MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
Is Made of Short Piece of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End

The Mexican friction match, from
our point of view, is curiosity. For
enc thing, it Is not made of wood, but
is short piece of cotton string. Sec
ondly, it has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about match with two heads. If one
fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice, rarely go out. One
car strike them successfully in fair
breeze
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
iaborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are
few cents a day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights a cigarette with fresh
one. he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

ton was buried in sleep. The sentry's
cry of "Alfs well !" could be heard dis
tinctly from it's shores.
AT dawn, 143 years ago, the Ameri-
cans at work were seen by the sailors
on board the British ships of war and
the alarm was given. The captain of
the Lively, the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put spring upon
her cable and, bringing her guns to
bear, opened fire upon the hill. One
man, among a number who had incau-
tiously yentured outside, was killed. A
subaltern reported his death to Colonel
Prescott and asked what was to be
done. BURY him." was the reply.
1t was the first fatality in the battle
mentous conflicts in our Revolutionary
history. 1t was the first regular battle
between the British and the Americans
and most eventful in its consequences.
The British had ridiculed and despised
their enemy, representing them as das-
tardly and inefficient; yet here the best
British troops, led on by experienced
officers, were repeatedly repulsed by
an inferior force of that enemy-mere
yeomanry--from works thrown up in a
single night, and suffered a loss rarely
paralleled in battle with the most vet
eran soldiers. According to their own
returns their killed and wounded, out
of detachment of 1000 men, amount
ed to 1864, and large proportion of
them officers. The loss of the Ameri-
cans was Ali out of 1900 men en-
gagged. So the number of casualties in
this battle was more than 80 per cent

What the Victory Meant.

A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,,
who fought so well for King George
that he rose to be full general in the
British army, regarded Bunker Hill as
transaction which controlled every
thing that followed. "You could not"
he would say to his friends on the 9TH
er side, shave succeeded without it."
'The rebels" Gage wrote a week af-
ter the battle, "are shown not to be the
disorderly rabble too many have sup
posed. In all their wars against the
French they have showed no such con-
duct and perseverance as they do now.
They do not see that they have ex-
changed liberty for tyranny. No peo-
pie were ever governed more absolute
ly than the American provinces now
are; and no reason can be given for
their submission but that it is a ty-
ranny which they have erected them
selves"
Bunker Hill exhibited the Americans
to all the world as people to be
courted by allies and counted with by
foes. 1t was a marvel that so many

so quickly and still greater marvel
that they had stayed together so long.
Move Forced on British.
After the engagement at Lexington
on April 10 the British force under
General Gage was increased to 10000
men by the arrival of Generals Howe,
Clinton, and Burgoyne with their CON-
mands from England. These occupied
the town of Boston on a peninsula ex-
tending into the harbor. The naval
forces consisted of the Falcon, Lively
Somerset, Symmetry, Glasgow, and
four floating batteries. Across the
Charles river, at Cambridge, and on
the surrounding hills, were encamped
between 10000 and 10000 undisci-
] plined Americans. The British, thus cut
| off from communication with the main

harbor, advanced in solid column
against the Notifications. Confidently
they approached the works. of the
Americans, constituting the silence on
the hilltop as timidity. They changed
their attitude on this point when they
arrived within a few hundred feet of
the redoubt. The Americans had been
silent, but they had been ordered to
refrain from firing until the command
was given. Thus it was the British,
advancing over the open stretch of
ground, painting from the heat and the
weight of their knapsacks, heard the
word "Fire!" at the moment of their
supreme confidence, and recoiled before
volley that moved down many of
their number.
British Line Decimated.
A deadly fire was poured into the
British columns, the marksmen of the
Americans picking off the officers.
Along the whole line of Notifications,
from the rail fence to the redoubt, the
British troops were soon in retreat.
The British columns advanced a sec
ond time and once more were met with
deadly fire. Now, however, they were
prepared for it; although staggered by
the shock, they soon rallied and con-
tinued their advance. The Americans
fired with such rapidity that it seemed

sition. Prescott
had sent for re-enforcements early in
the day, and John Stark, with his New
Hampshire company, had courageously
crossed Charlestown Neck under Sc
we're fire from the enemy. But the haz-
ard of the attempt deferred other COM
manders from bringing troops to the
support of the brave Prescott.
With ammunition almost exhausted
and troops tired out from the strain to
which they had been subjected, Pres
colt realized the futility of holding his
position in the face of repeated at
tacks by the reformed and REINFORCED
British lines. Nevertheless he deter
mined again to measure his strength
with the adversary; and, with COM
mand to his men to make every shot
tell, he awaited the advance of the
British. Again the latter were per-
mitted to advance within twenty yards
of the American works before they
were fired upon. The British line was
broken, but still it advanced. With
their powder now quite exhausted, the
Americans met their opponents with
dubbed muskets and bayonets.
The odds were too great and Pres
colt ordered his men to retreat. 1t
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren, one of
the most cherished of the popular lead
ers.

plated a movement to occupy the sew

chester, and adjacent points.
The arrival of such a formidable
force of the enemy caused the gravest
concern to the colonists. 1t was ru-
mored that the British would sally forth
from Boston and burn the neighboring
towns. 1t was to prevent this that the
Americans determined to ,fortify Bun
ker Hill; for, if the British should get
out of the city and intrench upon Dor
chester Heights to the south of Bos-
ton, the Continental position would be
made untenable.

THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants Of the
Emerald Island.

Ireland Is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds OF
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the EN-
erald Isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
ed (two) the gentleman every inch
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted Of descend
ants of Cromwelrs soldiers, who, If
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin B~reeches," or "Squireens."
The second class was composed OF
descendants of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other ~reasons), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for q living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbOne"-cOmprised the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor Of the
%peasantry pertaining to their domains.
