and tinder. The whole, connected with
cords, is worn at the belt To use
the apparatus, the native takes the
bamboo firmly in his left hand, and
in his right holds the bit of china by
the finger and thumb, and on the
thumb side pinches a bit of tinder.
The edge of the china is then struck
sharply down and along the bamboo
producing a bright and long spark
which catches in the tinder and ignites
it. Very little practice is required to
enable even a novice to light a fire by
this means. Obviously, when the ap-
paratus was first devised, no china
was available, and doubtless some
sharp stone took its place. Now, how
ever, bits of broken china such as are
found in cheap eating houses, are re
garded as best for the purpose, and
universally used
The thoughtful reader will at once
draw an analogy between this means
of fire making and the flint and steel
of our own ancestors. In the East
ern tropics, however bamboo is the
commonest of woods, and so was
doubtless observed many times to
where flint, in contact with metal,
was seen once. In consequence, after
the first bright thinker had devised
this way of using the spark, the meth
cd held it's popularity and obtains to
this day, although the flint and steel
is so much simpler, easier and more
portable.
The philosophy of the device will at
once be apparent The sharp edge of
the china scrapes off a bit of bamboo
not much, because the wood is hard
and the outside has quite glaze
but enough to be made incandescent
by the friction of the the stroke. The
tinder catches this spark, and the de-
sired fame is the result.

Provincialis,n in rranos.

Certainly the untraveled Frenchman
is unpleasantly narrow when he is not
exceptionally intelligent. He has an
off-hand way of disbelieving what he
has not seen, and of brushing aside
what he vaguely knows by hearsay,
which precludes every attempt at con
versation. But the Frenchman who.
even without the advantage of travel.

French culture, is often delightful.

HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wea1thiest Hobo in America Plans . Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New road magnate, as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,00O by the will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in New York bank
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said:
 It sounds like the dream of a crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be a tramp.
 He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. so long as he had to build himself home, he declared that he might as well build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his. he ex- plained, are getting old and stiff and cannot tramp much longer.
 He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"

Prevent
 As We'll As Cure Headache

If subject to headache, take Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills when you feel the first indication of an attack, and you will find that they rarely ever fail to stop further progress.
 Pain weakens the nerves, and the longer you suffer, the more frequent will be the attacks.
 On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved of this weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, nor phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed, and will have no other effect, except to drive out the pain.
 "Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are all right, and l can recommend them to any one in need of a remedy for head ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind. My health is not very good, and I am subject to frequent attacks of severe headache but since I began taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills I do not suffer from that trouble as I used to. They never fail to give relief in a few minutes, and if taken promptly on the approach of headache will prevent an attack from coming on. Pain Pills prevent, as we'll as cure"
