Science of Bell Rinuino.

1t was Sunday morning, and the bell
ringer had just finished the chimes
that called the godly to church. Bell
ringing is a science. Did you know
that?" he said. 1T is called campa-
nology, and there are abstruse and
technical terms in it. like Kent treble
bob 'Stedman cinques.' double court
bob,' 'dodges.' 'noils' and 'stingoes.
Each of these terms defines a certain
phase or kind of bellringing. In Eng.
land iIere is a society, the Central
Council of Bellringers. that every cam
panologist desires ardently to be long
to.
Maybe you think bellringing is sir
pie? Do you know what peal is? a
peal. in ringers parlance. is a series
of 5000 changes rung upon chime. no
change occurring more than once"

Wedding Rings.

The practice of wearing the wedding
ring is of high antiquity. and is trace
abl" TO the times of the Romans.
amongst which people It may have
originated. but more probably 1t is OF
mu:h earlier origin. Its exact signifi.
cation amongst the Romans was a
pec.ive bridegroom at the time the
marriage contract was made. II is
said that the third finger OF the left
hand was selected for the ring be-
cause nerve or vein was believed TO
pass from that finger direct to the
hol.rt.

A Baked Soul.

A boy who had been working in a
bakershop for some time was just
about to finish his trade. One night
when the boss was gone he broke the
marble slab he nodded his loaves on.
So he went to the marble-yard to Sc
cure another, but could not find one.
On his way back he passed a grave
yard and as it was very dark he
jumped over and pulled up a small
headstone about the right size and
took it back and finished his job. The
next day, after the bread had been
delivered, nearly all of it was sent
back. The baker looked at it and
broke several loaves open. but found
nothing wrong. Then he happened
to turn one of the loaves over and
found on the under side of every loaf

SLIPPED DOWN CREASED ROPE.
Engineers Peculiar Experience While
Working in Africa.

WoTHIH9 III NITICds
A young civil engineer named Fox
had thrilling experience while super
intending part of the construction OF
the great bridge over the Zambezi riv-
er at Victoria falls, Africa. He had de-
scended to the waters edge and to as
sist him to ascend rope was thrown
to him. AS he was being drawn up
ward the rope was dragged through a
huge, greasy fungus. Both the rope
and the young engineers hands be-
came fabricated. He began to slip
and then lost his grip entirely. He
slid rapidly down the entire length OF
the rope. eighty feet, and then twenty
feet through the air beyond. He
would have been dashed to pieces at
the bottom of the precipice had the
fork of a tree not caught him and held
him. Here he was rescued with much
difficulty. No bones were broken.
Even this experience did not cause
Engineer Fox to lose his nerve, for he
holds the distinction of being the first
man to be carried across the river on
the first cable slung, making the trip
in basket.

Ing to the removal of restrictions on

The visit II Mr. Ford at this time
is due 20 the fact that the Indian agent
was recently petiJiOned by number
of Indian i'm this city and section. The
Indians who appeared were fairly in
tclhgcnt and showed a keen business
judgment
The ability of the Indian to have his
disabilities removed depend largely
upon his competency to transact bust.
ness and manage his own affairs. This
the law contemplated when congress
passed the act giving the Indian this
right. But the red man must meet the
r.quiroments of the act and therefore
each Indian that appeared before
Judge Ford underwent a series of
questions. II Is largely the courts oh.
servations that will enable him to
form an opinion whether the Indian
is entitled to manage his own affairs.
Sentiment cuts no figure with Mr..
Ford. His mind Is practically made
up after a few minutes conversation
with the applicant. He measures the
business capacity of those who are
seeking to have the restrictions re-
moved as carefully as pilot guides a

MIR. Ford's reports are made to the
Indian agent. who in turn refers them
to the Interior department for final
action. He could not state what per

Indians have applied to the agent. OF
