Lighting u Pine.

A smoker who started to light his
pipe on the street turned to his CON-
panion and said: "a man told me the
other day how to light an ordinary
match in Il high wind. Let me show
you
There was a stiff breeze blowing.
The demonstration took from bis pocket
an envelope. struck parlor match on
a rail and shielded it inside of the en-
velOpe. facin. the wind as lie did so.
The match burned with hardly a flick
er, and the man who held it puffed on
his pipe with great satisfaction.
That's Il trick worth Knowing" he
remarked. Here's another. Some
times you get Il spark on top of your
pipe which the most vigorous putting
fails to spread over the surface of the
tobacco. II that case take 4 piece Of
paper of almost any kind and hold it
down in the spark. This will spread
the fire and give you the sort Of light
pipe smoker wants" - Providence

Raking Grass After Moving.


Some persons advise raking after
each moving. I do not. because the
clippings drop down into the grass and
form a mulch. which 1 consider of
great benefit. They also help to fer
tilizc the soil. The lawn that is not
moved often enough will not look well
after you have been over it with the
mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward up
on which it falls. This will wither and
turn brown in a day or two and great
~ detract from the beauty of the lawn.
But if you keep your lawn we'll moved
and that means going over it at least
three times a week in ordinary sea-
sons-the amount clipped off at each
moving will be SO slight that there
will not be enough of it to show. Let
the knife blades be set high enough to
leave at least two inches Of the foil
age.-Outing Magazine.
