Better and Much Cheaper Matches

Better and Much Cheaper Matches.
Mr.. Orange Judd gives the fol-
lowing advice on matches, in the
American Agriculturist for OctoS
Der:
The Best Matches.-In buying
matches, it is just as we'll to buy
only good ones, and thus compel
dealers to keep these only. Some
prefer the so-called 'parlor match
es,' on account of their odor, easy
ignition, and quick, large flame
But they are not to be rccommen-
ded for ordinary family use. They
are dangerous, liable TO burn the
fingers, to fly off upon clothing.
etc., if trod on. they will leave a
dark, permanent stain, If they do
not burn a spot in the carpet or
floor, and %perchancc start q dis
astrous fire. The brilliant flame
is nearly Il total waste of expensive
chlorate Of potash. as it is only the
quiet flame of the praiiine Oh the
stick, or of the stick itself, after
the igniting sulphur is burned off,
that is utilized. The large amount
of phosphorus fumes is quite as
unhealthful as the sui %hurcons
odors from the ordinary matches.
The safest matches are those
which will only ignite on tic pres
pared surface of the boxes i'll
which they come; but these are
too stationary for general The
s%ulphurouS fumes from matches are
not a serious OBJECTION. To the
ordinary atmosphere of q Don
they are dis%infccfant. and healtll>
full SO far rs the small quantity
from a match has any influence,
and, unless purposely or careless
ly held near ones face, they are
not injurious. The best matches
have the following qualities: The
stick is of good wood, not easily
broken, sufficiently resinous to
take fire readily, produce Il good
sized flame and hold it against
ordinary fair drafts. Test these
points in selecting matches by
testing two or three Of them. Fer
ordinary use they should be two
or three Inches long, or little
over, but longer for some lamps,
chandeliers, or other special uses:
round, smooth, one-tenth inch di-
ameter-ten laid together cover
ing an inch. The sulphur coating
should extend on the stick evenly
and for only half ;u iuch, so thin
as to be scarcely visible, not in
Jumps and masses, and 70 two
should stick together. The ignition
point is small, round, smooth, eX-
tending back uniformly, and less
than the diameter of the stick.
Color is non>essential, 4 matter OF
taste and preference.
