1t was long fixed idea that silver
mixed with the bell metal improved
the tone, but this is now considered in
correct. The Acton Nightingale and
Silver Bell, two singularly sweet bells
at st. Johns college, Cambridge, are
said to have a mixture of silver, but
If true this is not believed by compe-
tent authorities to he the cause Of their
beautiful tone. This idea led to the
story Of the monk Tandio concealing
the silver given him by Charlemagne
and casting the bell in the monastery
of st. Paul of inferior metal, where.
upon he was struck by the clapper and
killed. In the ninth century bells were
made in France of iron. They have
been cast in steel, and the tone has
been found nearly equal in fineness to
that of the bell metal, but, having less
vibration, was deficient in length, and
thick glass bells have been made which
give beautiful sound, but are too brit
tie to long withstand the strokes Of the
clapper,- Gentleman's Magazine.

an engineer on the Baltimore d ONO
railroad, has been arrested at BEL
laire, charged with the murder OF
John Schulty, his fireman. The body
of the fireman was found hanging
across a girder of the bridge which

the loss of his fireman when he ar
rived here, but sent Conductor L. j..
Andrews back to look for him when
he reached the tower, one mile east OF
the station. Andrews went back and
found Schuly's body. At the post
norton it was found that Schulty
had evidently been struck on the

ment. 1t is not known that enmity
existed between the two men.

Play L. Always High and According
To Strictest Ethics

0Although IN a general way the
ascertain that gambling by young men
OF fortune - decreasing is true. part
of the average wealthy bachelors IN
come must bed educted as tribute to
the Goddess Of Fortune. He lays oc-
casionally in a gentleman's game or
poker. After stag dinner he may try
roulette or faro IN one of the gambling
houses that are nominally run as
private clubs. These private gamb-
ling houses are extensively appointed
to suit the sybaritic taste OF such
Young men. There is no ostentatious
scrambling for winnings in them, nor
does the loser bewail his losses. They
are run in accordance with the
strictest ethics of the gamblers code.
To one of these houses last winter a
Young bachelor of New York took his
friends one evening after dinner, and
when he had finished playing he gave
the proprietor his check for $3.50, 900
TO balance their accounts. Bridge
whist has proved even more expensive
to many an unattached man than poker
or faro. because it has hourished as
a social diversion In which women
might Join without losing caste. One
Young WOIudu, WuOoC oOSAoA POoAsACA
is unquestloned. said proudly at the
opera last winter that diamond
necklace which she wore had been
purchased with her bridge whist
winnings OF the month before, and no
one of her circle of friends found in
her statement anything but reason
for congratulating her on her skill.
Another woman. matron in whose
train may be found the wealthiest and
the poorest bachelors in New York's
smart society, gave series OF Satur-
day night bridge whist dinners and
the play which followed them was so
high that several Fashionable preachers
found timely texts in it. Another
form of popular gambling is called,
enthusiastically. speculation in stocks,
and SO far reaching has been its in
fiuence during the past five years that
few young bachelors of wealth have es-
capped it. These forms of dispensing
wealth like a gentleman must not be
overlooked in cataloguing the actua
expenses of the millionaire bachelor,
and to them should be added good
many different kinds of wagers made
during the year. '-Ainselee's Maya
