Richard lie Galliene, in n Of his open

Undoubtedly the incest way to get
married is Oh the sly, and indeed it is
at present becoming quite fashionable.
Many young couples Of my acquaint-

concealing the fact beyond their own

saying a word to anybody and returned
full blown housekeepers. with at home
days of their own and everything else
like real married people-for, as the
old lady said to me, You can never be
sure of married people nowadays unless
you have been at the wedding

Bells were we'll known 10 the Egyptians
before the time Of the Jewish exodus. In
the description Of Aaron's sacerdotal robe
mention ia 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 pomegranate, golden bell and
a pomegranate upon the HON of the robe
round about. And II shall be upon Aaron
to minister, and his sound shall be heard
when 10 gosth into the holy place before
the Lord and when he coneth 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 tho purpose of
frightening away the evil spirits which
were believed to intest Garth and air, and
the earliest curfew was rung at nightfall
to rid tho neighborhood of tho village or
town and church of demons. Most old
churches of Europe have small door on
tho north side, and at certain points in tho
service this door was opened, and bell
was rung TO give notice to the devil II he
CHANGED to be present, that he might mako
his exit before the elevation. BY the COM
mand of Pope John TX church bells wero
rung as u protection against thunder and
lightning.
The monument Of Porsena, the Etrurian
king, was decorated with pinnacles, each
surmounted with bell, which tinkled In
the breeze. The army of Clothaire raised
the siege of Sens on account of panic oc.
oasioned among the men by sudden
chime from the bells of St Stephens
church.
The largest bell in the world is in the
Kremlin at Moscow Its weight is $50
tons, and the value of the bell metal alone,
not counting the gold and silver ornaments
which were thrown into the pots as votiye
offerings is estimated at e66, 565, or about
$3.50, S25.-St Louis Globe Democrat
