Prussia, arid bangs In the tower of one of the city churches. It was cast July 17, 138C, according to historic records. It is said that a great bell founder of the place had undertaken to make the finest church bell he had ever made. When the metal was melted, the foi^nder withdrew for a few moments, leaving a boy to watch the furnace and enjoining, him not to meddle with the catch that held the molten metal, but the boy disobeyed the caution, and when he sav^ the metal flowing into the mold he called the founder. The latter rushed in and, seeing as he thought his work of weeks undone and his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy a blow that caused his immediate death. When the metal cooled and the mold was opened, the bell was found to be not only perfect, but of marvelous sweetness of tone. The founder gave himself up to the authorities, was tried and condemned to death. On the day of his execution the bell was rung to call people to at­ tend church and offer a prayer for the unhappy man's soul, and from that it obtained the name of "the poor sinner's bell." Klvglr Superatltlona. Kingship has been kin to superstition always. James I. of England was su­ perstitious about dates, and there were remarkable coincidences in his life With certain dates of the calendar. The day of the month 011 which he was born was strangely interwoven with the days of birth and marriape of his wife and some of his children and their wives. But James was an old fool who made love to young Buckingham, who lailghed in his face and robbed him of his jewels. Napoleon was superstitious about the way he put on his stockings. Frederick the Great and the great I'eter of Rus­ sia were superstitious about dozens of things. Marlborough, botb as Jack Churchill and the duke, was supersti­ tious as well as a thief and a traitor. Nearly all the Stuarts were supersti­ tious and double dealers in religion. Henry of Navarre was superstitious, but that never kept him from a thou­ sand infidelities. All the children of Catherine of Medici were seared to death by their superstitions, but they could lie, cheat and murder just as well. If Cromwell was a victim of su­ perstition, be kept it to himself.--New York Press. 1 Prof. Pearson, of Northwestern University, the man who has suddenly convinced himself that the miracles chronicled in the Bible are all a myth, will probably be retired to private life. But he hftfi accomplished all that he desired. In pulpits all over the country he has been scored by the Methodist and other orthodox preachers and they in turn have been criticized by preach­ ers of the more liberal denominations. It all leads to one end--^otoriety for Prof. Pearson, and later popularity for his book "The Carpenter Prophet." He had a long head and made a correct guess. However, Prof. Pearson, as a member of the Northwestern University faculty, had no more right to publicly strike at the very foundation of Meth­ odism than the editor of this paper has to publicly denounce the policy of his employers. Fishing For Dnclu, In India an ingenious scheme is prac­ ticed for taking ducks on a line, which Is attached at one end to a flexible stick stuck up in the mud, the other extrem­ ity having a double pointed needle of bone attached to it. Tbe latter is bait­ ed by stringing upon it some grains of corn. Presently along comes Mr. Duck, swallows the needle and finds himself a captive the moment he tries, to fly away. In olden times tbe Cape Cod fishermen depended largely for bait up­ on the seafowl they took, on their voy­ ages. To catch them they threw out fishing lines with hooks on the end, to which were attached chunks of cod liver. The latter floated because of the oil they contained, and murres, gulls and other birds swallowing them were quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped cp. Roaat Peatock. In the old days a peacock was per­ haps the most gorgeous and decorative dish on the Christmas board. This was prepared by first carefully removing the skin without losing the feathers. The fowl was then dressed, stuffed with all kinds of good things, roasted and finally sewed into its skin, still re­ taining the brilliant plumage. The beak was gilded, and this dish, fit for a king, was placed upon the table amid the blare of trumpets and the raptur­ ous applause of the revelers.

It was at Nantucket one summer that a city visitor learned a new way of displaying one's personal ndofnments during -a call upon one of the native Nantueketors. It was a nice old lady who was entertaining the strangers, and she was very anxious that they should see evirythlng to advantage and that even she herself should make as good an appearance as possible. Un­ fortunately she had not been forewarn­ ed of the visit au& was not entirely prepared for it. "If I had only known you were com­ ing," she said apologetically, "I should have had on my best front. This Is only my second best, but you can Bee the other when you go out, for I al ways keep it in the front room." Surely enough, on taking their le,ave. the visitors were piloted through th( front room, and there in the inside of the mefSUeon, when a heavy green ba­ rege veil was carefully lifted, a nicely waved tinir piece was to bQ, seen, th€ hostess' best "front." Bologna's Leaning Tower. Bologna has two great square ton­ ers, the Aslnelli, which is 31f> feet high and was erected in 1100, and its rival, the Garlsenda, which was built one year later and was originally much higher and is rendered peculiar by its de­ cided inclination to one side. It is now oply 153 feet high, the width of one side is 23 feet, thf walls at the base are 6 feet 0 inche thick, while higher up they are 4 feet 9 Inches. Its origin is somewhat obscure, but it was certainly intended to outdo the nelli, and both were for retr / * in trou­ blous times. Some say the viginal In­ tention was to make It lean, but oth­ ers contend that either the ground has settled or there was a defect in the engineering. This unique relic was so little thought of by one of Its later pos­ sessors that It vipLB sold In 1266 for 220 lire, something,/less than $44. pOlt SALE--Cottage, furnished or unfur- " liNhed.jat I'istakee Bay, situated be­ tween Bald Knob and llobt.

Spoke Too Late. | The good minister of a Scottish par­ ish had once upon a time a great wish for at) old cpuple to become teetotal­ ers, which they were in nowise eager to carry out. After much pressing, however, they consented, laying down as a condition that they should be al­ lowed to keep a bottle of "Auld Kirk" for medicinal purposes. About a fort­ night afterward John began to feel his resolution weakening, but he was de­ termined not to be the first to give way. In another week, however, he col­ lapsed entirely. "Jenny, woman," he said, "I've an awfu' pain in my held. Ye inicht gie me a wee drappie an' see gin it'll dee me ony guid." "Well, gudeman," she replied, "ye're owre late o' askin', for ever sin' that bottle cam' into the hoose I'v£ been bothered Bae wi' pains 1' my held 't Is a' dune, an' there's nae drappie left." An Invitation. A good story is told of an elder in an English church who on one occasion had to take the pulpit in the absence of the minister at the last moment. He got through the first part of the serv­ ice all right, but on getting up to give the sermon he. found his difficulty then. He started with, "Brethren [pause]--b-b-brethren 1 pause]--b-b-b- brethren, if any of you wants the con­ ceit taken out of you come up here." A BlalT Tbat Wins. An attack of hysteria simulating un­ consciousness In a woman may be stopped, says Modern Medicine, "by the surgeon taking a pair of scissors and regretfully announcing that he will have to cut all the patientjs hair off in order to make the application to her head. It is doubtful whether this bluff has even been known to fail." O Beuath* Bignatim STORIA. r The Kind You tlaui Always The Buk Illble. y- The bug Bible was printed in 1549 by the authority of Edward VI., and its curiosity lies in the rendering of the fifth verse of the Ninety-first I'sulm, which, as we know, runs, "Thou slialt not be afraid for the ter­ ror by night nor for the arrow which flieth by day." but in the above ver­ sion ran, "So thou slialt not nede to be afraid of any bugges by night." Ludicrous as this sounds, it is not etyniologically without Justification. "Bug" is derived from the Welsh word "bwg," which meant a hobgoblin or terrifying specter, a signification trace- ,at»Je in the word, commonly in use to­ day--"bugbear"--and Shakespeare once or twice uses the word in this primary sense, notably when he makes Hamlet say, "Such bugs and goblins i« my life."
