How Sleigh Bell. Arc Mad.

"The making Of sleigh bells is quite
an art" says an iron founder. "The
little iron ball is too big to be put in
through the holes in the bell, and vet
it is inside. How did it get there? The
little iron ball is called the jingIet.'
When you shake the sleigh bell it jim
giles. In making the bell the jinglet is
put inside a little ball of mud, just the
shape of the inside Of Die bell. Then
a mold is made; just the shape of the
outside of the bell. This mud ball with
the jinglet inside is placed in the mold
Of the outside, and the metal is poured
to, which fills up the space between
the ball and the mold.
when the mold is taken of, you see
. sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as it
1s full of dirt. The hot metal that the
bell is made Of dries the dirt so that
1t a be shaken out. After the dirt
Is all shaken out of the holes in the
bell the little iron jinglet will still be
In the bell and will ring. 1t took a
good many years to think out how to
make a sleigh bell"

TIE Mind OF the Modern Actor,

The mind of the modern actor-we
speak. of course, Of the many, not of
ALLIES in his dancing legs. his side
splitting grimaces. his business, bis
exaggerations of peculiar lives of to.
Gay. The mind thus devoted to the
lighter tasks Of POPULARITY, skipping
also from II authors jokes to those
OF another on a moments notice, as its
possessor skips from town to town and
Q stage to stage, is not a mind that
can suddenly turn to the contemplation
and the study of Shakespeare with n
hope that the lines of the poet will get
the better Of the encounter. The actor
who Is to play Shakespeare acceptably
must not frivol away his intellectual
dignity. One canno sing Mary Had
q Little Lamb" with all the enthusi-
assn of his SOU for 300 nights and
nope to be equal to the Magnificent or q
Ie Deum or Siegfried's Rhine journey
on the three hundred and first night.
The tasks to which the modern English

tors. Now, we are not saying that
this Is not for the best; that in the

PROVERBS FOR THE WRITER.

To a writer a little money in the
hand is worth a great deal Of fame in

In the, beginning Of the twentieth
century it is not so hard to get into
print as it is to stay out.

Origin Of the Tomato.

The English word Of direct Indian
origin most frequently in use is to-
mato. A native Of tropical or sub.
tropical America, it was cultivated by
b subjects Of the Incas and Monte
zumas, as we'll as by the other semi
civilized natives, long before the ad-
vent of Europeans on this hemisphere
under the name of tumatl or tomatl.
Though introduced into Europe al
most as early as its congener, the DO.
tato, 1t was many years before it made
Its way into popular favor. There it
was first known to the English as love
apple, to the French as pomme glamour
and to the Italians as pomi d'amore.
and these names are still in use, per-
petuatng the old, widespread notion
that its use as food had an influence
on the amatory passions. Z.
