"Bell ringing," said the bell ringer, "reached Its height in Belgium after the middle age. The Belgian bell ringers invented the claTecln. This was a keyboard similar to a piano's, and each key being struck caused a hammer to hit a bell. In that way a clever bell ringer could get out of his chimes swift changes and intricate harmonies unknown before. The claTecln lifted bell ringing from manual labor to high art. But it must have been funny to see a performer playing on bis piano-like clavecin. The keys were stiff, they bad to be struck very hard, and hence the player wore thick gloves. He stood off from the instrument, sleeves rolled up and brow knitted, and, doubling his fists, he rained blow on blow with all his force. We bell ringers hare no clavecins today, nor nave we the skill of the ringers of the past.' ' National Characteristics. Why is it that we associate the Germane with qualities of soberness and stolidity, while wc are quite' ready to expect frivolity and fllgbtlness from the French? I do not know, for la all matters ef criticism the French are pre-eminently sane, while no theory Is too fantastic to make the reputation of a ptvf easor in Gennanxr-London Faturday Berirw. . f

Emporia Gazette. Not a Favored Location. The beauties and wonders of nature as displayed in Vancouver have formed the theme of many a traveler's rhapsody, but it appears that there are people who do not appreciate them. One such woman, born and bred in Vancouver, recently visited tn New York. "It must be wonderful to have lived and grown up In such a place," said a New Yorker who had traveled round the world. "Why.

SHOULD GIVE PROTECTION

THIS COUNTRY'S DUTY TO ASSIST THE BLACK REPUBLIC. WHOSE GREAT FRIENO IS SECRETARY BACON. Washington. Feb. 15. The United States will send a warship to Liberia within the nest few days and a commission will be appointed by the slate department for the purpose of instructing the government with a Tiew to botter administration. Those who have watched the recession of the country say it is due to corrupt administration; that the United States has a moral duty resting upon it to impress upon Liberia that this country is interested in Its welfare, and that it desires and in the development of the negro people. Secretary Bacon says the United States has developed the negro to a high standard of living and it is its duty to protect him. The I. S. consul at Monrovia, Ernest Lyon, who is a negro, says in a dispatch to the department that Liberia is en tirely without funds and is much ia debt which it will never be able to pay. The country has little trade with the United States. A British gunboat has arrived on the coast and a company of soldiers has been sent from Sierra Leone to Monrovia, the capital. Minna. The manna of commerce comes chiefly from Sicily, it is a sweet substauce obtained from a small tree known as the manna ash. This tree can be grown as far north as England, but in that country it yields no manna and Is cultivated for ornament only. The manna is formed from the sap. The trees are ready to be tapped at the age of eight years, when the stems have a diameter of about three inches. Jost Deceive!. Severs! Ctrscf $3.50 . CflAL Try ILM 0.
