. of silence.' MATCHES OF OLD -Tl
There has come into modern life a ——
greater variety of sound anU a greater
volume than .assailed the cars of our
ancestors. To keep one’s freshness
there ought to be a zone of silence
around every human being duriug some
part of ttie day. The finest creative
work is done, as a rule, in seclusionv
not necessarily apart from men nor in
solitary placed, but away from the* tu
mult and away from distracting
sounds. There was organized iu Paris
years ago a society for. the culture of
Bilence.- On the 1 occasion of the initia
tion of a distinguished man of letters a
bowl of water was brought out to him
in a room where he w'ns waiting in
solitude. He studied it a moment,
placed a rose upon it and sent it back.
The water bore the rose without over
flowing. To the members assembled in
another room the act was tlio most
convincing evidence that the Initiate
comprehended the purpose of the fel
lowship aud was prepared in spirit to
become one of the company. The act
was a symbol which Americans may
wisely study.—Good Health.
English HniUvnyN mid Form.
It is seldom that there is a sufficient
ly heavy fog on an American ruilway
*to cause serious inconvenience that uo
special precautions are taken, but in
England u heavy fog Js so common
that there is a regular service made up
of the repair gangs, who take the place
of the mechanical signals. Every dis
tance signal is guarded by a signal
man, who Is supplied with flags aud
torpedoes, the latter being called de
tonators, while the signal men are
pointsmen. Two torpedoes are placed
on the track to warn the engineer when
the signal is set at danger and are sup
plemented by a red lantern in the
hands of. the signal man. As the tor
pedoes cost a cent and a half each uud
are used In great numbers there Is a
machine supplied by which the second
torpedo is forced from the rail by the
force of the explosion of the first, ns
only one Is necessary, the second being
merely a precaution.
Tlie Chow Dor.
The chow, the solemn, black tongued
dog wblcb comes from China, is, the
London Chronicle thinks, fhe ideal city
dog. It says: ''He never burks unless
there is something serious to bark ut,
You open the door, aud the dog march
es out with fine solemnity. This writ
er’s chow has a range of ubout ten
square miles, and he has never hurt a
baby, though be has gathered innumer
able friends during his solemn march
through London. He never loses his
head, and his morning walks embrace
Chelsea, Putney and the sacred pre
cincts of the Brompton oratory. In
deed, he once followed a bicycle to
Hendon and found his way back with
in forty-eight hours with an honorably
empty stomach. The unaccompanied
chow is the very least of the nuisances
of the London streets.”
Artificial Honey.
The honey had some foreign sub
stance in it—the leg- of a bee and a
shred of broken wing.
• “Well,” said the wife of the food'ei
pert, “this is pure at any rate.” She
held up the bits of bee on a fork before
her husband: “No benzoic acid, for
maldehyde, boric acid or salicylic acid
here, eh, John?”
But John, the food expert, laughed
scornfully. “Those bits of bee in the
honey,” he said, “prove Its artificiality.
Genuine honey never has dead bees in
it. They who, make genuine honey are
too clean and careful for anything of
that klndjo happen. It ls s as rare to
find in real honey a bee’s wing or a
bee’s leg as it is to find in a loaf of
bread a baker’s band or foot.”
Bagging the Grape*. /'
Immediately after the grapes have
blossomed cover the bunches with two
or three pound manila grocers’ bags,
according to the size of the variety.
This Is pre-eminently a fruit garden
method, although commercial growers
often use It. It is the surest and often
the most practical way of securing per
fect bunches. Tie or pin the mouth of
the bag firmly; leave no opening tp
catch water. Cut a small piece off the.
lower corner of" the bag, so that no
water will stay in it. Leave the bag
on until the fruit is ready to pick.—

Literary Coincidence.
Resemblance does not always mean
plagiarism. There was no plagiarism,
certainly, in Newman’s line, “The night
is dark, and I am far from home,'
though It has been pointed out that It
almost exactly reproduces a line In a
play printed In 1599. This play Is
“Two Angry Women of Abington,” by
Henry Porter, and the original line
runs, “'Tls late and dark, and I am
far from home.”
Tombstone Inscriptions.
Three of the commonest tombstone
Inscriptions are “In the midst of life
Sve are In death.” “His end was peace,”
“He tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb.” The sentiment of each Is com
forting and consolatory, but none
comes from the Bible.

Securing u Light With n Flint Win
a Teilloua Prune.., 1
Few persoiis living today remember
when the tinder box was a necessity.
But these few nre the only ones who
thoroughly appreciate the convenience
of mutches. With the nld of a tinder
box one sometimes obtained n light in
less than two minutes, hut If the con
ditions were unfavorable one might
Spend a half hour or mere before get
ting from tlie reluctant tinder box the
spark which would kindle the tire,
The process sounds simple. The lid
of the box was removed and a hit of
candle stuck iu the socket. Next the
flint, steel, matches nnd damper wore
taken from the box, one match belug
drawn from the bundlo nnd laid ready
for immediate use, The bundle of the
steel was grasped firmly In the loft
hand nnd the flint hold betwoen the
thumb aud forefinger of the right hand.
Niue Inches wns considered the proper
distance between the steel nnd the tin
der. Tills was measured roughly In the
dark by placing tho tip of the little
finger on the rim of the box, spreading
the hand upward and placing the bot
tom of the steel on tho tip of the
thumb. Tho flint wns then struck
sharply with the steel several times,
obliquely and downward.
Tho Impact caused the steel to give
off sparks, really mlnuto globules of
molten steel, at a temperature of sev
eral thousand degrees, and these, full
ing upon the tinder, soon set It alight.
The box was thou taken Iu tho hands
and gently blown to cause tlie smolder
ing tinder to glow more brightly, nnd
■to this glow' the point of n sulphur
match was quickly applied. The ilumo
of the burning sulphur quickly kindled
tho wood of the match, and it wns then
easy to light the candle or morning
fire. ’
Although the process was not diffi
cult for an expert under favorable ■cir
cumstances,, It ivas ut best slow und
tedious. One might strike 100 modern
matches, one by one, ih less time.
The flint commonly used iu the tin
der box was such as might he. picked
up in any flint district. All that wns
necessary was that It should be so
shaped that It could be held easily be
tween the fingers and should linvo
sharp, clear edges. These were com
monly sold In Hie streets of London'for
a penny and are still manufactured In
Brandon, England, for export to Spain,
Italy and Die east. The mutches then
.Ignite spontaneously when struck.
Originally a “mntcli” was any sub-
stunee'-v,filch burned reudlly and’ slow
ly. The lilt of slow burning hempen
rope pim ped In a solution of ■saltpeter,
which tlie. undent gunner carried In
ardor to discharge his arquebus, was a
“match.:' It burned ut thermic of
about three feet In an hour. The old
siujji'.’.r match was intended not to
p.rddf.-jo but to convey fire. In London
njntjhea wore commonly sold by the
poorest mid rnggedest class of street
merchants, who lived ill dirty lodgings
Iii the poorest districts, where they
made (lie matches, carrying them
ubout In a basket for sale. Few houses
with any pretension esenped without
' at least- one call a day fram.-these. vend
ers ns long as (he trade lasted.
The great difficulty wns' to find dry
tinder. Naturally it wns very ready to
absorb moijthre, and when allowed to
become Gamp the difficulty of obtain
ing a light m the morning wns groat.
To avoid this trouble the tinder box
was usually kept in a specially dry
place. Often there was a small niche
made on purpose In the brickwork ut
the • back of the largo open hearth
place. ' Often the box was placed hi
the evening on the hearth close to the
fire and at bedtime wus carried up
stairs warm nnd dry and placed be
neath the pillow.

A “nose tax" was In the ninth cen
tury exacted by the Danes from the
householders in Ireland. It was so
called not because It was levied on
noses, but from the fact that a failure
to pay was punished by slitting the
nose from tip to eyebrow.. It wus con
tinued during thirteen yeurs, when the
householders, objecting to this treat
ment of their nasal ornaments, rose In
rebellion, massacred all the Danes In
Ireland nnd put an end to the nose
slitting. ,
