It was Sunday morning, and the bell ringer had just finished ringing the chimes that called the godly to church. Bell ringing is a science. Did you know that?" he said. ''It Is called campanology, and there are abstruse and technical terms in it. like Kent treble bob,' 'Stedman cinques,' double court bob,' 'dodges,' 'noils' and 'stin- goes.' Each of these terms defines a certain phase or kind of bell ringing. In England there is n society, the Gen. tral Council of Bell Ringers, that every campanologist desires ardently to be- long to. Maybe you think bell ringing is simpler Do you know what peal is? A peal in ringers parlance is a series of 5000 changes rung upon a chime, no change occurring more than once. ~-New York Press

A solemn Dance.

They have a singular kind of dance conducted on the greens of country vfl- lages in Russia. The dancers stand apart, a knot of young men here, a knot of mafdens there, each sex by it. self and silent as crowd of mutes. A piper breaks into a tune; a youth pulls of his cap and challenges his girl with a wave and bow If the girl is willing, she waves her handkerchief in token of assent. The youth advances, takes a corner of the handkerchief in his hand and leads his laseie round and round. No word is spoken and 10 laugh is heard. Stiff with cords and rich with braids, the girl moves heavily by her self, going round and round and never allowing her partner to touch her hand. The pipe goes droning on for hours in the same sad key and measure, and the prize of merit in this scirciing," as the dance is called, is given by specta- tors to the lassie who in all that sum- mer revelry has never spoken and nev- CT smiled

RED ARMY AUTO SUPPLY TRAIN
 IS HOME BOUND
Eleven Wagons Reach Bridgeport on Way to
 Ardmore, Pa.
VEHICLES DID GOOD WORK


 That part of the Quartermaster's De partment which did all the hauling for the "Red'' army during the recent ''war'' in and around Boston. passed through this city at noon to-day, on it's way to Ardmore. Pa. the home of the Autocar Go. which leased eleven cars to the United States army for work in the seize. The cars in charge of E. G. Davis. agent for the Autocar company in Rhode Island. proceeded through the city in military order. The chauffeurs took lunch at one of the Main street restaurants. The eleven cars left Boston yesterday morning. arriving in Hartford last evening. They left the Capitol city at to this city. New York will be reach ed this evening. where the men in charge of the machines will be put up. Tomorrow morning will find them in Jersey City. on their way to Ardmore. which will be made by evening. The fifteen young men who have charge of the cars. are employed as testers or and though dressed as soldiers in kahki uniform are not enlisted men. The cars passed through this city on the 11th on their way to New Bedford. The trip from Ardmore was made without mishap or Interruption until the party reached Providence where all were held up by the authorities for exceeding the speed limit. They were going at the rate of 21 miles per hour. This was at 8 D. m- on Friday afternoon. All were held in $100 bail. which was furnished by friend of the Quartermaster. They left Provi- morning. though they had orders to be in New Bedford by on that morning. Y Of the eleven cars eight are regular army. delivery wagons. capable of <-1 r1v,r l<- + ~%I .<.~ cars include. one hospital car. and two auxiliary wagons.carrying 2.O60 pounds each It was the duty of the cars to carry all the rations. ammunition. to the various companies. Their seat Of operations was at New Bedford. and the whole "Red' army was sup piled After the close of the war and the luggage from the field of action to the transports in Boston. Their longest run in any one time during the "siege" was from New Bedford to because the 'Red" army had ad- vanced that number of miles during the four days. The first days run was only g. the second 10 miles. the third 32 miles and the fourth 45 miles.
 The cars as they passed through this city caused a great deal of attention. Military order is kept throughout the route. Should a breakdown occur. it is considered a breakdown for. the whole company. all the eleven cars stopping. till the breakdown is repair ed. Accordingto the drivers of the cars. all the officers spoke in high terms of the services rendered by the Quartermaster's department. of which the eleven cars are section. They got over the ground rapidly. and much better than horse drawn vehicles could. Major Morgan of the Connecticut State militia who was chief commissory could not say enough in praise of the miles will have been run.
