A "Reminiscences Which Appeals Strongly

"Reminiscences Which Appeals Strongly
to the Sense of the Ridiculous.
A few days ago gentleman, who is
now something over sixty yeaas OF age,
said to me: Il well remember the
time when | first saw match. I
was then boy, and was working in
the barn with my father, when young
man, the son of neighbor, came in
with box in his hand and said he
could now light fire without
borrowing Goals or striking a spark
with the flint Opening the box he
took out one of the matches, which
was three or four inches long and had
a yellow looking substance on one end.
This end he dipped into small bottle
which came in the box with the
matches and contained sulphuric acid.
When the match was put into
the acid it instantly burnt into
a blaze. Although young Grant mad
paid fourteen shillings ($1.75) for
his box, which held but fifty
matches, he was quite ready to use up
one or more of the costly fire-makers
in showing father how the wonderful
invention worked. But father having
a wholesome fear of fire, and looking
with some suspicion on any new de-
parture from established ways, begged
Grant, if he would fool with that stuff
to go outside, for he didn't want his
barn burned down, adding, st may be
fun to see that go off, BUTT amt going
to do anybody any good to have fire
made as easy as thatp" The old gen
tleman was mistaken. His son has
lived to see the time when fire. can be
made much more easily, and it does
people good by saving time and temper
while the number of fires from the use
of matches is mparatively few. Five
hundred '.parlor" matches can be-
bought for five cents; between forty
and fifty million matches are made
every day in the United States, and
still the country is not yet destroyed
by fire in spite of the ease with which
we can make re.-Christian Advocate.

In cigarette there are FIVE poi
sons: The oil of the paper, the oil of
nicotine, saltpeter to preserve the to-
bacco. opium to make it mild, and the
oil in the aavoring. The trouble with
the cigarette is the inhaling of the
smoke. If you blow a mouthful of
smoke through handkerchief it will
leave brown stain. Inhale the smoke
and blow it through the nostrils. and
no stain will appear. The oil and poi
son remain in the head or body. Cigar
cites create thirst for strong drink;
and there should be anti-cigarette soci.
cites, as there are temperance societies.
