THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
BELLS WITH A HISTORY.
TO SUCCEED WATSON.
Jrr of the 1'imoai Penl of M.
Michael's In Charleston,
Sooth Carolina.
A peal of bells that has had ns nd
Mnturous a career ns any that hung in
old world tower Is the famous penl of
3t. Micruicl's, Charleston, S. C. l'ive
times have these btlls crossed the Ben,
oe ns a heap of ruined metal, and Iwo
armies have they had to encounter or
raoape; yet to-dny the nine hells arc of
inusunl purity and sweetings of tone,
Youth's Companion.'
Cant in Kngland before the revolu
tion, and brought over to St. Michael's,
they met with their firm danger in I hat
war. That they might not be injured,
they were sent back to Kngland. After
the war was over the people of Charles
ton wanted them, and it became the
luty of the first American minister to
England to negotiate for them, lie
wm successful, and amidst triumphant
ovations they were escorted to the
church.
All went well with them till the civil
war. Then the steeple of St. Michael's
was made the target for tht cannon of
the besiegers. It was necessary to re
move the bells to n safer place, and
they were sent to Columbia. When
Shermnn's army took Columbia, the
sheds in the ynrd of the state house,
in which the bells had been placed,
were broken into and the bells smashed
into fragments, while the bheds were
set on C re.
They were not yet done for, however.
At the close of the war the pieces were
carefully gathered together and
shipped to Liverpool, together with ex
tracts from the records of St. Michael's,
showing where the bells were cast and
the proportion of metuls forming the
component parts.
Upon inquiry it was found that the
firm of bell founders that had cast the.
bells was still in existence, unchanged
in name, and consisting of the descend
ants of the original firm. The records
of the firm contained an account of
the cast ing of the bells, and the propor
tions corresponded with those in the
St. Michael's records.
Under such favorable circumstances
it was not hard to recast the bells. Then
for tbe fifth time they crossed the At
lantic and arrived safelv in Charleston.
LEFT-HANDED HANDSHAKE.
Oml. Jack Chlnn Tel In Why Krntnck
lans Prefer That Style at
Present.
State Senntor Frank W. Maynard, of
New Hampshire, has returned to his
home in Nashua from Louisville, Ky.,
where he attended the national con
vention of .the Merchant Tailors' na
tional exchange, bh3-s the Iloston
jlobe. He arrived in Kentucky just
ifter the shooting' of Mr. Goebel and
witnessed the excitement which fol
lowed. During his stay in Louisville
he was introduced to Col. Jack Chinn,
and he tells an amusing story of their
meeting.
"We were introduced," said Senator
Maynard. "by mutual friends, and I
.noticed that Col. Chinn extended his
eft hand to me. At the time I thought
It a bit queer, but after 1 saw him do
he 'same thing with several other
nen I enme to the conclusion that he
was left-handed. Terhnps my face in
licated my surprise at the manner of
shaking hands, for he turned to me
n few minutes later and' remarked:
"'You have noticed, perhaps, that I
hake hands with my left hand? Well,
ve have grown accustomed to that
luring the past few days. You see,
ve like to keep our right hards close
'o our pistol pockets just now.' "
INSENSIBLE TO PAIN.
Animal Do Not Feel the AVhlp n
Keenly na Do Iliinmn
Belnsta.
If it is true that animals feel pain
less than men, then it is also true
that tortures and cruelties some
times inflicted upon animals if ad
ministered to men would be unbear
able to the point almost of insanity
or death. The most sensitive part
af the human frame is the skin, and
while this is true relatively of ani
mals it is certain also that the skin
of dogs or other nnimalB is not so
sensitive or that of man. Besides, the
inimal's skin is protected by a coat
if insensitive hair. In the case of
mrgieal operations on men renching,
Tor instance, to the abdominal cavity,
.t is the incision into the cavity that
requires the taking of anaesthetics,
jind not so much the work to be done
rfter the cavity is opened. After scri
ms operations upon animals which
lave been placed under chloroform
t frequently happens that a few min
ites after recovering consciousness
he animals frisk about the room,
ometimes jumping from the floor to
-he operating table.
DEWEY FAVORS THEM.

Representative Foes, actirvg chnir
nan of the house committee on naval
ffairs, has received from Admiral
Jewey a copy of n memorandum pre
nred by that olliccr's aide, Lieut. II.
I. Caldwell, upon the recent tests of

vdmirnl Dewey, it is understood, in
torsetl the report of his aide, who ex
presses the belief that a determined
ncmy, with submarine boat of the
'Tolland type, could have made impns
Ible the occupation of -Manila bay by
the admiral's squadron.
The expression of opinion made by
he admiral won In response to a re
quest from the senate and house
aval committees, which, before tie
ermlning upon the action to take
pon pending bills, desired to Jenrn
ihe admiral' views.
Admiral George C. firmer Appointed

Admiral George C. Bemey, who has

war began he was commissioned a lieu

the South Atlantic blockading squad

Yorktown and on several occasions

the war the customary shifting life of

to his lot. In IPS." he was made a cap

Spanish war nnd t lie many changes in
the navy that followed it brought
Bemey up to the rank of Admiral.
THE ELECTRIC FAN.
It Haa n Proiulalnu; Outlook for the
Kntnre In the I.nnda lleyontl
the Sena.
The fan-motor is a peculiarly Amer
ican invention. It made its appear
ance upon the scene about 14 years
ago and met with immediate nnd
hearty approval. During the few
years of its history it has been rapid
ly improved ond has now reached a
state of high perfection, says the
Electrical Beview.
Certainly the man who first
thought of making a little breeze
machine was a public benefactor.
The amount of discomfort that has
been relieved by the familiar whiz
zing fan is almost incalculable and
there enn be no doubt that it has
really prolonged nnd doubtless saved
many lives. It is strange that in
countries where the climate is more
oppressive in the summer months
than it is even in the United States
there should not be a more, wide
spread use of these fans. The new
eastern possessions of the United
States nnd the vast area beyond
should open a large market to Amer
ican manufacturers of such goods.
The punkah has been in use in India
from time immemorial, but its days
are certainly numbered if the silent,
efficient. American electric fan ever
betonies fashionable in that country.

Hands delicately moulded and daintily
white are among the chief of woman's
charms. When such hands are marred
by eruptions, their very beauty draws
uttention to the repulsive disease. Hu
mors which break out on the body be
gin in the blood.
Soaps and salves
may cover up a hu
mor but they can't
cure it. There is a
cure for salt-rheum
and other eruptive
diseases, causea by
a corrupt condition
of the blood. Dr.
Pierce's Golden
Medical Ilir.covery
cures these diseases
perfectly and per
manently. It carric
oil the poisons which
cause disease. It
makes the blood
pure and rich. It
increases the quanti
ty of the blood sup
ply by increasing the
action of the blood
making glands. It
niukesthetikiu white
and clear by making
the blood pure.
" Golden Medical
Discovery " contains no ulcohol, whisky
or other intoxicant.
I write to tell you the benefit I have received
from your 'Golden Medical iJiscovery,' after
having suffered for three years with salt-rheum,''
writes Minn Berths l'ter, of l.ulu. Monroe Co.,
Mich. "The humor was on my hands, and I
had lieeu treated by our home jihysiciiiu who
did not help me. After I began the uw of Dr.
I'ierce's Golden Medical Discovery I look seven
bottles, and can now say with pleasure that I
am cured. Nobody knows the Intense pain I
have suffered. I could not sleep at night, the
tinging, burning, and itching sensation would
! so bad, sometimes I could hardly bear it, I
thank you for your kind udvice."
Dr. Pierce's Tleasant Pellets assist the
action of the "Discovery" when there
is constipation.
