Out Of a total area of nearly 2l,0o0,-
600 acres the woods of ireland are
now less than 35O,OOO acres. In Great
Britain out of nearly 57,0OO,0o0 acres
there are 2,500,000 acres of forests.
Those of Europe are estimated to cover
50O,O0OOOO, or nearly twenty per cent.
Of the surface Of the continent In
the United States about 6O,00o.000 Of
the 2,306,3SOOOQ acres are in the

Cost of Matches.

IL 6 A erlcan people paid S27.000,000

There are 50,000,000 of people in this
country; they use on an average five
matches each per day; that is 250,0O0-
600 matches per day, or 2,500,000
boxes of 100 matches in a box, every
day. Last year these boxes retailed at
an average of three cents eachss max

three-forths of all these matches were
supplied by one company. If they

of it they didn't make a cent"
The harvest day of the match mo-
nopoly is now at an end, as they no
longer have government revenue tax
levied for their benefit. But they
still control the trade. on account of
their superior manufacturing facilities,
capital, etc. They own thousands of
acres of timber land in Michigan, and
their lumber is cut by their own men
and shipped on their own boats. And
then they have contracted for nearly
all the worlds supply OF phosphorus
years ahead, and the new manufactur-
ers starting into the business find
themselves overmatched in every wav

control the trade, and make a fair
profit on its investments. They con-
troll twenty-five factories, and one of
them has a capacity of $4,000 Of

in all conscience, but drunkenness is
not one. He feels the ruddy glow

buildings that Resist Earthquakes.

The volcanic eruptions in Java, the
earthquakes in Ischia, and our own
western tornadoes, have probably
caused much more destruction of life
and property than they would have
caused if buildings had been specially
adapted to resist them. In Japan,
where shocks of earthquakes are fre-
quent, contemporary says it is not
usual to dig foundations for any
building, no matter how large or i'm
portant it may be. Rocks slightly
rounded at the top are placed where
the corners Of the houses are to be.
The corner posts, rounded at the end,
rest on these. The timbers are all
pinned together, not nailed, so as to
allow of considerable movement with
out coming apart. In the central por-
tions of the building the timbers are
particularly heavy, and act as ballast
In high towers there are sometimes
huge beams swung from the roof and
reaching to within foot of the
ground, which prevent the building
from being overturned either by
earthquake or storm. The Oldest
building in Japan, the Treasury at
Nara. is built in this manner, with
out the swinging beam, but with a
very heavy ballast in the framework
Of the ceiling of the floor. A wen
known artist is the inventor OF a
painting hut which is constructed IN
part on the same principle. 1t rests
on stones at the corners, the timbers
are keyed together, and it carries +"
heavy ballast under the floor. 1t ls'

EtHOtss
Oltimes when evens scarlet flag
Floats from the crest Of distant woods
And over noorland waste and erlg
A weary, voiceless sorrow broodsi
Around me hover to and fro
The ghosts of songs heard long ago
And often midst the rush Of wheeis,
Ofpassing and repassing feet,
When half "a hcadlong city reels =
Triumphant down the noontide street.
Above the tumult of the throngs
] hear again the same old songs.
Rest and unrcst-'tis strange that Ts
Who lie apart as pole from pole,
Should sway with one strange sovereign
The secret issue Of the soul
Strange that ye both should hold the -
Ofprisoned tender memories.
IL may be when the landscapes rm
lsred and slumberous round the west,
The spirit too grows still a ID dim,
And turns in half-unconscious quest
10 those forgotten lullabies
That whiom closed the infants eyes.
And maybe, when the city mart
Roars with its fullest, loudest tide,
The spirit loses helm and chart,
And ON an instant, terrified,
Has fled across the space Of years
To noes that banished childhood's fears.
We know not-but It's sweet to know
Dead hours still haunt the living day,
And sweet to hope that when the slow
Sure message beckons us awey,
The past may send some tuneiul breath
To echo round the bed OF death.

1,74l astronomers from ancient to
modern times showed them to average
sixty-four years and three months. 1t
may be that this unusual longevity
astronomers owe to the necessary quiet

is spent their remoteness from the

The Mysteries of Dress.

The mysteries of dress seem to be an
exceedingly attractive theme, if we may
judge by the number of letters which
have been received on the subject.
Among others, can Old Sailor" send s
the following vigorous protest: "Has it
occurred to your readers that there is
any improperly, not to say indelicacy,
in discussing the, arrangement of
women S pettlcoats in the public press?
In the days of my youth we were taught
to regard woman's dress as sacred
mystery; and so it ought to be to the
opposite sex, For Heavens sake, sir.
let them wear as many or as few petit
coats as they please, and let them be of
whatever shape and texture suits their
fancy aud convenience; let them hang
them to their shoulders or their waists,
whichever they find the most comfort
able. and let them do so with strings,
suspenders, buttons, hooks and eyes. or
paste and sealingwax if they like it
but IN the name of modesty, let them
do 1t in private in their own rooms, and
not in public. We do not want
to know how their lower rigging is
placed and set up: that surely is their
OWN puS1ueSSi ana Jne discussion OF IL
by men in the public press is disrespect-
full and impairment This, sir, is the
opinion of one who has profound re-
spect for the ladies, and who neither
wishes to see their petticoats dragged
through the mud or triced up higher
than our mothers wore theirs; but who
thinks that they are quite capable of
looking after their own business and
dressing themselves without assistance
from us. ~ En-.
