"HELL IX CHURCH." Editor Shells the Woods and Listens ^ for a Yelp. Not more than a thousand miles from Fountain Inn there is a church on which the devil has an overdue mortgage. The majority of the members are headed straight for hell, if there is any truth in Scripture, and God hasn't been inside the building for so long that He wouian t recognize the place now if He went back. Regular services are held. Half the women members attend in order to show off new hats and new clothes, and the other half at* tend in the hope of hearing some new scandal. Nearly all the men members hate one another, and few if any of them are above retelling the nasty scandals brewed by the women. When the preacher criticises certain evils, each member thinks the criticism is directed at some other KW member. No word spoken from the pulpit lodges in a human heart, for iio one listens to tne semiuiio. The hearts of the members are Mk turned to evil, and their minds are sewers for the .reception of filth. , J The men have no yiought of care except the making of money and the hope of doing something to spite some brother member; and many of . the women have lost the power to think of anything that is not lascivious and filthy. Not many of the men can tell the (? tru.h and the women lie by preference. ' , The aim and hope, the desire and pSy*'.*'longing of their lives is to do something to hurt somebody else, and they neither know nor care anything about if . . God. There hasn't been a conversion in .the church for a month of Sundays. Ji/ and there won't be another any time ^ soon?not while the devil owns the gfef premises. If a young man or young woman should come to me and ask me how Kr;; to find God, I would say: "Go to that pj church. Then turn your back to it, start away, and keep going in a straight line. The further away you . get, the better your chances are." I speak forth the words of truth and soberness when I say that God ? will never again enter that church * -3 2 until the women stop sianaer*ng uue Si ; . another and the men stop hating one another. P^;p It isn't a church anyway. It's a cess pool, owned by the devil and ' filled with his garbage. Ipi* (The hit dog howls).?Fountain Inli Tribune. v. \ Carpets Always Clean* f < ^ i sgj , , A woman ^ho always has clean, bright, fresh looking carpets, despite the wear and tear of ,a big family, & tells how she keeps them clean. "To begin with," she said. "I buy good bristle carpet brooms, have them regularly washed and either "hang them up or stand them bristles upwards?never with the bristles on the floor. %$i:t "Any stains or marks on my early pets are attended to at once. "In the case of the fall of soot, you should cover thickly with salt, and sweep up immediately. Should ink be spilt on a carpet, waste no time, but sop up quickly with blotting paper, then wash out with warm, soft ? water and a clean flannel, and dry with a soft duster. If the stain is obstinate, put a teaspoon of salt m a cup of milk and rub well in. "For dirty boot or sticky marks I use ammonia; if it should seem to fade the color, this is easily restored by rubbing with chloroform. A cloth rung out of salt and water brings up the colors after sweeping. "If candle or other grease is spilt you can easily remove it by putting -4 * a sheet of clean blotting paper over the marks and ironing with a hot iron, shifting the paper as the grease is absorbed. . . "To clean and brighten dingy rugs and stair carpets I get a half pint of ox gall from my butcher and mix it with half a pail of cold soft water. Rub the mixture on with a soft scrubbine brush, then snonge the lather off with clean water and rub with a soft cloth. "Thick carpets and Indian rugs should be swept the way of the nap, and, unlike other rugs, the Indian ones should only be swept, not shaken. - "Here is an infallible general cleaner: Take one pound of any pure white soap and shave it fine. Place this in one gallon of boiling water, stir over a moderate fire until the soap is dissolved; then remove from the fire, stir well, and let it stand to cool for thirty minutes. At the end of that time add the following engredients: One-half ounce sulphuric ether, one ounce alcohol, two ounces ammonia, and one and one-half ounces pulverized borax. Let the fluid stand twenty-iour nours oe fore using. With this fluid and a b^ush, scrub the carpet, then rinse with clean water and a sponge." * Read The Herald, $1.50 year. w. . . "J- v _ DEVELOPMENT OF THE RIFLE. Grooving of the Barrel Invention of 16th Century. The rifling or spiral grooving inside the barrel (from the Low German rifle, or groove) in order to give the bullet or ball a spin, like the spin which, I suppose, keeps the planets steady, was the discovery of an unknown sixteenth century genius. But. except by hunters, who usually can take their time, it was nor much used, owing to the difficulty of forcing a bullet down a muzzle just too narrow to receive it. " 1? i?n#,* n-o o nrmnrlpH At nrsi me uunci ?>cio down with a wooden mallet. Then a conical bullet, with a cavity or plug at the lower end, and lubricated with tallow and beeswax, was rammed tight and expanded by the explosion so as to take the grooving. The Crimean war was fought with rifles made on this pattern, sighted to 1,000 yards, and effective up to 500. But Prussia (terribly "efficient" Prussia!) had already adopted another sixteenth century invention, hitherto regarded as too dangerous for. practical use. In the disturbances of 1S48, and the brief but murderous wars with Denmark (1864) and Austria (1866,) the Prussians appeared armed with the "needle gun." It loaded at the breech instead of the muzzle, the advantage being partly in speed of fire, but chiefly in position; for the soldier could now* load lying down, without exposing all his body to the enemy's aim. In imitation France adopted the chassepot, wrhich had a longer accurate range?about 600 yards?but ?i~ onH thrown out of was easn^ IUUICU UUU VMA v > ? _ order. Her collapse before the Prussians in 1870 was not, however, due to the rifle's defects, but to failure in artillery, organization, supply, housekeeping and generalship. In 1867 England had hurriedly constructed the Snider, and in 1871 followed it up with the Martini, a far superior weapon to needle gun or chassepot. It had a muzzle velocity of 1,350 feet a second and could be fired unaimed at 25 rounds a minute. For a long generation it held its place and in spite of a kicking and uncertain temper, it died lamented. Secrets of Medieval Glass. The brilliant colors of the medieval stained glass have been the despair of glass makers for hundreds of years?those vivid colors that let all the light through so that it painted pictures on the walls or floors no modern craftsmen have been able to reproduce except for a few tints of which a maker here and and another ' there managed to find the secret. The smashing of so many Windows ini the cathedral at Rheims, made in the 13th century, gave an opportunity for careful analysis. The fragments picked up around the walls i hv m Phesneau. Iiavw MCCU VUH^Vkwu ~ J ? , assistant director of the French school of mines, who reports to the Academic des Sciences some of tne results. He shows that the workmen of the 13th century had empirically acquire^ an extraordinary knowledge of the effects of many minerals which contained chemical coloring matter entirely unknown to tnem. For instance, in staining glass blue with the blue extract of arsenic-sulphates of natural cobalt they recognized the advantage of a delicate process by which the nickel (always associated with cobalt in nature) was eliminated. Thus they avoided the brown shade anck the darkness that results from the presence of nickel. Then they intentionally added copper, the greenish-blue tint of which corrects the too violet blue of the nnho 11 pUltJ UA1UG U1 \zuumv. They produced their violet glass with the natural unpurified ore ot manganese. Had they purified it they would have got rid of the copper and the cobalt that are found in the ore, and the result would have been tints of far less purity. Their red glass, the secret of which was lost for many centuries and that is equaled now only by that made with gold, is really a bottlegreen glass covered with an extremely thin enamel colored with oxidulated copper?that is, copper very slightly oxidized. M. Chesneau points out that the great superiority of their stained glass, like the superiority of many of the other arts of those 13th century craftsmen over similar modern [work,1 is due to the tendency ot modern craftsmen to seek for results by the use of products that are too chemically pure and to use them in a way that is too regular, too mechanical, while the medieval artists knew the great value of irregularity in producing effects of light color and form.?Scientific American.
