WATERPRooEINe MATCHES.
Simple Method That May Be Of Use
to Campers.

Si''P'S "SNhoo way SS VI SoS
to Campers.
Perhaps some of your readers would
be interested to know that l have
found simple, inexpensive way to
waterproof matches.
Into some melted paraffin (care be-
ing taken that it was as cool as pos
sible) | dipped a few ordinary par.
lor matches. After Withdrawing them
and allowing them to cool it was
found that they scratched almost as
easily as before being coated with the
wax. Several were held under water
for six or seven hours and all of them
lighted as easily as before immersion.
When the match is scratched the
paraffine is first rubbed off and the
match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to
light them than the ordinary match,
it would be practically impossible to
set them on fire by accidental drop
ping.-Scientific American.

Don't Snub Children.

Children love to be treated with
courtesy and respect. They resent
having their opinions and sentiments
snubbed, and parents might learn a
good deal from them and about them

more freely of all they think and
feel. We are hardened by the gather.
ing years, and we have lost our keen
est sense of what is the very truest

French "Tommies" and Their Bread.


The little loaves of bread supplied
to the French soldier have from time
immemorial been known by the name
of "boules de son" Qiterally bran
ballsD. Their origin dates back to
the First Republic. In the Middle
Ages the French Tommy Atkins" re-
ceived no rations, and had to depend
on what he could get from the enc
my. At later date a commissariat
department was created, and the sol
dier was allowed two loaves, of twelve
ounces, per diem. In 1890 the troops
received free rations of bread without
any deduction from their pay. This
bread contained little -four, but bran
predominated-henc the name, bran
balls" In 1870 1t was decided to sup.
ply bread made of -four only, but the
loaves continued to retain their old
lame. Now the "boule de son" is
about to disappear absolutely, and the
BRAVES soldats" will henceforth have
bread lighter and more nourishing
than hitherto.

Electricity to Purify Air.

When the transformation of cities
by electric power and light is compAet-
ed, we may expect the air to be plac-
tically as pure as that Of the coun-
try. 1t is estimated that the carbonic
acid exhaled yearly by the people of
a city of 100000 is about 100000
tons, but that this is less than per
cent Of that from fuel combustion.

Fibre. with three games won and one
lost
At a meeting of the sporting edi-
tors of the Wilmington newspapers on
Wednesday night it was decided to
restore the team standing to the
original figures. It being impossible
to play over certain games in which
Continental Fibre figured, that team
having dropped out Of the series.
The change was made when two
protests we're upheld against the Con-
tinental Fibre team. The games
which this team won against East
End and Widel we're taken off the
schedule as not played. Il means
now that the games which Widel and
East End lost 10 Continental will be
put against them in the lost column;
but the protests against Continental
still stand The games. however will
probably not be played over.
The correct standing of the league
