Matches Used in the World.

It has been estimated that, for each
minute of time, the civilized nations
Of the world strike 100000 matches.
This is said to be the average for ev-
cry minute of the "a hours of the day.
Fifteen hundred billion is the num-
Der for the entire year, and those
persons who live under the American
flag are charged with the consump-
ton of one-half of this amount. Small
and Insignificant as it is, the match
demands as much attention in the
choice of woods involved as any other
forest product. Only the choicest por-
tons of the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood and knotty or cross-grained
wood will not do Instead of being a
by-product, the little match is turned
out in mills where the by-products
are bulky objects like doors, sashes,
shingles, sidings, posts and cordwood.
The pines, linden, aspen, white cedar,
poplar, birch and willow are the most
suitable match timbers.

Great Question Solved.

The French academy has solved a
great question, its savants having
traced the antipathy for the mother
in-law to the red man. In the six
teenth century the Spaniards brought
back with them, besides gold and
legends, the story Of the hatred of the
mother-in-law among the aborigines.
The noble red man would not walk
in the footsteps of his squaw's mother
till the sea had washed them away, so
profound was his detestation of his re-
lation by marriage.
This hatred, the academicians
think, was a relic of the feeling en-
gendered in the days when man stole
his bride by force. Naturally his dis
position toward his mother-in-law was
not that of an admirer.
We are living down the mother-in-
law bogie. Unlike the red man, a
good many of us could walk in her
footsteps with great benefit to our
selves.
