Would it not be advisable, instead OF con.

which he says is the kind most approved OF
in parts Of Chester county, Pa. 4 slick &
feet long and from 30 TO 36 inches in diam
e'sr IS to be bored through with a ) inch
hole, then by placing blocks in each end
find the center of each hole and describe q
circle on each end Of the stick, as large as
it will admit, from which dress i: round and
smooth, and then with croS cut saw, saw
it in two, which gives you two pieces Of 3
feet each in lcngth;nexl prepare gooi piece

LUcI7Bp MArcHss.-Few persons afs
aware of the danger they incur by Keeping
Lucfer Matches, unless properly protected
by being enclosed IN an incombusibie box
or vessel. A circumstance strongly Illus
trative OF the hazardous nature Of those
articles occurred short time since in a
ware room in Baltimore street A few
dozen were put up in the usual riacaer,
and deposited o,, shelf IN the vicinity ef
other goods, aud few days oe'y had elaese
ed, when the peculiar odour en'iaed by the
match when burning, attracted attention.
On examination, box of them was found
to be iguited, and the only means of safety
was to get the whole lot out of tho preniG.
es. No apparsnt cause existed for tho
combustion, and hadit occurred few hours
!stcr, when the rooms would tiare been
closed for the night, the probability is that
III: whole interior of the store would have
been in flames ere discovered.
1t has not been many months since
large hardware establishment in this ci25
was endangered by the falling Of a box,
containing lew S!oss OF tieSe rnatches,
from the second TO the first floor of The
house. The effects of the fall ignited tho
contents of the boz, which had dropped
among them some straw used for packing:
and although prompt exertinns were used
by The spectators, it was with difficulty that
tie burning mass could be thrown from the
store, and the straw prevented from being
consumed.
The extensive use now made Of Lucifer
and other friction matches, renders great
care necessary-and the best protectioa
agains, the chances oftheir being accidcnt.
ly igni,ej, is 10 keep them in close tin boxes.
or other vessels which will prevent the
combustion from extending. With such
precaution many accidents, and The prob.
able loss Of thousands, may be avoided.

PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION.
ACEeu!er prepared by direction Of tho Charles
ton Bible Society.
CHARLESTON, May 1897.
Sr:-The Managers of the Charleston Bible
Society, have appointed the undersigned, CON-
mittee 10 prepare and send forth Circular, invi-
tirg the several Bible Societies in the State to
unite with thom by their delegates, in q Conven-
ton, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday tho 9th
December 1897.
The objects to bs secured by suoh q Cenven-
tion. are to ascertain what has been done in this
State for the last four or five years in giving
circulation TO the Bible; what facts may be COL
lected. which will throw light upon our yet re-
naming destitutions; whether it is e1pedient, on
gage simultaneously in 'resupplying the States.
with the Word of Life upon plan siWilar to
that which was agreed upon in Columbia, several
years ago; and if SO. by what means and by what
agencies the plan can be most fully and thor
oughly, end jcdiciously carried inte effect, SO
that our entire reading population, have free ac-
cess 10 copies Of the Holy Scriptures in their
own possession. And finally to deliberate upon
any other subject connected with tho diffusion
of the Bible, whether al home o. abroad, in
Christian or in heather lands.
The general fact is known, that districts Of
country, Whlcn nave Deen tnolougnly 6uppleo
one year have contained many destitute families
he next; and what is true Of ono district is true
Of all the rest, the came causes operate to Gre
ate the want. viz: the formation Of new fniliss,
he immigration OF ots,crs, and tho wearIny
he Bibles themselves In most cases where =
e.supply has been undertaken, after an interval
Of four or five years, the destitution has been
found full half as great Is at the period of tho
original supply. and in some cases greater, from
the causes already assigned. We alluds to this
fact because it was ono Of the principal motives
which induced the Managers of the Charleston
Bible Society to propose \ convention.
The Committee regard it as suPerduous to urge
the subject upon your consideration by any fur
ther rema,ks, as all the reasons for Convention,
which We could submit, must be familiar to year
mind. All that We have so solicit, is, that. ynu
would call the attention Of your society to tho
proposition, that should they deem it expedient,
delegates may DO appointed to represent your So.
cisty in theB Convention.
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, IN
name, and by the appointment of the Managers
Of the Charleston Bible Society ysur fellew Ia

On Tuesday. ut Powelten, was held the

Not less than three thousand persons atten-

Improvement among the bidders was very

ted things like this, as the real patrols of
the country, for they contribute greatly TO
its substantial improvement. Dean Swift,
ip his Gullive.'s Travels, a book rep'ete
with deep philosophy, though the superficial
merely laugh over it says, that man who
makes two blades Of grass grow whore on
