song and love-dream. Tennyson,
Gray, Poe, Longiellow, all have sung
them. And so in many another tongue
has many another poet all the world
over. From the belfry of Strasburg
Cathedral the watchers saw the storm
driving from the Vosges, and at the
sound of the ominous bell the traveller
out on the vast plain sought timely
shelter. Where, on the dangerous
and rock-bound coast OF Scotland the
great bell of Bell Rock booms its warm
ing toll to-day, hundreds OF years ago
old monks Of Aberbrothock rang their
ancient bell. The Norman Evening
Bell, or Curfew, is still rung in parts
of England, as guide to travellers out
OH the lonely marshes. In the high,
silent snowcrowned passes of the Alps
AS ut the famous Convent of st.
Bernard-and in the Russian villages
during heavy snowstorms, bells are
rung for the guidance of bewildered
travellers. The long green bell in Pisa IS
leaning tower rings out the saddest
message Of all the bells. For centuries
it has borne the death sentence to the
criminals ear as he passed across the
bridge to his execution. Legends
without end cluster round the voices
of the bells. Sailors often hear them
when far out upon the seas, and their
sound is an evil omen. Many a tale
is. told OF the mariner who heard his
funeral knell not long before his death,
the foam of the surge, too, having
assumed the appearance OF his wind
ing sheet. The belief in subterranean
bells is as old as the Christian church.
If you listen OH Christmas Eve with
your ear to the ground you will surely
hear them. To this day the fisher
women OF Simeon's Bay go down to
the edge of the waves to listen, and if
the warning bells ring from the deep,
nothing can induce them to leave-th
shore. Bells have frequently rung out
OF their own accord. II so happened
when Thomas Beckett was murdered

Some newspaper subscribers often
wonder why publisher will keep on
sending the paper when the subscrip-
ton has expired. The reason is this:
When the subscription is paid to a
certain time, the time expires and the
paper is stopped, it looks as if the pub
Usher doubted the integrity of the
subscriber, and nine times out OF ten
the subscriber will give the publisher
calling down" for insinuating that
his. credit is no good. Rather than
cast any reflection against neigh
boris honesty to pay small debt, ii
has become customary for country
newspapers to continue sending the
paper after the subscription has expir-
ed. The city weeklies and dailies do
not generally follow this rule as their
subscribers live at distance, and be-
sides they are not acquainted with
them and do not know their financial
standing. One should deem it an
honor to know that his credit is not
doubted when the publisher continues
to send the paper. Should the sub
scriber desire to have his paper discon-
tinued he should inform the publisher
and remit to date, if any amount is
owing.

Japan is a queer country; it is a
land OF contradictions and diversions.
We prefer sweet fruit, they sour; they
make saucepans OF paper; we weep at
misfortunes, they laugh; we think
white teeth beautiful; Japanese ladies
varnish their teeth black; they put on
the roof of house first and build the
walls up afterward; their carpenters
draw the plane toward them; their
horses shoes are OF straw; their tailors
in stitching, point the needle from
them; in their locks their key turns
from left to right; old men in Japan
fly kites and spin tops, while children
look on; japanese writers use paint
ing brushes, not pens, and write from
bottom to top, from right to left; in
Japan there are no lawyers, and the
doctors never make any charges or
send in any bills; our mourning gar
ments are black, theirs white; and
they mount horse on the off side.

Persistency is characteristic of all
men who have accomplished anything
great. They may lack in some other
particular, may have many weak
nessess and eccentricities, but the
quality of persistence is never absent
in successful man. No matter what
opposition he meets or what discour-
agements overtake him, he is always
persistent. Drudgery cannot disgust
him, labor cannot weary him. He will
persist, no matter what comes or what
goes; it is part of his nature; he
could almost as easily stop breathing.
1t is not SO much brilliancy of intel
lect or fertility OF resource as persis-
tency of effort, constancy of purpose,
that gives success. Presidency always
inspires confidence. Everybody be-
lieves in the man who persists. He
may meet misfortunes, sorrows and
reverses, but everybody believes that
he will ultimately triumph, because
they know there is no keeping him
down. "Does he keep at its he per-
sistent?' This is the question which
the world asks about man. Even a
man with small ability will often sue
coed if he has the quality of persis-
tence, where genius without it would
foil

1t is pleasing to see the republicans
and democrats willing to unite in
building and meeting in the same
wigwam. But isn't this as it should
be? After all, aren't the rank and file

same end? For prosperity for them
selves and a great and glorious future
for their country? The only difference
is in the means to the end.-Spokane

Round the old-world bells clusters
the romance of history. Sonorously
they have rung out the story of every
century OF Christian civilization. And
it is the same with the other bells,
which are to us but name. The JOY
GUS chime of the wedding bells, the
deep-toned toll of the funeral bell, the
exultant, changing bells of victory,
with at intervals the boom for the
dead; they are the measure of the Joy
and sorrow Of this life. Our Chris t.
mas bells are inextricably intertwined
in our hearts with that hallowed tide.
They are but faint, far echo of the
gladness of those jubilant bells which
through the length and breadth OF
America break the stiffness of the mid
night to herald the advent of Our
Lord. All great men have loved the
weird, wild melody OF the bells. Often
while Napoleon wandered through the
beautiful grounds Of Malmaison, when
every duty had been filled, he would
stay his steps to hearken to the village
bells and say sadly: "How they re-
mind me OF Briennei" Millet has
painted the Angelus into his noblest
picture. With the backward toll Of
the death-bells Berloz has heightened
the horror Of hls ''Sabbat." Heine,
lying in the summer meadows, weayes
hayward melody OF bells into a love-
