The House passed several bills finally,
The most important was the one making

Facts About Matches.

Wax matches are employed in
Europe to IN extent vastly greater
than IN this country.
An average of eight matches for each
man, woman aud child is used in the
United States daily.
The body OF wax match is mado
by drawing cotton strands, twenty or
thirty at time, through melted
stearine.
1t costs more to strike a match in
France than in any other civilized
country, because the business is
monopolized by the Government.
Sweden is tho greatest match pro-
ducing country in the world, although
the industry is conducted on an enor.
nous scale IN the United States and
elsewhere.
The "safety" match was invented by
Swede named Lundetrom, in 1866.
The head of the safety match contains
chlorate of potash and sulphur, while
the friction paper on the box is spread
with paste OF amorphous phosphorus
and antimony.
