There is no doubt that there is a
relation between education and crime.
British statistics show plainly enough
/or a bliad man to see that the wider
the educational privileges are ex
tended the lower is the ratio of crime.
How could it be otherwise? A great
many crimes are committed by men
who are not totally depraved, because
they have no resources and don't know
how to get a living. An education
_^_gives them opportunities. It makes
them self-rehunt, and if they can't do
one thing they do another. Tho temp
tation to lead a vicious life is thereby
weakened. '

then takes np the presidency and
says: "Did yon ever notice how few
presidents of tho United States were
city-bred, and how few hailed from
cities when elected. Come to think
of it New York city has contributed
only one president, Chester A, ? Ar

act of providence, Arthur,the solitary
urban president, was country born,his
birthplace being Fairfield, Yt. In
fact,-it may be said that no man born
m a largo city ever became president
of the United States. Jefferson, Mon
roe and Madison were country gentle
men before aud after taking the presi.
dency. The two Adamses, father and
son, were natives of Braintree, Mass.,
and lived at Quincy. Audrew Jack
eon was an out-and-out countryman.
Martin Yan Buren was boru at Kin
derhook, N. Y., and began a life of
office-holding as surrogate of Colum
bia county. Polk was a countryman
all his life. The elder Harrison was
farmer born,and theyounger,although
hailing from Indianapolis when elected
was born at North Bend, a small vil
lage m Ohio, and was countrybred.
Taylor and Tyler were "born and

countryman, born st Summerhill, Ca

city born being Andrew Johnson, who
w?e a native of Raleigh, N. C., when
it had the popnlation of a village. It
is the same way in business maintains
the Atlanta Constitution. Almost
every great capitalist, merchant and
professional man in the United States
is country-bred. The man born in
cities who inherit fortunes and step
into the shoes of their fathers find it
difficult to hold their own against
country boys. And it is so in litera

A BIG BELL
LARGEST EVER CAST ON THIS
CONTINENT.
/?o Welsn Nearly Firteen Tons, and
to Hans: In the Suburbs of Cin
cinnati-A Uuique
Feature.
"T T3ERTY|Bell is at last, to have
p a rival. Not, indeed, ia fame,
_V nor in the hearts of the peo
ple. Tn those respects it
will ever stand unrivalled. Bet, in
size, at least, a rival is now being
made ready for a massive belfry in the
suburbs of Cincinnati, where it is
soon to ring ont the loudest peal that
has ever vibrated upon the free air of
America. The new bell is to weigh
nearly fifteen tons, and the great bell
in the cathedral at Moutreal, hitherto
the largest on the American continent,
weighs loss than thirteen tons. The
largest in England, the Westminster
bell, weighs about the same, while one
in Vienna, the largest in actual ase in
Earope, weighs about twenty tons.
The monster of Moscow, which lies
broken end prostrate, weighod more
than 200 tona mt it was simply
a huge mistake, which having failed
as a bell is now used as a chapel. It
is stated, too, that there is a mon
stronsity somewbero in China that
weighs aboat sixty conn.
The great Chinese cr.t call ia said to
be about fourteen feet in height and
shaped li ie a barrel. The Cincinnati
bell, which is modelled after a bell in
Erfurt, Prussia, is accounted the
sweetest ia the world, is sevea feet
ia height and aine ia diameter at the
base. The clapper will weigh 640
poudds. It is stipulated that the bell
shall be so poised that one man can
ring it.
WORKMAN POLISHING THE INTERIOR
The ornamentation of the Cincin
nati bell is believed to be more elab
orate than that of any other in exist
ence. Civic and ecclesiastical decora
tKmsjgj?? both have place, makio* it
"at once an emblem of patriotic feeling
and a consecrated instrument of wor
ship. Encircling the body ol the bell,
just above the sounding blow, is
the Latin text of the Lord's prayer in
true Gothic characters about seven
inches high. Above this, on the civio
half, the Arrerican eagle hovers over
CORE OF MOULD IN TETE CASTING PIT.
the great seal of the United States.
Beneath this is the seal of Ohio,
pierced by the stalls that support the
Stars and Stripes, which fall in grace
ful folds on either side ; ai i beneath
this is the seal of the city of Cincin
nati. Medallions of the deceased
donor and family complete the design.
On the ecclesiastical half, under the
surmounting tiara, is a medallion of
Pope Leo XIII., with his seal beneath
it. Just below is the medallion of the
Bight Bev. William Henry Elder,
Archbishop of Cincinnati, through
whioh are crossed the staffs of the
Papa1 banners. Bight and left of this
medallion are two others-of Arch
bishop Purcell and Bishop Fenwick,
the first Bishop of Cincinnati. Be
neath thu oentral medallion is one of
Vicar-General Albrink.
Around the orown, in Gothic relief,
are two verses of mediaeval Latia
hexameters relating to the bells, whioh
read as follows :
Laudo De'im verum, plebt.m voco congrego
clerum;
Fu?era prango, fulgura frango, Sabbata
pango.
This may be approximately, though
not completely, rendered by the quaint
old Engl ish lines :
To calle ye folde at to meeting tyme,
We cb y me;
Wheo joye and myrth are on ye wynge
We rynge;
When wo lamente a passyng soule,
We tollu.
It will be noticed that great sym
metry has been attained by this ar
rangement. The eagle is opposite
the tiara, and the American flag to the
Papal emo'zn ; the seal of the United
States corresponds to that of Borne,
and the aime artistic balance is main
tained in all the parts.
This ornamentation of bells is a pe- j
cul i ar and difficult task. Tho decora
tions munt be in relief to avoid inter
fering with the tone. The medallions,
for example, after being designed by
the artist, and passing through a whole
series of transformations, mast at last
lie accurately impressed upon the clay
of the mould, an op-irution requiring
??reat dexterity-.
The metal need is the usual alloy of
m
copper and tia in the ratio of 78 to
22. No other metals or proportions
give so satisfactory a result. The
idea that an admixture of silver will
sweeten the tone is a popular de
lusion.
From the foundry the bell will be
taken to a vacant ?nace adjoining
Federa1 square, there to be exhibited
for a month. Finally, before bein?
placed in position, tho great bell will
be consecrated according to the Roman
Catholic oustom. The bell will then
be raised to the belfry, where it is to
be mounted in connection with a
chime of twenty-six smaller bells, yet
to be cast.
A novel feature in the proposed
peal of bells will be it3 connection,
by an ingenious device, with the
organ, so that it will be under the
control of the ororanist, and may be
used to reinforce the rendering of the
solemn anthems. Frank Wilson, the
organist, is looking forward to the
time when ho will be enabled to
achieve something unique in the his
tory c f music.
The pastor is the Rev. A. M. Quart
man. A parishioner, Joseph G. Bnd
deke, bequeathed 810,003 to defray
the cost, but at least $5000 more will
be expended before Cincinnati's noble
bells sound.-New York Herald.
Catch iu? the Captain.
The captain of a certain large sail
ing vessel is probably the most polite
officer in the whole mercantile ser
vice. He has, however, a great idea
of his importance, and loses no oppor
tunity of impressing it upon his crew.
In particular, he insists upon being
addressed as "sir" by every one on
board. One day a new hand joined
the ship, and a short time after leav
ing harbor, being a seasoned old salt,
he wa3 intrusted with the wheel. The
captain came up and put the usual
question ;
OF THE L?RGE3T BELL IN AMERICA.
"How's her head?"
"Nor'-by-eftBt, " answered the old
tar, very gruffly.
"My man," suavely answered the
nantain. "on this craft, when one of
crew speaks to iwutj gives rn?. uue
of respect. Don't you think you
might do so, too? Now, how's her
head?",
"Nor'-br-ea^t, I tell yer," shouted
the tar, displaying not a little irrita
tion.
"I'm afraid you don't quite under
stand me," responded the captain,
good-humored ly. "Let me relieve
you at tue wheel, and then do you
take my place and ask me the ques
tion. 1 will then ?how you how it
should be answered." They accord
ingly changed places.
" 'Ow'6 her head?" roared the tar.
"Nor'-by-eastj sir," ieplied the cap
tain, with emphasis on tue sir.
"Then keep her 60, my man, whilst
I goes forrard and has a smoke, " was
the startling rejoinder from the old
reprobate, who calmly commenced to
suit the action to the word.
For the first time on reoord the cap
tain lost his temper.-London Tit

MARRIED EIGHT! YEARS.
Oldest Living Couple la the United
States.
The oldest living couple in the Uni
ted States beyond a doubt has for the
Inst forty year3 resided within three
milos of Black River Falls, Wis. Lonis
and Amelia Darwin were born in the
Province of Ontario, not far from
Montreal. The Husband was born on
September 24, 17SS, or one year be
t?re th? inauguration of the first Pres
ident of tho United States. The wife
was born at La Pero's Isle on March
17, 1791, and is now past her lOlRt
year. The aged people are descend

ants irom a race which for many gen*
orations was noted for remarkable
longevity.
Eighty years have possed since they
were joined in wedlock^ and a family
of twelve obildren was tkp fruits of
their marriage. Five are still living
in the vicinity, ranging Irom seventy
to fifty-four years. The oldest child,
were he living to-day, would be sev
enty-nine years old.
For thirty years Grandma Darwin
was totally blind. Strange and incred
ible as it may seem, in her ninety
ninth year she recovered her second
sight and was able to distinguish her
children. Yet during the period ol
her blindness she performed her
household duties without any assist
ance!
The old gentleman bas been a re
markable man. When he was 100
years old he could dance a jig equal to

years he has gradually wasted away,

age as her venerable consort, now
nearing his end.

Fashions in furs bring chinchilla to

bina tion with white furs. This is
quit a new and rather cold in appear
ance , but the woman with a faultless
com plexion and a lot of color will
havt! an opportunity to make the oth
er w omen feel envious. Auother new
noti an is the encrusting fnr with lace,
pasE ementerie and with bead work of
allports. The effect of a chincailla
fur {with a velvet-like depth of soft
ness) and smoothness, all laid over
thickly at tho throat with a yoke of
spangling beanery, the jewels half |
buiijed in the pile of the fur, is most
artistic and luxurious, but it seems
dreadful to crush down real, fresh fur
thav way, though for last year's cape
or collar no notion could be better.
Ermine is not quite as expensive nor
quite as exclusive as it was last year,
but it holds its own as the handsomest

meeting the lapels in ends of the same

If you livo in a locality where cat
tails grow abundantly, you may have
all the pillows you want at small ex

fact that I had seen it go into the

my exclamation of surprise she told

QUINCE CONSERVES AND DESERTS.
Preserved Quinces-Pare and feed
the fruit ard cut into quarters; place
in a deep kettle wita just enough
water to cover them, and boil until
they can ba readily pierced with a
fork ; when done take out the quar
ters, strain '.ho water and in it dissolve
i pound of sugar for every pound of
quinces; sot over the fire and cook
until the BJ rup is quite thick; thea
xetarn the fruit and boil together five
minutes. Can in glass jars.
Quince Marmalade-This requires
that the fruit be pared, cored and
quartered the same as for preserving;
boil them gently in water uncovered
until.they oegin to soften ; strain off
the water and beat the quince ia a
mortar or a woodea bowl to a thick
pulp; stir ia poundj of sugar for
every pound of fruit and if lemon
flavor be liked, the joice and skin of a
large lemon may be added ; cook unt l
it becomes stiff; put up in small molds.
This marmalade is the foundation for
a nice desert known as
Quince Fritters-These, with mar
malade, are also excellent. Over
three tablespoonfuls of flour pour
enough boiling water to form a stiff
paste, stirriag carefully to prevent its
becoming lumpy ; allow it to cool aal
then break into it the yolks of four
eggs and the whites of two, without
whipping them ; stir and beat all vig
orously together; heat } pound of
lard very hot, drop in a desert spoon
ful of the batter at a time and fry a
delicate brown ; between each two frit
ters pat a spoonful of quince marma
lade, sticking them together. Anoth
er way is to stir pieces of preserved
quice, chopped fine, through the bat
ter before frying. Serve oa a heated
platter and eat with batter and sugar.
Quince Saow-Beat the whites of
two eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten with
i pound of sagar aud ia this meringue

preme Court indicates that Minne
sota husbands with hot-tempered
wives will either have to keep them
at home or send them out calling,
muzzled. The decision is in the case
of William Pett Morgan against
Esther Kennedy et al., and Will ?ara
Kennedy, her husband. The court
holds that the common law rule mak
ing the husband liable for damages
for slanderous words uttered by his
wife, even though he was not pr?sent
and had not participated, is not abro
gated by any of the statutes relating
to 'meninges, but still holds good.
The court finds that the words used
hy Mrs. Kennedy against Morgan,
'*He has been drunk throughout
Thanksgiving week," involve moral
turpitude on plaintiff's part, as well
as charging him with the commission
of an indictable offence .

Funereal Heart.
I attended a funeral in a Dauish village
recently. The sexton of the village
church, who. ns is customary in those
parts, was also the village schoolmaster,
and whose wardrobe was limited, pr?,
seuted himself in black frock coat and
trousers and a vest of homespun material,
red of color and with big silver buttons,
such as one could see the peasants wear
thirty years ago.
The minister roproved him for not
wearing a more somber colored vest.
..Dominie." said the good old schoolmas
ter, "whal difference drun it make fiat
my vest is red? 1 assure you my heart is
black. .' .
