there was little in the world of litera-

PURITAN WAS EARLY RISER
Gettinq-up Bell Rang at Five o'clock
in Morning in Boston Two
Hundred Years Ago.

The nine-o'clock bell in the evening
was an early observance by the Mas
sachusetts colony of the old English
curfew bell, says the Boston Tran
script. 1t was rung in Boston previous
to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who
later also had charge of the town clock.
A century ago three bells were rung in
BoSton-at eight in the morning. one
in the afternoon and nine in the eve
ming. Two hundred years ago the
hours were five in the morning. eleven
in the morning and nine at night. AT
that date the inhabitants were not so
prompt in rising as in the previous
century, when the bell was rung at
80 by the first bell ringer.
The midday bell was not first rung
to call people to their MONDAY meal in
Boston. In 1864. ''for the more con-
venient and expeditions dispatch of
Merchants, asSayers or any other re-
lating to strangers and our inhabitants,
lit is ordered that the bell shall be
runge att IL of We clocke every work
ing day to give motifs thereof to all per-
sons concerned and that the ringer
shall be allowed Up. per peare by
every person that commonly resort
thereunto and that they may assemble
in the Rome under the Towne house,
for the space of one hover for the ends
above expressed"
About 1880 the practice of ringing a
hoII fo,
years later requests were made for an
eleven O'Clock bell at some of the
churches, and that practice continued
in the last half of the eighteenth cen
fury. During that century bells were
rung between eight and nine in the
morning on the day of town meeting.
On days of rejoicing the bells were
rung from six TO seven in the morning
till noon, and from two to six in the
afternoon. The allowances by the town
to sections for daily ringing were, for
one ringing flo, for two EGO and for
three ESQ per annum.
The Civil var did more to abolish
the observance of Saturday night as
the beginning of Sunday, and finished
the falling away of the previous 20
years. To the war must also be credit
ed the abandonment of New England
farms, started by the more frequent in
tercourse between town and country
nv railroads

A Novel Surgical Device.

In cases of structure of the eSopha-
gus. which is the canal through which
food passes to the stomach and which
is situated behind the windpipe, 1t is
important to secure an early diagnosis.
Popular Mechanics magazine tells of a
new method, reported by New York
hospital physician, which gives clear
outline of malignant structures and is
also readily applied aid in the treat
ment of moderate cases. A small
length of sausage skin, which is the
fibrous coat of the intestine of the hog,
is thoroughly washed and treated with
formaldehyde and glycerin, then
formed into a bag by tying one end
with silk floss, the other end being
slipped over a rubber tube and tied.
The bag which is now only string is
then easily swallowed by the patient
with the aid of little water, and a
thick bismuth mixture is allowed to
flow into it, after which X-ray pictures
show the outline of the structure
clearly.

Alaire. II see that you are concerned
