Matches Used In tha World.
It baa been estimated that, for each
mtnuto of time, tbe civilised nations
of tbe world strike 3,000.000 matches
This la aald to be tbe average for ev-
ery minute of tbe 34 bourn of tba day.
fifteen hundred billion Is tbe num-
ber for the entire year, and those
para one who live under the American
flag are charged with tbe ^consump-
tion of one-balf of this amount. Small
and Insignificant na It la, the match
demands as mucb attention In the
choice of woods Involved as afiy other
forest product. Only the choicest por
tlona of the best trees are suitable.
Bapwood and knotty or crosa-gralned
wood will pot do. Instead of being a
by-product, the little match la turned
out In mills where tbe by-products
are bulky object* 'like doora, sashes
shingles, sidings, posts and cordwood
Tbe pine*, flnden. aspen, white cedar
poplar, blrcb and willow ar* the mos’
suitable match timbers.

On this point some very interesting
remarks were made by John Hash,
the Olaagow engineer surveyor.
He aald that, calculating tba

Owing to tbs number of suicides by

many deed to whom this Ate cannot
be paid, and In honor of these a
touching ceremony has bleu held la
Budapent. Severn! thousand persona
walked In solemn procession to the
bank of the Dam ho by lb* Frans
Joser bridge, and n wreath made of
leather was sunk in the water, while
tbe attendants uncovered tbelr beads
and aald prayers. On one side -of the
wreath tbe worda were embossed.
"For tbe salvation of those wbo died
In the Danube." and on the other aide.
"Do not take this o- \ but leave It
In tbe wnter" A layman then gave
an address. In which he extolled tbO
virtues of |innny of thoae who had
been driven to suicide, and
demned the church for refusing ltd
blessing to i heir bodies.

Great Question gelved.
The French academy has solved e
greet question. Its savants having
traced th* antipathy for tbe mother-
in-law to tbe rad man. In tbe six-
teenth century til* Spaniards brought
back with them, besides gold and
legends, tbe story of tbe hatred of th*
mpther-ln-Iaw among the aborigines.
'Tbe noble red man would not walk
fa the footsteps of hla squaw’s mother
till the sea bad washed them away, so
'profound was his detestation of his re-
’ latlon by marriage.
Thia hatred, tbe academicians
think, was a relic of the feeling en-
gendered 1a tbe'day* when man atola
bla brido by force. Naturally bis dis-
position toward bis mother-in-law was
not that of an admirer.
We are living down the mother-in-
law bogle. Unlike tha red man, •
good many of us could walk In her
footsteps with great benefit to our
selvae.
