BELLS WITH i HISTORY
Aichael's In Charleston, - ~
South Carolina. 49,:

A peal of bells that has had as at.-
venturous a career as any that hang in
old world towers is the famous peal Of
st. Michael's, Charleston, S. C. Five
times have these bells crossed the sea,
once as heap of ruined metal, and two
armies have they had to encounter or
escape; yet to-day the nine bells are of
unusual purity and sweetness of tone,
says Youths Companion.
Cast in England before the revolu-
tion, and brought over to st. Michaels,
they met with their first danger in that
war. That they might not be injured,
they were sent back to England. After
the war was over the people of Charles
ton wanted them, and it became the
duty of the first American minister to
England to negotiate for them. He
was successful, and amidst triumphant
ovations they were escorted to the
church.
All went well with them till the civil

For an oyster supper for the church
or Sunday school the menu is usually
composed entirely of oysters, or broiled,
stewed or panned chicken may be
served as the main dish. Raw oysters
broiled oysters, fried oysters and kee-
bobbed oysters are the dishes most
to be desired. If raw oysters and
creamed oysters are served, chicken
1n.y follow with mayonnaise or celery.
The meal would close with coffee,
cheese and toasted waters. Sweets are
seldom served at an oyster or fish sup

ya uSage4 and Celery.

Pick small sausages several times, so
that they will not burst in frying, lay
them in the blazer, cover closely, and
cook until crisp. Or, if there are cold
cooked sausages in the house, they may
be heated in the blazer in little but
ter or bacon fat. In either case, add to
the fat two tablespoonfuls of celery,
cut up very small, and let this cook two
or three minutes, so that it will be
done through, but not cooked enough
to lose the distinctive taste of fresh
celery. This may be served On toast or
crackers. 1t is also good served on
shredded wheat biscuit.-Good House,

Ojibway Indians, visited Mrs. Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow and her two
daughters the other day at the poets
old home in Cambridge.
Some weeks ago the aged chief, who
told Longfellow the legend of .Hia-
watha and who regarded the poet as
his intimate friend, made arrange
ments to come from his home on the
northern shore of Lake Superior to
Boston to visit him, but just before
he was to start he enjoined his grand
son and nephew to make the visit for
him, and they accordingly started. 1T
was not until they reached Boston by
way of Montreal that they learned
that Longfellow was dead, and their
grief was marked.
In company with Francis West, the
artist, they drove to Cambridge and
were warmly received. They asked
to sit at the desk where '.Hiawatha"
was written, and when they left they
invited Mrs. Longfellow and her
daughters to visit the tribe. "

CENsUs.TAK1NG IN PORTO RICO
There Are Many Natives Who Know
Neither Their Names Nor
Ages.

Many amusing stories are told by the
American enumerators in the country
districts, says Leslie's Weekly. The
women were very backward about Civ
ing their real ages. In many cases they
did not know the number of years,
but would answer by telling that it
was a certain number of years 'since
they were pretty" When they bios.
som into womanhood the Porto Rican
women are at their handsomest, and
therefore they count the years from
that well-remembered time.
The ludicrous side is more forcibly
presented when some coal-black hag
of name]ess age says, in answer to the
'impudent" question: "Ta tell de truf,
boss, n doan' know how ole I is, but
cts bout thurty yeas sence I was
prity." She really means that she is
about A years old, though the emu
merator quietly registers about 40"
in his little book. The men have still
different way to calculate their to-
tai number of years. When asked about
it they grin, scratch their heads, and
finally point to some small boys stand
ing near, and say they were as tall as
that boy when the San Felipe hurricane
| swept across the island.
The ignorance of the natives is shock
ing. Imagine, if you can, a human be-
ing so ignorant that he doesn't know
his own name. These will give nick
name, such as "Panchito," or 'Pepe, -
as the case may be. The only recourse
is to turn to the family for informa-
tion, and, if you are fortunate, it may
| be that the wife knows. After all, it
is quite necessary that every enumer-
ator should know that "Panchito''
means Francisco and that "Pepe" al
ways stands for Jose.
You will find many names peculiarly
characteristic of the Spanish race. I'm
nocent," for instance, may be the name
of some celebrated criminal. "Jesus''
is often found on the 'pay rolf of the
penitentiary, and there may be an
"Angel" III the adjoining cell. Peculiar
names are not all personal, for small
town situated not far from the capital
is called in plain English "Pig-sty''-a
nice name to have engraved on your
| cards. -

DIVORCE IN MEXICO. !


The laws of Mexico have always
been strict in regard to marriages and
divorces. Recently q case has been
decided in the City of Mexico which
attracted attention on account of the
plaintiffs prominence in society and
the legal points involved. In fact, the
civil court found it necessary to estab-
lish q precedent, as no case of the
same character has been tried in the
republic, says the New York Times.
In 1895 an American citizen, Edgar
Joseph Hahn, of St. Louis, married
a young Mexican lady, Senorita Par
Diez Barrosso. The wedding was So
ciety event and some of the chief dig
nitaries of the land were present.
Mutual disillusionment and serara-
tion followed, a baby girl being left
with the mother. The lady in the
case is the plaintiff, and, it is said,
she desires to marry again.
The rules of the Roman Catholic
church do not permit a divorcee to
marry. The question of one desiring
to do SO was not to be considered. by
the church, and there was no civil law
to cover the case. The laws of re-
form make a civil ceremony neces-
sary to legal marriage. AS Roman
Catholics consider marriage a sacra-
ment, both civil and religious rites
are the rule, and the former taking
place first. In case of annulment of
the marriage contract new vows may
be taken.
The plaintiff in question claimed to
have discovered after her marriage
that her husband had a wife living,
from whom he was divorced. There
fore, us her church did not allow her
to marry divorced manor him to
marry her-she prayed that the con-
tract be declared null and void. This,
it is said, the church was ready to do,
but, a civil ceremony being necessary,
it fell to the court to decide her real
status, and it has taken several
months to reach decision, as it felt
the responsibility of establishing q
law which, in view of the steady
growth of foreign colonies in the re-
public, may be frequently tested.
If the man had no right to marry,
the lady's situation was a peculiar
one-though she chose to accept it, if
thereby she is allowed to make a new
marriage. Fourth Civil Judge Jesus
F. Uriate decided the marriage to be
null and void, owing to prior union
on the mans part, though he had
been divorced from his wife in the
United States, where it was a lawful
act for him to marry again. AS he
had acted in good faith in his Mexican
marriage, no action against him was
taken, and each party had it's own
costs to pay.
Thus it is clear that, while Mexico
recognizes q foreign marriage, she
does not recognize a divorce secured
in any country as giving right to
marry again within her limits.
The status of the child did not come
before the court, it having died a few
months ago.
The consensus of opinion among
Americans seems to be that Mexico,
through her courts, has taken a wise
step in endeavoring to preserve the
sanctity of the marriage VOW.

handsome trappings that pertain to
his high calling. His education is Sc
we're and prolonged, bringing him up
to that point where his pride and in
telligence make him equal to the du-
ties required of him.
His nerves are severely tried by the
booming of the large drums he carries,
but in time he becomes as Indifferent to
their noise as war horses do to the sing
ing bullets. In the parade his rider
has his hands full in the use of the
sticks. He controls the horse by means
of reins fastened tc the stirrup strap
near the foot.
The fame of the drum horse is often
won on the field of battle, and some
times war horse that has won laurels
on the battlefield and can carry himself
with becoming dignity in parades is
promoted to the honorcd position of
drum horse in the regimental band.

Ways to Wear the Hair,

Many ladies are wearing their hair
parted little to the side, slightly
waved, and few soft curls straying
over the forehead on one side only.
Young girls dispense with the waving
and fold the hair loosely on either side,
SO that it falls over in an artistic fash
ion, but girl needs to be pretty to
wear her hair this way.-Washington
