A novel method Of carrying matches
on ones person In the wet without
having them become soaked is de
scribed by Jack Welch in Outing. His
prescription is to immerse box OF
safety matches in paraffin until a solic

may be broken when desired. Wher
the match is scratched the coating OF

also off the composition abrasive OF
the box. thus permitting the match
to ignite. This is a simple expedien.

OLD PROPHECIES FULFILLED.

Constantine, the new king of
Greece, fulflls so many prophecies
that even the most skeptical must be
moved to the opinion that there must
be something in them. Recently it
was pointed out that a medieval
monk prophesied that Constantinoplc
would fall when Venice gave the
church a Pope and the Greeks had a
king named Constantine. An even
more startling prophecy which fits
the new king has just been unearth-
ed. 1t appears that in 1888, accord
ing to letters sent to the king Of
France from his ENJOYS at Constan-
tinople, the city was much perturbed
in consequence Of a sentence mysteri-
ously inscribed one night on the
Golden Gate, 'When a fair-haired
king comes from the west, l shall
open to him." King Constantine is
decidedly fair-haired.

Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker
of the National House of Represen-

"A great many newspaper wits shoot
their shafts at chautauQua lecturers, and
certain purse-proud editors undertake to
make it sin for a public man to lee
ture for pay. They think it the height
of sarcasm to refer to public man as
a chautauquan. There is one great vir-
tue in chautauqua money. 1t is clean
money. You do not have to explain
where you got it. If man does not
desire to go to hear lecture, there is
no law to compel him to do so.
The chautauqua has been a powerful
force in directing the political thought OF
largely sociological in these latter days.

"The chautauqua affords one of the
best opportunities now presented the
public speaker for the discussion of ques-
tions of interest to the people. The au-
dience is select one and always COM
posed of the thoughtful element of the
community, and as they pay admission
they stay to hear. believe that con-
siderable part of the progress that is
now being made along the line Of moral
and political reforms is traceable to the
influence of the chautauqua."
