Church bells are of ancient origin.
The ancients had bells for both sacred
and profane purposes. Strabo says
that market time Was announced by
their sound and Pliny that the tomb
of an ancient king of Tuscany' was
hung round with bells. The hour of
bathing was made known in ancient
Rome by the sound of a bell. The
night watchman carried one, and It
served to call up the servants In great
houses. Sheep bad them tied about
their necks to frighten away wolves,
or, rather, by way of amulet.
Puullnus, bishop of Nola, Is general
ly considered the first person who In
troduced bells Into ecclesiastical serv
ice about tbe year 400. Historians say
that In.610 tbe bisbop of Orleans, being
at Seno, then in a state of siege, fright*
ened away the besieging army by ring
ing St. Stephen’s church bells, which Is
n clear proof that they were not at that
time generally known In France. Thd
first large bells are mentioned by
Bede in tbe year 080. Before that pe
riod tbe early Brltlsb Christians made
use of wooden raftles to call tbe con
gregation of the faithful together.
Hand bells probably first appeared at
religious processions and were after
ward used by tbe seculars. The small
bells were not always held iu the
hand. They were sometimes suspend
ed upon a stake and struck with ham
mers.
The arrival of kings and grent per
sonages was anciently greeted by ring
ing tbe church bells. Ingulohus, abbot
of Croyland, who died about 1109,
speaks of them as being well known In
his time and says that “the first abbot
of Croyland gave six bells to that mon
astery—that Is to say, two great ones,
which he named Bartholomew and Bel-
adlne; two of a medium size, culled
TUrkotulIum and Bettrine; two small
ones, denominated Pega aud Bega.i He
also caused tbe great bell to be made
called Gudla, which was tuned to tbe
other bejl and produced an admirable
harmony not to be equaled In Eng
land.”
The bells used In tbe monasteries
were sometimes rung with ropes hav
ing brass or silver rings at the ends
for tlio band. They were anciently
rung by the priests themselves, after
ward by the servants and sometimes
by those Incapable of other duties, as
persons who were blind.
The doctrine of tbe Church of Borne
concernlng'bells Is that they have mer
it and pray God for the' living and the
dead; second, that they produce devo
tion in, the hearts of the faithful. The
dislike of evil spirits to bells Is well
expressed by Wynken de Worde In the
“Golden'Legend.” The passing bell was
anciently rung for two good purposes,
one to bespeak the prayers of all good
Christian people for a soul just depart
ing and tbe ‘other to drive away tbe
evil spirits who stood at the foot of tbe
bed or about tbe house. Such .was the
general opinion respecting the efficacy
of bells before tbe reformation, but
since that period "It has been the usual
course In tbe Cburcb of England that
when any sick person lay dying a
bell should toll to give notice to the
neighbors that they might pray for tbe
dying party, which was commonly
culled a passing bell, because tbe sick
person was passing hence to another
.world, and when his breach was ex
pired the bell rung out that the neigh
bors might cease their prayers, for that
the party was dead.” It is now only
tolled after death.
The saint’s bell was not so called
from tbe name of the saint that was
inscribed on It or of the church to
which it belonged, but because It was
always rung out when the priest came
to that part of the service, “Sanctus,
Sanctus, Sanctus, Domlne Deus Sab-
baoth,” purposely that those persons
.who could not come to church might
know In what a solemn office the con
gregation were at that Instant engag
ed and so, even In their absence, be
once, at least, moved to lift up their
hearts to him who made them. Bells
at one time were thought nn effectual
charm against lightning. The frequent
firing of abbey churches by lightning
confuted the proud motto commonly
written on their bells In tbe steeples,
wherein each entitled Itself to a six
fold efficacy—viz:
Men’s death I tell by doleful knell;
Lightning and thunder I break asunder;
On Sabbath all to church I call;
The sleepy head I ralsa from bed;
The winds so fierce I dost disperse;
Men’s cruel rage I do assuage.
It has anciently been reported, ob
served Lord Bacon, and Is still re
ceived that extreme applause and
shouting of people assembled In multi
tudes have so rarefied and broken the
air that birds dying over have fallen
down, the" air not being able to sup
port them, and It Is believed by some
that grent ringing of bells in popu
lous cities lins ebnscd nwny thunder
and also dissipated pestilent air.—New
York Herald.

A FRIGHTENED ACTRESS.
When Mnlibraii linn For Her Lit*
From Her Father.
Mnllbrnu was nn exceptional woman
as well as a great singer, unjt she had
air Interesting and spontaneous tem
perament. Tho daughter of Garcia,
she hud a harsh aud difficult master In
her own father.
When she was sixteen lie one day
came to her room and without any
kind of preparation said to her, “You
will mako your flrst appearance with
me on Snturday In ‘Otello.’ ”
It gnvo her exactly six days for prep
aration. Tho child, terrified nearly Into
specchlCHsness, stammered that she
could not possibly do it—what be asked
was Impossible. But Garcia could tnko
no contradiction. All ho answered
was: “You’ll make your flrst appear-
nnee on Saturday, and bo perfect. If
not, In the last scene, when. I am sup
posed to plunge my dagger Into your
breast, I'll do so In real earnest.”
Tlio frightened girl had to make tho
best of It. Her success wns absolute,
but one little piece of realism. In bor
noting nt tbe end was a delicious
though entirely unconscious ploco of
retaliation upon her father for a rather
brutal method. ITor Desdemonn had
been exquisite; she lmd mndo her what
she was herself, a child! Innocent and
submissive and adoring,
But In the Inst net, when Otliollo
strode toward her with uplifted dag
ger, In Mnllbrnn. truly frightened out
of her wits, rnn away fr.mv him and
mndo for windows and doors, frantic
ally trying to escape. When her father
at last caught bold of her, so real had
the whole tiling become that, seizing
the handjfwffl which lie was supposed
to murder her, she bit It till It bled.
Gnrcln gave a cry of pain, which the
audience took for a cry of rage, and the
act ended til deafening applause for
father and daughter.
Tbe incident, reveals la Mallbran.
She wns never, In one sense of tho
word, an actress nt nil. There wns no

“Mr. Duke,” said the stenographer.
“Hull?" the old man grunted.

am sorry, but smoking always makes
me sick."

companied by a woman. It - Is the
same after a party lias been together
