GLOW do the Indians make fire
without matchesY' asked a boy who
loved to play Indian" Most Of us
have heard the answer to this: Tho
Indians used flint and steel. as our
own fathers and mothers did hun
dred years ago, and before they had
flint and steel they used rubbing
sticks" We have all read about bring
ing fire out Of two sticks by rubbing
them together. but find that most
persons look upon this as a sort OF
fairy tale, or II they believe it to be
true they think 1t SO difficult as to be
worth no second thought. All wood
crafters. I find, are surprised and
greatly interested to learn that not
only il it possible but easy to make a
friction fire If you know how. have
taught many boys and men to do 1t,
and some have grown 50 expert that
they make it nearly as quickly as with
an old fashioned sulphur match. When
l first learned from Mr.. Walter Hough,
who learned from the Indians. 1t took
me from I've to ten minutes to get q
blazing flre-not half an hour, as some
books have 1t. But later / got it down
to q minute, then to thirty -one seconds
from the time Of taking up the rub
hing sticks to having fine blaze. the
time in getting the first spark being
about six seconds.-Ernest ThompsoI

Young and old alike enjoyed the
Christmas tree here Saturday night.
Sunday was the most quiet Christmas
day we ever saw; not single one showed
any signs of intoxication, and services
were held at all the churches.
Mrs. N. C. Belcher is having her resi-
dence remodeled, and is adding another
room, which will make it model dwell
ing.
There was hanging here last week.
When Tom Barnett finished another
large and commodious barn, he hung all
the doors.
Our town looked like floating city
on Monday morning, and those who
have been fussing about the scarcity OF
water for the last two months are salts
fed now-I guess. The rain fell in tor
rents all Sunday night and nearly all
day Monday.

How the Smoker Polishes His Pipe.
Zone Of the fads Of the dyed In the
wool pipe smoker IL to have dazzling
polish on his pipe, and it's curious how
he puts the gloss on" said tobacco
dealer.
watch a veteran pipe smoker close
" and you see him occasionally rub
the bowl of his pipe against his face.
usually on each side Of his nose. That's
how he puts the polish on. The heat Of
the brier and the oil Of the skin
against which it is rubbed work up
rich gloss. A smokers favorite pipe,
you will ind, has the sheen of rose
wood. It takes months Of rubbing to
work up a looking glass polish. and
the longer the practice is INDUCED in
the more shiny the pipe becomes. 1
don't know who originated the idea,
but all old smokers are on to it, and
the pride they take in their polished
pipes is amazing."-Philadelphia Rec

why EA811o0me0 Like fUnens
Mr.. Sydney Brooks. writing in Har-
pers Weekly. gives some Of the rea-
sons why Punch has SO strong hold
ON the affections Of the British public
and why 1t fails to appeal to Ameri-
cans. The great virtue Of Punch. he
says, is its seriousness. in which opin-
ion there will be many on this side
Of the water to agree with him. The
great fault Of the American comic
papers, it appears, Is that they are not
serious enough. They are always max
ing jokes. Punch. on the other hand.
evades these mistakes, because 1t Is
really not humorous, but critical
journal. The American comic paper Is
like the professional funny man at q
party. You listen and laugh for 9
while and then you want to murder
him."
