From the inscriptions upon them it is supposed that the iivo hells that at first composed tho chime were cast in London. Ono more, it is Ixillcvod, came from England iu 1788, tvuen the second Trinity church was erected. When the present Trinity church was built in ISM there were six old bells iu tlie steeple. The largest ono was cracked and was sent to 'Iroyto bo recast, and nt tho same time four more Troy bells were DOttgnr. Consequently tho Trinity chime now consists of ten bells, flvo cast In England and five cast in Troy. Tho lamest weighs 3,801 pounds, tho smallest 730. and the wholo together about 15.000 pounds. They nro hung in such a heavy wooden framework that tho full volume of their sound is never heard in the street.

Miss Laura Col lins, the elder of the two elderly women who lived lu the cottage, used to tell the storvthus: My sister Dmmelino is what j ou might call nbsentminded. She gets her mind set on something, and then she doesn't pay teal strict attention to wliat she's doing. Ono evening she came into the kitchen where I was sitting and said, "I'm going down to the corner to call on Mrs. Stone." And I Baid: "I will go. It's a pleasant evening for a walk; moonlight, and the stars are out." I noticed that Emmellne had on her big snnbonnet, but I didn't Bay anything about It; everybody in tne village was used to seeing herwearit intheevening, and even on rainy days. 1 went on sew intr. and in a minnte I heard Emmeline say; "Why, it must have clouded np suddenly, mere isn t a star to ue seen, It's a terribly black night I" I looked up, and there stood Emmeline with the edge of her sunbonnet pressed up against the door. She had forgotten to open it before sho looked ont to se what kind ot a night it was, and of course, the door being painted black that mado considerable difference.

Uallam records that all through the Sixteenth and the beginning of the bev enteenth century, patents to deal exclu sively In particular articles were granted so lavishly to tbe courtiers that hardly commodity remained free.

The practice was for the favored court iers to sell their patents of monopoly to companies of merchants or syndicates. as we should call them nowadays-to work them.

Uew They Itobbed th. Marquis. In the old range cattle boom days, when money from foreign lands was pouring into the west like water, there were a good many sharp tricks vrac tlced in delivering cattle. It is recalled that the Marquis de Morps, who tried to cnt such a conspicuous figure as a rovo- lutionizer of the American meat trade, aad who later became notorious as a duelist, was badly sold. While In Da kota he bought 10,000 head of cattle from two Englishmen. They were first class cattle and cost forty dollars ahead. When these two Britons delivered the cows they worked ono of tbe neatest "akin" games that was ever beard of. Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with table lands en each side. Well, tho Englishmen ran 5,000 head of cattle in on the marquis and collected for 10,000, The way they did it was by running the same 5,000 twice around the 1,111. De Mores never "tumbled" until be had paid his $100,000 and the merry cockneys were bound for South Amer ica. It was a clear steal of $200,000, bnt (be marquis didn't make much bones about it.

TURKEY WAS ABSENT. ttow a Crowd or Country Lnds Spoiled a Nicely rianned Feast Slysterlous Dis appearance of a rtnast Turkey The Flight of a Tender Morsel. A gentleman noted for his originality made the following improvement to tho old saying, "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the saucer," the other day In speaking of a disappointment n friend of his had experienced In losing his din ner through missing a train ndlnner to which hejiad been invited and nt which be had been selocted to respond to one of tho toasts. The simple missing of the dinner was moro than set off nt the old (lehernl Shields hotol, on the West Chester pike. A company of twelve Philadclphlans In terested In real estate developments had mme out iu the country for tho purpose of looking about for profitable Invest ments, and had sent word to tho proprie tor of tho old hostelry of their coming and ordered an old fashioned turkey din ner to bo ready nt 0 o'clock. Tho order put the proprietor in his best humor nnd the entire establishment into an unusual flurry of exciting prepara tion. The hostler hurried to the nearest farmhouse, where lie purchased the finest turkey to Ik) had, nnd carried it back to the hotel lu triumph. Taking it into tho stable ho dispatched nnd plucked ft in great haste. Everything was excitement in the laie kitchen from the tlmo tho order was announced until late in the nftorncon, when tho last dish was ready to 1m curried to the dining room. The news of tho gentlemen coming spread through tho village, nnd evory ono felt duty bound to go to the hotel and see thorn, and nouo took a greater interest in the affair than tho luvs. They had finished their chores tiuiisu.iily early nnd were promptly on hand long before the hour of serving tho nr.per. Of the entire community none fc.. his personal importanco moro than Dave Peters, tbe colored waiter. Davowasof portly build and prided himself in his appearance, nnd If he hod a hatred for ono thing moro than any other, that thing was a claw hammer coat, which ho said belonged lo society gentlemen and not to a waiter, conse quently ho held to the old fashioned roundabout jacket. Just before the tlmo for announcing that dinner was ready a number of tho village boys stood peering through ono of tho dining room windows, watching Dave arrange the different dishes on the table nnd ad miring the display made by the twelve napkins in as many cut gloss goblets. After viewing the effects of tho tablo with a countenance beaming with satisfaction, Dave strutted toward the door nnd disappeared by descending the stairs leading to the kitchen, and a few moments later reappeared, carrying on a largo dish tho turkey, dono to n lovely brown and beautifully garnished with carved roses, sprays of parsley and cel ery top3. Walking toward the table he found that no room had been lef t for the central and chief adornment of the table. Taking the situation In at a glance, D.ive saw his inistako, and hur riedly set tho dish down upon the broad sill of tho' window through which the boys were peering, and began rearrang ing the tablo to mako room for the turkey. Ko sooner had he turned his back to tho window than one of the boys softly and quietly raised the sash, while an other grabbed the turkey from tho dish and fled across tho hotel yard toward the old stable, followed by his compan ions. After making room for the large dish Dave turned around, stepped to the window, raised the dish and placed it in its position in the center of the table, never noticing that the bird had flown. Going to the sideboard he picked np the supper bell and gavo It a violent ring, thus notifying the host that dinner was ready. "This way, gentlemen; this way, please," spoke the proprietor to his guests; "step this way, gentlemen," leading them through a narrow passage from the bar to the dining room. Ko sooner had ho reached the dining room than his gaze fell upon the empty plate, when he exclaimed, "David, where in the name of General Jackson is lhat turkey?" Poor Davel Never was a man taken more by surprise. When for the first time he noticed the broken platter bis broad Binile vanished. In an instant his jaw fell and his large eyeballs stared most frightfully, while his whole frame shook with a terrible tremor. All he could say In reply to the abrupt and em phatio question was, "Don't know, sir; it was dar, it was dar," and hurrying to the kitchen stairs he shouted down, "You, Plicehy, whar in deb'l's dat tur key?" "Go erlong now, you'a got it np dar long ergo." The disappearance was not only a mystery to the waiter and cook, but to tbe proprietor aa well, who in an apologetio manner asked the guests to repair again to tho barroom while a thorough investigation could be made. Every one in the house, Including the hostler, was questioned and cross ques tioned, yet no light could be thrown ou the mystery. After wasting an hour lu trying to find the missing bird, and after a consultation with the guests, fried bam and eggs were substituted for the turkey. It was not till two hours later, when the guests were about to depart, that the proprietor learned what had become of the turkey. One of tbe boys, more bold than his companions, came back to the hotel to see how tho joko worked, and thinking tho story of the bird's disap pearance too good to keep, told It to one ot the men that were loitering about the outside of the hotel. The next morning the picked bones of the turkey were found scattered about on the ground back of the stable, where the boys bad, after carving it with their pocketknives, greedily devoured the well cooked bird.
