Making Matches.

With the aid Of the apparatus which
the Utica company has, two or three
men can turn out from 500 to Coz
gross Of sulphur matches per day
After the machinery has been set in
motion the first step is to place block
in the splint machine. With each
movement OF the knife q splints are
cut, and at the same time stuck be-
tween two stats in the belt. They are
then Carried by the movement of the
belt through the separator. and thence
over heated pipe, to dry the timber
sufficiently to allow the dipping mix
ture to penetrate. About ~ feet from
the starting point, the belt passes
under a couple of rollers, which press
il inst enough to bring the ends of the
splints in contact with melted sulphur
which is contained in pan or vat and
kept in a liquid state by the heat from
a small furnace sunk in the floor under
meath. a little further on the belt is
again depressed, and the tips Of the
spIints are drawn through a black mix
ture, which gives them the finishing
coat. From this point the matches
(they have by this time obtained that
dignity pass down the hall, still trav-
cling as hitherto, at the height of
about foot and half from the floor.
At a distance of 200 feet from the
starting point the belt takes an up
ward turn, and after ascending four
or i've feet, the matches begin their re-
turn trip. Passing with the belt over
the top Of the iron framework, at an
elevation Of about seven feet, they
come back over the splnt machine
enter the room where the other ma
chine is located, and are there knocked
out, the heads all pointing in the same
direction. rs they fall they are
caught by leather belt, which moves
slowly and carries them to table,
Where they are taken of by Il boy
placed in trays made for the purpose,
and taken to the packing room. The
belt completes Il circuit once in 30
minutes. and during the interval sew
cral thousand matches are finished.
The match produced is superior in
quality, and will light readily on being
drawn across the window glass. This
is claimed to he II crucial test, and in
eerior ones cannot be ignitcd in this
manner.
On arriving in the packing room the
matches are first placed in small paper
boxes, 100 in each box. The small
packages are then packed in paste
board boxes containing one.siXteenth
or one-eighth gross.

NousekeeperS' Nlcnsures.

A great deal Of poor food, especially
cakes and other receipt" preparations,
is due to inaccuracy in measuring
"a pinch" of sat or pepper or other
condiment may mean four i,times as
much in one hand as in another -
quite enough to entirely change the
quality and flavor. Teaspoons, tea.
cups and c0ffeecups now vary greatly
The old standard teacup held just half
pint, or four to the quart, and the
cOtfeecup three-quarters of pint, or
two and two-thirds cups to quart;
but on testing several cups now in
use we find that of one pattern of tea
cups three fill quart; of another it
takes five, and of another six; while
of colfeecups two of one set fill aquart,
and Of another it takes nearly four.
1t would be simple matter, and a
SLtNl iDll lOl ulll HOuSC-
keeper to keep always at hand accurate
measuring cups Of earthenware or tin
Let a teacupful or tumblerful always
mean exactly half pint, and keep Il
cup of that size. Or use a small tin
cup-one with q side handle being
preferable. spoon measuring is more
important, especially in giving medi-
cines, The top is so broad and it is so
difficult to know when spoon is even
ly full, that a "tea-spoonful dose" of
any medicine, or of a havoring extract
in cooking, may he double what is pre-
scribed. The standard teaspoon
evenly full, holds an eighth of fluid
ounce, or 12S to pint, and a standard
tablespoonful just three times as much,
or fOrty-two to u pint. Sixty drops of
water equal one tablespoonful, but

Tact and Beauty

y lady who had seen much of the
world was asked on one occasion why
plain girls often got married sooner
than handsome ones; to which she re-
Piled that it was owing mainly to the
tact Of the plain girls, and the vanity
and want Of tact on the part Of men.
How do you make that out?" asked
a gentleman. "In this way" answer
ed the lady. "The plain girls fatter
the men, and so please their vanity;
While the handsome ones wait to be
flattered by the men, who haven't the
tact to do it." There have been cases,
however, in which the situation pre-
sented here has been reversed, and
plain, and even ugly men, have sue
cecded in making themselves so agree
able to young ladies as to become their
accepted suitors Here is case in
point. When Sheridan first met his
second wife who was then a Miss
Ogle, years of dissipation had sadly
disigured his once handsome features
and only his brilliant eyes were left to
redeem a nose and cheeks too purple
in hue for beauty. What a fright"
exclaimed Miss Ogle, loud enough for
him to hear. Instead of being annoy
ed by the remark, Sheridan at once en-
gagged her in conversation, put forth
all his powers of fascination, and re-
solved to make her not only reverse
her opinion but actually fall in love
with him. At their second meeting
she thought him ugly, but certainly
fascinating. A week or two after.

The HarbOr Of st, John,

1t is interesting to sail down
into the harbor of st John. The tide
fall in the bay of Fundy is so great
some 70 or 50 feet at ST. John
that ice never forms here in winter.
This circumstance, added to the others,
serves to make st, John harbor one of
the finest imaginable. The great tide
fall gives curious effects when the
tide is out; the wharves look so high
above the water level, and the light
houses look SO gaunt and weird stand
ing upon mammoth spindle shanks, or
the lofty ribs of their foundation bar
ed to the cruel air, with tags of sea-
weed tluttering from their crevices
There are plenty of good marine "bits"
here. There is shipping of all ma
tons. The skeleton of ships in en-
bryo point numerous arms from the
