Novel Match Scratcher.

Tho most popular match scratcher
in the world Is part of the Brooklyn
bridge. On the great structure itself
thousands of matches are lighted
daily, but there is one particular
spot which has become noted for the
number of fuses ignited there. This
spot is on the eastern surface of q
pillar situated at the New York en-
trance of the bridge on the north
side.
The structure was opened to the
public only n short time before the
smokers who crossed it every morn.
ing discovered that this particular
pillar was better sheltered from the
varying air currents than any of the
others. In consequence from 100 to
300 matches are lighted on the side
of the pillar every day. The con.
slant friction of these fuses has worn
a hole in the iron. The depression
Is eight inches long, tive inches wide
and nearly an inch in depth. New

A Canard.

The origin of "canard" is said by
Darmestetor, page Of, to be as fol.
lows: In tho seventeenth century it
was usual to say, "Vendre quel.
gu un un canard n moitie'-i. O., to
sell person half duck, meaning it
to pass for a whole duck; hence a
canard took the sense of a lie. Lit.
tire says that canard comes from the
old expression, "Vendre un canard
a Motto" Ito half sell duck), in
which a Motto was subsequently
suppressed. 1t is clear that to sell
half a duck is not to sell it at all
hence the sense to take in, make a
