There is a difference between
q sneer and an argument. Some
people seem to think it not worth
while to regard truth when dealing
with an opponent. But truth and
fairness never hurt the side on which
they are used.

A manufacturing community, as
shown by the last census, invariably
attracts population and thrift. We
want in the South not only large fac.
tories for cotton, but we want small.
er enterprises for the making up
into fabrics of all the raw material
in which the South is SO rich. We
want wagon and plow factories,
leather and shoe factories, linsey,
blanket and carpet factories, and
all the minor industries which, while
requiring comparatively a small
amount of capital, add to the indie.
pendence and prosperity of the
country.

The following beautiful sentiment
we borrow from Cotton:
Emulation looks out for merit
that she may exalt herself by a vic.
tory; envy spies out blemishes that
she may lower another by a defeat,
and thus render victory easier for
herself.n
1t takes very small qualities of
mind and heart to see defects, but it
elevates us to even endeavor to ap.
preciate what there is good or CON-
mendable in others.

A Huge Bell for st. PauI's.

"Great Paul - the new bell for st. Paul's
Cathedral, London, Will take rank among
the six or eight heaviest bells in Europe.
At present her position cannot accurately
be assigned, as she has not yet passed the
scales; but it will probably lie between the
great bell of Olmutz weighing II tons Is
cwt. and that of Vienna, weighing II tons
IA cwt. DR.. Stainer, the organlst of st.
Paul's, says that ''when the tone was pro-
duced by swinging heavy ball of iron
against the soundbow musical note BOOM
ed out which was impressive beyond de-
scription.' The bell is feet 10 inches
high and feet 81 Iuches ID diameter, The
note isE fiat, the upper partials B 6at, E fiat
and 6 being just audible with the sonorous
ground tone. The cost of the bell and
hosting it into its place will be about
$4,000 and it has been decided to use it
for the first tune on Easter Sunday.

Natural wonder, OF orsrnn.

From Adam Duncan, who spends the
greater part of his time over on the Colum-
bia near Prest rapids, we cleaned some in
terestlng facts IN regard TO nature 8 won-
ders in that unsettled region. Ono of these
wonders is described as a sort of lake or
basin some four miles long and quite near
the rapids. When the Columbia Is at It's
highest this lake disappears In the ground,
leaving nothing In It's stead save q great
number Of wells, some of them being near
ly twenty feet IN width. The number of
these wells is estimated to be about 100.
Passing about among them they are found
TO contain waters OF different qualities and
colors, some of them being clear, cool and
agreeable to taste and filled with beautiful
speckled trout, while others are bitter and
black like those Stygian pools renowned
in ancient fable, over which the souls of
the damned were supposed TO pass on
their Journey TO the region OF torment.
AS the Columbia river begins to run low
in Its channel these wells gradually rise
until they overflow and form lake. or
the scientist, who Is supposed to have a
theory for all things; let us inquire
"Why is all thisi" By what sort of
sublerranean, syphonic, double back action
arrangement are these things brought
about Why should the water in the
wells rise when the water In the channel
OF the river recedes and why should
wells so close to each other contain waters
of such a different character? Another
natural wonder presents itself for solution
up in the neighborhood of Moses Cooler.
In the hottest part of the summer there is
a place where large icicles form and hang
like in mIdwinter from the tall rocks.
BY digging in among the stones or broken
shale large bodies OF Ice are found which
seem TO form there in midsummer. The
water flowing from among these broken
stones is about as cold as ice itself, but
where it comes from and why these icicles
form in midsummer, while none are TO be
seen there in the winter time, are more
conundrums. The rocky bluff slopes
gradually down from the north In such a
way as TO receive the suns rays In their
fullest force, and just back Of The bluff is
ii level country covered with bunch grass.

IOE upon the farm, and especially in the
dairy, is more and more becoming ne
cesslty. The saving in food, meat, et., hy
the use of ice alone should lead every far
mer to bli-d an ice house and fill il with
Ice during the winter. A house can be
bull that will supply family with one Of
the greatest Conveniences of the hot months
at tritling expense. Ii is wise economy
To build one that Is substantial, and will
last for long time. 1t has been carefully
estimated that under ordinary circumstan-
ces of harvesting the ice, anu with house
to hold from 20 to 25 tons, the ice can be
furnished for fifty cents a toR. At such a
low rate surely many farmers cannot afford
any longer TO deny themselves of ice dur

To no animal does the elephant appear
to have such an intense dislike as the dog,
and the result of this is that many hunters,
who look Tor profit and not sport, en-
ploy them constantly when engaged IN
shooting the lord of the forest. Dogs
destined for this purpose soon learn their
work, and enter into it with evldent en-
ioyment. One or two lessons are sufficient

accompanied by comrade that has had
experience. / was several times present
when they were employed by both Beers
and native hunters, and never was more
surprised than to witness the egregious
folly of an animal accredited as the most
sagacious OF Quadrupetls. When the trail
or spoor was discovered, the ours were set
loose, and eff they went upon the fresh
scent as rapidly as their legs could carry
them. Superior speed soon brought them
up with the foe, when barking, swapping,
and even biting, at once brought the
antagonist to bay. In this position the
poor beast would be surrouded, some
badgering and threatening him In front,
while others snapped at his heels. Again
he would single out one as the special
object of his wrath, fruitlessly pursue
hlm for twenty or thirty PAGES, of course
by such step leaving his rear open for
fresh indigrities. Again, the irritated
animal would fall on one knee, then on
another, as if IN anticipation of crushing
his diminutive toes under HIM. These
devices having failed. he would place his
head against a small tree, and bring all
his powers to bear against it, as if hoping
that IN its fall 1t would crush some of his
tormentors. While the giant Is being
thus assailed the hunter can, without the
least apprehension, approach within so
short a distance of the quarry as almost

shot.
