BELGIAN BELLS ARE SAFE
Huns Lacked Time to Destroy the
World-Famous CariIlons of
Mechiin and Bruges,

Lovers of bell music will be glad
to hear that the famous carillons at
Mechlin and Bruges were not destroyed
by the Germans, says the Living
Age They were actually marked for
destruction-to supply the boche with
materials for making munitions-but
the German army had become salt
ed slug" to use soldiers picturesque
similitude, before the act of vandalism
could be carried on.
Joseph Denyn has actually been
playing on his beloved Hemony bells,
and one can imagine the delight with
which the people of Mechin once more
hear the greatest of carilloneurs dis
play his enraptured virtuosity in
clear sky. You get wonderful and
unwonted view from st. Rombolds
stupendous tower in these days of a
still imperfect peace, for the tall chin
neys of the Belgian factories are now
smokeless and the air Is so clear that
you can surmise, even if your eye can
not reach, the edged glimmer of the
sea on the far blue horizon.
But Belgium has no love for idleness,
and everybody will be glad when the
dark, fantastical smoke blossoms are
seen once more on their straight stalks
to sway and fluctuate to the far
flung music of the historic bells cast
in a bygone century by the Stradiva-
RUS of bell founders.

BISHOP ALONE SAW GHOST
Hoax cleVerly Carried Out by Noted
Ecelesiastic Is Recalled by
British Paper.

The great Bishop Wherefore was
staying at a great country house. AS
he took his hostess down to dinner he
glanced behind him and saw five cou-
pies following and last Of all an &C.

was strange to him.
He remarked to his hostess, 81 see
you are not superstitious about sitting
down thirteen to a table"
His hostess went deadly white, and
said, For heavens sake say nothing "
Sitting down, he noticed that only
twelve seats had been placed, and a
moment after saw the supposed monk
standing behind the hosts chair. 1t
was not long before he realized that
no one but he saw the figure. After
dinner the host explained that the
monk was an apparition which none
but the head of the family, in each
generation, had ever seen, and that its
appearance always foretold disaster.
The next day the same figure APP
peared to the bishop in the garden and
explained that in life he had been con-
fessor to pre-RefTmation head OF
the family and had been reading a
written confession from penitent.
Being suddenly caFled away he had
slipped the confession into the volume
OF the Fathers he was reading, lie
had died suddenly and could not rest
for fear it should be found and the
secrets of the confessional revealed.
He eXhorted the bishop TO find the
confession and burn it unread.
The bishop went to his host and
said, 81 do not know if you have a

Grlevinu Cows.

An Essex correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail writes: This morning
] witnessed a strange sight in which a
herd Of cows, an old bull and few
calves took part in meadow near my
house
A COW that had recently calved died
in the night and yesterday morning
lay out stiff on the frosted grass be-
meath n tree. During the day cows
roamed near the place and stopped TO
smell and lick the side and face of
the dead animal. Not till this morn
ing did the knacker's cart arrive to
carry the body away.
When the vehicle was drawn to the
spot the whole herd came slowly up
and stood round watching intently,
with heads down, and an indescrib-
able expression, which seemed half
questioning and half sympathetic, In
their eyes. Seven of them and the
ole bull came up and licked the dead
cows face in one instance as it was
being hoisted into the cart. When II
was taken away they stood watching
It to the far side of the meadow and
through the gate till they could see 1t
no longer. Then they smelled all over
the spot where 1t had lain.
