Low Belllng,

What used to he known as "low bell
ing was formerly a common sport in
England and an effective method Of
capturing all sorts of birds which roost
on the ground. from larks to cartridges.
Boys still sometimes amuse themselves
with 1t in the rural districts of Eng
land. and the peasants OF Spain and
the south of Europe make a business
of 1t. The only necessary apparatus is
a large bell. Ike a cowbell or a dinner
bell, and a lantern with a reflector to
cast n bright ray of light on the ground.
The fowler turns out on dark nights
and walks the fields ringing the bell
steadily and searching the ground in
front with the lantern. The noise or
tie light. or the two combined. have
such On effect III dazzling or terrifying

Compared with the lowest prices Of

Most interesting Of Men,.

kuskin's kindness had its TootA In
Everything in life had conspired to
spoil him. He was often willful and
Maynard and extravagant, but the bet
ter elements of his being prevailed over
those which, to HIS harm, were to gain
power when he was released from the
controlling influence Of his fathers
good sense and his mothers authority.
The extraordinary keenness OF his per-
ceptions of external things. the vivaci-
~ OF his intelligence, the ardor Of his
temperament, the immense variety Of
his interests and occupations and the
restless energy and industry with
which he pursued them, made lin n
OF the most interesting Of men. And
combined as they were with deep pO-
etic and deeper moral sentiment as
well as with n born desire to give
pleasure, they gave to intercourse with
him a charm which increased as ac-
friendship. His mind was indeed ut
this time in a state of ferment. He
was still mainly busy with those topics
of art and nature to which his writings
had hitherto been devoted. But his
work in the field had led him into 9th
er fields of Inquiry, which stretched
wide and dark before him. through
which no clear paths were visible and
into which he was entering not with
out hope Of opening a way. Hence
forth his chief mission was that, not
of the guide in matters of art. but of
the social reformer.-Charles Eliot Nor
