THE ORIGIN AND USE OF BEISA TRIP TO THE ATTIC WITH GRANDMA

# HE names of a number Of members
of the animal kingdom are used TO
help tell the story of John and
Mary's trip to the attic. See II you
can tell what ones they are.
John and Mary were visiting the old
IA mfly homestead in the country one
summer. when there came along one
of those really rainy days that make 1t
impossible for even the most active OF
bows and girls to stay out of doris
The children were looking forward
ploou1ily to a long day in the house
when grandma suggested:
wouldn't this be good time for ex-
ploring the attic?'
"Oh, grandma, yesH cried the chill
dren. and so all three mounted the
stairs to the low room under the caves
in which were stored the treasures of
many wears. Grandma lighted some
ta1I wax tapers that stood on an old
maboganv table and the children
looked about them, curious and de-
lighted.
There were huge chests and small
cowhide trunks and in one corner was
a beautiful old secretary with brass
handles and wonderfully carved feet.
Grandma pulled out one of the draw
ers and took from it a bundle wrapped
in old linen which contained faded
uniform in blue and gold.
This" he said, was the uniform of
Adfutant Myers one of your ancestors.
He was killed upon the field of battle"
The children touched the worn old
uniform tenderly. Then Mary turned
to shining instrument that hung on
the wall.
THAT" said grandma. in response to
her question, belonged to Johnny
Norcross. who was also a soldier boy
and for whom John was named. He
was trumpeter, in our war with
Great Britain.
A beautiful old portrait OF a sweet
faced woman hung over the old secre-
tary. and Mary asked who that was.
Isn't she SWEET" she demanded.
That, my dear explained grandma,
was your great great-grandaunt Ira
ditfon hath it that she was a shrew."
Whats a shrew?" demanded Mary
1T isn't a pretty word" said grand
ma, and perhaps tradition maligns the
poor woman. Anyway, she never mar
ried: so she didn't hand down her fall
ings."
From one of the little old trunks in
the corner grandma then took out
some curious garments and masks
oh" she said, laughing merrily,
those were jolly days!"

The Romans used bells which they

The sound of bell Is a compound

monies of a bell and Of a vibrating

minor third is not infrequently one of
the loudest tones next to the funda-

struck the first note which attracts
the attention Of the ear is known as
the strike note. tap note or funda-

note Of the bell. The low sound
heard after the strike note has lost its
intensity is called the hum note. and
the octave above the strike note the
nominal. There are also present a
minor third and a perfect fifth in the
first octave, and q major third and a
perfect fifth in the second octave. Very
few bells. however. agree with these
conditions. Generally the hum note is
a sixth or seventh. and in rare cases
a ninth below the strike note The
nominal is somewhere about an octave
or ninth above the strike note and
tie other notes diverge accordingly
Bells that are swung are more likely
to conform to the conditions than
those that are struck.
