Mrs. Gladstone's Bodice.
From an Exchange.


While residing at Hawarden Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone had accepted an invitation
to stay from Saturday 10 Monday at a
vicarage some miles distant. Aware that
the accommodation at the vicarage was
somewhat limited, Mrs. Gladstone, with
chara cteristc thoughtfulness, decided to
dispense with the services of her maid, in
structing that young person" TO carefully
pack her things and put everything ready
to hand. When Mrs. Gladstone. while dress
ing for dinner IN the evening. had put on
the skirt of her gown the bodice was no.
where 10 be found. After an exhaustive
search Mrs. Gladstone came to the con-
clusion that il had been left behind. How
ever, with ready resource, she dra ped her
shoulders with black crepe-de-chine
shawl, eXcusing its presence on descending
by explaining that the evenings were be-
coming remarkably chilly" When how
ever, she was being escorted into the dining
room by her host litter behind her be-
came so distinct that she asked the cause
and no one Joined more heartily in the gem
eral merriment than she on learning that
the truant bodice was carefully secured 10
her skirt by pin, and was trailing behind
her.

King Edwards Influence.


] have spoken of the various influences
which created the immense increase in the
gayety and the crowds of the London sea-
son. ! should not omit, perhaps. the great
est impulse of all-namely, the accession of
the present sovereign. The incurable grief
of widow for loved husband for years
produced in London a sense of honorable
but overwhelming isolation on the part of
royalty; and such an impression as that in
the highest quarter percola tes of course. all
through society. Now the holder of the
throne is still in all the robustness Of
healthy middle age, and is the possessor
both of the prestige and the fortune neces-
say to the head Of the state and the chief
leader Of society. l remember, immediate
ly after the present king came to the
throne hearing a foreign attache who had
lived in London say that he was sure the
new reign would reveal to the world the
most sumptuous court in Europe in the
court of the English king. His anticipations
have been to a large extent realized. In
stead of Buckingham Palace being opened
now and then and at distant intervals and
almost under protest, 1t is the central scene
of the gayety and hospitality of the Lon
don season. This has given new life to that
love OF pleasure which has always been
characteristic of the English people.

How Church Bells Are Made.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
mo silver is used in church bells" said
the bell-founder. People claim there is,
but I have assayed many an old bell that
came here to be broken up, and never an
ounce of silver did find in one of them.
For the best bells we use old cannon.
They give US the purest amalgam we can
get. The tenor bell l am making now is
composed OF twelve tons Of old cannon
from Spain.
These two molds the core and the cope,
what give the bells its sweetness. 1t
is in their cut that the secret of bell-found-
ing lies. The core is the inner mold; 1t has
the exact shape of the bells inside The
cope, outer mold has the exact shape
of the bells outside.
I'VE fit the cope over the core, and into
the space between the molten metal is
run. When the metal has hardened and
cooled the bell is finished, save for its
clapper.
ITO tune bells It is necessary TO chip
little pieces out of them. Our bell tuner Is
a good musician. He has composed num-

Bribing and Tipping in Germany.

At the recent convention in Hamburg OF
the Coal Dealers Association of Germany
a number of delegates spoke on the practice
of tipping and bribing. They complained
that stokers and others having to do with
coal used in manufacturing works and large
establishments of any kind must be given
bribe money, or have their influence used
against the coal dealers to prevent the Sc
curing of new orders. The delegates urged
the necessity of taking measures to abolish
the nefarious practice. United States Con-

undoubtedly led to the bribery method

Sultan's Double.

From London Tit-Bits.
The Sultan of Turkey Is a sufferer from
chronic insomnia, brought about by long
continued fear of assassination. He sleeps
not more than two or three hours out Of
the twentyfour and then only when some
one in an adjacent room is reading or mu-
stefan is performing for him. The light Is
always burning in his bed chamber. and
his foster brother, Ismet Bey. the grand
master of the imperial wardrobe. sleeps with
him. Ismet Bey is the most trusted MEM
Der of the sultan's suite. and as he closely
resembles his master he not infrequently
impersonates him on those occasions on
which the sultan appears in public cere-
monies and there is great risk of assassina-
ton involved.

According to official statistics, 1925 per-
sons were killed in India by tigers and / 900
by wolves during the last five years. Only
two persons were killed by lions during
that period, showing that the king of beasts
is disappearing from that country. Lions
are now to be found almost exclusively in
the large forests, and the number is said
not to exceed 200. The rajahs of such ter
ritory have reserved the hunting of lions to
themselves as a princely sport, and natives
as well as Europeans are expressly pro-
hibited from molesting them -
