MexIeo's Army of Bell Ringers.

1t takes a great army of men t keep
the church bells going in Mexico. 1t is
estimated that in Mexico City alone
there are more than 1000 bell ringers
regularly employed. On days of re-
ligious celebrations the number is aug
mented, as the ringing Of the bells
must be kept up almost constantly
through the day and night ON such oc-
casions. The most striking feature OF
Mexican life to the usual visitor to
Mexico is the noise of church bells.
Every little hamlet and many Of the
ranches in the country have one or
more Catholic churches, and each ed
i1ce is equipped with one or more bell
towers. The great cathedral which
stands nea the national palace in
Mexico City has sixteen of these tow
ers.-London Globe.

The editor made business call at the
new establishment of the May Lumber
Company, in Flint, the other day, and
was surprised and pleased to find that
it was one of the largest and finest
plants of the kind he had ever seen.
The big warehouse is something i'm
mense and so situated that carloads of
lumber are run directly into it, where
they are unloaded and by means of
steel rollways their contents, of various
grades, are conveniently shunted to
their appointed places. An immense
stock is carried both in the warehouse
and adjacent yards and because of the
very convenient location as well as
Mr.. Mays thorough experience as a
lumber dealer the prospect for the bust
ness seems very promising.
