The tooutii Helping Itself.
Ifr. J. E. MaoOowan, editor of the
Cbaltanooga Times, in a reoent article
en “(southern Cotton Textiles,” shows
3* facts and figures the phenomenal
ranee of the booth in the manufac
ture of ootton goooe and demonstrates
that the Sooth ia steadily progressing
towards the mannfaotnre of the finest
grades of ootton. In 1890 there was
Mi a hleacbery in the Booth, and all
aottmi goods manufactured in this
section war# sent to the North to be
finished. There are now several
bleacher!** in the South, end Mr. Mao-
Oowan believe* that a year or two honoo
tho booth will have finishing capacity
sufficient for all tha goods man also
tnrodthoia
The fact that Sonthern mills exoel all
ethers in colored goods, ootton towel*
insr, cotton blankets, &c., is brought
out in Mr. article, ‘ibe
-most interesting part of his article is
that in which he ext>oses the fallacy of
•he general belief that the recent won
derful advance of cotton manufactur
ing in the South is duo to the advent
es Northern enterprise and the ifivo»t
moot of Northern cajntal Bo says:
“Rwiarth# largest pert of the new
mill* built since K-rateru spinners be
came actively interested in the South
ern ootton trade are Southern proper
ties, built with Southern money and
operated by Southern managers."

John’s Cantina ‘herah.
The largeat bell In Chicago Is that re
cently placed Id tha tower of tba
Church of St. John Canttus, at Carpen
ter street and Chicago avenue, It took
tho better port of three days to hoist
the big bell and two others Into tbs
tower. Sixteen men were employed in
the task, and a man from the foundry
at West Troy, N. Y., where the bell
was cast, superintended the Job. 1
Six thousand five hundred pounds Is
the weight of the big bell, and with It
came two others, weighingll,3oo pounds
and 2,400 pounds respectively. The big
bell Is the largest In Chicago. It mens
urea sixty-six Inches across Its mouth
and Its height la fifty Inches. Resting
on the supports from which It swings,
when ringing ont a summons to attend
mass or tolling the death of a parish
ioner, the bell towers to more thaa
twice the height of a m*a.
' Tba big bells ware cast la Went Troy,
N. Y, where moat of the large bells
for churches are made. The work of .
casting It was a very tedious process, (
for great care must be used In casting
a bell, as tbe slightest mistake will
ruin Its tone. Seventy-seven per cent
of copper and 211 per cent, of tin form
ed the alloy which waa first made nnd
then melted Into 12‘podnd Ingots.
These In turn were melted iu three re
verb* tory furnaces. A giant mold was
made, consisting of a core and n cope,
tbe latter fitting over the former tear
ing a apace between In the shape of a
bell. The outside of the core end tbe
Inside of the cope were lined wltb clay
hardened by firing. Tbe mold waa

down In a pit and the Iron sheeting
used Inside the core and outside the
cope waa a half Inch thick at the top
and two inches thick at the bottom,
thus preventing the danger of explo
sion, such as was formerly common
when casting a bell.
Streams from the furnace* poured
Into the mold and the bdl was cast
and ready to be shipped to Chicago
The Mualler bells were made in much
the same way, but special molds were
not necessary, as tbe foundry makes a
great many bells of their slxe.
The bells were received la Chicago
and were placed on exhibition on a
platform Is front of the church, where
they were viewed by the thousan<la
who comprise tbe densely populated
parish of St John’s Cantina. Then
they were consecrated, tbe priest of
tbe diocese. Rev. Father John Kite
prxyckl, being assisted by \ fifteen
priests and representatives of more
than sixty Polish societies. It ta esti
mated that 10,000 persons were pres
ent at tha service.

In tbe Edinburgh Weekly Magazine of

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Whs* te Sewers *C Hot Water.
Do not put hot water or any kind a
water upon woolens that have had
liquid grease spilled upon them. First
sprinkle bnekwheat or rye flour over
tho place and let it absorb tha grease,
brush off tho flour, aid apply then
fresh flour until nil the grease is ab
sorbed.
Begs T«r Silverware.
In making bags or eases for silver
wars an unoleaobed material should
be employed. Sulphur is generally
used in the bleaching prooeseea and it
tends to blooken and tarnish silver.
Bobber iu any form Is another thing
that should never be kept near silver,
wsre. Silver is best wrapped in blue
white or pink soft tissue paper, and
unbioaahed ootton or flannel bags.
To Steam Velvet.
To remove creates from velvet ia
quite easy when one knows the seorei.
Take a very hot iron, psrferably one
with a removable handle, and set it on
stable wtyh the smoothingsnrlhoe up.
W ing oat in cold water a double
thickness of soft muslin and the pile
will rise gradually as the steam pene
trates its material. This treatment
is also useful to give a new sad freak
appearance to elightly worn velvet,

Ia every kitohen there should be two
brooms of different sixes, kept perfect

them over the sink to drain aad dry.
Once or twice a week they should bo
