Their most striking peculiarity ns saddle animals, however, Is a strong objection to having their beads In any way pulled about by their riders. So long as their mouths are left alone they will amble along quite contented ly at a fair rate of speed, but If tbey are ridden by some one with a heavy band they show a tendency to stop at once, whipping round In a manner dis tinctly disconcerting to those who do not quite realize what Is going to hap pen.

Friction Matches. Friction matches are a comparative ly modern Invention. They were first made by John Walker In England In 1S27, but were rather crude affairs. He Improved them somewhat In 1S33 by using phosphorus. The first really practical friction match was made In tbe United States In 1830 by L. C. Al len of Sprlugfleld, Mass. Before this time n clumsy form of match was Im ported from France, which had to be dipped Into a bottle of sulphuric acid before It could be lighted. This took a great deal of time and trouble, and Allen, seeing the necessity for friction matches, set about to make them and succeeded. He neglected to patent them, however, and on finally apply ing for letters patent found tbat a man named Alonzo Phillips, who was a peddler, had discovered through a third person the secret of making tbe mutches and had already obtained a patent Thus Allen, though the real Inventor, was forced to become a mere manufacturer undor another man's pat ent Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
