ConsecratinG Church Bells.

The custom Of cOnsecrating church
bells was once common to nearly all
denomina tons, but 1t is now confined
principally to the Roman Catholics.
The old form was to wash the bell with
holy water, anoint 1t with oil and mark
1t with the sign Of the cross, and to
some extent this form is still used. At
the time Of the reformation in England
the prejudice against Roman Catholic
ceremonies was so strong that instead
Of being blessed new bells were occa-
sionally turned up and filled with
punch, which then was drunk by the
participants in the occasion.-London

The MOha IN, e.iHn judgment Day.

The Koran, sura 81, has this to
say concerning the general Judgment
day" which nearly all religions teach
in common: when the sun shall be
folded up, and when the stars shall
f&ll, and when the mountain shall be
made to pass away, and when the wild
beasts shall be gathered together, and
when the seas shall boil. and when
souls shall again be joined to their
bodies. and when the girl who hath
been buried alive shall ask for what
crime she was put to death. and when
the books shall be laid open. and when
the heavens shall be removed. and
when hell shall burn fiercely. and when
paradise shall be brought near. then
shall every soul know what it hath
wrought"

Opening at the Opera House.

The first show of the season at
Heuck's Opera House was played
Thursday night to a full house,
not more than 90 or 80 seats in the
house being vacant
The play was "Alphonse and
CASTOR musical farce comedy,
and while it was not all that was
expected, most people were salts
fed. Old songs, jokes, etc., pre-
dominated, which to our 'regu-
lars" was rather tiresome.
Manager Heuck had his opera
house in spick and span shape,
and from his broad smile on that
night we believe he was more than
satisfied with the attendance.
New lace curtains have been hung
over the boxes, and with few ex-
captions all the stage folk who
play here say it is the finest house
in the State for a town the size of
BrookhaVen, anyway our folks
are satisfied and better shows are
coming than Alphonse and Gas
