Soldiers Get Reading Habit.

The growth of the reading habit
among the soldiers has brought to light
an interesting contradiction TO the gen
orally accepted theory that among a
group of individuals the leveling proc
ess is a leveling downward.
The men in the camps who are read
ers stimulate by their example the in-
terest of those who are not. "Have
you read this story?" asks Private X
of Private Y. "Naw," replies Private
Y: II never read a book through in
me life well. y'oughta read this
one. It's a better'n any movie show
y'ever saw. It's a bear," Thus does
Private get an incentive to taste the
joys of literature. There is a ten
dency toward a leveling upward.
The valuable service of the libraries
is further developed by lectures, uni
~ersity extension courses, and the gen.
eral education plan. Men not only will
keep pace with their former civilian
activities, but many of them will
emerge from the army and navy bet
ter equipped for the battle of life

MEXICAN fiATCH 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
one thing, it is not made of wood, but
Is a 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 i'm re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice. rarely go out. One
can strike. them successfully i'm 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
laborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents day.
One match In Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights Il cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

MusicaIly Obedient.

Antonio was overawed by his sur
roundings when the first draft sent
him to the cantonment. And he con-
tinued to live in awe, particularly of
all officers, during the early days of
his training. While standing guard
one night, he was in such a flutter
when the corporal of the guard APP
preached, that he made his challenge
in 4 low voice which the non-com
could not hear.

said the corporal, 'or you'll get into
trouble. I'll take your word for it
that you challenged me. but when
the officer of the day comes around,
you'll have to sing it out or you'll get
a trip to the guardhOuse. Remember,
sing 1t out and sing it out loud"
Antonio vowed that he would make
no mistake that would get him in the
guardhouse. and when the officer Of

was greeted with

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising of lucerne or alfalfa in
New Zealand is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne- with a
total of 1-5 long tons per acre of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting 111a tons Of Peruvian per acre.
12A tons of Potion, 111a tons of Rus
sian, Il tons of Spanish. II Is tons
of hungarian, IA tons of Patagonian.
and 14A tons of Marlborough lucerne.
1t is estimated that the Pata gonian and
Marlborough lucerne. when converted
into hay, would give an approximate
yield of 31a tons each. which at $19.46
per ton gives a total value of S6S. 13
per acre.

First Fiction Known.

The oldest work of fiction extant
Is thought to be the s'Tale of Two Broth
ers," written 1920 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
ian king. This piece of antique fiction
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
in q bold hieratic hand, was purchased
in Italy by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold
IT in 1867 to the authorities of the
British museum. where it Is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.
