HISTORY AND USE OF BELLS
Their Ringing Has Told Of Grand
Events In Affairs of Men.

Bells were used in India and
China long before they were
known in Europe. Their history
is full of interest. In civilized
times they have not only been
associated with social and religious
affairs, but also with a great many
important historical events. In
the year 1882 at the ringing of
the Sicilian vespers 5000 French
were slain in cold blood by John
of Procida, who thought that he
would thus free Sicily from Char
les of Adjou. Again on St. Bar
tholomew's Day 1872, bells gave
the signal for the slaughter of the
Huguenots to begin, while, to
come to later wears, when the news
of Nelson's victory and death came
to England the bells of Chester
rang a joyous peal, alternating
with a single toll of the passing
bell. Bells have rung over both
victorious and defeated cities, and
induced, through the whole of
Europe, to commemorate events as
widely apart from each other as
life and death.
There are several old bells in
Scotland, Ireland and Wales; the
oldest are often quadriangular, be-
ing made of thin iron plates which
have been hammered and riveted
together At the monastery of
St. Gall in Switzerland the four
sided bell of the Irish missionary
St. Gall, who lived in the seventh
century, is still preserved; but
more ancient still is the bell of St.
Patrick in Belfast. which is orna-
mented with gold and gems and
silver fligree work. The curfew

has endowed her with an amount
of surplus energy that is more
than sufficient to make her an
active worker outside the home.
This physiological superiority is
well recognized by men of science,
and is merely the result of statisti-
cal tests in various ways.
But the outside occupation for
the married woman, the oCcupa-
ton that will bring into her life
the broadening influences Of the
world that lies above and beyond
her little hearthstone and that
will enable her to meet her hus-
band on the common ground of
the mutual friendship and esteem
that is fostered by a miugling CT
independent and impersonal inter
ELSEWHERE find this occupation?
1t should be of a renumeratiI e
character. Playing at work is a
meaningless business, after all,
and has been the cause, among
other things, Of forcing woman
into her present artificial position.
Moreover, it should adjust itself
to the functions that come with
motherhood. Woman needs work
in order to become the best kind
of mother; it is merely a habit of
thought, based on a wrong prem
Use, that leads her to the be,iet
that an outside occupation should
be abandoned when she marries.
Woman, of course, will solve
this question for herselt-and she
is solving it already. In Chicago
and l donotdoubt that much the
same thing is in evidence in other
great Citles-the whole question
of the relation of the child to the
State is absorbing woman's atten-
ton and inspiring her to the de
velopment of innumerable new
activities. Thus, it was the
women OF Chicago who brought
about the segregation of children
from adult criminals; it was the
women, practically, who created
our Juvenile Court and who sub
sequently organized the School of
Detention for young criminals.
The whole view of child life has
been modified by women since
they have thus interested them
selves actively in a phase OF it
that has heretofore been left to
the men, and the result in the
future betterment of the race is
quite beyond estimate.
"With woman once more taking
an equal part with man in the
work of the world, we may expect
to see the development of a more
humane society, an extension of
the quality of mercy that man,
by the very composition of his
nature, has not known how to use,
but which, in the hands of woman,
is bound to have a transforming
effect on the world"

bell is that about which most mas
been written and said. 1t has
been thought that it was used only
in England, but it was quite COM
mon on the Continent in the Mid
die Ages.
The ringing of bells by rope is
still very popular in England, es-
peCially in the country, where al
most every hamlet, however small
has It's church and peal of bells,
which are often remarkably we'll
rung. To the town dweller church
bells do not strike the same per-
sonal note which the countryman
hears in them, where for miles
around each village every man,
woman and child is known, the
one to the other. The plowman
in the fields hearing the tolling Of
the passing bell of the joyous we'd
ding peal knows at once for whom
they ring. What the bells mean
to him is well expressed in the
lines:

in the fields hearing the tolling of
the passing bell of the joyous we'd
ding peal knows at once for whom
they ring. What the bells mean
to him is well expressed in the
lines:
Say, how Canst thou mourn?
How canst thou rejoice?
Thou art but metal dull
And yet all our surroundings
And all our rejoicings-
Thou do5t feel them all
The first peal of bells in this
country was sent by Pope Calixtus
III to Kings College, Cambridge,
and was for 500 years the largest
peal in England. About the be-
ginning of the year 1900 sets of
eight bells were hung in a few of
the large churches. In the middle
of the Seventeenth Century a man
named White wrote the famous
work on bells, in which he intro
duced the system of numbering
them, I, ,, 3, i, etc, on slips Of
paper to different orders, accord
ing on the changes intended to be
rung. 1t is calculated that to ring
all the changes upon ~ bells, at
two strokes a second, would take
more than ~ billion years.
One of the most famous bells in
the world is the first great bell OF
Moscow, which now stands in the
middle of a square in that city and
is used as a chapel. This bell
was cast in 1855, but was in the
earth for more than 100 years, be-
ing raised in 1886 by Emperor
Nicholas. 1t is nearly 20 feet
high, and has a circumference OF
90 feet, is two feet thick and
weighs almost 200 tons. The sec
ond Moscow bell, which is the
largest in the world that is actual
ly in use, weighd I2S tons. There
are several bells extant which
weighs 10 tons and over, of which
Big Ben, the largest bell in Eng
land, weighing between IS anc Il
tons, is one. Big Ben is, untor-
tunately, cracked.
Small bells are used for such a
variety of things that it is almost
impossible to enumerate them.
There are bells for almost every
thing from electric bells down to
ferret bells, to which, by the way,
the bells used in olden times for
hawking were very similar. Per
haps the prettiest in sound of all
small bells is the cowbell, so often
heard in Switzerland and Italy.
Although frequently made of bak-
ed earth this is wonderfully sweet
and clear, and nothing is prettier
or more tairylike than that tinkle
of the bell in the distance. As
/ the cattle come slowly down from
the upland pastures after a heavy
fall OF snow, the look at first mere
dots on the mountainsides, but
even then the faint tinkle of their
bells can be heard. In one Swiss
canton there used to be herd of
cattle which either by accident or
design possessed a set of bells
which, when rung at the same
time made perfect harmony.
Although few of the old uses
to which the bell was put have
gone out, a great many new ones
have come in. The old way of
exercising an evil spirit-That is
by cursing it with bell. book and
candle-no longer survives, or at
any rate is never heard of. The
bell of the dustman is thing of
the past. even the town crier with
his "Oyez, oyez, oy ez, has all
but left us, although he still sur
wives in a few places. On the
other hand, the telephone bell, the
bicycle bell, the submarine bell
and the electric bell in all its vari-
Gus forms were things undreamed
of by our ancestors. In fact, 1t is

A Broken Reed.

We doubt not" says the Los An geIes Express, that Arizona appre- ciatively recognizes that the rejection of it's constitution because it was progressive would rouse tempest in the Union compared with which this last election would be accounted as mild as a Quaker meeting" Passing over the impossibility of "recogniz- ing" things until they happen. we doubt not that the Union would not care continental about it if our constitution were rejected.
 The Express is probably not aware how little attention and sympathy our many statehood struggles have at tracted. Never but once has any in terest been manifested in our state hood affairs. when we were resisting the unfair joint statehood proposal. That sympathy. by the way. came from many who did not want Arizona and New Mexico in the Union either as separate or joint states.

 There will be no effective pressure upon the president or congress in our behalf in case our constitution should be objectionable. We could not de- pend even upon democratic support if the constitution were as radical as the Express would have it, for the democrats of Arizona who would have the greatest influence with demo- cratic congressman favor a conserva- tive constitution and have in vain urged the democrats in the conven- tion to make it so.
 There is no section of the country which has been so little ruffled by progressiveness as the solid south. We can fancy the southern senators and representatives tearing their shirts in behalf of those innovations upon which they have steadfastly drowned.

FROGS INTRODUCED INTO
 IREl AND

As an illustration of the extent of frog eating in Canada, it is mentioned that one hotel in Toronto uses from 1000 to 150O pounds of frogs legs every season. The value of these is quoted as from Is to Is Sd a pound, and it requires six pairs of legs to weigh q pound. The bullfrog is usually shot with a rifle. As result of the great demand for frogs legs. it is stated that the edible species are becoming scarcer. And since the bullfrOg re quires from two to four years for it's transformation it is the more subject to destruction from birds and other enemies in the tadpole state. As res gards the gastronOmic qualities of g dish of frogs legs we may quote Frank Buckland: Most excellent eat ing they were, tasting more like the delicate flesh of the rabbit than any thing else can think of"
 The edible frog is not native of England, but in 1S43 it was found in the fens of Cambridgeshire. It had probably been introduced from the continent. And since that time vari- ous attempts have been made to na- turalize it in the south of England. The climate. however, does not appear to suit it, the summer heat not being sufficiently prolonged to enable it to complete it's changes before the cold of autumn. The edible frog has also been introduced into Ireland, and although this is forbidden land for reptiles the climate of the southwestern part may well prove more congenial to Rama es- culenta-LondOn Exchange.

able to comprehend the true value of that wonderful region until changed conditions admit of a permanent popu- lation developing other resources.
 The fisheries are of marvellous er- tent and are more certain dividend payers than the mines, but will never be worked to the best advantage until better transportation and better laws make Alaska a white mans country. Timber resources are also of practically unlimited extent, while coal, iron and oil are all in evidence on magnificent scale. In land so exceptionally well favored in natural resources there are opportunities for large population. As this population increases and Alaska gets down to business principles. the entire Pacific Coast will profit by the change. It is a mistaken idea that any one portion of the Pacific Coast does not feel the prosperity or diversity of some other locality When California has a poor grain crop, oregon and Washington are called on to supply the profitable. it would be much better for both oregon and California If the lat ter produced enough grain for her own
 
 ship her surplus abroad and bring new money into the country.
 So with Alaska. The disbursements of the gold miners are fully appreciat- ed all over the Pacific Coast. Every community gets some benefit from them. It will not be possible, however. to get the best results from Alaska until a permanent population working there the year round gets busy with the coal, Oil timber and other agri- cultural resources of the country. When development along these lines begins on a large scale the Alaska trade will reach proportions never dreamed possi- ble a few years ago. InGr-ntally it might be stated that one-half of the annual cost of public docks in Portland would bring to Portland the finest and fastest fleet of Alaskan steamers that could be found on the Pacific coast. and there would be no trouble in find ing dockage facilities for them.-Port- land Oregonian.

Current Comment
ALASKAN DEVELOPMENT

More than s9.S5O.OOO worth of gold has been received from Alaska at the Seattle assay office in the first ten months of the year It is believed that the receipts for the full twelve months together with that which has failed to pass through the Seattle assay of flee will bring the total for the year up to more than s15.OOO,O0O. This is a large sum to be realized from a single industry. It is nearly as much as the proceeds of the average oregon wheat crop. By rapid circulation in Vancou- yer, Seattle and other cities and towns where the owners of the gold spend their winters, it becomes very impor-

Finances and Markets

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-Distrust of the artificial character with the pres ent market practically killed Specu lative interest and threw the deal ings almost into stagnation. Tenta- tive selling operations at the outset seemed designed mainly to test the market Rapid declines which re- suited were in contrast with the ease with which prices have advanced in previous sessions in response to con centrated buying orders from few sources The test was regarded as establishing that no genuine active participation was going on in the dealings. No aggressive attempt was made to renew the advance and the last prices were only a little above the lowest.
 A discussion of earnings in relation to dividend requirements of the spring wheat grangers and of New York Central was a substantial influence and was reflected in the special weakness of these stocks.
 The strong weekly returns of the Bank of England showed the extent of the improving money market po- sition. There were heavy payments as well to the Imperial Bank of Ger many and the Bank of France.
 Sales are being made in the New York market of moderate issues of new bonds, but at terms which i'm ply continued lightness of the in vestment demand and the necessity for extra attractions as an induce ment. Success was reported for an offering of Kansas City terminal four per cents at 97, and s15,000,000 Chi cago and Northwestern general mort gage bonds were sold to- bankers to bear four per cent, previous issues under this mortgage having been made at BE per cent.
