A New Use for Matches.

l watched train hand stagger through
the coach with eyes closed and fearful
face--a case of cinder. He met COM
panion, who instantly felt in his vest
pocket, poised himself, made one motion,
and the suffering brakeman at once went
back to his post relieved. How did
you remove that cinder?" asked. "With
a match" he replied. Producing one, he
split it to point with his thumb nail.
''This looks like harsh way to treat so
tender an organ" said he, "but it is en-
tirely safe. Turning back the eyelid,
the speck only needs to be touched by
some dry substance-in this case the
match-to adhere to it. We have to help
one another SO dozen times a day"
s'But why not wait until stoppingY'
inquired. "Too busy then. Besides,
there is no need. 1t is as easy on a train
in motion as on the ground when one is
accustomed to it. After raising the arm
for the operation, one needs to get the
swing of the train. This car runs
smoothly, so did quick work. Spring

Fire Among Savage nations.

According to Pliny fire was a long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptian tribes, and when celebrated
astronomer made them acquainted with
that element and how to produce it they
were wild with delight. The Persians,
Phenicians, Greeks and several other
nations acknowledge that their ances-
tors were once without the comforts
which fire bestows; the Chinese confess
the same of their progenitors. Ponpan-
ion, Mola, Plutarch and other ancient
writers speak. of nations which, at the
time when they wrote, knew not the use
of fire, or had just recently learned it.
The inhabitants of the Marian islands,
which were discovered in 1861, had no
idea of fire or it's uses. Their astonish
ment knew no bounds when they saw it
applied to wood, most of them taking it
to be some kind of an animal which the
sailors had brought with them and which
must be fed on wood.-St. Louis Re-

why the Malta Exists in Italy.

The origin of the Camorra and Malta
murder leagues ceases to puzzle travel
ers who have visited the rural districts
of southern Sicily. Nearly all the real
estate of the coast plain from Syracuse
to Cape Bianco is in the hands of few
aristocrats, who have deprived their ten
ants of their panes as well as of their
circenses, of the right to hunt, to fish, to
train fighting cocks, without special
license, as well as of the more urgent
necessities of life. The streets of the in
land villages generally resemble the gull
lies of a parched out mountain river, and
the houses are mere mud piles, rooted
with flat stones and wattles of broom
corn, and surrounded by rubbish heaps,
where NANCY ours and sore eyed chill
dren compete for scraps of animal re-
fuse.
Laborers, returning from days hard
work, sit down to meal of maize paste
and salad, washed down with the water
of the Shiny village cistern. The profits
of little truck farms barely satisfy the
demands of the tithe collector, and in
dignation meetings are promptly sup
pressed, but midnight conventicles are
less easy to prevent, and the starving
villager would as soon defle the statue
of GaribalG as to betray Capo Mafioso
who has befriended him at the expense
Of an oppressive landlord. L. Os-

Partisan Bouquets.

Please to heed what an autocrat direct
from the salons of Paris has to say on
the subject of bouquets. No more 'com-
posed punches of flowers" are carried by
the fashionable women in that dizzy
capital. A beribboned bouquet is re-
garded as ''bad FORM" only the Partisan
has another phrase for bad form, and a
dame of the haut monde now enters a
salon carrying a spray or branch of
some flowers in season, such as lilac or
mimosa. In this land of extravaganza,
where all the flowers are always in
bloom, she might hold spray of orchids
or bunch of roses, but the arranged
bouquet, jamais! The idea is to resem-
BILE the young martyrs in the pictures,
these said martyrs generally holding in
one hand palm branch. Perhaps our
florists will catch on to this new wrinkle
and have some extraordinarily lovely
blooms prepared for their fair customers.

what enc Hatter Said Ahout reon1e.


A good way to judge man is to listen
to his talk when he comes in to buy
hat for himself 1t is all right for man
to ask his tailor what he ought to wear.
But every man ought to know what sort
of hat is most becoming to him. No
article of 3 mans wearing apparel so
completely makes or unmales him as
his hat. There are men who should
never wear any other than a silk hat,
just as there are men who should never
wear anything in the way of a hat ex-
cept Derby. There are men who will
never look like anything human with
either. Some men were born to. wear
nothing but the soft hat.
would not vote for man who does
not know what sort of hat he should
wear without taking the advice of an
other on the subject believe it was
Shakespeare who said that dress pro-
claims the man. Shakespeare knew
what he wanted to say reckon, but if
he ever paid any attention to the matter
he would have said the hat It is my
observation that a man will say more
foolish things when he goes to buy hat
than at any other time. e.-Interview in

TWO KILLERS.
Wyatt carp and David Nagle Meet
in San Francisco.

Wyatt carp ana DAVID Nagle MeSI
in San Francisco.
The presence of Wyatt carp in the
city was not remarked on extensively by
any OF the newspapers, says the last
mum Der of the San Francisco Wave. This
was an oversight, as carp enjoys an en-
viable reputation as an exceedingly
''bad man." He is one of the famous
carp brothers, whose handy manner OF
shooting has brought death to many in
offensive denizens of Arizona. When
Mr.. David Nage committed burglary on
the life of ex-Judge Terry, carp was in
terviewed on the subject of the
deputy marshal's courage and cool
ness, and spoke of the same in a
sneering and supercilious way. Nagle
and carp knew each other well, and the
former never attempted to draw
weapon within sight of Wyatt. When
Nagle was deputy sheriff of Tombstone,
/ believe, carp came riding into town,
his belt full of weapons and his eye
shedding blood. The sheriff told Nagle
to disarm him.
This was an office that no one had
sought, and Mr.. Nagle did not fancy it.
He met carp in saloon.
"Hullo, Wyatt" he said. Chow are
you?"
The bad man admitted he was feeling
"so-so."
''Say, Wyatt, want your guns" said
Nagle. "The sheriff thinks you'll do
some damage with them"
"Oh, you want the weapons, eh?" re-
marked Mr.. carp.
eyes, but only until you get ready to
leave town, you know"
"Well, Dave Mr.. carp said, quietly,
"there's just one way you can get them,
and that's to start in and scrap Tor
them. Get right out there, make your
fight, and if you can shoot them OF me
you can have them"
Nagle thought moment. Wyatt,
he said at last, 81 guess you'll be all
right. There won't be any need OF CIV

IT was thought there would be fight

made on the deputy-marshaPs reputa-
tion for courage were of an exceedingly
disagreeable, character. carp himself
was not inclined to look on the matter

met. Nagle rushed Gp to carp, sseized

had left town, but am told hels looking

nrarveIs Of Brusael..

The finest of all lace is Brussels. Bel
gium is the lacemakers' chosen home.
One-foTtieth OF the whole population
is engaged in it. The government
supports 900 lace schools, to which
children are sent as young as Eve years.
BY the time they are ten they are self
supporting. Brussels is a pillow lace.
Indeed, Barbara Littman, the inventor
of pillow lace, lived and died there.
The pattern, drawn upon parchment, is
fixed firmly to the pillow, pins are stuck
along the outlines, and to them the lace
is woven by crossing and twisting the
threads, each of which ends in bobbin.
Lace two inches wide requires 300 or
300 bobbins. A piece six inches has
sometimes as many as thousand. The
thread is hand spun from the best Bra
bant fax, in damp, dark cellars, whose
one ray of light falls on the spinner's
hand.
Naturally spinning is very unhealthy,
and experts get high wages. The best
yarn from a single pound of flax fetches
over s., 900. For filing flowers and leaves
fine soft cotton is used. Grounds, too,
are often made of it. Elaborate patterns
are made in sections, and joined together
by the most skillful workers of ALI AS
the lace is never washed before it is sold,
the most exquisite neatness is requisite
in everything connected with it.
Still, as months are consumed in max
ing very handsome pieces, the work
turns dingy in spite of the lace workers
best efforts. To remedy that it is some
times busted with white lead in powder,
and turns dark at contact with gas or
sulphur in way to exasperate the
wearer.-New York Herald.
