was delighted to find there an English

she wanted TO buy n very pretty
buckle" The obliging clerk showed her
4 number Of buckles, and the girl Sc
lected n she thought would Just suit
her friend. Asking the price, she was
told that it was $4,000. The cleaning
little white stones that she had sup
posed were rhinestones were genuine
diamonds. The girl put this buckle
down without further questioning and
said: SHOW me something cheap; the
cheapest thing you have" Going to
another case the salesman brought forth
a tray, and announced that the buckles

there are cheaper buckles, even tiny lit

SOME FAMOUS CHIMES.

New York Ia known as q city Of chimes
the fame Of her bells .having reached to
other lands. In commenting on them,
the Culver says that they are not equaled
in any other American city, and in very
few European cities. New York also en-
Joys the distinction of a woman chime
ringer, possibly the only one In the
world, This woman, Miss Bertha
Thomas, who plays the chimes for Grace
church, has bells that are something
more than ordinary. Each one was ca st
in memory OF some distinguished psrson
and bears the name of that person in The
metal.
The Oldest chimes of the city are those
of old Trinity, an Episcopal church loved
of all New Workers, irrespective of
creed. The bells OF Trinity carry one bacK
to old days, for they were cast In 11SS In
England, by Mears. They weigh 1900
pounds.
The sweetest chimes in all America, 1t
Ia said, are in st. Andrews, another
New York church. They are played by
Grant ksnia, whose Easter, Christmas
and New Year chimes are celebrated.
The old chimes of the Collegiate church
on Fifth avenue have an interesting his.
tory. Their voices were heard on some
of the great occasions of the nations Ca
reer. On July 3, i776, they pealed out
when the Declaration of Independence was
read TO George Washingt ou~s army, and
again on July 4. 1920, they were heard on
the re-opening of the church after Its al
most complete destruction by the British
during the war. They were rung again
at the funerals OF Washington, Lincoln
and General Grant.

The snow and ice storm Of Sunday
night and Monday has done considerable
damage to trees in this city. Many limbs
of the trees, large and small have been
broken OH and In several instances 1t
was necessary to prop up the limbs with
timber to save the trees from breaking
all to pieces.
The largest tree in the city, an elm tree
in front OF the Raymond residence at
Cumberland Mills, was one of the trees
OF which the branches had to be propped
up The branches ON this tree spread ont
over circumference OF 800 feet. Several
trees along the route of the Western d.
vision OF the Portland Railroad oompa-
ny were so heavily laden with ice that
the branches dropped and struck against
the car windows. The linemen or the
company were kept busy all through the
day in trimming up these limbs SO
that they would not interfere with tine
cars. This electric light and telephone
wires were badly iced, but no serious
trouble was experienced, only a few wires
being down as result OF their weight
of ioa.
