A Surprising Story of Matches. Brooklyn Engle. The civilized nations of the world strike ft,000,000 matches every minute of the twenty-four hours. Nearly one- half of these are ignited in this coun try. Americans use up the enormous total of seven hundred billions a year, and have a larger match bill than any other nation in the world. Hundreds of factories over the country are en gaged in this industry, about which the general public knows little. Some of the plants are very large, one on the Pacific coast covering 240 acres, with thirty-two miles of railroad, which sup ply the match machines with 200,000 feet of sugar pine and yellow pine logs a day. A statement of the number of cubic feet of wood which actually is convert ed into matches each year would con vey only an inadequate idea of the number of trees required for the indus try. For the manufacture of the match the best grade of wood is nec essary. Sapwood, knotty or cross- grained timber will not do. This makes it necessary to search the best forests and pick out the choice trees only, and nothing hut the choice por tions of the best tree3 go to the match machines. Jt may be seen that the lumberman sweeps over a wide area in search of suitable timber to feed into the match machines. Seldom is the little splinter tipped with sulphur, or some other substances to he ignited by friction, given even scant, mention in the consideration of the depletion of the world’s finest for ests. Hut the manufacturers of these little fire-sticks are as much concerned over the timber supply question as any would not apply to another. Nearly are nn t interested in the fight that ap- overy manufacturing company has p 0 ars to he going on between the two machinery made specially for its use, land covered by patents, and it also em ploys processes discovered or devised \ by its own chemists and mechanics, I and kept secret to prevent rivals from obtaining and profiting by them. Some time ago an American company sold the right to use its special machines in I g rown made a campaign for the Clov- France, obtaining $100,000 in cash and j emorship against Mr. Smith and beat an equal sum yearly as royalty. This him, notwithstanding the fact that it shows how much a match manufac- was custom to give a Governor a turer will pay to get the best. Only I secorK | term as an indorsement of his by using the best that is obtainable is i administration. If there is a feeling of factions for political advantage. What they want is legislation that will best promote their interests. In the making of laws they expect the Legislature to forget that Mr. Smith, when Governor, removed Gov. Brown from the office of Railroad Commissioner, and that Gov. competition possible. A single machine has been known to turn out 177,926,- 400 matches in one day—boxed and labeled ready for shipment. A Histrionic Difficulty. The Shakespeare Club of New Orleans used to give amateur theatri cal performances that were distin guished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with a gorgeous costume, as one of the lords in waiting, had only four words to say : “The queen has swooned.” As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the king and said, in a very high- pitched voice: “The swoon has queened. ” There was a roar of laughter, but he waited patiently and made another at tempt : "The sween has cooned.” Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said, in a voice which could be heard all over the house: “Come off, you doggoned fool.” But the ambitious amateur refused to surrender, and in a rasping falsetto, as he was assisted off the stage, he screamed : “The coon has sweened!” A little town near Providence, R. I., boasts a church whose pastor, besides being an eloquent preacher, is a man of stalwart proportions. At one of his evening prayer-meetings the services were disturbed by two young men who audibly scoffed at everything they saw >ther class of men engaged in an in- depends on the \ or heard, finally the pastor remon- ' strated with them on their behavior, dustry whose welfar use of forest products. It might be supposed that because matches are small the makers of them would utilize scraps and left-overs. This is never the case; matches are not by-products. The match machine takes the finest timber and what it re jects goes to the by-product yard, and Ihe by-product end of the match busi ness becomes the largest end, so far as bulk is concerned. Among the by products turned out by the large Pacific coast factory just mentioned are 1,000 doors and 800 sashes daily. As a matter of fact, it would he im possible to carry on the match business at all, at present prices, if the rejected lutnler were not worked into some thing else. The room where matches are made is frequently the smallest department of a match factory. The larger portions contain the saw-mills and planing mills, where doors, sash, shingles, laths, sidings, posts, cord- wood and many other salable commod ities are made ready for market. This country, although it has the most abundant material and the finest machinery in the world for the pur pose, does not manufacture enough matches to supply the home market. Thousands of dollars worth are annual ly imported from Germany, Austria, France, Sweden and other countries, where they are made by cheaper labor and poorer machinery, and usually from higher-priced wood, though it is not better than what is grown in the American forests. The imports are largely safety matches which can be struck only on the box or other special ly prepared surface. Wood for matches is a much more serious problem in some of the Euro pean countries than it yet is in the United States. The most suitable match timber is pine, linden, aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch and willow. Others, however, are occasionally used. Germany imports willow and aspen from Russia. Some time ago the Ger man match manufacturers petitioned the Minister of Agriculture to cause the foresters to plant aspen in the State forests to supply wood for matches without importing it. A sim ilar petition to their Government was presented by the French manufacturers of matches who wanted a home sup; At the same time the Russian manu facturers of matches asked their G ernment to take measures to check the export of match wood to foreign countries, because the material was needed at home. In the United States, as well as Canada, a diligent search for choi forests is maintained, ami very large tracts have been bought by companies in the match business, not only to meet present demands but to provide for years to come. In a single year one match company cut 225,000,000 board feet of pine in the lake region. Tk« and asked them why they attended the meeting. “We came expecting to see miracles performed,” impudently replied one of the rascals. Leaving the pulpit and walking quietly down the aisle, the pastor seized one after the other by the collar, and, as they disappeared out of the door, remarked: “We don’t perform miracles here, but we do cast out devils.” The “Rock of Moses” lies in the wild valley at the base of Jebul Musa, the Mount of the Law in the peninsula of Sinai. The rock is 18 to 20 feet high, slightly inclined, a rough inden tation running over each side, which is intersected here and there with slits, and the stone is worn away in places as if from the effects of running water. It is beyond doubt the oldest lengendary object in the vicinity. The Koran refers to this rock more than once, and from these allusions rose the reverence of the Bedouins, who hold it sacred. From the Middle Ages onward it has been visited by Christian pilgrims, who have carved rude crosses on its sides. “Humph!” says the lady with the ex tra supply of artificial pull's. “Just listen to this crazy stuff in the woman’s department of this magazine: ‘To retain your husband’s interest in you remember the little traits and ways and mannerisms that won his affections. Be coy, be vivacious. Flirt with him.’ ” Well,” responds the lady with the shiny nose, "that seems to me to be good advice.” “Humph! To retain your husband’s interest in you, flirt with somebody else’s husband, my dear.” Cheer up! Don’t kick because ycu have to button your wife’s waist. Be glad your wife lias a waist, and doubly glad you have a wife to button a waist for. Some men’s wives have no waists to button. Some men’s wives’ waists have no buttons on to button. Some men’s wives who have waists with buttons on to button don’t care a con tinental whether they are buttoned or not. Some men don’t have any wives with waists with buttons on to button, any more than a rabbit. Traveler—Say, my boy, your corn looks kind of yellow. Boy—Yes, sir. That’s the kind we planted. Traveler Looks as though you will have only half a crop. Boy —Don’t expect any more. The landlord gets the other half. Traveler (after a minute’s thought) —Say, there is not much difference between you and a fool. Boy—No, sir. Only the fence.— Judge’s Library. The fence surrounding the water melon patch is one of the things lightly passed over. bitterness between these two men and their immediate followers it ought to be confined to them. It ought not to be allowed to appear in the Legislature and affect legislation. If it be true that Mr. Smith’s friends are trying to shape legislation so as to make Gov. Brown’s administration a failure, they are making a mistake, if they plan to to beat him in the next gubernatorial election. The people are not asleep. They are very wide awake. One of the reasons why Gov. Brown defeated Mr. Smith in the last gubernatorial contest was the resentment the people felt against Mr. Smith for removing Mr. Brown from the office of Railroad Commission er without sufficient cause. And if the mpression gets abroad that Mr. Smith and the politicians who are in sympathy with him are trying to put Gov. Brown in a hole, as it were, the resentment against Mr. Smith and his faction will be even more pronounced than it was in the last gubernatorial campaign. IJ: is but natural that Gov. Smith should feel sore over his defeat. Any other man would feel just about as he does, but the people are not going to feel any more kindly toward him if he uses his influence to defeat legislation which they want and policies which they approve. If he is pursuing that course he is not strengthening himself and his faction. He is only making more friends for Gov. Brown, because the people believe in a square deal, and they will insist that Gov. Brown shall have it. If he doesn’t get it from the Legislature he will have only to place the situation squarely before them in order to get another term and a Legis lature that will be more responsive to his wishes. One summer evening a miller was leaning over his garden gate facing the road, enjoying his pipe, when a conceit ed young farmer happened to be pass ing. The miller, in a friendly tone, said: “Good evening, George.” “I didn't speak,” said George, gruff- A little chap was offered a chance to spend a week in the country, but refused. Coaxing, pleading, arguing, promises of untold wonders alike brought from him nothing but the stubborn ultimatum, “No country for ,ne!” “But, why not?” someone asked, finally. ■ ‘ Because, ’ ’ he responded, ‘ ‘ they have thrnshin’ machines down there, an’ it’s bad enough here where it’s done by hand.” A man down in Mississippi went to prayer-meeting one night. After the spirit got to moving he rose in his place and said: “Friends, I would like to confess my sins, but the grand jury is in session.” “Go ahead,” shouted the leader, “go ahead, brother. The Lord will for give.” “I know,” replied the penitent, “but He ain’t on that grand jury.” “What have you to offer to offset these charges?” asked the court se verely. “Not a thing, Jerige,” replied the prisoner, “not a thing, unless you can git my lawyer to divide. He seen me first. ” _ Anixous Mother—“Harold, don’t you know those are bad boys across the street for you to play with?” Little Harold—“Yes, mamma; but don’t you know that I’m an awfully good boy for them to play with?” fi BLOOD How often do we weep over comedies of deceit and smile at tragedies of conscience! Some people set good examples, expect others to hatch them out. but ® The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “ engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind ; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If tire blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish tiie nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of healing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions. S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be i mproved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich the blood and to invigorate and tone up the system. This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use. Today my blood is in fine condition and my general health is of the best. Am filling posi tion as fireman for a large concern here, and if I was not in good physical condition it would be impossible for me to fill the place. Your S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves. WM. F.

A liniment may relieve, but can’t cure. Backache comes from the inside— from the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills get inside— They cure sick kidneys. Here is Newnan proof that this is so: Mrs. J. T. Holmes, 20 Fair street, Newnan, Ga., says: “My advice to all in need of a remedy for disorder ed kidneys is to get Doane’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store and try them. I am sure that no other remedy could have proven of more value than they did to me. For several years I was a victim of kidney trouble. My back ached terribly, and I was subject to frequent attacks of dizziness. The kid ney secretions were badly disordered; in'fact, my general health was much run down. 1 took treatment at a min eral spring, and tried many advertised remedies, but my condition failed to im prove. About two years ago I chanced to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and be ing impressed in their favor, procured a box. They promptly relieved me of the trouble. A few weeks ago I felt a slight lameness in mv back, but on this occasion again used Doane’s Kidney Pills and was afforded just as prompt relief.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
