The Making of Bels.
Only two metals are now used In
large bells, tin and copper. The Bel
glans use 23 to 30 per cent. ot tin ; the
iEnglish lean to more tin, 2C to 31 peo
cent. Tin makes the bellsound brigh
but it also makes it brittle, and the rea
son why the English can afford to pu
in more of this brittle element is be
ause they'make their bells thicker, as a
rule; and the reason why they are
made thicker is, that instead of being
merely chimed they are swung around
on a wheel, which brings the haimer
with great force upon the boll. I we
treated the delicate Belgian bells lit
this rough fashion we sliouid probably
crack them, though if it were know 1
that they would be swung, the Belgiaal
makers would doubtless thicken them
to order; they are not meant in Beil
glum to be whacked like big drums,
but to be struck with hammers from
pp tof, like a pianoforte. They reson
ate more easily than English bells, re
%uiring a gentler stroke to elloit their
full tone. In a word, the Belgian bell
is a musical note, not a gong or drum.
Secondly, the thickness ami general
proportions of the bell are of the ut
most importance. Bells vary from 1-15
t.o 1-12 of the diameter at the thickest
part of the sound-bow, and the height
Is commonly about twelve times the
d hickness. English bells are, roughly,
as broad as they are long, if you meas
tire diameter from outside rim to rim,
and length from rim to top of canon.
But in truth the thickness of the bell at
different levels is all important. Th
thickness near the top Is as important
as that of the sound-bow, and the di
aneter of the crown as critical a di
mension as that of the rim. The (ee),
riih tone, (in proportion to size) of
the smaller Belgian bells is probably
largely due to the wide top-diameter,
combined with the thinness in certain
portions of the sides half-way down.
The way In which altering the thick
ness aflects the tone, aiid even the
)itch of a bell, Is shown by the fact
that a sharp bell can be flattened by
shaving oWl the metal inside above the
sound-bow; and Mr. Lewis says that
he has destroyed beats by scoop)iig the
hell elsewhere unt li they disu ppeared lit
a certain point, but that on continuing
to scoop they reappeared. All this
shows how pilrely tentativeand experl
mlenltali lit present the art of bell
himinding in England. In Belgium it
is not -4cientille, but emperical, the ac
enmihated experience of ages. A cer
lii tact or rule of thumb takes the
place of scienoc ; rules must be founded
on iprinciplcs, but the masters caniot
explain their secrets. They produce
the work (if art, others are left to dIs
cover the laws they have obeyed.
Wheni we have analyzed their metho(ds
we may be able to make their bells. So
thought the Germans when they menas
tired and analyzed Raphael and Tinte
ret, and produced the correct but life
less barnahIes of Ary Scheffer; so
thought Vuillaume when he mm itated
the very warm-holes lit the Amatis. It
maiy turn out that in thme miaking of
rIch musical bells, like those of Van
Aerschodt, there 11 something whieh
can not be taught-trho instinet, the ini
comm n i ciable touchi.

Pretty Gtil for Sale at ,i Chuurcit Fair.
It has grown lnto a fashionable cuis
toim of late to have a mock iution sale
of the prettiest girls at churtch festivals.
It tends to increase time resources of the
church, and ait the same tine very
clearly demonstrates In which wiiy the

reasonable to suppose thait 1 n bitlous

--has come very near w~reeking the

iare these:
a yotung gentleman who confesses to

young ladies who are to be disposed of,

his dutlcinea a few evenings since, and

lunting In Hungary.
The author of a work oat travels in
Hungary thus describes a hunting ex
pedition in a forest in the Tokay dis
trict: "We were only ten guns, and
were soon posted, civh man in his
proper position, wiiting for the
schwarwild, as the Germans say; but,
alas I nothing appeared till the beaters
themselves cane In sight. So we had
to organize battue number two. The
beaters walk quietly forward, tapping
the trees now and then. This is quiite
noise enough for the purpose of rotising
the gaume; if they shouted or made too
much row, the game would get wild
and scared. Jin the next battue I had
hardly been live minutes at my post
when I heard from behind the breaking
of dead branches, as of some animal ad
vancing slowly. It was a flue buck,
which tande Ills appeatrance, but lie
scented me and made off. Again about
a hundred yards off, I caught a gliunpse
of hn between the trees. I fired with
effect. We found him afterward abou
two hundred yards farther on, where
lie had h'llen. It was very provoking;
up to lunch time we sighted tie wild
boar, but saw by the snow that they
had been about the hillside during (he
night. We had soon a good fire
blazing, at whiclh robber steak was
nicely cooked. I never enjoyed any
thing more. We washed down ouir re
past with good 'okny. After iuncheon
we commenced work again. By this
tine we had advanced into the very
heart of the forest. The smooth boles
of the tall beach trees looked grand in
their winter nakedness, rislig like col
umn us from the white frost-bespanlgled
ground. I took up mny stand. gin in
readiness, waiting for the tramp, the
stiort, or the grizzly (lark form of the
wild boar ; bit nothing came to disturb
the titter solitude of the scene. But
hark I I hear shots fired repeatedly in
the lower valley. I, too, begin to look
out, wit h quickened pltle, peering Into
the i1sty depthis of the forest, and with
ear alert for every sound; butt all to no
purpose. Nothing comes my way,
thiough again I hear two more shots'
echo sharply in the narrow valley,
nearer to me than before. A fter the
hipse of a few mintttes the bcaters came
ip, breaking th rotugh the dead branches
of undereover. I knew nlow that miy
own chance wits gotie; but I was cur
lous to know what had happened, and
Joining two of my friends whose 'stand'
had been near mine, we hurried down
the valley to see what sport had turned
uip far the other guns. On inqtiiry it,
appeared that at least seventy wild
boat's had passed close to one of -our
party ; hut the sight of so many atonce

the half-friozen stream at the bottom of

formed one more battue. but nothing
came of it - and it was already high

whole scene was growing dim in the
wintry twilight. Some of the pri'ty,

ers should be petted till they give milk. at
They should be taught that man is their w
friend, not enemy. They should be fe
well red, because they can not give
milk without eating the material to
furnish It. Is given warm stables and le
warm beds their systems do not re- tc

more milk therefor. For family cows, bi

These substances will need to be re
newed often, as they glaze over and
allow the insects to run up over the C4

weather as to how often the tar or ink
should be renewed. One must watch Ii
and see. Sometimes when the insects
are very numerous they fill in and
bridge over the tar or ink with dead al

very good one, Is to have a zaic, Iron or

by the name of Dust, against the wish
of .her parents. After a short time
they lived unhappily together, and she
returned to her father's house; but
he refused to receive her, saying:
"Dust thou art, and unto Dust thou
shalt return." And she got up and
"dusted."
Tr tramp's last dodge is to ask your
advice about going to the next town,
and when you warmly advise hin to
go, he says'he has great confidence in
your good Judgment, and will emigrate
further on at once. "But," he adds,
"wouldn't you advise me to borrow ten
cents before I start?"
"Do You know what you are eating?"
whispered one of the boarders, as he
watched his neighbor wrestling with a
slice of leathery pie. "Alas I' sighed,
sighed the martyr, "I know only too
well. 'Tis but a little faded flour."
And ho passed his place for another
slice.
"MAMMIA, I don't think the people
who make dolls are very pious people,"
said a little girl :to her mother one
day. "Why not, my child?" "Be
cause, you can never make them kneel.
I always have to lay my doll down on
her stomach to make her say her pray
ers."
Ti'inR was an ingenious amount- of
devotion implied in the remark of a
love-sick millionaire when the object
of his affections became ecstatic over the
beauty of tWe evening star. "Oh, do
not praise it like thatI" lie cried; "I
cannot get it for you,"
A LrOAL gentleman met a brother
lawyer on the street one day recently,
and the following conversation took
place: "Well, Judge, how is busi
ness ?" "Dull, dull; "1 am living on
faith and hope." "Very good, but I
have got past you, for I'm living on
charity."
A Sco-rcu nobleman one day visited
a lawyer at hs ofice, III which, at the
time, there -.-as a blazing fire, which
led him to exclaim, "Mr. X-, your
office is as hot as an oyen." "So it
should be, my lord." answered the
lawyer, "for it is here I make my
bread."

A LADY not accustomed to raising
poultry, set a hen on some eggs, and in
due course of time a brood of chickens
was hatched. A friend coining in four
days aftervards, noticing that the lit
tle things looked weak and )Ipuny, asked
how often they were fed. "Fed I" was
the reply, "woy, [ thought the hen
nursed thei.''
A PROMINENT attorney residing In
Syracuse, N. Y., while ilshing a few
days since pointed out to his companion
a signboard, remarking: "The fellow
that put up tha' sign Is a liar."
"Why?" asked his companion. "Be
cause that lsign reads, 'No fishing In
this brook,' and I caught the best trout
in my basket directly under that
board."
"1 JIRAJID you kiss Fred,'' lie abruptly
remarked to his sister.
" What do you mean, you rude
boy?" cried the sweet sister, turning
Rcarlet.
"Oh, It's no use denying it," replied
her brother; "you can't gammon me. I
know thiesound, you know ; it was Ijust
like a cow puilllng her footout of a mud
hole."
"Ilow shall we train our girls?"
asks an exchange. "Train 'emi with
about twenty-two yards of black silk,
if you want to please your girls. A
silk velvet train WOuldi also make them
hiappy."
THE man who is ro lazy to carry a
scuittle of coal up stairs for his wife,
will think nothing of rowing about
five miles or of practicing with dumb
bells for half an hour before break
fast.
"I HAD no time to stuff tile chicken,"
apologize(1 a landlady to her boarders.
"Never mind, madam; it's tough
enough as it ls, ' replied one of them.
SoyE Nevada mines that used to go

A Gaa Cock.-lt is maid that there is
a clock in the Guildhall'Museum Lon
don of which the motive power Is hy
drogen gas, generated by the action of
diluted sulphuric acid on a ball of zinc.
The clock resembles a large colored
glass cylinder without any cover, and
about half full of sulphuric acid.
Floating on the top of this acid is a
glass bell, and the gas generated .forces
forward this concave receiver ulntil it
nearly reaches the top) of tile cylinder,
wvhen, by the action of a delicate lever,
two valves become simultaneously
opened. One of these allows the gas to
escape, thereby cauising the receiver to
descend, aind the other permits a fresh
ball of zinc to fall into the acid. 'rhe
same operation is repeated 'as long as
the materials for making gas are suip
lied, and this Is affected without
windIng or man~ipLuation of any kind.
The dial plate is fixed to the front of
the cylinder, aiid communicates' by
wheels,. etc., with a sniall glass per
p~endiicular shaft, which rIses with the
receiver anid sets the wheels in motion.

He Thought so.
The man In charge of the big engino
in the Water Works realizes that he Ii a
a curiosity for some visitors, and when
callers express surprise and interest lie
feels pleased. The other day a strati
ger came in for a look around, and his
general make-up satisfied the engineer
that he was a person of deep thought
and a man to appreciate the merits of
niOnster machinery. The stranger
viewed the engine from every side and
angle, and sat down. Then lie review
ed it and took another rest. Then he
walked around the building in a wise
way and came back for another inspec
tion. For two long hours lie hardly
had his eyes off the ponderous machin
ery but was at last ready to go. Tak
ing one last look he walked up to the
engineer and said:
"Say, mister, this 'ere Injine runs by
steam, don't It?"
"Why, of course," was the amazed
answer.
"Well, I LUought so more'n half an
hour ago," continued the man, "but it's
just as well to be sure about these
things. There are so many wind-inills
around nov-a-days that one can't be
certain of nothing."
