Matches.

At Jonkoping, Sweden, is the
largest match factory in the world.
One bundled years ago it was es-
tablished, and there are now to be
seen specimens of the matches used
at the beginning of the present cen
tury, consisting ofbig fagots of wood
furnished with handle and tip to
dip in abath of sulphur Thewood
from which the present kind of
matches is made is taken from the
adjacent forests, which are divided
into fifty sections. Every year one
section is cut and then replanted
with young trees. The trees are
hewn into planks in the forest and
cut into slivers in the factory. The
boxes are made of heoutside of the
tress. The factories are on the banks
of lakes which are connected with
one another by wide canals.
Millions of matches are turned out
every day. Some idea of where they
all go to may be obtained from the
statement that they are at least two
hundred and eighty million of
matches burned each day in the
United States, or an average of five
matches for each person.

tyr to the fallibility ofhuman justice
was made public by the confession
Of the guilty man. Another crimi-
nal trial took place at the assizes.
The landlord of an inn was found
guilty of having stolen the property
of a person staying at his house. 1t
was stated in evidence that this was
not his first offence. He had been
habitually robber on the highway
and his name was Brunell.
The wretch confessed that he was
the masked highwayman who had
stolen the bag of guineas. Riding
by a nearer way than was known to
the traveller he had reached the inn
first. There he found a person in
trade waiting by appointment for
the settlement of bill. Not having
enough money of his own about him
to pay the whole amount, Brunell
had made use of one of the stolen
guineas, and had only heard the
traveller declare that his money was
marked after the tradesman had left
the house. To ask for the return of
the fatal guinea was more than he
dared to attempt. But one other al
tentative presented itself The mer-
ciless william insured his own safety
by the sacrifice of an innocent man.
After the time when the sea cap
tain had paid his visit at Mrs. An
derkin's house, Esther's position be-
came subject to certain changes.
One little domestic privilege follow
ed another, so gradually and so mo-
dgstly that the house-keeper found
herself a loved and honored member
of the family, without being able to
see what succession OF events she had
risen to the new place that she had
occupied. The secret confded to
the two ladies had been strictly pre-
served Esther never even suspect
ed that they knew the deplorable
story of her lovers death. Her life,
after what she had suffered, was not
prolonged to great age. She died
peacefully unconscious of the ter
ror of death. Her last words were
spoken with a smile. She looked at
the loving friends assembled round
her bed and said to them, "My dear
one is waiting for me. Goodbye"

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms of weak state
of the gastric organs is disturbance of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
yigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is far pre-
ferable to mineral sedatives and power
ful narcotics, which, though they may
for time exert a soporific influence up
on the brain, soon cease to act, and in
variably injure the tone of the stomach
The Bitters, ON the contrary, restore ac.
tivity to the operations Of that all impor.
tant organ, and their benehcent influence
is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil
state ofthe nervous system. a whole.
some impetus is likewise given to the ac.
! ton of the liver and bowels by its use.

Holding Fast to Money.

A young man evidently from a
part of the country where the shrek
of the railroad engine had never
been heard, called on a county clerk
in Arkansaw the other day, and in a
business way asked, "Fell any yit?'
"What ?"
Marriage license fell any yit?"
"No; same price"
"Well 1 come in the other day,
an er fellow told me they mought

No they are the same price"
"I'm mighty sorry Nv that, fur

she declares she amt goin' to wait
on me no longer, but wouln't give
three dollars for no set of license

hard to give her up, but reckon

for your license"
"Much obleeged, cap'n. Jist write
'em out, an I'll go down an break
the good news to Susan. It'll tick

she hears my good luck"
The license was issued, and the
young fellow hurried to the wagon
yard, where Susan was stopping,
and escorted her to the Office of a
justice of the peace.
"Cap'n, what'll you charge to
marry us?"
The magistrate told him, and,
shaking his head, he mumbled,-
"Kain't efford so much these hard
times"
"Nobody will perform the cere-
mony any cheaper for you"
"Wall, then, Susan, you'd better

AlIigatOrs as Pets.

Alligators as pets are getting to be
more and more the thing, and the trade
in these queer reptiles has grown to be
quite an important industry among North
William street dealers in geological
cur;os. When the young alligators are
born in Southern swamps in the spring
the natives go and gather them in. The
warm months find them in New York,
where an alligator eight inches long and
probably five months old may be pur-
chased-if you 90 to the proper place
for from 81 to 50.
The increased demand began about
two years ago The Worlds Fair in New
Orleans taught Northern visitors to the
French quarters to look with kindly eyes
upon the lizard s big brother. There is
a little old bird store in the Rue Royale
where they were sold by dozens at fifty
and seventy-five cents each, and a neat
little box furnished, so that the pets
could be carried away. OF course, some
of them came to New York and aroused
the interest of that growing class of peo-
pie who are always on the lookout for
something new to caress or to talk about.
The inevitable result was a brisk trade
in infant amphibians by the William
street folk.
A Lexington avenue girl enjoys pat
ting the expansive brow OF fourteen
inch alligator that is over two years old.
She has silver collar around its throat
and a chain attached to it, and the we'll
bred saurian follows her like pet dog.
The baby alligator is usually kept in a
large globe aquarium with gravel bank
rising out of the water on which it rests.
Its food is raw meat, and it requires
only small quantity. One meal every
two days is enough. 1t develops slowly
and is very easily tamed.-NeD KorA

The Snrlnr Chlcken of History.

Few people have any idea of the lon
gevity of that noble, although hysterf
icky, domestic fowl, the common hen o.
commerce. BY late agricultural paper
we see that hen, residing with farmer
near Macon, Mo-, seized a rat by the
back, carried him to tub of water,
dropped him into it with revengeful
cluck" and thus saved her brood from
further depredations. Now, when in
boyhood's happy days we read the ''Boys'
Own Book of Natural History" this ven
erable hen, at that time residing on an
English farm, was spending most of her
time dropping that same predatory rat
into the tub of water with the same old
''revengeful cluck.n And now she is at
it again away out in far away Missouri,
where they call us to deliver their land
from errors chain. Fifty years is a good
ripe age for brood hen, but we do not
look to see her pass away in this genera
ton. No. So long as there is a rat alive
in this world of suffering and wrong, so
long will that noble old hen continue to
pick him up and drop him into tub of
water with revengeful cluck." Hens,
unreal mockery, hens We begin to fear
that the hen of our boyhood was perhaps
only feeble imitation of the real hen
of to day. B1irdette.

WISE WORDS.

Actions outweigh professions.
He must be blind indeed who cannot
see through sieve.
A clear head and n clear conscience are
the attributes of victory.
1t is good thing to learn caution by
the misfortune of others.
Love of reading enables man to
exchange the wearsome hours of life,
which come to every one, for hours of
delight.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
train up child in the way he should
go; all you have to do is to go that way
yourself.
Remember that servants are made of
the same material as you are; little
coarser-grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Regrets, toward the evening of life,
will occur to nearly all, even the happiest /;
we mourn the departure of the luminary,
though his setting be glorious.
He is the greatest man who chooses
the right with invincibe resolution, who
bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully,
and whose reliance on truth and virtue
is the most unfaltering.
The glory of man consists not in look
ing up to what is above him, but in lift
ing up what is below him. The noblest
and most exalted character is also the
tenderest and most hopeful.
He who is truly brave will not only
spring to encounter outward obstacles
and to do daring deeds he will also be
bold in attacking wrong and misery
whenever they appear, and strong in
resisting his own desires and impulses
whenever they conflict with a higher
| law.
As the magnificent river, rolling in the
pride of its mighty waters, owes its
greatness to the hidden springs of the
mountain nook, so does the wide-sweep-
ing influence of distinguished men date
its origin from hours of privacy resolutely
employed in efforts after self-develop.

There are various ways of Judging a
watermelon. Those who have to handle
them are educated by experience to
know ripe melon on sight, but if the
skin breaks crisply when cut into with
the thumb nail, or a peculiar hollow
sound is emitted when tapped with the
knuckle, or if the meat is heard to break
with a brittle sound when the fruit Is
squeezed, the melon is generally ripe.
The 'scalY bark does not respond kindly
to the squeezing or rapping test, as a
two-hundred-pound man might sit upon
one without crushing the meat; yet when
cut the melon might prove a prime one
by its dark red meat and black seed.
"The general tendency in improving
the melon is to get round fruit and thin
rinds, thus obtaining a greater amount
of meat in the space handled and obyi-

HEALTH HINTS.

A standing antidote for poison by pol
son-oal1, ivy, etc., is to take a handful of
quicklime, dissolve in water, let it stand
half an hour, then paint the parts with
it. Three or four apphcations,it it is said,
will cure the most aggravated cases.
The highly injurious caustic effect of
lime accidently introduced into the eye,
as frequently occurs to those engaged in
building, may be entirely neutralized by
the use of cold sugar water, owing to
the formation of a compound of the lime
and sugar, which is without any action
upon the eye.
Biting the nails is a custom founded
on the superstition that child whose
nails were cut before it was year old
would be a thief. 1t was found neces-
sary to get rid of the nail hence they
were bitten Off A singularly stupid
custom surely. Continue to cut the nails
whenever they are too long. They will,
of course, grow, and they will naturally
become harder 1t is proper that they
should be so.
If the feet are tender and painful after
long standing or walking, great relief
may be obtained by bathing them in
warm salt and water. A large handful
of salt to a gallon of water as warm as
can be borne is the proper proportion.
The feet should be immersed and the
water thrown over them with the hand,
and also over the legs as far as the knees,
When the water becomes too cool, dry
the feet and legs, rubbing with rough
towel upward. Neuralgia of the feet
has been cured by perseverance in this
method night and morning.

An Electric Mountain.

A very peculiar property has recently
been discovered in the rock of noun
tain seven miles from the town of Santa
Cruz. This rock is heavily charged with
electricity and when applied to battery
was found to produce strong electric
currents. A small handful of this rock
applied in battery generated sufficient
electric force to operate the battery for
three weeks and appeared not to be the
least exhausted of its powers. This rock
has very much the appearance of ordinary
soapstone and exists in immense quantl-
ties, constituting the principal mass of
the mountain. Its strange property was
accidently discovered by man who was
experimenting with mineral water on the
mountain, and having occasion to use
some of this rock, placed it in contact
with the battery. The man who made
this wonderful discovery kept it a pro-
found secret from the world until he and
or two of his confidential friends had
obtained a title to the portion of the
land, paying SO, 600 therefor. The pres.
ent owners are now experimenting with
this rock, with view to thoroughly
testing its properties The result of such
investigation we can only surmise, but
are very anxious to learn IulGre Free
