Match Sticks.

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

shaving 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 vari-
cites of methods employed. Round
matches are made by forcing them
through dies -Harper's Weekly.

Emmet's Presence of Mind.

A story is told of Robert Emmett
which proves his secretive power and
resolution. He was fond of studying
chemistry, and one night late, after
the family had gone to bed, he swal-
lowed a large quantity of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder. He Immediately dis.
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in
stantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk. Timid men would have torn at
the bell. reused all the family and sent
for stomach pump. Emmett called no
one, made no noise, but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable. scraped some
chalk which he knew to be there and
took sufficient doses of it to neutralize
the poison.

Queen EIizabeth's Amulet.

Queen Elizabeth during her last ILL.,
ness wore around her neck a charm
made of gold which had been be-
queathed to her by an old woman in
Wales, who declared that so long as
the queen wore it she would never be
Ill. The amulet, as was generally the
case, proved of no avail. and Eliza
beth, Notwithstanding her faith in the
charm. not only sickened. but died.
During the plague in London people
wore amulets to keep off the dread de-
stroyer. Amulets of arsenic were worn
near the heart. Quilts Of quicksilver
were hung around the neck and also

he bought fifty tons Of American borax

the price quoted to him in A1uerica

One of the most curious errors as to
seasickness is that it is a suffering
which the sturdier ancients did not
know. Really, there is plenty of al
fusion to the trouble in the ancient
classics. Above all. there was that
bout Of seasickness which, according
to Seneca, cost Cicero his life. 1t was
so bad that rather than endure 1t any
longer he put back to land, risking GER
tain death at the hands Of Mark An
tony's agents if they caught him, as
they did. The word nausea" is Greek,
meaning literally "shippiness."

The report Of the minority committee
or the senate on wages and prices of
commodities, signed by Senators 10
seph F. Johnston. James P. Clarke
and Ellison D. Smith. has been printed
as government document Every cit
lzen who is seeking information on
the causes Of the high cost of living
SHOULD have copy. The report is
ably written and contains some very
damaging criticisms of the majority
report issued a few weeks before.
The minority find that the tariff is the
main cause Of the high cost of living.
and they make strong case for this
view by giving specific instances of in
creases in duty followed by increases
in price; also by comparing prices un-
der successive tariffs.
The connection between high tariffs
and high prices is shown as follows:
Since 1890 we have had four differ
ent tariff laws. The following table
shows the average rate of duties ac-
tually collected under each and rela-
