ANCIENT BELLS.
Well Known to the Egyptians Before the
jewish Exodus.

Bells were well known to the Egyptians
before the time of the Jewish exodus. In
the description of Aaron's sacerdotal robe
mention is made of the fact that upon the
hem of the garment there were bells of
gold alternating with pomegranates of
blue, of purple and of scarlet: "A golden
bell and n po-negranate, golden bell and
q pOmegranate upon the hem of tho robe
round about. And 1t shall be upon Aaron
to minister, and his sound shall he heard
when he gOsth into the holy place before
the Lord and when he cometh out, that he
die not.
Hand bells were in common use all over
the ancient world. The earliest use Of
bells in churches was for the purpose Of
frightening away the evil spirits which
were believed to infest earth and air, and
the earliest curfew was rung at nightfall
to rid the neighborhOod of the village or
town and church of demons. Most old
churches of Europe have u small door on
the north side, and at certain points in tAc
service this door was opened, and n bell
was rung to give notice to the devil, if he
CHANGED to be present, that lie might make
his exit before the elevation. By the COM
mand of Pope John TX church bells were
rung AS protection against thunder and
lightning.
The monument Of Porsena, the Etrurinh
king, was decorated with pinnaeles, each
surmounted with "a boil, which tinkled in
the breeze. The army of Clothaire raised
the siege of Sens on account of panic oc-
casioned among the men by sudden
chime from the bells of st. Stephen :
church.
The largest bell In the world Is in the
Kremlin at Moscow. Its weight is 250
tons, and the value of the bell metal alone,
not counting the gold and silver ornaments
which were thrown into the pots as vOti, G
offerings, is estimated at e66, sos, or about
$500, S25. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Banking and Boarding.

Boarding and banking are not kindred
occupations, and are rarely carried on in
the same building, Yet the word
"Boarding" is plainly displayed on a
sign thrust out from the side door of the
Delaware Bank building, and goes to in
dicatc that that portal which once per-
mi,trd the escape Of little girl who
gave the alarm which led to the arrest OF
Big Frank" and others Who were en-
gagged in robbing the bank, will now be
used to permit the entrance and exit OF
the much maligned buarder, as he goes
to and from his meals, Of which all Of
us have read SO much. 1t seems rather
odd to find Il boarding house carried on
over a bank, but the chnk OF gold may
be plcaSanter accompaniment to the
festal board than some of us might i'm.
agine, and probably the boarding
house will prove grand success.

a man shot his mistress, and the fourth
episode was that of boy who dis

he refused to fight, and on Monday Il
bullet crashed through watchmakcr'S

of a forest fire was only avered by the
prompt action of Officers Hutton and
Ford. who, by hard work and presence
of mind, succeeded in cxtinguishing the
flames.
Some small boys had started a bonfire
in the woods in the rear of the park, and
the brisk breeze famed the flames into
such fierce blaze that the boys could
not control it. They became frightened,
and when the officers, who had been
attracted by the smoke, arrived, the fire
was rapidly einy driven towards the
park buildings. They Immediately went
to work beating down the flames with
anything that came handy, and by hard
work finally extinguishcd them.
Who the boys were could not be
learned, as they ran away while the
officers fought the fire.
