Antiquity of Bells.

Before the time of bells various in struments were used to summon con- gregations to worship. In Egypt they are said to have followed Jewish GUS tom in using a trumpet. In some Or iental churches a kind of rattle gave the signal. In monasteries monks
 ook it in turn to go round the cells, calling the inmates to their devotions by knocking with a hammer, which was called the awakening instru- ment." Bells of one kind or another are, however, of very great antiquity, having been used in religious cere- monies by many of the ancient nations as a means of honoring their gods and summoning them to the feasts. For example, the feast of Osiris and Isis was always announced by bells. Pliny says that bells were in use long before his time, being called "Tin tin nabula. /" The use of small bells (nolae) in Eng land, says William of Malmesbury, may be traced back as far as the fifth century, and it is clear from Bede that even those of the larger kind (cam- panae), such as sounded in the air and called numerous congregation to di- vine service. were employed in Eng land as early as the year 6S0, being that in which the Abbot Hilda died.

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST
ose of christ's comtorters When H.
 Hung on the Cross.


 Birds played part at the crucihxion, according to legend. After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and alighted on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was a magpie, with beautiful aigrette on It's head and a long, waving tail, then the handsomest of birds, but the wickedest, chirping insults at the suffering Jesus. The other bird was a modest little bird, with gray plumage, which al cached the cross timidly, uttering cries of grief. With its wings it tried to wipe away the blinding sweat aud blood from the face of Jesus, while with it's Leak it tried to pluck away one of the horns which was piercing Jesus fore head. A single drop of blood fell on the breast of the pitying little gray bird, and gave the world the robin red breast. And to it Jesus said: Blessed be thou, little bird, which sharest my sorrows. May joy accompany thee ev- anywhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue as the sky above; thou shalt be the bird of God bearer of good tidings. As for thee,' said he to the magpie, thou shalt be an accursed bird. Thou shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and the beautiful colors on which thou pridest myself so highly. Funereal bird, thy message shall be only evil. and the rain from heaven shall always fall into thy nest" The peasants of France, in accordance with this tradi- tion, pierce the heart of magpie with a thorn whenever they catch one. In Spain the swallow is considered the good bird, and they say that when the Roman soldiers pressed the crown of thorns on Jesus brow the swallows came and tried to remove the thorns with their peaks. The Russians say that the swallows took away the nails which the executioners had brought, but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment of the crucif1xion the stork, moved with pity, cried "Styrkhain! Styrkhain!" God give him strengthD and since that time the stork has been consider ed sacred. It is also stated that Lon- ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with the spear, was converted on account of the blood which fell upon him. This was due to the cleansing power of that blood, according to the church. and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty of ho- lness.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

AdaptibllIty of the Rat.

Let's take look at our unwelcome guest, the rat. Does he reason? I'm sure he does. Laying aside the more or less probable yarns about his get ting molasses from jug with his tail and other stories. here are some facts: Modern builders and householders have fought the rat and tried to de- priye him of food and shelter in the land where he was born and where he may consider that he has some rights to life. liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness.
 They have put Instructions in the way of the rat that might have dis couraged our feeble native black fel- low, who was driven to the wilderness years ago by the formidable brown Norway" rat, which is now resident in every land where ships go. He is the "fittest," and he eft" all other rats out of business. He is sagacious and can reason; living example Of physical courage and brain power He knows no instinctiye routine life, such as bee leads and rats rise superior to their environment at any time when the environment proves to be a misft, says writer in Forest and Stream. The brown rat, like the old sailor, has adapted himself to steel ships and is at home in them, but it is in the cities that he gets in his fine work on gas fittings, lead pipe, cement floors, and brick drains. He chews cement floors in the weakest places and taps lead pipe for water. Sewer rats' have achieved a reputation on parallel lines with sanitary plumbing. and un- der the New York end of the Brook lyn bridge rats are earning a frigid living in the cold storage warehouses and sharpening their teeth on frozen fish and game where mans breath will turn to snow on a summers day. He is enough of a philosopher to take life as he finds it; he is a genuine "man of the world"
 As the burglar keeps abreast of the safemaker, so the intelligent rat steps to the march of civilization and cold storage This is not instinct" it is the result of thought, and thought i'm. plies reason.

 The Toilets of Animals.

Cats make the most careful toilet of any class of animals. The lion and the tiger wash themselves in exactly the same manner as the cat, wetting the dark, india-rubber-like ball of the fore foot and inner toe, and passing 1t over the face and behind the ears. The foot Is thus at the same time face sponge and brush. and the rough tongue combs the rest of the body

Ringing Gransa.

From Farmers Review. This proc ess is the removal of a small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose Of obstructing the down ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities in the portions of the cane above the ring, and to supply these portions richly with food materials. Experiments were tried last summer to test the results of ringing on sev- eral varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June 2I and July 5, when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most cases was one-half inch, but on some canes only one-fourth inch. The fol- lowing notes taken at the time of rip ening indicate the results on each variety;
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be larger. of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes.
 Brighton showed no difference in quality or size, but three days differ ence in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size, the berries averaged one-fifth larger on the ringed than on the unringed canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines.
 Agawain showed only slight differ ence in size and earliness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moores Early showed no perceptible difference in size. quality or earliness.
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that on the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only small section of the bark had been removed
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark overgrew the sections from which it had been re- moved Where the bark ovefgrows the section about the time tue first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terial in the cane is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and the fruit ripens with only normal quan- tfty of food material present. If the section is not overgrown, the excess of food remains, the fruit is forced to ripen with this excess OH hand, and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section of bark to be removed should vary according to the vigor of the cane and the variety. On strong canes of vigorous varieties three- fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-fourth Of an inch may be sufficient.
