dust. Subsequently rough cobbls-stonees

A smaII.pox Patient at LARGO,

NEWARK, N. j., August 1O.-About
ten O'Clock to-day young man all bro
ken out with the small pox entered the
First precinct police station. He gave
his Eame as James NJ. Hughes, aged
twenty-four years. resident of Jefier-
sonville, Washington Territory, and a
railroad man. He said that he arrived
in this city last evening and feeling sick
resolved to seek the police station. Pc
lice Surgeon Read, who happened TO be
present, examined the man and declared
that he had a severe attack of smallpox
and that he required immediate atten-
tion, An afficer was detailed to take
Hughes to the Board OF Health Officer,
over Centre Market. Instead of receiy-
ing Hughes, Mr.. Mead, the Health In
spector, threw up both hands in horror
and ordered the officer and sick man
out of the building. Not knowing
what else TO do the officer brought
Hughes back to police headquarters, and
as the lock up contained dozen or more
prisoners, the man was led into public
alley-way adjoining the station house
and set down upon the cobble-st stones
with which the alley Is paved. At noon
time to-day he still lay stretched out In
the alley-way, with score or more of
children racing around and about him
and the sun beating down upon his
body.

The Time-euming Match.
From the Ottawa Free Press.

Mr.. Edward Prince, splint man nfac-
turer, OF Horseshoe Bay, Buckingham
township, IL authority for tho statement
that there are about twenty-five match
factories in the United States and Cana
de and that the daily produotion-and
conseq ueut daily consum ption-is about
twenty-five Thousand gross per day. 1t
may seem queer statement to make
that one hundred thousand hours of
each successive day are spent by the
people of the two countries in striking q
light, bat such IL undoubtedly the case.
In each gross of matches manufactured
there are 144 boxes, SO that the 5000
gross produces 5000, 900 boxes. Each
box, at least those made In the States,
whore duty Of one duty Of one cent
upon every box Of matchss Is levied
contains 100 matches,so that tho number
amounts to $50, 900 900. Counting that
1t takes second to light each match
and 1t ls Questionable whether 1t can be
done in less time than that, while some
men occupy several minutes sometimes
In trying to strike O light, particularly
when boozy-to light the 360, ,000, 600
would Just take that number OF seconds.
This gives G, 6,O00, 900 minutes, or 100 900
hours. In days of twenty-four houIs
each it figures up to 4.166 >, and gives
eleven years and Ave months, with o
couple OF days extra, as the time oceu-
pied during every twenty-four hours, by
the people OF North America-not tigur-
ing on the Mexioans-iu striking m atch-
es. Figuring little further IL gives 4 :
1859 years time In each year. The fact
may seem amazing, but it is undoubtedly
quite correct.
