STRIKING ALRIGHT
ODD WAYS EMPLOYED BY CIV.
LIED AND SAVAGE.
World Was Thousands of Years Old
Before Matches Were Known
Took Chemists Years to
Perfect Tip.

The world was thousands OF years
old before matches were known. The
little tip Of the match looks very
simple, yet 1t Is made of so many sub.
stances put together that 1t took chem
lists years to discover just what ma.
terials could be used in making 1t.
Savages know nothing about match.
es so make their light in other ways.
Sometimes the uncivilized people rub
two dry pieces of wood together until
one catches fire. Often they use two
stones, striking one against the other
until spark falls amid some dry
leaves and starts small blaze.
The Australian bushman uses q
method of his own to procure light
First he selects two pieces of light
wood each about foot long from the
cork tree or black fig tree. One a
nat piece he lays on the ground
amidst pile Of dry leaves. Upon this
strip Of wood he kneels in order to
hold down the ends. Then he rolls
the other pointed stick between the
palms Of his hands SO that y. tores
hole into the fiat strip of wdod This
makes fine wood dust, which catches
on fire. sending its spark among the
dry leaves. BY blowing upon the tiny
light the bushman soon has fire
which he feeds with more leaves.
The Malay sailors follow much the
same plan as the bushmen. They use
piece Of split bamboo, making a
notch across its hollow side. Saving
into this notch slowly, then rapidly
with a sharp edged piece of bamboo,
wood dust Is soon made. This catches
fire and falls upon the dry leaves,
which the wise sailor has placed to
catch the sparks. In the forests of
South America the natives often
strike two stones together until q lit
tie spark flies out. Instead OF using
dry leaves to receive this tiny bit of
fire they prefer to build little heaps
of fluffy bird feathers. Striking a
light Is a term which has come to us
from our ancestors. They strusr two
flint stones together until the spark
flew into finder box of charred
threads of linen. This tiny light was
blown into a flame. Then a match
tipped with birthstone or sulphur was
lighted from the little fire so that the
candles or stove fires might be light
ed. These finder boxes and the brim-
stone matches were always, kept
where they were very easy to get.

Men and Animals,

1t Is difficult to make out Just why
at this period of history there should
be a sudden multiplication of plays
In which the animal and vegetable
Kingdoms take the chief parts. The
genre Is, Of course, as old as Aesop,
but the new century has touched 1t
with fresh tenderness, a new sense
of the kinship of all life. Some day
a German doctor of sociology will
make research studies and decide
what hidden influences are at work. In
the middle of the nineteenth century
the peasant and the plain man rose
suddenly to the pinnacle of romantic
attraction. Up to this time literature
had concerned itself chiefly with the
aristocracy. II the peasant was in
troduced, 1t was as jester, a money
maker, laughing interlude. But the
tragedies, difficulties, the shining gifts
of life seemed to belong only to those
of distinguished social position.
Is 1t the influx Of religious ideas
from the east; Is 1t, perhaps, an ef-
feet of the renewed interest in the
mystic consciousness, "the Call Of the
Whole, the sense Of the unh oxen
links of life, that has sent the drama
itself to the life of the trees and in
animate objects, of barnyard fowls
and insects, for characters ?-Har.

How Matches Arc Made.

Certain kinds Of matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks:
others are cut both ways by saws. In
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. BY
some machines boiled or steamed
log is revolved on Its own axis, and
shaver the thickness of match Is
cut round and round. This shaving
Is at the same time cut into lengths
and split into match sticks. 1t may
be said that there Is hardly limit
TO the varieties of methods employed.
round matches are made by forcing
them through dies.-Harper's Weekly

All She Wanted.

Six-year-old Anna was going to have
a birthday party to which Wilbur, her
little playmate, was invited. Meeting
her on the street few hours before
the appointed time for the party, he
conided to her that he could not come
because he had been unable to get her
a present. Anna smoothed 1t over by
saying: "Oh. that's all right. Wilbur.

IDEAS for Porch, Garden, Excursion
and Picnic Parties.

lucas TOT Porch, Garden, EXCURSION
and Picnic Parties.
This is the heyday of the picnic
season, when we flee to the woods If
we can; If not we satisfy ourselves
with day in the park supper on
the beach. or a quiet porch party at
home.
The really enjoyable affairs are
those arranged without much prepa-
ration.
| Wooden plates, aluminium forks,
spoons and cups are not expensive
and tighten the weight of the picnic
basket. Paper napkins will be
found to answer every purpose and
| are a great saving when laundry
work bust be considered AS these
outings are for special rest and
health, care should be taken to pro-
vide only easily digested foods, es-
pecially where there are children.
Older people may indulge in fancy
dishes and highly seasoned salads.
but the children should be spared. A
cheap chatting dish is a convenience
IN which one may prepare a Clipped
beef. creamed; creamed eggs or
rarebit. These, with bread and but
ter sandwiches, a simple salad and
coffee. make pleasant first course.
Fruit alone may follow as dessert.
Sandwiches are in endless variety
these days. Chopped meat or fish
rubbed to a paste with cream, butter
or mayonnaise dressing and spread
on thin slices of either brown or
white bread, make a nourishing,
wholesome sandwich.
Sandwiches should be wrapped In
waxed paper Salad sandwiches are
nice only when fresh, as standing
only an hour will spoil their crisp
ness and make them unpalatable.
Fruits are always acceptable both as
food and drink They quench the
thirst and satisfy the hunger without
adding burden to the body. The salts
and acids they contain cool and thin
the blood
Tomatoes are easily carried and
served on lettuce make a pleasant
addition to meat sandwich.
Water is the best, most wholesome
and cheapest drink. Lemonade is a
great favorite, but should be used
sparingly If serving other fruit in
quantity. The lemon juice may be
extracted and carried in bottle.
Garden and porch parties differ
from picnics in both arrangements
and serving. The kitchen being with
in easy reach, dainty entrees, salads
and ices are possible to serve. One
large table may be arranged on the
porch or under the trees or small
tables may be scattered about.
If hot dishes are to be served the
preparations may be made early in
the day. Croquettes and outlets may
be fried, placed on a paper in the
oven and reheated in a few minutes
in hot oven.
Cold dishes like pressed chicken,
deviled tongue, or salads are to be
chosen by those who wish to enter
tain on small means and with linn
tied help. Where wise forethought
and planning are done forty persons
may be nicely served by single
maid.

may say about it. I believe the Jack,
old man, / saw play last night that
was great; you must see it, has more
effect in making play a success than
any praise from the newspapers. 1t is
this word of mouth praise for a play
that brings the long run. l think
Smith is the kind of play that talks
itself over among all classes of people
who see it. I do not regard it as a
problem play, thought all plays, in a
sense, are problem plays, for the
manager and actors. at least. But
it is not a problem play preaching a
sermon; preachy plays never succeed.
People do not go to the theatre to
be preached at; they go to the theatre
to be amused. A drama should be a
mirror of life as it is, faithfully re-
flecting its virtues and it's vices. And
often the simple portrayal of the vices
of society, without any attempt to
draw a moral therefrom, will do more
good than railing at them or preach
ing against them; like the slaves of
the Spartans, you know, made drunk
as a deterrent example to the youth
of that city. Some plays have no
other reason for existence than to
amuse. There. is and always will be
a field for these. They serve their
purpose of furnishing an evening s
amusement. Serious plays. comedies
of life, must be true to life; their
characters must be natural men and
women who do and say things that
are probable, or at least possible. l
