The Princes Cast OF Clothing.

As the Prince of Wales has set the
pace il matters of fashion for many
years past it is something of interest to
know how his purchases are made. Ac-
cording to one Ct the British papers the
prince never orders less than eight suits
Of clothes ut time, for each Of which
he pays tie uniform price of $40. He
never wears Il pair of trousers more than
four times, and since his valet does not
fall heir to his wardrobe and as his dis
carded clothes are not among the per-
guisitcs of his valet, there is stock Of
thousands of them at Marlborough
house. At his death he will doubtless
have rs large a collection is did King
George ", the auction Of whose clothes
extended through three weeks. All the
princes clothes, old and new-except
his hats, which for some reason are kept
1T Sandringham-are stored at Mari.
borough house in what is known as the
brushing rooms" where several men
are kept busy looking after them. The
uniforms and state robes alone at Mari
borough house are insured for $50, coo,
SO that his entire wardrobe must repre-.
sent very comfortable fortune.

Weight Before and After Meals.

Why is it that a man does not weigh
pound more after eating a pound IF
food than he did before? A little refiec-
ton will readily explain this apparent
mystery. During the process of masti-
cation, deglutition, ETC., certain muscles
are brought into active play. Now it is
well established fact i'll physiology
that the exercise Of any muscle or set IF
muscles necessitates temporary waste
OF tissue, and that certain amount of
carbon is eliminated and passed off dur
ing the course Of meal. This loss,
however, Is trifiing as compared with
that Of respiration and perspiration,
both OF which functions are increased
during the operation of making meal
The length of time one may take to
consume Il pound of food makes but lit
tie difference in the losses. If it be eaten
leisurely there is but slight increase of
respiration or perspiration, whereas, if
it be hurried through, both are abnor-
mally accelerated. Hence by the time
the meal is finished the consumer has
lost apprcciably in both moisture and
carhonic acid.
The above explains, in a rough but
clear manner, why it is that man may
eat a pound of food and yet not weigh
but from one-third to five-eighths of a
pound more than lie did before the meal.

PANAMA BELLS IN CINCINNATI.

Two old and remarkable bells have
just been received by the Cincinnati
Bell foundry company from Panama,
South America, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The gentleman who shipped them
from Panama states in letter that
these bells have an interesting history.
The letter reads:
"You might desire to know something
Of these two bells sent you outside of
commercial value. The small one was
cast in the year 1000 and the large one
in 1720. They have been useless as
bells for years, but have served to carry
back the thoughts Of the Spanish popu-
lace here to the old days when this con-
tinent was not 80 great and so thickly
populated as at present
Il am sorry that public spirit was not
OF sufficient character to keep them as
relic of the days when our forefathers
fought with the natives and the wild
animals, which in that time were plenti-
full in this region.
1.-THE small bell was first placed in a
rudely constructed Catholic church. 1t
served both as call to worship and any
alarm when there was danger from the
natives. For many years it remained in
this old church but was eventually trans
ferred to the steeple of a new church at
about the year 1700 From this edifice
it was again moved to newer one, al
ways with great pomp and ceremony
and each time consecrated by the bishop.
But. like all other things of earth, it
became old, broken and was finally
abandoned as useless and thrown among
lot OF church rubbish, though it had a
history of the country and is probably
the oldest bell in America.
"The history Of the large bell, cast in
1920, is similar to that of the small one,
excepting that it was placed in the
steeple Of the San Rafael church and re-
manned there until it had become USE
less"
The bell cast in 1720 bears the follow.
ing inscription:
IS Rafael, Ammo Domini De, 1920"
These two old bells ars peculiar in
shape as compared with those of the
present day. The top of the bells is
nearly as large as the base. They are
made of the highest quality of copper,
with mixture of silver. Both of the
bells indicate that they have received
rough usage. From all appearances it
seems that after the clappers we're lost
a sledge hammer was used to strike them.
The Cincinnati Art museum has
made application for these bells and
they will be placed on exhibition there.
The small bell weighs 100 pounds and
the large one 200. The crown by which
the bells we're hung seems to have
rotted away in part from old age.
