FIRST U$ED BY PAULINUS, BISHOP OF NOLA, ABOUT 400, I- The Early Brltlah Christian* U|ed Wooden Rattles to Call the People Together For Worship — Bella and Thunder and Lightning. Made only by GEORGIA BOW IRKS, 4-lbany, Ga. 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.

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!

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.
