Starting a Fire.

A recent writer about men and things,
in Siberia, says; Civilized people imagine
matches necessary to their comfort. Not
so with the Yakut. To start a fire dry
piece of wood is procured, many sticks cut
and rejected, until one entirely free. from
moisture is found The best of the drift
wood is split up and chopped into proper
lengths, and here without rags, cotton, flax
or sulphur is where the Yakut ingenuity
asserts itself The buds of the arctic will
low are forever trying to peep from their
blankets of snow. Within these buds is a
light, hossy texture in the nature of thistle
down. The native moistens this down
slightly and mixes it with ground charcoal,
prepared by cooling lighted piece of birch
in the ashes of his hearth. The floss thor
oughly rolled through the charcoal is dried
before the fire, becoming an excellent tin
der, igniting very quickly into hot and
durable point of fire.
A bundle of fine, soft sticks is always
kept drying before the fire, which the old
women, in preparation for natives jour
ney, take down and shape into sword
blades, which are then with sharp knife
shaved into long, thin shavings not unlike
the American stuff known to upholsterers
as 0excelsior," about as large as a robins
nest, punches hole in it, and then lays it
carefully on the snow. Next taking a
pinch of tinder from the bag, which always
hangs at his hip, he places it on his flint,
and with quick, sharp stroke ignites and
incloses it in the centre of his nest of shaw
ings, which he then lifts up, holding it
lightly, with his fingers spread apart for
the passage of air, and whirls rapidly around
his head at arms length.
At first faint, pleasant ordor of burn
ing birch steals upon the air, then a light
streak of smoke follows the revolving arm,
and when the heat within his hand notifies
the native that proper degree of attrition
has been attained he suddenly ceases his
gyrations, tears open the smoking nest, and
with quick puff blows it into fame Then
depositing the blazing ball in the snow he
soon piles his fagots over and around it, and
in very few seconds his fire is in full
blast. | have watched this operation a
hundred times and have never seen it fail,
When / tender matches they invariably re-
fuse them, because the shavings SO lighted,
burn inwardly and give off but little heat,
whereas by the Yakut treatment they are
almos. Instantly glowing mass, never
missing fire.

Rough Handling of Children.

The cause of joint diseases in childhood
are frequently obscure; but this much is
certain, that the rough handling which
children receive at the hands of ignorant
parents or careless nurses has much to do
with the matter. Stand on any street cor
ner and notice how children are handled.
Here comes lady with three-year-old
girl; she is walking twice as fast as she
should and the child is over exerting itself
to keep pace; every time the child lags the
mother gives it sudden and unexpected
lurch, which is enough to throw its shoulder
out, to say nothing Of bruising the delicate
structures of the joints; gutteris reached;
instead of giving the little toddler time to
get over in its own way or properly lifting
it, the mother raises it from the ground by
one hand, its whole weight depending from
one upper extremity, and with spring
which twists the child's body as far around
as the joints will permit, it is landed, after
a course of four or five feet through the
air, on the other side.
Here is a girl twelve years old with a
baby of one year in her arms. The baby
sits on the girls arm without support to its
back. This would be hard enough posi-
ton to maintain were the girl standing still,
but she is walking rapidly and the little
one has to gather the entire strength of itS
muscular system to adapt itself to the
changing basis of support, to say nothing
of adjusting its little body to sudden leaps
and darts on the part of its wayward nurse
Sometimes during a sudden advance you
will see part of the babe foot in advance
of its head and trunk, which have to be
brought up by powerful aud sudden ac
ton of the muscles of the trunk and neck.
Probably not one child in one hundred is
properly handled. Lancet.

Learn to Unite Strings.

One story of the eccentric Stephen Girard
SAYS that he once tested the quality of a
boy who applied for situation by giving
him match loaded at both ends and or
dering him to light it. Theboy struck the
match, and after it had burned half its
length, threw it away. Girard dismissed
him because he did not save the other end
for future use The boys failure to notice
that the match was double ended one
was natural enough, considering how
matches are generally made; but haste and
heedlessness Ca habit of careless observa-
tion) are responsible for greater part OF
the waste of property in the world.
Said one of the most successful mer-
chants Of Cleveland, Ohio, to lad who
was opening parcel: "Young man, unite
the strings; do not cut them.
1t was the first remark that he had
made to a new eniploye. 1t was the first
lesson the lad had to learn, and it involved
the principles of success or failure in his
business career Pointing to a well dress
ed man behind the counter, he said;
''There is man who always whips out
his scissors and cuts the strings of the
package in three or four places He is
good salesman, but he will never be any
thing more. / presume he lives from
hand to mouth, and is more or less in debt
The trouble with him is that he was never
taught to save.
II told the boy just now to unite the
strings, not so much for the value Of the
string as to teach him that everything is to
be saved and nothing wasted"

Antiquity of Bridges.

The first bridges were of wood, and the
earliest of which we have any account was
built in Rome 500 years B. c. The next
was erected by julius Caesar for the pas
sage of his army across the Rine. Ira
JAMS great bridge over the Danube, 4770
feet long, was made of timber, with stone
piers. The Romans also built the first
stone bridge, which crossed the Tiber.
Suspension bridges are of remote origin.
A Chinese one mentioned by Kirshen was
made of chains supporting railway, $50
feet in length, was built A. D. 60, and is
still to be seen. The first large iron bridge
was erected over the Severn in 1777.
The age of railways has brought remark
able development in this branch of engi-
neering, especially in the construction Of
bridges of iron and steel.

Horse Fair in Ireland.

To novice an Irish fair appears to be
pandemonium let loose The main street
is the showground and ride, and conve-
nient field, with a stone wall or two, serves
the purpose of the "manege." Such
whooping and yelling Droves of wild
young colts, rough, unkept looking animals
rushing madly about, with Pat riding bare
backed as easy as a glove, with nothing but
a ''bit of twig" and halter for bride.
Every conceivable class of auimal is here.
both biped and quadruped. The hunter
which, if properly got up, will fetch in
England couple of hundred, Is side by
side with screw not worth as many pence,
and the autocrat of the dealers yard may
be seen in close confabulation with what
looks like prime dynamiter; while above
all the din and jangle floats an aroma of
whisky and tobacco, to say nothing of blar
ney and bad language.
But what is going on in the corner of
the wall? A small crowd is gathered
there, and from your position you can just
make out one of the men who crossed in
the boat, standing opposite true son of
EIlu Ill Oue mluuic vi oulih Ilns5j anu
seemingly either fighting or endeavoriug to
shake him by the hand-which? You
can not quite make out. Presently the
crowd breaks up with cheer, and you can
see plainly now the two men shake hands,
and to your surprise money passes between
them. Can it have been prize-fght at
all? No, it is only deal, and if we come
little nearer to this new lot that are form
ing ring we shall see. As we approach
lane is formed, and the vision of flying
colt appears, ridden bare-backed by a
bright-looking lad. Over the wall is the
order, and Pat, steadying his mount, takes
it in frst-class form. Then the crowd
closes in, and two figures stand opposite
each other-England and ireland.
"Well, what's the price?' says England.
dts just the foinest little horse in the fair
this day, and I'll not be selling him under
9120, and that's dirt-chape," replies Ire
land, holding out his hand. "Forty," says
England, making dive at the paw. Ire
land is too quick, however, and snatches it
away before England can grasp it, saying
at the same time with an air of disdain !:
"Forty and for baste like that that the
lord lieutenant would be proud to be seen
on. 1t is trying to blarney me that you
are! I'll just let you have it for 91OO
pounds, and not a penny less, and out
goes the hand again. This time England
springs tenner, and the same pantomime
is gone through, with the exception that
England nearly catches the out-stretched
member this time, and raises laugh and
"Mind your eye, Pat" from the crowd.
After every bid this goes on, and at sixty
five England catches ireland by the hand
and shakes it heartily, thereby signifying
that it is a deal The crowd cheer, and
the two go off together to cement the bar
gain with "dhrop of the cratur."
This is the way most of the deals are
carried on, and it is an unwritten law that
if you happen to be quick enough to catch
hold of the hand of your offer, the horse
becomes your property for the amount of
your bid.

Some Strange Spelling.

The following is an illustration of pro-

as the right words and which, properly
read, would sound right. A rite suit little

Resting After Meals.

A lady who has suffered from dyspepsia
during almost her entire life, considers the
suggestions in the following extracts from
an article in a recent issue of The journal
of Health to be the most in accord with
her own experience of anything on the
subject lately published.
Hurried eating of meals, followed imme-
diately by some employment that occupies
the whole attention and takes up all, or
nearly all, of the physical energies, is sure
to result in dyspepsia in one form or an
other. Sometimes it shows itself in ex-
cessive irritability, sure indication that
nerve force has been exhausted the dou-
BILE draught in order to digest the food and
carry on the business has been more than
nature could stand without being thrown
out of balance In another case, the per-
son is exceedingly dull as soon as he has
few minutes of leisure. The mind seems
dead blank, and can only move in its ac-
customed channels, and then only when
compelled This, also, is an indication Of
nervous exhaustion. Others will have de-
cided pains in the stomach, or sense of
weight, as if heavy burden was inside.
Others, again, will be able to eat nothing
that will agree with them; everything that
is put inside the stomach is made the sub
ject of a violent protest on the part Of that
organ, and the person suffers untold ago
MES in consequence. Others suffer from
constant hunger. They may eat all they
can, and feel hungry STILL If they feel
satisfied for a little time, the least unusual
exertion brings on the hungry feeling, and
they can do no more until something is
eaten. 1t is almost needless to say that
this condition is not hunger, but imAam-
nation of the stomach. Scarcely any two
persons are affected exactly in the same
way, the disordered condition manifesting
itself according to temperament and oecu-
patton, employments that call for mental
work, and those whose scene of action lies
indoors, affecting persons more seriously
than those carried on in open air and those
which are merely mechanical and do not
engage the mind.
All, or nearly all, of these difficulties of
digestion might have never been known by
the sufferers had they left their business
behind them and rested short time after
eating, instead of rushing off to work i'm
mediately after hastily swallowing their
food
Nature does not do two things at time
and do both well, as a rule. All know that
when force is divided, it is weakened. If
the meal were eaten slowly, without pre-
occupation of the mind, and the stomach
allowed at least half an hours chance to
get its work well undertaken before the
nervous force is turned in another direc-
ton, patients suffering from dyspepsia
would be few
A physician once said at does not SO
much matter what we eat as how we eat
it." While this is only partly true, it GER
tainly is true that the most healthful food
hurriedly eaten, and Immediately followed
by work which engages the entire available
physical and mental forces, is much worse
than meal of poor food eaten leisurely
and followed by an interval of rest.
