The great difficulty was to find dry
finder. Naturally it was very ready
to absorb moisture and when allowed
to become damp the difficulty of OBJ
tanning light in the morning was
great To avoid this trouble the tin
der box was usually kept in a spec
tally dry place. Often there was a
small niche made on purpose in the
brickwork at the back of the large
open hearth place. Often the box was
placed in the evening on the hearth
close to the fire and at bedtime was
carried upstairs warm and dry and
placed beneath the pillow.-Chicago

MATCHES OF OLDEN TIMES.
Securing a Light With Flint and Steel
Tedious Process,

Few persons living today remember
when the finder box was a necessity
But these feeW are the only ones who
thoroughly appreciate the convenience
of matches. With the aid of finder
box. one sometimes obtained light
in less than two minutes, but if the
conditions were unfavorable one might
spend half hour or more before get
ting from the reluctant box the spark
which would kindle the fire.
The process sounds simple. The lid
of the box was removed and a bit of
candle stuck in the socket. Next the
flint. steel. matches and damper were
taken from the box, one match being
drawn from the bundle and laid ready
for immediate use. The handle of the
steel was grasped firmly in the left
hand and the flint held between the
stel and the finder. This was meas.
ured roughly in the dark by placing
the bottom of the hand upward and
placing the bottom of the steel on
the tip of the thumb. The flint was
then struck sharply with the steel
several times, obliquefy and down.
ward.
The impact caused the steel to give
of sparks, really minute glObules Of
| me ulten metal, at temperature OF
several thousand degrees, and these,
| falling upon tn finder. soon set it
aIight. The box was then taken in
the hands and gently blown to cause
the smoldering finder to glow more
brightly, and to this glow the point
of sulphur match was quickly ap
piled. The flame of the burning sui
phur quickly kindled the wood of the
match and it was then easy to light
the candle or morning fire.
Although the process was not diff
cult for an expert under favorable
| circumstances, it was at best slow and
| tedious. One might strike 100 mod
ern matches, one by one, in less time.
| The flint commonly used in the tin
der box was such as might be picked
up in any flint district. All that was
necessary was that it should be so
shaped that it could be easily held
between the fingers and should have
sharp, clear edges. These were COM
monty sold in the streets of London
for penny and are still manufactur-
ed in Brandon, England, for export
to Spain, Italy and the east. The
match then used was not like those OF
| tOGdy, WHICH ignite spontaneously
when struck.
Originally match" was any sub
stance which burned readily and slow
ly. The bit of slow burning hempen
rope stepped in solution OF saltpeter,
which the ancient gunner carried in or
der to discharge his arquebus, was
match 1t burned at the rate OF
about three feet in an hour. The old
sulphur match was intended not to
produce but to convey fire. In London
matches were commonly sold by the
poorest and raggedest class OF street
merchants, who lived in dirty lodgings
in the poorest districts, where they
made the matches, carrying them
about in a basket for sale. Few
houses with any pretension escaped
without at least once call a day from

Townsend, Mont, one of the promi-
nent young men of that place. Rev.
Rosen officiated at the ceremony. His
services were earnest ana eloquent,
the single ring service being beauti-
fully rendered, and all was particu-
larly appropriate for the occasion.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in corn colored material trimmed with
cream satin and lace and carried
large pink and white chrysanthemums
and she was attended by Miss May
Stewart, who was also prettily gown
ed and the groom attended by Mr..
Fred Irish, brother of the bride. Up
on leaving the room the young couple
we're showered with congratulations
and also rice, both being received
graciously.
Directly after the service the we'd
ding supper was served at the home
Of the bride to relatives and friends
of the young couple.
The combination band of Garneill,
q most excellent organization, sere-
naded the party, before the supper
was ended, bride and groom going
out to welcome them.
Many useful and beautiful presents
were presented to them, and when
the guests departed they left many
wishes for a prosperous and happy
welded life for the young couple.
