Tn, Origin of Friction Matches.

In 1882, a man by the name OF
Phillips, living in Oakland, Manchester,
Connecticut, invented and patented a
match that would ignite by Fiction
He made, them upon small scale, as
his means were limited; put them in
tin boxes of one hundred each, and sold
them to the inhabitants about, carrying
them in a pocket handkerchief. Many
persons still recollect the fear and con-
sternation in the minds of the people at
that time, lest their houses and barns
would be burned by the hand ftbe in
cendiary; and many thought that he
should be restrained from scattering his
firebrands in the community. Phillips
afterwards removed to Springfield, Mas
sachusetts, where he formed copart-
nership with man by the name of
Chaplin, under the title of 'Chapin d
Phillips, where they largely in reased
the production Of matches. The first
matches were made and dipped singly
by hand; afterwards Phillips invented
the card matches. Such in brief is the
early history of this little article that is
now considered an indispensable neces-
sity. There must be many persons
now living in Hartford who will recol-
lect the red wagon, painted in large let
tiers upon the side, "Friction Matches" F"
as it passed through the streets drawn
by one horse.

There is a Miss Moore, the g akatofial
Queen" who has been creating quite an
excitement at one of the Philapelphia
Skating Parks, Crowds flock to see her
so that on Saturday afternoon the pro-
prietor' of the Park would not allow her
to appear on the ice, the weather being
SO mild that it was feared the number OF
spectators crowding to see Miss Moore
would break through. The Philadel-
phia Press claims that she is the best
known skater in the world. She has
appeared in two costumes of which we
give the description for the benefit of
the ladies': One of them consists of a
basque and skirt of purple velvet beaver
cloth trimmed with deep border Of
gray and white squirrel fur, above which
are three rows of silver trimming. She
wears hat made of the same material,
trimmed with fur, to correspond with
that of the dress, Her Polish costume
consists of basque of blue velvet,
and scarlet skirt trimmed with ermine
fur and gold lace, the entire dress being
spangled with gold stars. A hat of red
and blue velvet and white plume adorns
her head, while her feet are encased in
red kid boots. Both the costumes are
very rich and elegant. The skates she
uses aie the common ''rockers" made
of the best material ~

What Causes Sleep.

A curious and ingenious theory has
been propounded on the advantage of a
small percentagerof. carbenic acid in, the
air as 4 conduciye,to sleep. The seda-
tive nature Of this gas is web known, and
with most animals in state Of nature
sleep comes ou at the time when plants
commence to deyelope carbonic, acid
that is, at sunset; and it relaxes its hold
about sunrise, when plants begin to ex-
hale oxygen. Further, when man and
animals compose themselves to sleep,
they not only do so in the position which
gives the reatestrelaxationto the mus
cles, but they place the head so as to
favor the accumulation of that gas about
it, and consequentlyits inhalation. The
head of a man, when at rest, generally
lies low, on soft and depressed pillow
thosesof niostSquadrupeds .crouched bet
wen their paws, and those of birds nest
led among the feathers Of their backs or
wings; so that in all cases owing to the
low and confined position of the mouth
and nostrils, much Of the air must in
hailed again and again, and become grad
ually mixed with a larger proportion of
earbonic acib. The fact is also adduced
that the carniyoFa who are nocturnal in
their habits retire during the day to
deep and narrow caverns in which the
air, becoming yitiated by their respira-
ton, tends to promote sleep.
