The best bells are made by British bell makers, who are so skillful that they can cast a chime of bells which require practically no alteration after- ward. • As these bells weigh, anything from half a ton upward, and special 'moulds have to be made for each bell, this is e more wonderful feat than it sounds. • The moulds for the bells are made of bricks and loam that have been • thoroughly baked before the white hot rnetal Is poured into them. Dell metal, by the way, is made of four parts of copper and one of tin, and it was for the copper the bells contained that they were ruthlessly torn front their churches by the Ger- inane. In the earit days Most bells were made in the churchyard of the chetah in which they were to be hung, in order to avoid the great difficulty of transport. Nova however, they are made In special bell foundries. e Some a the bells now chiming have only.been hung with great difficulty on actomet of their huge weight, Big Ben, for example, weighs nearly four- teen tons, and Great Peter of York lalinstme nearly eleven tone. One of the 'mysteries that has pile - elect bell ,makers for years was how the great -bell In the bell tower at Pekin was ever hung. It was cast in 1415, and weighs 533 tens. It meas- ures fifteen feet in height, la tine Males thick, and has a circumference Of 43 feet at the rite. •To hang it howadaye would require the most up-to-date cranes, arid hoe it was hung hundredof years ago Is a 'mystery which has never been solved. In no other part of the world are belle hung as they are itt England. On the continent the bens theriaselves are stationary, and are struck by hand or machinery, but here the bell is swung to and fro until it is Struck by the clapper. --London Answers, • *.sir For the Housewife.

Private subseriptions failing, he virtually subscribed the $5,000,000 loan of 1814, He was a plutocrat In a poor country, To speak very modere ately, his 80,000,00 was mere com- parative than twenty times that sum would be to -day. We have not at hand the estitnatee of the wealth of the United States in 1830. The census reports and com- pendiums seem to begin with 18,60, nineteen years after Girard's death, In that year the estiraated value of that wealth was $7,1$5,180,000, The estimate for 1012: 'was $107,104,211,91,7, 'The wealth of the country was be- tween fourteen and fifteen times as much as it was ink 1850, and we regret not to know how many times more than it Was in 1830, the year before Girard's death. • The fortune absolutely owned by the late Colonel John Jacob Astor was some $51,000,000. The net value Was about $86,000000. The gross amount Is 48/X6,601.06. Judged by the growth of the wealth a the Milted Statesiece 1850 and remembering •that twenty years of growth are here fat out, a great pri- vate fortune of to -day should have been compared witb that of the f3or- deaux sea captains son, at least $126,- 000,000-, An things considered, the rise in prices, stendards of living, lux- uries, refinements, ants, it is safe to say that the $9,000,000 of 1821 would not be made good by leis than $180,- 000,000 in 1913.

Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia The Rat Problem. The suggestion has been made that the rat problem might be best solved by making use of the skins of the rodents for the purposes of leather. Somebody with the gift of guessing computes that there are 100,000,000 rats • in this country, and the damage they de would feet a good-sized army. It would take at least 5,000 skins a day to aupply a, small modern tannery. No- body wants the rats; they belong to anybody that can catch them. That Is •the only problem -to catch them and skint theta, and then deliver the goods. There la not enough leather to go around. Pish skins are suscept- iblfe of tanning, and there are rat skins whicla make good leather, large enoogh for many purposes.
