come dizzy and fall He looked to the right
hand and to the left and began to realize
that he was in a terribly dangerous position.
To recede was madness; to go on was I'M
possible. to all appearance. Yet the. brave
youth did not despair. Suddenly there HASH
ed into his mind the story ofthat ambitious
Virginia boy who aspired to set his name
upon the spot to which Washington had
climbed, and who was placed III the same
situation with himself
Supporting himself against the well with
one hand, he managed to get out his kniie,
and opened it with his teeth; for he knew
that il he dropped it, he was doomed lie
looked up, and settled in his mind the course
work, digging the earth out of the crevices
with the Bnife-point, and sending the debris
rafting down into the gulf below. His one
thought was that he must reach the summit
of the ravine, or die!
Once he paused, and, clinging to the wall,
glimpse, his head began to whlrl, and ne
fixed his eyes again upon the summit, and
closed them until the slight giddiness had
assed away.
His breath came thick and laboring, and
the perspiration started from every PORE The
knife was blunted and ragged from frequent
contact with the rocks, and his clothing was
in tatters. Still he worked away cheerfully,
and reached a point from which narrow
ledge ran horizontally along the face OF the
cliff, giving him an opportunity to rest his
wearied limbs. He needed the rest, for the
worst of his labor was to come.
Fifteen feet above him the rocks reared
their heads, with hardly a crevice or a flaw,
and he must depend upon the knife to delye
out places for his hands and feet.
The last half-hour he labored there he was
scarcely conscious OF passing events. He
delyed away with unabated energy.
An unnatural strength was given him--the
strength Of desperation with a wild cry
Of Joy he grasped small tree on the top Of
the cliff, and drew himself up, when over
taxed nature gave way and he fell senseless
on the sod.
Years have passed, but that student--an old
man now-yet lives, hale and strong, and

These blocks are then passed through a
machine which cuts them up into spnts, Just
the thickness required for a match only that
they are twice as long.
This machine is capable of turning out over
two million splints a day.
The old-fashioned match was made by hand,
and, as compared with that, this number
seems almost incredible.
They are then set, every splnt being sep
arated from its neighbor SO as not to adhere
to each other, by being laid across ribbon,
leaving about a quarter of an inch betweken
the adjoining splints.
A peunder is then used, making them all
uniform and even. and the bundled ones are
dipped, at both ends, first into the sulphur,
and then into the solution of Phosphorus and
hung in frame to dry. When dry, again
they are placed in machine which cuts the
sticks in two, thus making two matches out
of every splint.
But this is not all-for there is no end of
trouble over these. little things-they are now
taken to the boxing room, where boys and
girls, and even women, are employed in put
ting them into boxes. 1t is remarkable with
what speed they do it, too. Picking up an
empty box, and dropping the lid, they man
with shake and a shuttle it is filed, every
match lying in its own particular place.
Then these boxes are hurried to another
room, and placed in boxes of larger size, and
then into cases of wood and sent to every
part of this country, and to foreign parts.
So we see how much labor, how much skill
and usefulness is placed upon little splint of
wood only about two inches long, and yet
how indispensable they are!
1t is estimated by competent judges that
six matches day, on an average are used by
every person in the United States making a
tremendous demand for what seems so insig-
nihcant an article.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-03

They are now TO be found IN every city
and country store, nicely boxed, and carrying
blue.
This little bit of white wood, all unpreten-
tious as it may be, i sfull of changes IN its
journey from the forest to the match-safe!
One can hardly imagine that the tall, tow
ering pines that sway in the cold northern
blast, in the great, silent forests around Lake
Superior, and further north, even to the Hud,
son Bay Territory, could be so cut up and
divided as to be twisted between the fingers
in the form Of match But surely it is far
more useful in its diminutive form, than as
stately tree of the forest!
We are told that about the middle of the
seventeenth century il was ascertained that
preparation called phosphorus would ignite a
splint of wood dipped In sulphur, and yet
this means of obtaining fire was not common
ly used until a century and hall later.
Fifty years ago the matches were very
clumsy things as compared with the delicate
ones of today, and yet they were great inn
provement upon the first ever made-these
were the days of flint, steel and tindr, and
thy had not yet become a necessity.
1t was considered great progress by our
forefathers when small sticks dipped in melt
ed sulphur were placed in tin boxes, accom-
panied by a small bottle of phosphorus, and
sold.
Then came a compound OF potash and sui
phur, which was used in like manner, and
afterward dipped in sulphuric acid, and it is
only since the year 1929 that a chemist in
Lancashire, England, discovered that this
preparation would ignite by friction. Then
satltpetre was substituted for chlorite, and
with this began the day Of friction matches.
The matches of today have very interest
ing story connected with them. The timber
is towed in lografts down the great water
courses. When well seasoned, which occupies
from one to two years, the pine is cut up into
blocks just twice the length of a match,
eight inches wide and two thick.

very weak. Father told us we were forgiven;

Jim was pleased. He thought everything

well, We acted as bad as we could, to tell
the truth, and Miss Penley went to see moth

One day-it, was Saturday-mother sent
June and me down to the end of the garden
to pick currants. While we were there, we
saw the nurse-her name was Norah Pinder-
liking Tony in her carriage, where she could
see us, and in baby way be amused. Pres

Tony. sitting there.
Tony's name was Victoria, but Jim couldn't
say it at first so he called her Tony
June never said aNword, but went and got
Tony and brought her down where we were.
Tony was so fond of June that she would go
anywhere with her.
Rye said June, "let's take her down in
the woods, and get her asleep and leave her
there, just a little while, to scare Aunt Char
iotte and Norah."
l never thought what was doing-honestly,
never thought-but hurried off down the
path in the woods with the carriage fghan in
my hand, and June coming behind carrying
Tony.
They couldn't see the path from the house.
We went through the thick woods to a little
place we called our "den," and sat down.
Finally Tony went to sleep. So we put her
down on the afghan and ran back toward the
house. We meant to go right back to the
garden 80 we could the fun when Norah
came out to look for Tony.

OF course it wasn't true, for father is the
only uncle June ever had, but Sue believed it,

After Sue went on, June said why couldn't
we go and get some pictures; so we did go,
and we had such fun!

The limestone rocks rise upon
each side, in perpendicular columns, to the
height of nearly two hundred feet, and, at
the bottom, narrow, rapid river rushes on,

Some years ago, young student, wander

face of the limestone rocks, became hiled WIN

from ledge to ledge by the sheer power OF

1t was hard work, and took all the powers
of a muscular frame; but he still persevered,
never looking back nor pausing in his ardu-

Foot by foot he arose above the glen, until
he had reached an altitude of nearly one hun

standstill.
Up to this time the face of the limestone

Ten millions Of dollars or more, prop
erly expended each year through the
medium of agricultural colleges and
departments throughout the states,
would be valuable investment by the
National Government for the entire
nation, provided these influences tend
ed to upbuild the agricultural and
livestock interests of the South; to
teach the growing communities how to
care for their lands and their homes
in a manner that would return to the
soil its former richness, and to make
the products of the ground increase
and multiply and enrich the people.
But nothing could be more unfortu-
nate for any locality than to have
sums OF money voted to that pur-
pose and have it made use Of fol-
political advancement and the aid of
classes rather than the masses.
