EVA Clergyman, recently from the
South, tells the following story, as an ab,
Solute fact 1t gives new exposition
of an old text. 1t would seem that he
went one Sunday to hear an iIliterate
preacher, who was expatating ON the
passage which describes the triumphant
entry of Chdst into Jerusalem, during
which the multitude cast their garments
in the way. The preacher had somehow
or other taken uplhe idea that all this
was done with malicious intent. "Ah,
my friends!' said he them wicked Jews
wns determined to perwent the entrance
of our Saviour into Jerusalem! The,
threw their garmcuts in the way; the,
even went aud cut down trees and pu
ON in the road; they made all sorts ofop
position and hindrance, but blessed be
God! Mcy couldn't stop Mdt colt"

Major Noah, of The New York Sunday

of an extensive lucifer match manufac.
tory in that city. 1t covers FIVE lots of
ground, ou the corner of Thirteenth st.
and Second Avenue. The average num-
Der turned out daily is four hundred
gross, or about @r millions Of matches.
The machinery employed. is. in itself, a
sight worth seeing, The Major says:
"An eight horse mower steam engine

which cuts out blocks of the required

saws which make 100 revolutions per
minute divide the blocks into the reguir.
eo number of matches, turning out nu
less than 100000 per hour! "Clark' 5
matches"-a square split match which
is generally used-is made in a similar
way. Nor is I his all the work done by
the saws; the case in which these match
es are packed are also made by these IRE
volvers.' In short, the machinery does
the regular work in all the regular pro
cesses, manufacturing not only 100000
matches per hour. but 800 round mattel
boxes within the same period, to pu
them in. About 20 men are employed
on the first floor. ...
There are boxes to make which give
employment to 100 women at their owl
