The Story of n Bell.

In the church tower of the little town
Of Grosslaswitz, in the north Of Ger.
many, hangs a bell, and on it is engraved
its history, surmounted by bas-relief
representing a six cared stalk Of corn
and the date, Oct. 10, 1929. This is the
story of the bell: At the beginning of
the last century the only church bell at
Grosslaswitz was so small that its tones
were not sufficient to penetrate to the
ends of the village. A second bell was
badly wanted, but the village was poor,
and where was the money to come from?
Every one offered to give what he could,
but the united offerings did not amount
to nearly enough for the purpose.
One Sunday when the schoolmaster,
Gottfried Hayn. was going to church he
noticed growing out of the churchyard
wall fourishing green stalk of corn,
the seed of which must have been dropped
there by passing bird. The idea sud-
denly struck him that perhaps this one
stalk of corn could be made the means
of producing the second bell they want
ed so much. He waited till the corn was
ripe, and then he plucked the six ears on
it and sowed them in his own garden.
The next year he gathered the little crop
thus produced and sowed it again, till at
last he had not enough room in his gar
den for the crop, so be divided it among a
certain number of farmers, who went on
sowing the ears until in the eighth year
the crop was SO large that when it was
put together and sold they found that
they had enough money to buy beauti-
full bell, with its story and it's birthday
engraved upon it and cast of the corn.

PRETTY FAIR PAY.
Mr.. Foster Said to Get More Than $780,
600 Tor Two Months Work.

|
1t is claimed that I0hn W. Foster
will receive more than &laS, 600 for two
months service as a diplomatic adviser,
helping to let Ii Hung Chang down as
easy as possible with the japanese Mr..
Foster is one Of the most experienced,
if not one of the ablest, commercial dip
lcmats in this country, perhaps in the
world, but the Importance OF his service
to the Chinese government can hardly
be overestimated, as is clearly shown by
a st.-tement made by wide awake, mem
Der Of Che diplomatic corps.
Before John w Foster left this
country, . said this gentleman, che had
made a contract With the Chinese min
lister by which he WAS to receive a very
large sum for his services as adviser to
the Chinese government in the efforts
then being made to secure peace with
Japan. The cable today indicates that
he has earned every penny Of it, When
Mr.. Foster was first engaged, it had not
been decided to send Ii Hung Chang to
treat with Japan The first thing Mr..
Foster did was to insist that he be called
to Picking, restored to his former honOrs
and sent out with full powers to negoti-
ate treaty. He knew that the Japanese
would receive the veteran statesman
with greater courtesy than they would
extend to any other living Chinaman,
and he shrewdly guessed that Ii Hung
Chang would command some sympathy
for the harsh treatment received by him
at the hands Of his emperor. The result
has fully justified this expectation. Lii
was received with distinction, and since
the unfortunate incident Of his attempt
ed assassination, which, however, i'll
view Of the happy outcome, can hardly
be called unfortunate, the mikado has
done everything in his power to maxi
his task an easy one. The shrewd Foster
was constantly at his elbow, and when
Japan demanded an indemnity Of 3OO,-
100000 taels it was at Fosters sugges-
ton that Ii besought the japanese min
lister not to cripple the revenues of China
for all time by demanding SO high a
price for peace The plea was successful,
for the japanese finally consented to
put the amount at 900, 900, 900 taels AS
a tael is worth about 70 cents in gold the
minister's shrewd work has probably
saved China more than SO, 900, 900, SO
that the emperor can we'll afford to pay
the Americans little bill ''-Detroit

Garnet Weaving,

Tt was in France that the first serious
effort was made to establish the manu-
facture of carpets in the fashion of the
orient This was in the reign of Louis
XIV and under the direction of his
Minister Colbert. The royal manufacto-
ries were designed to furnish all manner
of furniture, and in the Gobelins and
Beauvais factories $50 master weavers
wove rich tapestries. During the revo-
luton of 1889 these factories Were al
most suppressed, but Napoleon revived
the manufactures and furnished his pal
aces with their loom work. The nation
al workshops of France still continue,
and the woven stuffs of Gobelins, Beau
vais and the Savonnerie are accounted
among tho finest in Europe.
The knowledge of carpet weaving was
presumably introduced into England
from France. During the persecution of
the Huguenots tho carpet weavers, with
other artistic craftsmen, fled for refuge
to England and established themselves
in various towns. Administer, in Devon
shire, was one of these, and also the
town of Wilton. These places retained
their supremacy for long time, but
with the introduction of the jacquard
loom and various improved processes of
manufactur the industry was success
