PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
Sir Walter Scott 1771 1832 was the
first of the great romantic writers of the
modern England As a boy he showed
an extraordinary fondness for collecting
and learning by heart the legends and
and old time ballads which were current
in that part of Scotland where ne was
born Grown older he found eaual
pleasure in studying the records and tra
ditions of early English and Scottish
history From childhood he had a re
markable gift for story telling and
would weave together strange and curi
ous bits of antique lore for the delight
of his companions Later he became
for a while the most popular poet in
Great Britain by publishing a series of
poems among which Marmion The
Lady of the Lake and Rokeby have
endured the test of time
In 1814 Scott turned from poetry to
prose and published an anonymously
the historical novel Waverly which
took the whole English reading world
by storm This triumph was repeated
in the splendid novels which followed in
rapid succession Between 1815 and
1825 twelve of these so called Waverly
novels came from his pen The Waver
ly novels may be grouped under two
heads novels of Scottish life and novels
based upon incidents of English his
tory Of the former the greatest are
Guy Mannering Rob Roy The
Heart of Midlothian and Old Mor
tality Of the latter the most famous
are Kenilworth Ivanhoe and
The Talisman
The romance of Ivanhoe is the
most spirited and stirring picture of the
age of chivalry which English literature
contains It lis vivid fiction drama
woven throughout with historic fact
and verifies by the glow of a powerful
imagination It touches a remote period
of the past and make it live again re
vealing with boldfree strokes a wonder
ful succession of thrilling adventures
while every page of it is true to life in
stinct with human passion and pro
found in its knowledge of human nature
The Waverly novels are in the library

TAMED BY KINDNESS
The Method of the Elephant Hunter
In the Far Bast
This Is how elephants are hunted In
Ceylon The people begin by clearing
an open space near a forest part of
which Is strongly fenced in with trunks
of trees with open places for doors
lnen the elephants are found and -with
blazing torches rattling of noisy in
struments and spears are driven to
ward the open doors
At last with a rush the great herd
enters the entrances are barred and
the poor giants of the wood find them
selves hopelessly imprisoned An ele
phants rage is dreadful to witness but
the ingenuity of man has found a way
of subduing It One by one each pris
oner is freed again and tame ele
phants remarkable for their sagacity
come up to him stroke him with their
trunks and otherwise cajole him until
they lead him on to a good strong tree
The natives creep up behind and In a
minute the elephant Is made fast to the
tree by his leg
All the time this Is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded
victim but as soon as he is secured
they go away and leave him Then
the men bring him cocoanuts and
leaves to eat which of course he re
fuses as he is ngain in a great passion
and struggling to be free
But hunger subdues even the fiercest
and at last his wild roaring ceases and
he eats From that time the taming
process is comparatively easy Again
and again he is fed as he requires it
by a kind hand and the elephant sus
ceptible to kindness becomes at last a
docile servant of the man
White Ants of Africa
Natives of the east coast of Africa
do not object to the presence of the
great white ant colonies In their neigh
borhood The ants exercise great fer
tilizing power on the crops A resi
dent of that country writes Every
season I have seen the wonderful ef
fects the white ant hill produces on the
Kaffirs maize and corn Whenever
there happens to be an ant hill In a gar
den its immediate vicinity can be at
once distinguished as the maize and
corn are fully double the size of the
surrounding crop The bush countrv
a few miles from this place is swarm
ing with white ants and has also a
large native population The ants do
not attack green crops to any extent
Resources of Genius
The editor looked over the manu
script submitted by the village poet
and frowned
Here is one line he said In which
you speak of the music of the elder
press How would you undertake to
Imitate the music of the cider press
I should think it might be done
with a juice harp answered the poet

ANCIENT BELLS
Well Known to the Eprrptlnns Before
the Jewish Exodus
Bells were well known to the Egyp
tians before the time of the Jewish ex
odus In the description of Aarons
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there were bells of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue of purple
and of scarlet A golden bell and a
pomegranate a golden bell and a pome
granate upon the hem of the robe
round about And It shall be upon
Aaron to minister and his sound shall
be heard when he goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
cometh out that he die not
Hand bells were In common use all
over the ancient world The earliest
use of bells In churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to Infest
earth and air and the earliest curfew
was rung at nightfall to rid the neigh
borhood of the village or town and
church of demons Most old churches
of Europe have a small door on the
north side and at certain points in the
service this door was opened and a
bell was rung to give notice to the dev
il If he chanced to be present that he
might make his exit before the eleva
tion By the command of Pope John
IX church bells were rung as a protec
tion against thunder and lightning
The monument of Porsena the Etru
rian king was decorated with pinna
cles each surmounted with a bell
which tinkled in the breeze The army
of Clothaire raised the siege of Sens
on account of a panic occasioned among
the men by a sudden chime from the
bells of St Stephens church

something in the stomach that nature
wants to throw up When one has diar

check any such effort without being
Bure that Its arrest will be beneficial
