sold several large bells in 1853. When such
corporations made merchandise of their
bells. parishes we've hardly likely to be
more ecrupulous. Bells were sold by in
cumbents, church wardens and parishon-
ers, sometimes with faculties, sometimes
without, sometimes to save the making OF
rates for chuch repairs, sometimes for
purely secular purposes. Strange and al
most incredible things took place. Stories
and traditions linger of bells stolen from
churches The people of Hertfordshire'
parish are recorded as divided in their
minds whether their ancestors sold a mis-
sing bell to a certain other parish or
whether the people of third parish stole
It. So little respect was paid to the bells
that In parish on the south coast snug
gled goods were regularly hidden inside
them, dashed fast to the clappers.
Many bells, old and new, have been, and
stu are, wrecked by careless and unskil-
ful ringing, and, notably, by the slovenIv
habit of "cloclSinR"-that Is, tying a cord
to the clapper and Jerking II against the
bell In a manner which checks the vibra-
ton Two medieval bells stiu Me cracked
on the floor of a west country belfry.
broken by lads who got into the belfry
and hammered on the bells with heavy
blows; nor Is this unique instance OF
such vandalism. And in our day many no.
bic and old bells, as well as many beauti-
ful old churches, have persisted unneces-
earIly In oyer-drastic and destructive res
toration.
Although the oldest English founders
very rarely dated their BELLS a few in
stances exist to the contrary. Lancashire
possesses dated thirteenth century bell,
and Lincolnshire one dated 1929. A Sussex
church has or had a bell by a Low county
founder, dated 1869. The medieval English
founders turned out such fine bells that
there was small temptation to employ for
eigners. In Scotland foreign work is less
uncommon. A few bells OF a Mechlin
founder have been found In England, and
one of these, hung In bell-cot on the roof
Of tiny seaside church in Cover, misled
a popular author into supposing that @
foreign foundry had existed in that Sc
cluded corner of Glamorganshire.

WHAT COTTON BUYS.
some Facts About Our Consumption
OF Tea and Coffee.

From New York Financial Chronicle.
Cotton Is the most representative article
Of export produced by the United States.
The foreign demand for It Is steady, and
for a long period of years Considerably
more than half the total product has gone
abroad to meet the demands of European
spinners. While wheat and other cereals
constitute heavy item In the settlement
featured goods swell the total TO enor-
nous proportions, cotton is, nevertheless,
the one staple commodity that the world
draws from America, and the one product
which it will be compelled to buy from us,
irrespective OF agricultural developments
or extensions elsewhere.
No wonder then, that cotton hns come
to be regarded as the great maker of ex-
change for this country The majority of
people, no doubt, continue to believe that
the product nets the nation millions of dol
lars after paying our foreign bills. Prac-
tically IL does, considering the expost as
one item In the balance sheet, but how few
on the other hand, have considered the
fact that cotton which yielded millions OF
surplus cash thirty years ago, Is now
barely paying the bill for the three COM
modities most commonly imported-name-
ly, tea, sugar and coffee? To show the
gradual change that has occurred IN our
trade relations with other nations. we
have compiled the following little tables,
which are worthy of study:
