Bell Ringing In Seville.


The young Spaniards In Seville on
certain public holidays mount into the
clock towers of the cathedral. While
the regular bell ringers are reposing
these amateurs hang on to the bells,
throw them forward with all their
force and follow them in their wonder
full leaps. The uproar is amazing when
the bells of a cathedral are being bang
ed about in this original and furious
manner. If one enters, for instance,
the Giralda, at Seville, when the TWEEN.
ty bells are swinging at the same time,
the noise Is enough to give one a head
ache. The spectacle, too Of the ringers
hanging in space and grasping the bell
with their arms is very singular one.
1.-THE first time that I was witness Of
this operation" says a French tourist,
Il was passing near the Church Ell Sal
vador del Mundo. People were looking
up in the air. This led me to look up
like the others. At first l thought that
some unfortunate man had entangled
himself in the rope which Is used for
putting the bell in motion. soon
found out, however, that it was a mat
ter Of sport. Another ringer appeared
in his turn, suspended in the air or
holding the bell by the ears and follow
ing it in it's movement. Thus as the
great bell swung he hung with his head
downward toward the square and then
in a moment disappeared as the bell
again entered the belfry."

FOR THE CHILDREN
Trained Cats.

A Snowman In England has trained
number Of cats to perform some
rather remarkable tricks. One Of them
climbs a rope to the roof Of the build
Ing in which the show Is given and
there takes hold of the handle Of q
parachute, by which 1t descends to the
ground.
Another bit Of training Is even mere
wonderful. The average cat, you know,
can find no daintier morsel than
mouse or a canary bird, and when 1t
sees one 1t pounces on 1t as eagerly as
the tiger Of the jungle on its prey. But
this Snowman has cat that steps care
fully and gingerly over long line OF
mice and canaries, walking as II It
were terribly afraid of hurting some OF
them.
The Snowman says that he has train
ed all sorts of animals-bears, lions,
leopards and tigers-but the cat is the
most difficult to handle. 1t Is not that
It lacks intelligence, for 1t has plenty Of
that, but that 1t is unwilling to allow
any one to make it do what 1t does not
wish to do. He says 1t Is impossible
to depend on IT.; that 1t will perform
when It happens to be in the humor to
do SO, but If 1t be not In the humor
nothing will make 1t obedient. He has
thirty cats in his Circus" but he takes
sixty around with him, the extra thirty
being "understudies," which take the
place Of those that refuse to perform.
1t took him four years to train some
of his cats. He says that kindness Is
absolutely necessary. II you strike
cat once, she will never perform again.
The cat that walks over the line OF
mice and birds was brought up with
them from kittenhood and thus made
familiar with them.
