Americans Great Match Users,

Every man. woman and child In
this country uses an average Of ten
matches each day." remarked J. A.
Hunter Of New York, representative OF
a large match company. 1T is es.
timated that the match manufacturers
of the United States turn out every
day more than 1,7O0, 900 900 matches.
OF this output 1000, OOO, 900 are con.
sumed In this country. Our people
have come to be very extravagant in
the use of matches. A decade ago q
pipe smoker might keep his pipe go
ing by way Of the kitchen fire and a
pipe lighter; today he wouldn't think
OF 1t. The greater use of cigarettes
also has increased the consumption
OF matches, as have gas and gasoline
stoves, which are continually turned
off and relighted.
There has been an increased manu-
facture Of patent lighters and a new
style of gas stove with patent lighter
attached, and these have helped to u
the sale of matches, but only to a
small extent"

two great stars shone together, their
exceeding brilliance making the lights
OF the other stars ashamed, 80 that
those two flashed alone from the clear
sky. That was what we saw, and It
was a marvellous thing that we could
see them thus, for one was the great
est star of all, Jupiter, and the other
was the most beautiful of all, Venus,
and n was q hundred million
miles from us, and Jupiter five times
as far as from us, and four times as
far from Venus. And still, there they
were, SO close together that it seemed
we could have taken them both in one
hand. Five hundred million miles of
beauty and light is very far beyond our
understanding, and 400, 900, 600 miles
IN the space of a hands breadth Is
likewise incomprehensible. But we
saw 1t as a simple, perfect thing, two
stars in a winter sky. Two stars in
a winter sky-and suddenly we felt a.
greatness more vast than 500. DOC. 600
miles, even 500, OO0, 900 miles of beau
ty and light. The snow and the win.
ter air and the quiet houses were a.
part of it. We were a part of it. A
hash OF the understanding OF great.
ness is worth many little days and
nights. And the mystery of it was
that we saw the greatest stars as lit.
tie things. and thus felt their great
ness and ours and the greatness of
all things.-Exchange.

many a farm where the raising of hogs
is not the main occupation but is
conducted on a smaller basis. 1t is

Orders in Council, Censorships, the

LONDON. August 1S-Various in
huences, particularly Englands policy
toward Ireland, are arousing suspicion

says the Manchester Guardian, in a
long editorial today. These facts can
not be ignored, it asserts, for the

will be necessary if a lasting peace is
to be brought about by league of
the liberal pacific powers of the

The Guardian suggests the British
orders in council, the censorship, the
blacklist and interference with neutral
mails have tended in some degree to
ALLEVIATE American sympathy from
Great Britain and her allies, and con-
tinues:
But these matters are comparatively
unimportant in days such these, and
if there were nothing else to be con-
sidered we would be justified in con-
Guiding that there was no reason to

Hope of Reconciliation Fades.

The reign of Sir John Maxwell at
Dublin has made an end, perhaps for
years to come. of all hope of reconcil-
ing that large element in the United
States which, until with the home rule
act we began to redeem the past in
ireland, had been by tradition and
practice irreconsilable." 1t adds:
"One of our greatest assets when the
war broke out was the cordial neutral
ity of the American people, made pos
sible by the restraint and somewhat
reluctant sympathy of American irish.
That we sacrificed, and the loss is like
ly to color the politics and behavior
of the United States toward US until
the end of the war, or until such time
as a complete change can be brought
about in our Irish policy.
I'VE cannot ignore this fact, much
as we may regret it. for the active CO.
operation of the United States is an
essential condition to any such league
of the liberal pacific powers OF the
world as alone can give US an assur-
ance of stable peace.
