1T is A FIDDLE CHURCH vANE.
Reminder of the Builders Early Days
Of Poverty.

One of the most curious vanes to
be seen on any church in Great Brit
ain is at Great Gonerby, parish ad-
joining Grantham.
1t is in the form of fiddle and
bow and is unusually large Its his.
tory is curious. Many years ago a
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out a modest livelihood by per
forming on an old violin which was
almost a part Of his life At last he
decided to emigrate and out in the
far west prospered and became rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to
build a church and attached to the
gift the curious condition that metal
replica of his old fiddle and bow should
be on the summit of the edifice The
gift was accepted and the yans may
still be seen on the church,

GloEE TRoTTING BY LABEL
How to Travel Round the World for
Fifty Cents.

If you wish to travel round the
world on so cents there is a London
pcrtmanteau maker who can enable
you to do it. For the small sum men
toned you can buy ticket which en-
titles you to claim to have Travelled
from Hongkong to Hobart, New Zea-
land, or elsewhere. and you can visit,
en- route, Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo,
or any other mortal place. Many
Americans going to England take ad-
vantage of this marvellous system
All you need in order to accomplish
this marvellous journey is a bunch of
labels, with the name of the various
cities to which you wish people to
think you have been. Paste these con
spicuously on your trunk, your grip
bag, your camera, hat box and on the
blanket of your bull pup if you sport
one-and presto-you emerge before
the eyes of the public as full-fedged
globe trotter
The selling of travelled labels" to
untraveled travellers is a thriving busi-
ness in London, Paris and other of the
big European centers You can buy a
whole set of labels covering a certain
route. If you wish your friends to
think you have just come from the Ri
viera you can get plenty of labels for
Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes and other
resorts. If you prefer a trip down the
Rhine you can be as easily and as
promptly accommodated
Said label vendor in the Strand:
Il let out pOrtmanteauX fully labeled
for any trip you like to take. Some
people like 10 stick on their own as
sortment of labels continued my in
formant, while others prefer trunks,
gripbags and boxes plastered all over.
The more trunk or grip is worn
and belabeled, the better some folks
seem to like it, and much of our trav-
eled stock that seems as if it could
not stand another public appearance is
in great demand.
I'VE have one fully labeled globe
trotting' bag that brings in $3.50 for
two weeks, but the usual charge is
from 60 to rs cents week. When our
customers take these bags away they
are always pretending to lose them
and doing other things that attract at
tention toward them. In one way the
bags pay for themselves. That is, the
landladies and boarding house keepers
at the summer resorts are always i'm
pressed by them, and they seem to
give their possessors sort of pres
tige."

PA?AL LORE IN COIN
SERIES THAT EXTENDS OVER A
THOUSAND YEARS.
Adrian |. the First Head of Church
to Circulate Currency-Leo XIII.
Was the Last-Rare Types
Are Illustrated.

Not the least interesting of the
pope's jubilee gifts was the unique
gold coin of Pope Innocent TX, which,
recently eXhumed at ACqui, Italy, was
contended for by coin collectors, King
Victor Emmanuel being an unsuccess-
full competitor
This coin, the only one in existence
of the reign of Innocent TX, was need
ed to make the Vatican collection Of
papal coins complete.
The papal coins exhibit the portraits
of many of the popes and their coats
of arms, and furnish metallic history
of the coinage of the church from the
first issues in the latter part of the
eighth century down to 1870, when the
papal states were annexed TO Italy
and the papal mint ceased operations
The papal series of coins is one Of
the very longest, covering l,l36 years
The first pope to issue coins was Ad
rian |. The coins OF Europe were then
largely in imitation of those of the
Byzantine empire, whose gold byzants
were generally used throughout the
continent, and the coin of Pope Ad-
rian was fair example of the coinage
of the times. 1t showed a full face
portrait, presumably Of st. Peter, on
the diverse. surrounded by the insCrip-
ton "Hadrianus P. P" and the cross
on the reverse, very much after the
style of the Byzantine pieces.
Many of the early issues OF the
popes show the name of the reigning
pope and a representation of either
st. Peter or st. Paul Perhaps no Sc
ries of coins shows a greater variety
of design or more skillful execution.
The church. always patron of the
arts, employed the foremost artists
of the time, and some of the coins
are from the hands of such men as
Cellini and Francia
4 gold scudo of julius H., the de
sign of which is credited to Francia,
shows finely engraved portrait of the
pope. with the inscription: Julius
Pontifex Maximus" coin of Alex
ander VII, attributed to Paolo shows
on the reverse the crossed keys and
crown, perhaps one of the first of the
papal coins to bear this device.
The coins Of the popes were struck
in many places, including Rome, Bo-
logna, Avignon, Perugia, Terni, San
Severino and Gaeta. One of the inter
esting pieces of the Roman mint was
a silver ducat of Clement VII This
piece, irregular in shape, was struck
in 1927, when Rome was in state OF
siege. On the diverse are shown the
arms and title of Pope Clement, with
the word "Ducato" inclosed by a
wreath on the reverse. To this same
pope is credited a jubilee five sequin
piece in gold, struck in 1925. 1t is not
unlikely. that the latter piece was en-
graved by Cellini

INFLUENCE OF DIET ON SLEEP.
Effect of Certain Foods Largely Inas-
mary, Says Physician.

Diet has little influence on sheep,
except in so far as it may produce
disturbances Of digestion and
through these of the general bal
aIice of health. The hypnotic effects
of certain foods, such as onions,
lettuce, milk, etc. are chiefly i'm
aginary. Even the time of the last
meal Of the day is of relatively lit
tie Importance. except that it is
well to let this be at least two or
three hours before retiring. But
even this rule has many exceptions,
as many healthy laboring men ha-
bitually fall asleep over their pipes
directly after supper, and children,
after poking the spoon into their
little eyes, nod of over the tea
table, with the bread and butter still
elutched in their chubby fists.
The processes of digestion prob
ably go on more slowly during sleep,
but they are perfectly carried out, as
is illustrated by the almost invarfable
habit among animals of going to
sleep directly after meal.
Indeed, moderate amount of food
in the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber Many night work
ers. for instance, sleep much better by
taking light or even full supper Just
before retiring-Dr Woods Hutchin-
SON, in the American Magazine.

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner authority for Assertion
That WIZ Animals Converse.

The onatter of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof r. L. Garner, who has spent
the greater part Of several years In
the forests OF Africa studying the Ian
guages of monkeys and other animals,
says silence is not an absolute ele-
ment in the safety of wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes OF human beings. This he at
tributes to lack of social fntimacies
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound Of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
of smell in pursuing their game, every
species having its peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
seizing their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea-
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof Gamers three years residence
In the jungle he found that the chin
panzee frequently breaks the silence
of the forest by answering the cries
of the various other animals. The
gorilla is less loquacious.' but there
are times when he ignores all danger
of betrayal and gives vent to deiuge
Of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting OF
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing of the hippopotamus
by day or night The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt
for them, the latter also granting.

Father Leading Posse.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-Word
has been received that William Doug
las, white, aged % years, who is
charged with having assaulted Helen
Duncan, aged 13 years, at the Dun
can summer home, north of Indian
apolis, has been surrounded in the
woods on Whitet river near here and
a a'squad of detectives has gone to the
scene in automobiles. The man is
hemmed in by a posse of farmers
headed by the father of the girl. 1t
is feared violence may be dealt to
Douglas if the officers are not on
hand when the capture is made.
The assault on the Duncan child
was bold, as the assailant saw the
child's mother not a hundred yards
away when he grabbed the child and
dragged her into the woods.

TRIED TO ABANDON BABY.
Heartless Negro Woman Arrested by
Rock Hill Police.

Rock Hill, July 31.-A heartless
and brutal attempt was made here
yesterday by a negro woman named
McFadden to abandon her month old
infant. The girl, whose mother is a
servant for Mr.. Reid of this city,
came from Charlotte on an early
train carrying a month old baby in
her arms. Walking down the rail-
road to Whites pasture in the neigh
borhood of the ice company's plant
she placed the baby in clump of
grass and took her departure. Some
one saw the child and reported it to
the police. They at once thought of
the girl who got off the train with
the baby and proceeded to look her
up. 1t was a shreWd guess on the
part of the officers for the woman
had no child with her when found.
She denied knowing anything about
this or any other any child, but when
they told her she would be locked
up unless she found her child in a
hurry she gave in and proceeded to
where she had deserted her baby.
The baby was apparently none the
worse for the experience. When the
inhuman mother was found by the
officers she was singing as though as
happy as lark and with conscience
"void of offense." She is now on the
inside looking out.

A Quiet Marriage.

Miss Annie Wright, only daughter
of Mrs. Lizzie Wright, was married at
the residence Of her mother in this
city last Sunday afternoon to Mr.. j..
Courtney Ray. The marriage was
very quiet one, only the immediate
family of the couple being present.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
T. G.. Herbert, pastor of trinity Metho-
odist church. The bride was born
and reared in Bamberg, and is ex-
ceedingly popular with old and
young. Her gracious manners and
fine character have endeared her to
very large circle of friends, who
wish for her every Joy and happiness.
The groom is prosperous young
farmer of the Lees section. He is a
fine young man, and is well-known
and has a number of friends in
Bamberg. as he formerly attended
the Carlisle Fitting School. In COM
mon with their many friends, The
Herald extends congratulations.

Denies the Charge.

Americus, Ca, July 28.-Judge c,
H. Crisp, son of the former speaker
of the House of Representatives, has
received letter from William ].
Bryan with reference to the charge
that Bryan had failed to support
Crisp's father in the contest for
speaker of the House. Bryan says
that while he voted for Springer in
caucuses as he lived in Springer's
district and had promised to support
him, he had voted for Crisp when
the election was held in the House.
Says Bryan: Nothing but most
malignant enmity can account for the
circulation of the charge that am
prejudiced against Southern Demo
Gratis. Every Southern man with
whom served I'M, Congress is able
to contradict this. I have insisted
years ago that it does not matter
where candidate comes from, but
what he stands for should determine
his selection.

Slow Train Story.

Here's the latest slow train story"
said a traveller. "a passenger on the
Blue Ridge railroad, which is not
noted for it's humiliation of either
space or time, contended vigorously
when he reached his destination
against looseness of laws which
would permit beggars to bother the
passengers. For miles and miles to-
day." he continued, ''the passengers
were almost driven frantic with an
noyance by wooden-legged beggar,
who kept walking beside and around
the train, asking the passengers for
aims. 1t ought to be forbidden by
law"
