MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
10 Made Of Short Piece OF Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
sur point Of view, Is curiosity. For
one thing, 1t is not made of wood, but
S short piece Of cotton string. Sec
ondly, 1t has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about match with two heads. II one
fails to light there is another In re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
10 them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully In fair
oreeZe.
This Is because the cotton string Is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions Of them are made by hand in
laborlous fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents n day.
One match In Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights cigarette with fresh
one. he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use hext time.

First Fiction Known.

The oldest work of fiction extant
Is thought to be the Tale of Two Broth
ers," written $500 years ago by the
Theban scribe Ennana, librarian of the
palace Of King Menepthah, the sup.
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, 1t appears, was written for the
entertainment OF the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears in two places In the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature Of an Egypt

written on nineteen sheets of papyrus

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising of lucerne or alfalfa in
New Zealand Is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varle-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with a
total of @ 10 long tons per acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting liz tons of Peruvian per acre,
12% tons of Poitou, Tx tons of Rus
sian, II tons of Spanish, II 1-3 tons
of Hungarian, II tons of Patagonlan,
and 14A tons of Marlborough lucerne.
1t is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
into hay, would give an approximate
yield of 31a tons each, which at $19.40
per ton gives total value of $6S.13
per acre.

There Is still talk in some quarters
of Wales of German invasion. A
thousand years ago, however, inva-
slons were quite n common thing along
the Welsh shores. The Vikings came
and went pretty much as they pleased.
They burnt and massacred in a
way that would have delighted the Ger
mans. On one occasion they burnt
st. Davlds, and actually cooked and
ate the blshop-which, no doubt, de-
lighted the antichurch people Of those
days. On the other hand, when the
Welsh caught Viking they tlayed him
alive and nailed his skin to the church
door. There was no softness with
prisoners such as is exhibited today.

ishes on cities, and perchance, as 1t

but solitary marsh hawk to have
his wings gilded by 1t, or only a mus

there is some little black-veined
brook in the midst Of the marsh, just
beginning to meander, winding slowly
round a decaying stump, We walked
