There is curious legend connected

1t Is said that long, long time ago a
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on stile in the churchyard and say
Ing, "Come to church, Thompson; come
to church. Brown" and so on. Being
very much surprised, he asked what it
meant and was told that, having no
bells, they called folks to church in
this way. The traveller remarked that
1t was a pity so fine church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men If they could make
three for the church, promising to pay
for them himself
They undertook to do this. They
were respectively tinker, a carpenter
and shoemaker. When next the trav
eler passed that way. he found tho
three men ringing three bells which
said, tTing, tong, pluff," being made
respectively of tin, wood and leatherl--

Writing extensively OF dragon dies
Lafcadio Hearn says in his book, "a
Japanese Miscellany" of @the dragon
ay Of the dead"
Unlike the equally weird name
kyurei-tombo, or ghost dragon fly,' the
fern shroai-tombo does not refer to
HE appearance Of the insect, but to
the strange belief that certain dragon
flies are ridden by the dead, used as
MINCED steods.
From the morning Of the thirteenth
the midnight Of the fifteenth day Of
N old seventh month the time Of the
stiyal OF the Bon-the dragon flies
Is said to carry the hotoke-sama, the
kgust spirits OF the ancestors, who
len revisit their former homes. There
vsre, during the Buddhist All Souls
Mldren are forbidden to molest any
gon flies, especially dragon flies
1t may happen to enter the family
yelling.
'This supposed relation of dragon
rs to the supernatural world helps to
@pIain an old folk saying, still current
some provinces. to the effect that the
#id who catches dragon flies will
