The First Artificial Fire.

In the course of time Il MAJ some
where in the world hit upon IA plan of
kindling a fire without having any fire
to begin with that is to say, he hit
upon a plan OF producing a fire by
artificial means. He knew that by
rubbing his hands together very hard
and very fast he could make them very
warm. BY trial he learned that by
rubbing two pieces of dry wood to-
gether he could make them very warm.
Then he asked himself the question,
Can a fire be kindled by rubbing two
pieces of wood together If they are
rubbed hard enough? lie placed upon
the ground a piece of perfectly dry
wood and rubbed this with the end of
a stick until a groove vas made. In
the groove a fine dust of wood-a kind
of sawdust--was made by the rubbing.
He went on rubbing hard and fast,
and, behold, the dust in the groove be-
gan to glow! He placed some dry
grass upon the embers and blew upon
them with his breath. and the grass
burst into a flame. Here for the first
time a man kindled a fire for himself.
He had invented the match, the great
est invention perhaps in the history Of
the world.-St. Nicholas.

Queer Freak of Memory.

The French scientist Ribot in his
work on Diseases of the Memory"
tells of a man thirty years of age of
considerable learning and acquire
ments who was found at the termina-
ton of a severe Illness to have lost the
recollection of everything, even the
names of the most common objects.
As soon as his health was restored he
began to acquire knowledge like a
child. After learning the names of OBJ
jects he was taught to read and after
this began to learn Latin. He made
considerable progress when n day in
reading his lesson with his brother,
who was his teacher, he suddenly stop
ped and put his hand to his head.
"What is the matter? Don't you feel
well?" asked his brother.
81 feel a peculiar sensation in my
head" he replied, land now it seems
to me | knew all this before"
Strange to say, from that time he
rapidly recovered his faculties and
could never understand how it had
been necessary to teach him reading
and writing when he was thirty years
Of age and proficient in both.

three important hearings-viz, the Hill

hearings, and the indications are that
the Hillery law may be repealed or at
least amended to a considerable eX-
tent. The fee bill is likely to go
through without difficulty, and limited

Trenton, Feb. 1.-The state legisla-
ture this year has established a prece-
lent which other legislatures are likely
now to follow-that is, in the matter of
disposing of public hearings early in
the session in order that the end of the
term may be devoted to the real bust
ness of passing laws. Hearings have
been given on most of the important
bills thus far introduced in the legisla-
ture. Much of the time this week was
given up to these hearings. The legis-
lature adjourned Tuesday at noon un-
til next Monday night, but the hearing
on the local option bill occupied all of
Tuesday afternoon.
Short but busy sessions were the or
der Monday night. The flood of bills
which has poured into both houses on
previous Monday nights was n%oticeably
diminished this week.
In the senate Mr.. Minturn of Hudson
introduced a joint resolution to instruct
Jerseys senators and representatives
in congress to vote for the rate meas
ure sanctioned by President Roosevelt
and to lend their aid otherwise for its
speedy enactment into law.
Senator Mckee introduced a resolu-
ton for the appointment by the gov
ernor of three persons conversant with
the matter to investigate and submit "A
report to the present legislature, if pos
sible, on the taking and better protec-
ton of salt water fishes. 1t carries no
appropriation.
Senator Hutchinson (Mercer) intro
duced a Joint resolution for the appoint
ment by the governor of three persons
who shall report OF the subject of mu-
nicipal government in this state and
determine what general restrictions
should be placed upon the powers of
municipalities with regard to taxation
and the creation of Indebtedness.
Senator Hillery's bill providing for an
additional allowance Of $1,000 for the
state comptroller's office went to the
house, having passed the senate.
The senate in executive session Mon
day night received from the governor
the reappointment of Theodore Simon

Mnrrlnse and Health.

Marriage Is an institution highly con-
ducive 20 the health OF both husband
and wife, says American Medicine.
Statistics prove that among married
men over twenty years OF age and wo-
men over forty the mortality rate Is
far less than among those who remain
single. Among the widowed and d.
vorced the mortality Is exceptionally
great Suicides among the unmarried
are much more numerous than among
the married. The matrimonial state
promotes temperance In every form.
Furthermore. the probable duration OF
life OF a married man OF thirty exceeds
that OF his unmarried brother by i've
years. and the wife may expect 10 live
one year longer than a single woman
OF the same age.

CATARRH FROM CHILDHOOD.

The popularity and growth Of Hy-

omei outfit and the extra bottles In
Bryan has been something phenom-
email aud +. J jenkins says that he
has never sold any other remedy
which gave such universal satisfao-
ton and made so many r. remarkable
cures
The worst aud most chronic cases
OF catarrh readily yield 10 the use Of
Hyomei. People who have suffered
from childhood have been cured by
this remedy. J. 5. Nugent, treasurer
OF the American Union Insurance
Co, New York City, writes: "Hy-
omei has completely cured my
daughter Of eatarrh, from which she
had been suffering for years"
So many remarkable results have
attended the use OF Hyomei amongst
the customers of +. j jenkins, that
he feels justified in using the strong
est possible language In speaking Of
It's virtues, and when you read that
he sells il under an absolute guaran-
tee TO refund the money II Il does
not cure, you will see that he fully
believes In its curative powers. A
