BELLS OF OLD HOLLAND.
Ancient Chimes That Have Delighted
the Dutch for Centuries.

From the earliest times the people
of the Netherlands have so greatly
loved their bells and chimes that the
architecture OF their belfries and
steeplcs shows marked traces OF it
Most of these are OF opcn-work de
sign, so that the bells might be heard
in the widest circumference, writes
The Hagne correspondent OF the Chi
cago Daily News. Beautiful examples
or this style can he seen in the cathe-
dral towers of Utrecht and Delft. Sev'
cral OF the smaller towns possess
even finer specimens. either in their
Church spires or IN the belfrles OF
watch towers. Like the wcll-knowr
belfry OF Monnikendam, these towers
generally stood in the principal
squares The bells were tolcd in case
of danger. to alarm the burghcrs. or
to call them together for important

In the market place OF Bruges
Stands the bclfry. old and brown,
Thrice destroyed and thrice rebuilded
Still II watches DER the town.
In Holland there is scarcely Il place
of Importance that does not have one
or more towers with chimes. The
tunes OF these arc changed once OF
twice a year, generally on New Years
day. This is so at The Hague and
Utrecht. Some places. however, are
not content with this and have the
tunes changed oftencr 1t is on rec
ord that in one town, which had fine
carlton cast by the famous IIcmony
in 1877, it was decreed that the tunes
should be changed every fortnight ol
at least once n month. so fond were
the Dirghers of their bells.
In time when clocks were by nc
means general the Church bells were
the timckcepers for the burghers. The
heavier hell struck the hours and the
lighter bell the half hours. If these
were chimes they played tune nj
noon and another at midnight, while
before the stroke of the hour or divi'
sion OF the hour part of the tune
would he played.
The Inscriptions on the bells are
generally in rhyme and made to read
as if the bell itself Is telling its name
and the history of its making. llol

cient bells, notably in the province oi

by Rodolphus de Montigny Most
bells now in existence were. however
cast in the fifteenth, sixteenth or sew

The reformation brought change
in the naming of bells. The Catholic
saints were forsaken. and only Bibii
cal or worldly names were allowed
while the inscription also breaihcd
other views, as can be seen by com
pairing the bells cast in the seven

date. Those on the older bells have
n purely religious Significance, while
the later ones refer 10 worldly sub
