One of the best known bells in the world has, strange to say, never been rungâ€"that known as the Czar K010- kol, or the czar bell. This bell is said to be the largest anywhere. There is an interesting history attached to it When it had been cast, attempt was made to hang it so that it might be rung, but by an unhappy chance it broke from its supports and fell to the ground, wherein it made a great hole, into which it sank and lay for many years. Finally, after more than a hundred years of oblivion, it was raised and placed in a public square in Moscow, where it now stands. This-t hell weighs more than 440,000 pounds and is more than nineteen feet in height and sixty feet in circumfer: t1 A Dlmdor That Attacks All Ages and Conditions of People. Laryngitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane “hich lines th larynx, a disorder which attacks 31 ages and comhtions of peOple. but is likely to be more SEYiUU.‘ in the case Of children than 111 that of adults When a child develops a tendency to attacks of laryngitis a thorough ex amination ot the air passages should be made by a specialist in throat dis- orders, and in most cases some con- traction or chronic inflammation will be found which calls for correction. The importance of this will be recog- nized when it is understood by par- cats that one attack predisposes to others until the unfortunate child he- comes the victim of so-called croup with the least exposure or indiscre- tion, and all the time the trouble may be caused by the mouth breath- ing, which keeps the throat and all the air passages in a state oi irrita- tion and delicacy. An attack of acute laryngitis in one predisposed to it may be brought «an in various ways. Sitting with wet {wet will Often do the mischief.

It is related that the Spaniards found mirrors of no!- ishcd black stnne, both convex and concave, among the natives of South America. In grown-up people an attack of acute laryngitis is rarely fatal, al- though its symptoms, which include breathlessness and sometimes com- plete loss of voice, often give rise to much alarm. In children the pas- sages are narrower, and they are less able to throw off the secretions, with the result that an attack of laryngitis may become croupous in character and consequently dangerous to life. . Mirrors of the Israelites. The earliest mirrors of which men- tion is made in history were in use among the Israelites in the time. of Moses. That gentleman, as recorded in the Bible. commanded in a certain emergency tlmt these articles should he transfnrnwl into wash basins for the priests. They were made of brass. Doubtless similar utensils of this and “We in London think ofirselves fortunate in getting the telephone for $20 a year as subscription and 1d. per local call," remarks the Can- adian Gazette.

Prior to the first coining Egyptian and perhaps other “money” was made into rings for the sake of convenience, and the bundles of money carried by the sons of Jacob when they went into Egypt to bu.y,corn were doubtless strings of gold or silver rings of a fixed weight. Ring Currency and the First Gold and Silver Coins. Earliest history refers familiarly to the use of gold and silver as a pur- chasing medium, but the metals were exchanged in the form of bars or dust for many centuries. Even to-day. the Chinese pretcx' their gold and Silver in bullion form. -9- ~â€"---'-- .vâ€"..-: The credit of making the first gold coins is given to the Lydians by Hero- dotus, and the first silver coins are supposed to have been minted on the island of ligina, 660 B.C. There are to be found in the varioue'large mu- seuxus oi the world coins of “ersia is- sued 350 B.C. The earliest coins known in Palestine were called Dario, or king’s money (from Darius). 4.11 were coined 450 B.C. In the year 139 8.0. Antiochus VII. granted the privilege of coimng mon- ey among the Jews to Simon Macca- beus, and the various pieces are dat- ed “in the first (or second) year of Simon, benefactor of the Jews, high priest.” The earliest Biblical mention of wealth is. that of Abraham when he left Egypt to return to Canaan anl the 1,000 pieces of silver that Abim- elech gave Abraham for Sarah’s use. Abraham bought the cave of Mach- pelah and weighed to Ephron 400 shekels of silver. Achen stole a wedge 0f_g01d weighing fifty Shekels.‘ 1 Fortunately it has been the custom from earliest times to date coins in some manner, and by their aid it has been possible to 1.1‘uve the truth of legends and traditi..us even after cen- turies, and the iimimg of a single coin has often served to throw a great light on a dark page of history. Origin of “Budget.” It is difficult to realize that the term “budsret.” now so of‘ :11 in every one’s mouth, is a term less than 200 years old, the earliest mention of the word dating no further. back than 1733. We borrowed it trom the old French languageâ€"bougctto, moaning a. small bag, in which in fo‘rmcr fimes it was Lids, I” "lllbll Ill Ag'thlyu ...;-v - the custom to put the estimates of re- ceipt-s and expenditures when pr: synt- ed to Parliament; hence the (‘imn‘ cellor of the Exchequer, in making his annual statement, was formerly said to Open his: budget. In time the term passed from the receptacle to the contents. and, curiously. this new signification was returned from England to France, where it was first used in an official manner in the early part of the nineteenth century. --London Chronicle. tohave fallen from heaven in M0- hmmed’ I time. Ornamental Trees. The secret of vigorous growth of ornamental trees lies in proper pre- paration of the. soil before planting. Make the holes at least three feet across and ot' a like depthâ€"you can- not make them too large nor too deep. Do not dump in a lot of manure or trash of any kind, but first put. back the surface soil and if possible fill in the hole with nothing but surface soil from surroundinf territory, leav- ing the other soil to be scattered Where is may get aerated and enrich- ed. If necessary to use manure, let it be well rotted and most thoroughly mixed with the soil before putting it around the tree. a crumb was left, by 4 two of the boys looked gaunt and pale, and at 6, when she reached her destination, two of the children had starved to death. In the state of Chiapas. Mexico, a bridge which spans the Rio Nichol, which with its approaches is 150 feet long, with a width of fifteen feet, is built entirely of solid mahogany. The bridge is used both by teams and by foot passengers and, though roughly constructed, is very substantial. None of the massive timbers was sawed, as there is not a sawmill in the region, but all were hewn out with the axe from logs.

A story is told of how Paganini once came into the coneert room, took athe violin and touched the strinqs. First one string broke, and a smile went around the room; then another string broke, and there was more audible expression of mockery. When a third string broke many geople laughed outright at his dis- wmfiture. But Paganini stood forth with his violin as though nothing had happened and played on the one string, and the people ceased to smile, but listened spellbound. Some of those who had derided him began to weep, and some even prayed. Many a man had fallen helpless by the Wayside when some great catastrophe turned the. current of his life aside.
