How the dead are made to pay for
the privilege o. dying! DIR. Charles
H. Hughes wants the estate of j. b.
McCuilagh to pay him $5,92O. His
bill is made up on the basis of 80 an
hour, and the odd minutes of overtime
are Jumped at $1,000. AS the estate
is valued at 800, 900, the doctors bill
will not make so much of a hole in it.
The undertaken, if he have a proper
pride in his calling, will try to make
good second; but even then the cost of
the deceased's severing his connection
with this mundane sphere will proba-
bly, amount to no more than one per
cent. of his savings. Only the rich
can enjoy the luxuries of death.

THE EASTER BELLS.
WHEN THEY FIRST BEGAN TO RING
THEIR INSPIRING MESSAGE.

The First Church Bell Ever Made-How
1t Revolutionized Church Architecture
and Implanted New Ceremonial In
the Rites of the Church.
There Is nothing more expressive of
Easter joy than Easter bells Even more
than the chaste and modest beauty of the
lily, or of yernal flowers massed around
altar and chancel do their thrilling, exuIt-
ant tones typify the gladsomc spirit of
Christianity's chief festival, prociaiming
the glorious tidings of Christ triumphant
over death, the inspiring message of eternal
life foreyermore A benison, a psalm of
thanksgiving, an anthem of victory, peals
forth from Easter bells in every cline. cir
cling the earth from pole to pole and softly
fiuttering heavenward to the great white
throne.
When and where did the first bells ring
out at Eastertide? What manner of folk
were the first worshipers who listened
with rapt attention to their commanding
and clamorous call? Was it in Palestine
or Egypt or Greece or the farther western
countries? Many times hoye thoughtful
Christians asked themseivr, this same
question, and great is the number who
would be glad to know the answer To
learn it we must take "a look backward
over nearly 16 centuries, before the great
schism of 729, when the Christian church
was one and undivided.
About the year 43l, when Naples was a
settlement OF Roman villas in the luxu-
RANT plains Of Campania, there lived in
Nola, a considerable city of that province,
one Paulinus, now II duly canonizcd saint
of the Roman church. He was not only

church. And he was bishop of consider

handed down TO us both by history and
tradition.
Besides that, he was a church builder
In Nola, the seat Of his bishopric, he erect
ed II basilica, or church modelled after
the style of the Roman courts of Justice,
many of these structures having been
handed over by Constantine to the carly
Christians as places Of public worship.
Paulinus dedicated his basilica to st. Felix,
In celebration of whose virtues he annually
composed an ode, calling him his patron,
his father, his lord
Now, it happened that in the monastery
ruled by Paulinus small hand bells were
rung to notify the flock to betake them
selves from the refectOry or the dormitory,
as the case might be, to their lectures and
prayers, this usage of the bell being tla-
rived from the ancient Romans, who were
summoned to their public baths by these
little tintinnabulators, and they were used

serving their great convenience and noting
further the great carrying power of their
tones, Bishop Paulnus conceived the idea
of utilizing this effective instrument of
sound to notify the monks and the neigh

Ices.

DIONYsIUS' EAR.
BY j. II. CoNNELLY.

Copyright, 1897, by the Author
General Oleg Gedeonoff was huge old
man. His body was immense, his limbs
were tremendous, and his head-with its
hirsute wealth of grayish hair, big beard
and great mustache-seemed simply vast
He was so large that, even at distance,
people felt a sensation of being jostled If
he was in sight. When he conversed, the

short, nature had evidently made him TO
be governor, and the ear, in recognition
of his long and gallant service in the
army, appointed him to rule over the PROV
ince of Kabarda. He was styled general
because that was his last rank in the army,
and indeed he looked as if he never had
been anything else, as if he had been born
a general.
Few if any persons ventured to affirm
that Kabarda was not dull. But General
Gedeonoff did not complain of it. He cared
nothing for social life, had distractions of
his own and probably would have been
contented in any place where he could be
governor. And he was pretty good gov

The girl burst into tears, and he glided

her, Remember at Easter mathis you

in the governors study for orders, as was
his daily duty, Boris found there his mas

THE STRIKE ENDED.
As q Result Of a Conference the Miners
will Resume Work on 65-Cent Basis.

The great miners strike, which was
declared on July 4. was brought to an
end Saturday evening, so far. at letst
as Western Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indi-
ana and West Virginia are concerned,
by the action of the Interstate con-
ventiOn Of miners. which has been in
session at Columbus since Wednesday.

er or not the mines resume work with

firms affected by the suspension an

cent rate, or an equivalent. the miners
can go to work Immediately. Other
wise the strike will be continued 10
days longer when. regardless Of local
conditions, the great conflict will be
declared off.
The l0-days limit is inserted to give
all the miners in the districts like IL
linois and West Virginia, where the
65- cent rate has opposition, a reasona
BILE time to force the acceptance of the
price. II at the end of 10 days no ad-
justment has been reached in such dis
tricts, the men in other fields will not
be withheld from their work longer,
but will be permitted to go into the
pits.
If, on the other hand, the operators
who desire peace are able to have the
rate indorsed by a majority of their
number in the five States before the
Today limit expires. just so soon will
the strike be officially declared off.
