THE VERY FIRcT MATCH.

John Walker, an English Druggist,
Was the Inventor I'm 1927.
In the nineteenth century-the cen
fury In which so many wonderful things
were done-the fourth step in the de-
velopment of the match was taken. In
1927, John Walker, a druggist in
small English town, tipped a splint
with sulphur, chlorate Of potash and
sulphid of anthony, and rubbed it on
sandpaper, and it burst into flame. Tho
druggist had discovered the first fric-
ton chemical match, the kind we use
to-day. 1t Is called friction-chemical
because it is made by mixing certain
chemicals together and rubbing them.
Although Walkers match did not re-
Quire the bottle of acid, 1T nevertheless
was not good one. 1t could be lighted
only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered
and threw fire in all directions. In a
few years, however, phosphorus was
substituted on the tip for anthony,
and the change worked wonders. The
match could now be lighted with very
little rubbing, and it was no longer
necessary to have sandpaper upon
which to rub it. 1t would ignite when
rubbed on any dry surface, and there
was no longer any suffering. This
was the phosphorus match, the match
with which we are SO familiar.
After the invention Of the easily
lighted phosphorus match there was
no longer use for the dip-splint or the
strike-a-light. The old methods of get
ting a blaze were gradually laid aside
and forgotten. The first phosphorus
matches were sold at % cents a block
"a block containing IA matches-and
they were used by but few. Now a
hundred matches can be bought for a
cent. 1t is said that in the United
we use about 100000, matches
year. This, on an average, Is about
five matches a day for every person.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


1t Came Upon the Midnight Clear.
1t came upon the midnight cl,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps Of gold:
Peace on the earth, good will to men
From Heavens alEgracious King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurld,
And still their heavenly music floats
Der all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER it's Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffer'd long;
Beneath the angelstrain have roll'd
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The lovesong which they bring.
Oh! hush the noise, We men of strife.
And hear the angels sing!
And ye, beneath lifa's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing.
Oh! rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels singh
For 10! the days are Fastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

vigorously held to the contracts, but
if they go down the buyers find some
way to evade the letter of the con-
tract by having the hops graded so
as to be rejected If one buyer re-
jects the hops others stand in with
him and in this way the contract is
nullified. The same principle applies
when we come to contracting fruit. I
have often had chances to contract
both peaches and apples, but never
have done SO and do not think l ever
shall.
The papers report that pear blight
has been found in Yakima county near
the town of Sunnyside | am not sur
prised at this No fault is to be found
with the fruit inspector of that county
because the blight has crept in. 1t is
not always easily detected and may
sometimes escape the notice of the
most careful inspection. What can
be done? 1t ought to be stopped be-
fore blooming time next spring. Some
thing can be done now but the real
work of stamping out this blight has
to be done during the dormant season.
There is but one remedy and that is
to cut out and burn all infected wood
well below the point of infection. 1t

mant for the disease is dormant also
at that time. l have had no experience
with pear blight. had it on some OF
my apple trees in Iowa, for it must
be remembered that the pear and ap-
pie blight are identical. But it is
worse on pear trees than on apple
trees, hence, it has come to be known
as pear blight. Hunt up Prof. Beat

months ago. Get Prof. Waits bulle-
tin and read it. They agree in the
treatment and if their directions are
followed the pest may be stamped out.

Jacob Keihm. of 3 East avenue,
who, as told in Yesterdays NEWS,
disappeared from his home Thursday
night by jumping out of a second
story window, appeared in Elizabeth
port last night, at the yard of the
Central railroad, where he was en-
ployed, and from all reports he Gre
ated much disturbance.
When Keihm appeared in the rail
road yard at Elizabethport, the Off
cials at that place did not know that
he had been reported as missing from
home or that anything was the mat
ter with him, and if is said that he
was ordered to go to work.
AS soon as any one approached
Keihm, it is said, he would dart away
like a wild man. All night long rail
road detectives and the EliZabethport
police, who had been notified of the
mans strange actions, tried to catch
him. for it was feared that he would
be killed as he often ran up and down
the tracks, but up until a late hour
he had not been caught.

allowed 10 depart from the prison.
Here the prisoners veal no degrading
uniform. The only thing to tell that
they are not free men is a seam down
the side of the trousers.
Under the new system it has been
found that only twenty per cent. of
the convicts return TO prison. while
under the old system as used in New
York and other places over eighty
per cent. are sent back TO Jail after a
short period of liberty.
This matter, in Mr.. Stokes mind,
will, in time, have to be taken up by
society and when it is and they find
that it is the fault of society and not
any one man, all these hardships will
be corrected and crime will to a great
extent be stamped out
In speaking about deaths Mr..
Stokes brought out the fact that in
his mind il was the trusts and en-
ployers who are in many cases the
cause. He explained a recent case at
Albany, where a number of the rep
resentatives of manufacturers had APP
peared and asked that the law, which
is now in force in New York state,
comDelling the use of fans in all fac
tories where a dust of any danger
Gus sort is. around, be repealed, This,
the representatives of the manufac-
turers explained, was an injustice to
any private concern as it cost much

10 demand such things.
At this same meeting appeared del
egates of the Metal Polishers' Union,
who did not want 10 see the law re-
pealed. They presented TO the legis-
lature hundreds Of documents of the
death claims that they had paid out,
because of the deaths caused by the
work in that line. From these it
was learned that nearly all of the
deaths were those of men under forty
years of age.
Mr.. Stokes made a great plea for
more modern shops and houses, and
said that as soon as society took hold
of all such matters then vice would
commence 10 cease. and disease
would be prevented 10 a great eX-
tent. He spoke of the evils of the
dance halls in cheap resorts where
drink was sold to the very young,
and suggested the throwing open of
the public schools in the evening.
After the address Mr.. Stokes said
that he was prepared to answer any
questions that any II present would
care TO ask him and if any one was
in doubt about certain things he
would see if he could put them. A
number of people shook hands with
the speaker and others asked ques-
lions. Mr.. Stokes returned to New
York last night.
