Needed in the Philippines. Though

from Gen Chaffee, OF the Philippines.

The Harvest Bell.

A quaint but dying custom dating
from the middle ages, and which still
obtains in few country parishes, is
that of ringing the harvest bell morn.
ing and evening. The time varies IN
different localities. For instance, at
Drifield, in Yorkshire, the bell rings
at five in the morning, while at Wiling
ham, in Cambridgeshire, it rings at
seven: and the times too, vary in the
evening. Authorities differ as to the
origin of the custom, some antiquaries
holding that the morning and
evening prayers in the Roman church
were held earlier and later in the har-.
vest time, hence the cleaners bell.
Others maintain the use of the bell IS
that all cleaners may have a fair start,
no one being allowed in the fields be-
fore or after beIl-ringing; in fact, that
the custom is similar to the signal
given to the collectors of vraick in the
Channel islands, custom sanctioned
there by an old Norman law. The
ringers were formerly paid by. a por-
ton of corn from each crop, but pay
meHt is now usually made by money

rot so sanguine with regard to the

were several months ago. Recent re-
ports from Gen. Chaffee, at Manila,
do not encourage the idea of any ma
terial reduction at this time, and,
taken in connection with the massacre
of American soldiers in Samar, leads
the war department to approach the
subject with great care.

up close to a detachment and either
bolo the men or shoot and escape
into the long grass and vegetation
without danger. Lukban and about

tors of these surprises. They engage
