THE BELLS OF LIMERICK.
A Pretty Story Concerning The Exist
. ence in Ireland.

Sh~S AA Al @t0AAs
The remarkably fine bells of Limerick
Cathedral were originally brought from
Italy They had been manufactured by
young Italian (whose name tradition
has not preserved} and finished after &
toll OF many years, and naturally enough,
he prided himself upon his work. They
were subsequently purchased by the prior
of the neighboring monastery, and with
the profits Of this sale, the young artisan
procured little villa, where he had the
extreme pleasure of hearing the sweet
Ginning bells from the towers of the
monastery and growing old in the bosom
of domestic happiness. This, however,
was not to continue. n i
The monastery, in which the bells were
hung was raZed to the earth. and the
bells-now the spoiis of the pillager-
carried away into foreign land. Their
founder haunted by his memories wan
dered over Europe. His hair grew gray.
and his heart withered before he again
found home or friend. In this disso-
luton Of spirit, he formed the, resolution
of seeking the place to which those treas
ures of his memory had been finally
borne. He sailed for Ireland, proceeded
up the Shannon; the vessel anchored in
the Pool, near Limerick, and he hired a
small boat for the purpose of landing.
The city was now before him; and he be-
held the steeple'of st. Mary's Cathedral
lifting it's turretted head above the smoke
and mist of the old cathedral town. He
sat in the stern and gazed fondly towards
it. It was an evening so calm and beau
tifully clear as to remind him of his own
native skies in the sweetest time Of the
vnar-fho dnafI1 nf tho sSnrir o ~, a e,Id
den, and amid the general stiffness, the
bells chimed from the cathedral. The
old Italian looked toward the fair city,
crossed his arms on his breast and lay
back in his seat; home, happiness, early
recollections, family, friends, were all in
the sound and with it, went to his heart
When the rowers looked around, they be-
held him with his face still turned to-.
wards the. cathedral, but his eyes were
closed and when they landed they found
him dead. 55s tsss

The expression "l6 to l." so much
used in discussing the silver question.
refers to the fact that an act of Con-
gress passed in 1894 directed that the
silver in silver dollar should weigh
sixteen times AS much as the gold in a
gold dollar. At that time one grain of
gold was worth sixteen grains of silver,
and such was then the ratio of silver TO
gold in the markets Of the world.
When the free coinage of silver was
stopped, owing partly to the fact, and
partly the decreased cost of mining and
It's largely increased production, its
price kept on falling until in 1894 the
ratio was 32.5 to |, thirty-two and half
grains of silver being required to buy
one grain of gold. In 1895 the ratio
was BIZ to 1.-Ex.

Big Sleeves Must Go.

The fiat has gone forth and the big
sleeve must go. No longer will the gay
feminine votaries of fashion vie with
each other in the baloon-like proper
tions OF their sleeves. It's to be succeed
ed by crinkled, wrinkled arm and a
pucker at the shoulder, which is as near
as a man can describe 1t. There has
been, II Is said, mighty protest. The
GOODNESS of the big sleeves has made II
a great favorite in hot weather. and the
envy Of the men. 1t will be sad loss
to the mercantile world, for 1t took
more goods to make sleeve than a
whole dress. But these are hard times.
and the balloon sleeve must go. A dirge
is in order on the passing of the big
sleeve.

There is more religion, philosophy,
humanity, and genuine common sense
in the words Love one another" than
in any other sentence that could be con-
structed. II people really would learn
TO love one another with a true spirit of
brotherhood, all the perplexing social
and economy questions would be solved.
1t is the solution of the labor question.
and of the financial question. The pol
icy of those who believe in imitation and
reputation is to arouse the prejudice
OF the poor against the rlch-to make
them hate one another. 1t is just as es-
sential to the man who has one dollar
that 1t be a good one, as to the man who
has million. 1t is all he has. II we
love one another-if we would get down
to the bed rock of honest principle and
brothery affection, there would be
nothing complex about these questions.
But when they are mixed up with pre-
1udice, misinfOrmation and delusion,

feet In length and 3 feet in girth, grows
TO the size of hog of two years and
weighing usually little over 100
pounds. Besides vegetables it also

The capybara belongs to the order of
animals called rodentia, comprising all
the gnawing mammalia, among which
are squirrels, rats, beaver, hare, porcu-
pine, etc. All of these animals have
two long chisel sharped incisor teeth In
each jaw; between the incisors and
molars there is vacant space, and the
lower jaw is so articulated as to allow a
horizontal motion only from back to
front. In the coarseness and scantiness

are webbed, though not to the extremi-
