PURITAN WAS EARLY RISER
Gettine-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. It was rung in Boston previous to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who later also had charge of the town clock. 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 a II of ye clocke every work ing day to give notis thereof to all per sollS COHceFued ana IndD tlle ringer shall be allowed 12p. 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 1730 the practice of ringing a bell at one was begun, though for some 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 tury. 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 sextons for daily ringing were, for one ringing FLO, for two f20 and for three f30 per annum.
 The Civil war 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 abaDdonment of New England farms, started by the more frequent in- tercourse between town and country by railroads.

A Novel Surgical Device.

In cases of stricture of the esopha- gus, which is the canal through which food passes to the stomach and which is situated behind the windpipe, it is important to secure an early diagnosis. Popular Mechanics magazine tells of a new method, reported by q New York hospital physician, which gives clear outline of malignant strictures and is also d 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 glyeerin then formed into 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 q little water, and thick bsmuth mixture is allowed to flow into it, after which X-ray pictures show the outline of the strfcture clearly.

or eight years before he offered any for exhibition or for sale and his first exhibit of these novel fowls was strik- ing. White Houdans are equally as good in shape, size and laying quail ties as the original mottled variety which has won such fame as heavy producer of large white eggs and as good table fowl at the same time. The greatest drawback to the dark variety as table fowl has been its dark pin feathers. This, however, is entirely eliminated in the new variety and this feature alone is sufficient to commend the variety to the producers of table fowls for certain markets.
