DARING BELL RINGERS.
Franks Of the Athletic Young Span
;ards of SAvilla

Franks Of the Athletic Young Span
iards Of Seville.
There is n curious custom among the
young Spaniards of the city of Seville.
On certain fete days, related II tourist,
the young men of the place have per-
mission to ring the bells in the clock
towers of the cathedral. They have an
ingenious and original way of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb up on to
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging to and fro. We
may imagine what an uproar is pro-
duced when all the bells of n cathedral
are being treated in this manner. Any
man who is able may exercise his skill,
and the duration Of the ringing de-
ponds upon the caprice or the strength
and patience of the ringers.
The spectacle is very strange Of the
great bells swinging, with one, two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
in any attitude which seems to them
best adapted to pushing out the most
noise. In the Giralda, at Seville, the
first time witnessed this, the clamor
vas frightful. When looked up l
thought ut first some unfortunate was
entanged III the bell rope, but soon
found it was matter of sport. An
other ringer appeared suspended in the
dir, holding the bell by the ears or the
rim or the wooden framework and fol-
lowing 1t in all Its movements, some.
times feet, sometimes head, downward.
Such are the daring bell ringers of Sc

bling for the front door he found hat
and, having lost his own, placed 1T

about his shoulders and went quickly
out. A moment later he slipped the
catch in the wall door and stepped into
the boulevard.
The stars We're shining among the
dying clouds overhead and he drew
3cep bieaths of the freshened air into
his lungs as he walked back to the
Monte Rosa. Occasionally he laughed
quietly TO himself, for he still grasped
lightly in his hand, safe under his coat,
she envelope which Chauvenet had car
riea so very carefully concealed, and
several tises Armitage muttered to
himself:
"a few murders, more or less!'
At the hotel he changed his clothes,
threw the things from his dressing
table into bag and announced his de-
parture for Paris by the midnight ex-
press.
AS he drove to the railway station he
felt for his cigarette case and dlscov-

The Garde,, Of Eden.

The passage in Genesis in which the
location of the garden of Eden seems
to be Indicated has long been Il bone of
contention among tleologians and BIZ
BILE students generally. The discussion
of the subject has been us ingenious as
it has been fruitless. The garden has
been located all over Asia. The Bibli-
cal account would seem to place Eden
in the old Mesopotamia. the region OF
the great rivers the Euphrates and
Tigris.-New York American.

The Evil Eve

The "evil eye" was one Of the many
supersttions that at one time beset
humanity in the time of its ignorance.
1t was believed throughout the middle
ages that certain persons had the pow

subjecting YOU to the fascination which
unopposed, blighted and destroyed you.
Amulets OF various forms were used
against this much dreaded power as
we'll as certain practices, such as laugh
ing, splitting and turning somersault.

"ls it possible? Is it possible?" And
his voice was hoarse, and his hand
trembled as he picked up the cigarette
case.
"AIy dear Jules, you act as though
you had seen ghost. Who the devil
is Armitage?"
Chauvenet glanced about the room
cautiously, then bent forward and
whispered very low close to Durand's
car:
Suppose he We're the son of the
crazy Karl! Suppose he We're Fred

Bah! 1t is impossible! What il

poina Without the Dot.

The small letter 81" was formerly
written without the dot. The dot was
introduced in the fourteenth century
to Distinguish II" from 'e" in hasty
and indistinct writing. The letter 81"
was originally used where the letter
-" is now employed. The distinction
between 81" and 81" was introduced by
the Dutch printers at comparatively
recent date, and the "j" was dotted
because the 81" from which it was de-
rived, was written with dot.
