" Safety Matches"

A gentleman who had been employed
in the manufacture of safety matches ex-
pressed it as his opinion that they are the
most dangerous matches made. For, in
the majority Of cases, when match is
struck, some of the phosphorus on the
box flies off, and, being highly infam-
mable, if it meets with any combustible
substance, it always gives rise to dan
gerous fire. If lighted where the phos-
phorus can fall on the carpet, the result
is the same as though the carpet was ex-
posed to the sparks of fire. There is
also a certain degree of temptation
offered to those who manufacture these
matches. This consists in putting a
small quantity of phosphorus into the
heads to make them ignite more easily
when brought in contact with the phos-
phorus on the box. This fraud has ac-
tually been carried into effectin Northern
Germany, and although nothing Of the
kind has been discovered in this country,
the fact that it may be will probably in
crease their unpopularity. The safety
match has certainly had time to win its
way, as an old variety of it existed in
Switzerland at period when other parts
Of the world were still occupied with the
flint and steel. 1t has been claimed for
these matches that they are better able
to resist moisture than other varieties.
The reason, however, is not apparent, as
the heads are composed of salts, which
are affected by water in the manner of all
saline substances. 1t may be stated as a
general rule that those matches are safest
which require considerable friction for ig-
milton and which, when lighted, furnish
merely heat enough to kindle the splints.
The safest, probably, are those in which
considerable part of the compound is
formed of sulphur, as it requires more
than usual friction to light them. They
are also a quiet match, and in lighting do
not scatter any part Of the head about.
But they kindle slowly, and the sui
phurous fumes always render them OBJ
jectionable. They can also be lighted so
conveniently rubbing them on the wall
that great temptation is held out to ser
wants to disfgure the appearance of a
room in this way.-Popu!ar Science

Military BalloOning q Failure.

1t appears from a report of the result
of o series of experiments to determine
the utility of ballooning for reconnoiter-
ing purposes, recently carried on in Ger
many and extending over considerable
length of time, that, after repeated trials,
balloon was constructed that could be
packed up in a comparatively small space
and carried about without being dam
aged or rendered in any way unfit for i'm
mediate use. A second difficulty arose
providing portable apparatus capable OF
supplying sufficient quantity of gas for
the imitation of the balloon whenever and
wherever it might berequired to use this
latter. But this impediment was likewise
overcome, and an apparatus was designed
which could generate in from two to two
and half hours enough hydrogen to
raise balloon carrying three persons.
Unfortunately, however, there has been
found to be yet another obstacle in the
way of using balloons for reconnoitering
purposes, for which no remedy can as
yet be devised. From theheight to which
the balloons must ascend, useful obser.
vations can only be made by the aid OF
telescopes. The balloon must, however,
necessarily be "captive," that is, they
must be confined by rope and pre-
vented from drifting away, perhaps only
to fall into the hands of the enemy; ana
it is found that when there is the
slightest current of air such captive
balloon begins to rotate about its Verti.
cal axis, and this so rapidly as to prevent
observations being made with the neces-
sary accuracy and detail. Consequently
the conclusion has been arrived at that
captive balloons can not at present De
used for reconnoitering purposes, ana
that therefore the employment OF pal
looms in war must be limited to carrying
dispatches and information.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.-Kalgan
commands one of the passes through the
great wall of China. 1t is there built
of large stones cemented together with
mortar. 1t tapers toward the top, being
twenty-one feet high and twenty-eight
feet wide at the foundation. At the
most important points, less than a mile
apart, square towers are erected, built of
bricks. 1t winds over the crest of the
mountains, crossing the valley at right
angles, and blocking them with fortifca-
tions. The Chinese estimate its length to
be about eighty-three hundred miles
but in parts more remote from Peking
the wall is of very inferior construction.
There is nothing but dilapidated mud
rampant, as Col. Prejevalskr saw it on
the borders of Alr-shan and Kansu. 1t is
said to have been built upward of two
centuries before Christ, to protect the
empire against the inroads of the neigh
boring nomads; but the periodical erup.
tions of the barbarians were never checked
by the artificial barrier.

COLONIAL Relics.-There lies in the
Stone River, near Church Flat, four
stone anchors, which are supposed to
have been cast there when the British
first landed on Carolina SOIL These four
stone anchors are square, and weigh
about five hundred pounds each. An
iron is run through the stone and riveted
at the bottom, and at the top are fastened
iron rings for the purpose of making
them fast to vessel. On the stones are
cut the coat-of.arms of great Britain.
Those four stones are separated from each
other not more than twenty-five feet. A
gentleman from this city came across
them the other day, and made an effort to
raise one, but without effect, as it was too
deeply imbedded in mud.

fruit of personal exertion. 1t is not

necessary appendage to birth, wealth,
talents or station; but it is the result OF

TOMATO VINEGAR. Take one bushel oi
ripe tomatoes, mash them in an open tub,
add one quart of molasses, and thorough
ly mix the whole together. Let the tub
stand several days, frequently stirring
the mixture. When decided vinegar
odor is given off the juice should be
strained from the pOmace and put into
casks. Vinegar thus made is equal to the
best.
To PRESERVE CoRN.-Take good corn,
boil until the milk is killed; when cold
cut from the ear and put in stone jar
allow one pint of salt for three pints OF
corn; put in layer of salt and one OF
corn until the jar is full; when opened
for use remove the top; soak till fresh
then season as you would fresh corn; add
one tablespoonful of white sugar, and
cook in milk or cream.
CHILE SAUoE.-Two large onions,
twelve large ripe tomatoes, four green
peppers, two tablespoonfus salt, two Ia
blespoonfuls brown sugar, two table
spoonfuls ginger, one tablespoonful Gin
namon, one tablespoonful ground mus
tard, one nutmeg, grated, four cupfuls
vinegar. Chop peppers and onions fine,
peel tomatoes, and boil altogether until
done. If boiled too long it will be too
thick.
BREAKFAsT RELIsH.-Cut into small
pieces one-quarter of pound of cheese,
place in spider with small piece OF
butter; pour over it one cup of milk and
one egg well beaten season high with
salt and pepper.

Cucumber Pickles,

The pickles or small cucumbers should
be carefully assorted as they come from
the field, and all large ones salted by
themselves or thrown away. The large
ones need more salt; are harder to keep
and 10 prepare for sale, and sell for much
less. A cucumber that begins 20 grow
yellow, or Is too large tO count 100 to the
bushel, should not he salted at all. The
medium sized ones, counting about 800
to the bushel, are the sizes mostly wanted
As soon as assorted, they should be placed
in empty beef barrels or molasses hogs
heads and covered with brine; the brine
is made strong enough to float potato,
and the pickles are kept under by head
lifting the barrel loosely, and loaded with
one or two stones of about 20 pounds
weight each for a hogshead. The brine
suon becomes weak by absorbing the
fresh juice OF the pickles, and will need
to be drawn of and poured on again in
order, to thoroughly mix the stronger
brine at the bottom of the package with
the portion at the top, which is weaker.
This should be repeated two or three
times at intervals OF two or three days,
and if the brine is on large pickles few
handfuls of salt added each time. If
carefully kept under the brine and the
surface of the brine kept equally mixed
with what is below, there will be no
trouble in keeping them.
They are taken out of the brine several
days before wanted for sale, and placed
in fresh, cold water, which must be
changed as often as convenient-say two
or three times day-and after four or
five days they will be fresh enough to
receive the vinegar. The strongest of
white wine (whisky) vinegar is used, and
allspice and pepper added to taste. There
is no need of scalding either the pickles
or vinegar; if the latter is strong enough
they will keep. Cider vinegar is of un-
certain strength, and is often too weak
to keep pickles after warm weather be-
gins. If the vinegar is not strong enough,
scalding will do no good. Pickles thus
prepared are known as English pickles,
and have a dull yellowish- brown color,
impaired by the brine. The bright green
color often seen in the pickles in market
is impaired by scalding them, when taken
out Of the brine, in copper kettle; they
absorb enough verdigris from the kettle
to give them the desired color, and yet
so little that copper poisoning from eat
ing pickles is thing unknown. Still it
is one of the signs of increasing knowl-
edge of what is done in preparing our
food, and of care in rejecting anything
suspicious, that the green pickle, so uni
versally used few years since, is fast
becoming unpopular, and giving place to
the English pickle, prepared without
copper. Peppers, beans, caulifowers,
unripe melons, and martynias are pre-
pared in the same way as cucumbers.-

To GIRLs.-Be cheerful, but not gig
glers; be serious, but not dull; be com
municative, but not forward; be kind,
but not servle. Beware of silly, thought
less speeches; although you may forget
them, others will not. Remember Gods
eye is in every company. Beware Of
levity and familiarity with young men, a
modest reserve, without affection, is the
only safe path. Court and encourage con-
versationwith those who are truly serious
and conversable; do not 60 into valuable
company without endeavoring to improve
by the intercourse permitted to. Nothing
is more unbecoming when one part of a
company is engaged in profitable conver.
satiOn, than that another part should be
trifling, giggling, and talking compare
tive nonsense to each other.

The Author Of paul and Virginia. y

| suppose that this author gave great
deal more Of study and care To his book
on nature than he did to the little story
Of Paul and Virginia" Yet it was this
last-vhich was published some two
wears or more before the capture of the
Bastille- which gave him his great fame.
Where there was one reader for his
other books, there were twenty Paders
for Paul aud Virginia Ia those
fierce days when the Revolution WAS
ripening, and gigantic system of lord.
| ly privileges was breaking up and con-
suming away-like straw in fre-this
little tender, simple story, with its gushes
of sentiment aud its warm, tropical at
mosphere, was being thumbed in porter's
lodges, and was read in wine shops and
hidden under childrens pillows, and was
sought after by noble women-and wom-
en- who were not noble-and by priests
who slipped it into their pockets with
their books Of prayer. Even the hard,
tiinty- faced young officer of artillery, Ma
poleon Bonaparte, had read it with de-
light, and in after years greeted the au-
thor with the imperial demand-"When,
NJ. st. Pierre, will you give us another
Paul and Virginia." -
Do you not wonder, as you read it,
that so simple and slender a tale could
take any hold upon people who were en-
quilted in the terrors of that mad revolu-
tion2 ...
Why was it2 -... .r.r
Partly, l think, because the dainty and
tender tone of the story teller offered such
strange contrast to the fierce wrangle of
daily talk; partly also because, in the
breaking down of all the old society laws
and habits of living in France,it was re-
lief to catch sweet glimpse of the pro-
gress of an innocent life and innocent
love-albeit of children-under purely
natural influences.
1t is worth your reading, were it only
that you may see what tender and exag-
gerated sentiment was relished by this
strange people at time when they were
cutting off heads in the public square by
hundreds. -l.I H'a
1t is specially worth reading in its
French dress, for its choice, and simple,
and limpid language.-,st. Nicholas.
