To Waterproof Matches.

One of the CenmoneSt experiences of the camper $ that of finding that matches are So damp that they will not strike. All this trouble nay be avoided by providing oneself with waterproof matches. These are easily made In the following way; Melt a few Jumps of candle wax in an old can on the stove. Allow this to cool a little and then. before 1t has set, dip the matches in, one at time. Treat the heads and about half of the wooden part Place the matches on one side to cool Matches treated In thls simple manner have been soaked in water for many hours, and they have ignited as readily as those which were perfectly dry. The only differ ence is that, In striking, it Is needful to do so a tritie more firmly so as to get through the thin film of wax surrounding the head. When once the flame starts, the match burns very readily, owing to the wax which had adhered to the wood. Any ordinary matches can be treated in the manner described.-S, Leonard Bostin in St. Nicholas.

EARTH NOT REALLY CROWDED
Trouble ls That Nature Has Not Seemed to Arrange a Division
 That Ia Equitable.

Somebody has reckoned that If the earth's population had increased 4h per cent every hundred years since the hlrtb of Christ, by now there would not be standing room left on the globe, Including all the islands. Yet Englan,i and Wales In ten years increa sed their population I6l per cent, and the in crease in the United States hus been much greater.
 The earth's population at the pres ent time is als3ut sixteen hundred mil liQn. Different parts Of the earth vary greatly in the matter of density of pop ulation. Certain portions of China. the Ganges valley, and parts of Europe nre too crowded for comfort. On tue other hand, large tracts of Central Asia, Russia, the Americas, Africa uGd Australia could accommodate many more people.
 The Turks by their religious fanati- cism have caused devastation in the last five hundred years in the valley of the Danube, In Macedonia, Asia Minor, Syria, and Mesopotamia. These countries, as q result of massacre and. famine, are dried-lp desertS-Popular Science Monthly.

Use the Hours Wisely,

Many men whose time had never been turned to account until they were past 40 have still had enough left to accomplish great things in the world
 But these are the most sincere mourners for the years that might have been utilized.

Native and Foreign Con" Men Prey on Ignorance-500 Enlisted

 Berlin, July 26.-The business of making living by playing upon the credulity and ignorance of the peo pie, which has been developed into a skillful and lucrative profession in Germany during the past two years, now is practiced by thousands of men and women, the majority of whom are living luXuriously in Berlin, recent in- vestigations have disclosed.
 The investigations grew out of the unusual number of mysterious ad vertisemeats' which have been ap- bearing in virtually all the provincial newspapers and showed that graph ologists, hypnasts, astrologers and the apostles of personal magnetism were reaping big financinal rewards.
 There are 300 persons in Berlin en- gagged in the occupation of interpret Ing the stars, at a few marks per head and tEey are reported very busy. Their clients are drawn from the poor CT classes, many of whom cannot af- ford to buy sufficient food for them selves and dependents and have turn ed to the fortune-tellers in an effort to learn if the future holds out any hope for them
 More than 1000 persons are making living here by interpretation of handwriting, claiming to be able t5 read characters and forecast the fu- ture. Many of them are said to be neducated and hardly able to read any kind of wciting. Their customers are chiefly women and girls.
 The doctors of hypnotism and magnetism recruit their patrons from all classes of society, large per centage being the rich and the idle who are seeking intertainment or simp. ly ar experimenting. It is asserted that among the students of "Hypno- tlsm" there are also many question. able characters, working under the impression that knowledge of the occult will help them in picking pock- cts or robbing rich householders.
 A number of charlatans have in. trlenged on old American patents and after advertising that they have the secret of making million marks in a few minutes-a secret they will sell from five to 50 marles-and having the five pr the 50 marks they send back the urt formula: Make it as we do'

He is mak- ing arrangements to handle cotton at Conway during the coming season upon a much more extensive scale than heretofore, he said.
