulgarity in the writer who ex-
patlates on the rich surroundings of
millionaire commoner, or who
tries too conscientiously to paint the
rural manor house, the nobleman's
Ellzabethan mansion, the snug and
well formed rectory or the shabby
Bloomsbury lodging. All this sort
of thing enrages the reviewer of the
period, for it is not literature. he de.
clares. Miss Braddon is of a differ
ent opinion and quotes Homer, Rich
ardson, Miss Austen and Balzac in
support of her view.
