.HO,C Matches are Made.

Large planks are cut up1nto
blocks, double the length of
the match, and put one at a
time upon the cutting machine.
Two large knives, converging
at the points, areJdriven back
and forth upon the block, and
numerous little flamps, beneath,
wide enough apart to allow
one match between, are press
edup, each taking off a match
at every passage of the knives,
at the rate of sixty a nlinhte.
The particles are packed in
square frames and placed in a
kiln dryer over the furnace,
where they remain twenty-four
hours. They are then taken
out and by means or curious
machines are coiled upon an
ordinary cotton band. On
each coil there is a gross, or
14,400 matches, and the band
is between each layer TAicu-
rious arrangement Of the, ma.
chine Is that it will coil moth.
ing but a perfect match, and
throw the defective ones aside.
The coiling is slow, and one
man can tend Ave machines,
which will ordinarily coil about
a hundred and fifty gross per
day. After the coil is made
up, the ends are 1planed down
even and put upon a hot iron,
which opens the pores Of the
wood. Both ends are then
dipped into melted birthstone,
into q composition OF phospho.
rus, glue and other materials,
and hung up on racks for ten
minutes, at the end of which
they are dry. The coils are
then unrolled, the matches put
in the square frame, cut in
two in the middle, boxed
land packed aeady for shipment.
The boxing is mostly done by
boys and girls, and Che smell o.
the birthstone Is said to effect
their health somewhat. - ,o;

The peculiar charm and real
worth of woman does not con-

perior accomplishments, nor
ever in that which is above all
other female embellishments, is
most sought after-personal
beauty. Her stately form may
he cast in the mould of perfec.
ton, her gentle eyes may seem
to win their soft coloring from
the azure heavens; her full lips
may be of rosy dye, her sable
tresses may linger seemingly
on a neck Of pearls, or sparkle
in the sunbeam like threads Of
wayering gold; but what is
beauty without virtue? 1t is
indeed a rose without fragrance,
an apparition without sub
stance.

true merit, may win many ad.
mirers for her; but such adni-
ration will he as transient as

answer the wishes of her heart,
they will not render her happy.
Virtue is the original and
the originator, and grand arch
Ietype of happiness, the very
nucleus Of everything that is
lovely in woman, With it she
needs no outward pomp. Her
very couptenance is full of
majesty, In her there is some
thing commanding, SO subduing
that even villains respect her,

The Missouri RtUer.

u Since the discovery of the
Missouri River, the most inco,
herent ideas have prevailed as
to the distance between the sew
eral stopping places along its
winding channel. From the
surveys recently made official
table Of distances from the
mouth of the Missouri to Sioux
City has been combiled and
published. The old tables, it
appears, lose considerably when
compared with the results of
scientific exploration, and the
vague estimates of the river pi-
lots are shown to be very far
from the truth. Thus Sioux
City is only S49 miles from the
mouth of the Missouri, Instead
off1939 miles, as it. was former.
ly believed; Omaha, csc miles
instead of 1885, st. Joseph, sol
miles instead Of 566; Browns

Leavenworth, 438 instead Of
45S. On the other hand, Au.
gusta 81 miles from the mouth,
Washington, S9.miles, Herman,
lis miles and Portland, 1876
miles, are further distant than
they We're supposed to be. II

Goose Race in Chicago.

A few days since, about as
many people turned out to see
a goose race, as did some time
since to see Weston come into
that village of magnitude
Three sporting chape, George
Morris, Bob Hart, Jim Mas,
for a purse of two hundred
dollars, drove each six goose
team, in the water of the basin,
a distance of three hundred
yards, each team drawing a
wash tub in which sat the dri-
yer. From all accounts, there
was lots of fun. Thousands
and thousands Of spectators
lined the banks and filled the
boats lining the race-course.-
At a given signal the three
teams of six geese each started,
drawing their respective loads,
the drivers guiding by long
carriage.whips, tapping their
haulers lightly on the head to
make them haw, geel or 60
straight ahead, as the case
might be. At times a balky
goose would change ends, get
ting herghead where her tail
ought to be, and tn tn thsay
something to the driver, retard-
ing the progress of the craft
meanwhile, Once in a while
an unruly customer would stick
her or his head under the water;
then all would paddle ahead, as
iffor dear life; then one would
take tangent to the right, an
other to the left, and so it went.
The race was won by George
Morris, whose gray goose team
reached the end Of the three
hundred yards about four feet
ahead of the Others, time seven
minutes and thirty seconds
Rob Hart being second. The
following is the record of the
race:
