Dominating an It did nil tlio sur
rounding huildims In the famous
square of St. Murk, tho campanile, the
great bell tower of St. Mark's church,
which was demolished tho olher day,
was tlio most coniiplciloiis of nil the
Uiidmarks of Venice, says thu.Now
York Times. It rose sheer above tho
highest pinnacles of tlio famous
church and had stood there, visible
for a considerable distance from the
.lty, for u llttlo over I.immi years.
In the curly days of tho republic men
totd on the tower to watch for home
'oming vessels, and tho news of many
n victory was signaled to tho noxious
citizens in tills way. Hut tho tower
was also used for the purpose which
Us iianiL' signifies. According to somo
nulhorittis, four bells were rung for
vniious purposes, one sounded nt
dawn to call tho laborers, another
opened tho oftlcliil bureaus, a third
called the councils, nnd tho fourth
tolled out tho requiem of persons who
were to bo executed, tlalllel made
ninny observations from tho tower.
Tho campanile was begun by the
dogo 1'lelro 'III 1 m no In the year 8.S8.
In l;i'J!l It was restored. Nearly a cen
tury later It wiih provided with Itr
stone top, and In 1517 tho figure of
tho nngel was placed nt tho summit.
Ihe campanile was built of brick.
It was :U!.- root high mid -111 feet
square, on n stone base, simply dec
orated with slight pilasters. Tho up
per part was an open lantern, with a
Hyrniuldiil roof, and on tho npox was
tho line colossal ntutuo of an nngel,
formed of plates of gilt bronze on n
woihIoii core. Tho campanile was built
on n foundation of ten foot piles of
white poplar closely driven Into tho
stlfT clay. Abovo was n double layer
of oak planks and above them rough
footings of trachyte and other volcanic
stones.
There was no staircase in tho tower,
tho nsccnt being niado by a winding
Inclined piano of thlrty-olght bends
ending In a few steps. The entrance to
tho tower was by a email door on tho
west side. Visitors to Venice usually
choso tho sunset hour for ascending
tho tower, when from the summit a
wonderful view of tho city and Its sur
roundings could bo obtained. Indeed,
to ascend the tower was the only way
to understand tho Intricate plan of tho
city, which from tho top of tho enmpn
ullo was spread out like n map, with
all Its spires nnd churches and distant
inlands, whllo beyond could be seen
the snowy Alps. The tower was al
ways open, but visitors were not nl
lowed to enter It alone. A single trav
eler had to engngo a bystander to en
ter It with him. At the top, even In
modern times, was always stationed n
wiitchmnu, but not for the sumo pur
pone for which n sentinel stood there
In iho dnys of Venice's greatness. Tho
watchman of modern days carried a
telescope, but It was not to scan tho
horizon for vessels bringing news of
victory, but to look for llres In the city
and glvo notlco of them.

Hard l.esaone In flood Manners.
Hchiiol clinfT Is wholesome In most
rases, but It may cramp what should
not bo cramped. As to tho chuff which
a mini gives und gets at a university,
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. It must do good, und It
lias hot the opportunity of doing barm.
Only those receive It who lay them
selves open to receive It. The quiet
man who wishes to rend or to think
apart need hardly ever come luto ton
tact with his fellows unless ho so
chooses. Tho swaggering or bump
tious mail, tho opinionated mail, the
offensive man these nre certain to be
chuffed, nnd the chaff usually goes
homo; not nt once perhaps, but tt usu
ally gets there III the end with satis
factory consequences. The personal
remark may bo rude, but rudeness Is
often a very salutary weapon. It Is
certainly one of tho most valuable In
struments of English education. In
deed it may seem a strange tiling to
any, but It Is surely true that contin
ued experience of calculated, formu
larled and well Inteiitloncd rudeness
tenches eople to be. polite. Loudon
Spectator.
The Home Rulers.
Mrs. Krank-Ycs; I n fond of pets,
have live tats and four dogs thut Just

Mrs. McCnll-Ahl I've often beard of
"reigning cats and dogs." These must
be tho ones. Philadelphia Tress.
