After having for nearly four de-
cades sounded to worship the congre-
cation of the Nazarene church of
Chanute, Kas., the old bell in the
tower now hangs as mute as the IA
nous Liberty Bell in the statehousa
at Philadelphia. No crack or other
physical disability is the cause of its
silence On the contrary, its peal IL
as loud and as clarion now as when
it was first hung in the tower. But
the pastor, Rev w H. Fluke, has
decided that the ringing of a bell
before services is q custom of the
past and that it is no longer appro-
pirate in these days when every
household has a timepiece
The church building formerly be-
longer to Presbyterians. 1t was com
pleted in the fall of 1875. When they
built a larger house Of worship Mr..
Fluke bought their old building. They
left the bell behind them, and he
continued to use it until last week,

will be mute.-Baltimor American.

BACK IN THE AGE OF PLENTY
Cost of Living Had Not Assumed Dir
mansions of Il Problem in the
Sixteenth Century.

A countryman living just beyond
the outskirts of London drove to the
metropolis one day to order a few
provisions, etc.

of shoes he paid just seven cents.
Next he drove to a butcher stall in
Smithield. There he bought a sheep,
a dozen chickens and ten pounds of
beef. For the sheep he paid ten cents.
For the chickens he paid ~ cents
apiece, or IS cents for the dozen. The
ten pounds of beef cost him nickel

But his ensuing trip to the diapers

that stout homespun cloth was selling
