There were two substitutes for cam
dies. The one was the ancient oil lamp,
the croosie (French creuseN, triangu-
lar metal saucer with an upright hook
at the base to be hung up by. There
was an inner saucer, movable, to grad
uate the use Of the Oil. At the apex
of the angle was fame, coming from a
wick made of pitch of rushes, which
must be cut at full moon, as the flame
was thought to wax and wane with the
moon if cut at any other time. The
other substitute for the candle was the
bog candle. 1t was made by splitting
up the resinous logs of the primeval
frs that are found imbedded in the
boys.
They were left to dry ct the f1reside
over the cruck or chain that held up
the pot over the fire. The candlestick
called the peerman,. was stone with
a hole in it's center, into which was fix
ed pillar of wood about four feet high
and tipped with a cleft piece Of. iron
into which the candle fitted. The nose
Of the candle was always turned to the
door-BlackwOOd's Magazine.

The Big Bell of Burma.

One of the sights of the Shwe Da-
gone pagoda in Burma is a gigantic
bell of bronze, weighing forty-two and
a quarter tons and said to be the third
largest bell in the world. the largest
being in Moscow and the next largest
in Mingin, also in Burma. After con-
Quering Burma the British undertook
to carry the great Rangun bell to Cal
cutta as trophy, but dropped it over
board in the Rangun river, where it
def1ed all the efforts Of the engineers
to raise it. Some years later the Bur
mese, who had not ceased to mourn
its loss, begged to be allowed to recov-
er it. Their petition was granted, and
by attaching to it an incredible number
of bamboo floats the unwieldy mass of
metal was finally lifted from it's mud
dy bed and triumphantly restored to
it's place.

Acute Vision of Birds.

Birds have very acute vision, per-
haps the most acute Of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the case
with man. Consequently a bird can
see sideways as well as objects in
front Of it. A bird sees, showing great
uneasiness in consequence, a hawk
long before it is visible. to man. So,
too fowls and pigeons find minute
scraps of food, distinguishing them
from what appear to us similar pieces
of earth or gravel. Young chickens
are also able to find their own food,
knowing it's position and how distant
it is as soon as they are Matched,
whereas q child only very gradually
learns either to see or to understand
the distance of objects. Several birds,
apparently the young Of all those that
nest on ,Ie ground, can see quite we'll
directly they come out OF the shell, but
the young birds that nest in trees or
on rocks are born blind and have to be
fed

Weddings In Korea.

At Korean marriage every one rides
on horseback and in single file. First
comes manservant who carries in
both hands an imitation life sized wild
goose, covered by red scarf. Then
come the bridegroom, his friends and
all the servants he possesses or is able
to borrow. At the brides house the
servant first deposits the goose on a
bowl Of rice: then all dismOunt, and,
leaving outside their outer robes, their
hats and their boots. they enter the
house and make as much noise as they
possibly can The pandemonium does
not cease till the guests are paid to go
away. A feast follows and then the
bridegroom Is taken to his bride, whom
he sees for the first time.

warehouse at that place. The boys
first denied having done this, but
after wards admitted it, and when
they went to the place where they
had the stolen goods cached they
found that someone else had been
there and taken them from the hid
ing place. One of the boys was
fined SIS and the others were allowed
to depart with a good lecture and
probably a whipping from their
parents.
The work on all of the new build
ings for Redwood Falls progressed
rapidly during the past week, the
weather being exceptionally favor
able. The front is being placed in
the K. OF p. block, while about all

ed. The first story of the Francois
block was finished last Friday night
and presented beautiful appear
ance with the stone trimmings, the
First National Bank sign being IN
usually neat. The stone work of
the library building was delayed a
couple of days on account of a lack
of stone, but is now progressing
rapidly.

of making coffee, which has a local
reputation, was also described.
Mrs. Lutz gave recipe on the MAX

ladies to purchase a soap stone
gridle, the latter needing no greas-

disagreeable smoke while the cakes
are being baked. Mrs. Little read
an article on rhubarb, stating that
July was the best time for making
jelly from the plant, and then told
of several ways in which to cook

told how to fry beefsteak, and his
