A South-African Adventure.
It was on ,the afternoon of one of the hot
test days of an African summer. that I
left
lily farm to ascend the Draakensburg monk :
tains for the purpose of finding, if possible,
an eland, a 'species of antelope, to replenish
my larder for the coming -Christmas. I was
at the time living alone in a glen formed by
two spurs of the mountain, with but few
neighbors, And no town within fifty miles;
but as myKaffirs bad become sufficiently
civilized to understand that Christmas time
meant unlimited-eating, I wished, by pro
viding game, to save an ox. _lliad only five
or six miles to go, arid was well- mounted,
so I did not hurry, but.,
,leading my horse
up the steep pass, reached the place where I
intended to steep just asi the sun was set
ting,
The scene around, though quite different
froth our ideas of what it should be in De
cember, was very beautiful. There was no
snow; no leafless trees with their delicate
.tracery set off by the glistening hoar frost,
nor dark green firs bending under. their
white load; but still there was enough to
teatime standing; forgetful of firewood and
sill 'bad to do for comfort during the night.
I was on a narrow ledge of rock, sepa
rated from the network of hills beyond •by
a deep, perpendicular gorge, at the bottom
of which, so far down that I could hardly
distinguish it, ran a little burn. The set
ting sun gave the peaks that rich purple tint
seldom seen away from heather, and on the
other side, as far as the eye could reach, lay
the thorn-covered flats and bills of Natal.
Under the rock was a large cake, where I
had determined to sleep. It had in olden
times been a regular resort of the Bushmen,
but few came near it now; indeed, I had I
not known they came at all, but on going in
I found some calabashes and the ashes of: a
newly-made fire, which could have been left
only by them. There .were ,mtrilts on the
walls; though evidently of, great antiquity—
rude sketches tind drawings of horses, cat
tle, bows and' arrows, and even of a Bush
man riding. is curious that a race so low
(tow valet
oupronouncable clicks, and who, with the
exception of the use of fire, in their mode
of life differ but little from . the ape, should
have learned to do all this.. It may be that
it is a remnant of an old sign-language, - or
the last relic of some former civilization.
It was a full moon, and after admiring
the wonderfullights and shadows thrown
by it on the broken ground, I turned in and
slept till near daylight.
As soon as,l - Could see I started to hunt.
Much to my annoyance at the time though
I had afterward cause to be thankful that
my horse was spared such' a gallop as riding
down an eland entails, I could find nothing,
and could tell by , the .spoors that no herd
hadbeen about for some days. It was nearly
noon before I became convinced of this,
and tempted by the shade of a line of tree
ferns edging a little brook whose bubbling
sounded refreshingly amid the great heat, I
took my saddle off, knee-haltered Prince,
and laid down. Of course I spon dozed off;
but became awake again in about a couple

it was not the natural rousing up of a per
son who has been asleep; but a sudden re
turn to consciousness without any move
ment, and with all my Wits about me, and
that inward feeling, which perhaps some,, of
my readerti c may have experienced, of some
thing being wrong, and a tension of all the
powers of hearing to discover what it is. I
had not-long to wait. Whiz came a tiny
arrow, striking the stone on ,which my head
had been resting, 'mid where my cap still
was. It did not require much thinking to
know that a Bushman's hand held the bow
it came from, nor to determine that the
safest thing to do was to roil quietly into
the bed of the little , brook below me. Luck
ily this would afford good shelter, and I
could almost reach the edge with my hand.

me in the thigh, the only part not yet in

crouching at the bottom. " Why," the

about it—l reached the town at one a. m. ;
just eleven hours after I bad left. I had fin
ished the whisky on the road, and it was to
that the doctor ascribed my in' ultimate recov
ery. For nine days I wasa high fever
and delirious, and it was more than six
weeks before I got up, and for years after
ward the wound did not heal. Even to, the
present day it occasionally bursts out afresh,
and will probably continue to ilo so to the
end of my existence.—Chambers' Journal.

'borne In mind that making matchsticks is
one branch of business, appiyin the com
position another .- Sticks are only Made by
this company for the match manufacturers.
"Ater the pine'logs are reduced to plank,,
the next operation is to cut them into blocks
four and five inches in length by, means of
small circular saws. They 'are then thrown
into an'elevator and carried to the second
story, where they are assorted by boys pre.
paratory to hems fastened on the great
wheels to be cut into match sticks. ,- .
"At present the - company is .using pine
slabs obtained from the saw mills to manu
facture blocks. They are found to answer
"the purpose,well, as the lamb in them Is
of the best quality.. In thus utilizing the
refuse lumber there is a great ving of ' ei
cellent material hitherto destr ed or thrown
away—material enough to ma e a,small for l
tune. - .
• " Pew people have a correct idea of how
matchsticks are made. In the first place,
there is an immense wheel, twenty feet in
diameter, with a six feet face or _breast,
"much resembling an old-fashioned "over
shot" water wheel, on Which these blocks
are fastened in rows by means of clamps or
screws. The machinery is of such a,pow
erful character that the frame work on which
this ponderous wheel is hung is composed of
heavy oak timbers, twelve by sixteen inch
es, resting on a solid atone foundation 25
feet by 13, and 5l feet deep, laid in cement.
The necessity for such a firm foundation
will readily be seen when the testier is in
formed that this wheel makes twenty:one
revolution's in a minute, and must not wily
a hair's breadth in its motion. At present
the company have two wheels in optration,
and a third wheel will be added soon.
"The face of the wheel being s " loaded"
with blocks, the process of cutting the
sticks is_commenced. A rest, similar to an
iron lathe, is placed in frontof the breast of
the wheel, which is moved right or left, on
the lathe min - dole, ..Ity means of screws,
&c., on which a number afssniall steel cut
ters, with holes like an eyelet,"nre fastened.
These cutters ere adjusted so as to face the
blocks, and as the wheel revolvei each one
cuts a splint out' of the wood and drops it
below. There are-sixteen of these cutters
or punch-like chisels to each wheel, and the
number may be increased to thirty-two. if
necessary. ,
"The principle upon ,which the match
stick is made is the same as that used-in old
en times for making rake teeth round, which
consisted in driving a piece of wood through
a steel tool having a hole in it with sharp
edges. In this case the large revolving
wheel serves as the propelling power, and
forces the faces of the blocks, that arc se
curely fastened to its outer surface, through
time small steel eyelet-like bole in the end-of
the tool, and a splint is cut out almost with
the rapidity of lightning' and dropped be
low. The machine is so perfectly adjusted,
and works with such exact minuteness, that
it cuts one hundred splints front every solid
itmcli of timber—no more, no less. This
fact has been demonstrated.
" These delicate cutting tools j are, moved
horizonially at right angles witkthe face of
the wheel by a screw which moves the row
of cutters exactly the thickness Of a match
stick from-left to right at each revolution of
the large wheel. Each pair of cutters bins
a section of blocks to pass ,through—six,
eight, or ten inches, as the ease may be—
which, when Performed, _the tender, by the
him of a small wheel, brings back to the
st a rting point, sets the cutters by the turn
of another-Ismall wheel, and they start again
across the breast _ of Ake . huste_ wheel_ _As
tee otoca it assumes a corrugated appear
ance, net ' unlike the face of mm ordinary s
washboard, and when the machine starts on
, the next cut the .projections, forming ones'
half of the splint, are cut, oat, thus alter
nating the corrugations. s -
in ..
" The two machines now operation will
cut 24 gross of stick's (7,200 to the gross)
per minute, with 16 cutters toleach, or, in
the aggregate, 172,800 per minute, 10,368,-
000 per hour, or 103,680,000 per day of ten
hours. The quantity seems enormous, and
almost staggers belief, but. Such is the velo
city with which the machines are driven,,
and the multiplication of the sticks so rap
id, that there is no difficulty in producing
the number stated. - ' -
" When the wheels are in motion the
sticks fall from the cutters in a regular
shower and . are caught in a trough below,
through which passes a belt or elevator nine
inches in width, Which Carries them about
forty feet, where they-are passed into a se-r
ries of machines called shakers, with small'
j latticed bottoms, in which they are subject
-1 ed to a violent shaking as they pass through.
'This operation is for the purpose. of remov-
I ing all imperfect sticks and pieces of shav
ings. As they pass through-they are depos
ited in large cases ready to be carried to the
drying rooms.
`These rooms are three in number, - each
14 by 41 feet, the floors of which are cov
ered with a series of steam pipes. The box=
es containing the sticks have latticed bot
toms, and are placed upon these pipes in
tiers, one above the other, four 4 , five deep,
when the heat is forced through the entire
mass. Here they are allowed to rema'n for
a day and a night subjected to a to pera
i
lure of 120 degrees, which effectually rives
out all the moisture and albumen' in the
wood, rendering it almost as lig tas a fea
ther. As great care must b observed to
guard,against fire in these isi ms, perforated
pipes, with an indepcnd eft connection, aro
liberally provided, tit ugh which a suffi
ciency of steam-cm ,e forced in a moment
to extinguish fire i case of combustion.
." After mid: going the drying process, ,
the boxes .ntaming the sticks arc carried
to /mottle • series of shakers and i llicit. con:-
tents ti lied in. Here, by an ingenious ars
ran • tent, the sticks, as they arc shaken
u i by a lively , motion, are straightened, .
, hen they are deposited in metal boxes at
the Sower end of each machine, with circu
lar bottoms. - These boxes are made to hold
as many sticks as can be grasped f in the
hand, front whence they arc taken and
packed in cases ready for shipment/ to the
finishers, who apply the chemical col pound
for producing fire by friction; then they are ,
cut in two and placed in paper boxes ready,
for the market.
"The larger eases are calculated to hold
thirty-two gross of sticks, and it may be
mentioned as an interesting fact,, as well .as
to show the magnitude of the business, that
the company will require from six hundred
to one thousand cants per week. The value
lof these
,eases, it is, estimated, will reach
. fully If 30,00 Q per annum.
" The plain match stick may lee looked
upon as an insignificant item nt first sight,
but a moment's reflection will convince the
reader that an enormoessquantity issequired
to supply the daily consumption. As an ev
idence of this fact we are- ,gratified to state
that the company is already overwhelmed
with orders from match manufacturers in
the large cities, who are pressing their de
mands for sticks.- When fairly under way,
the company expect to ship one car load of
sticks per day . , and their trade will extend
to Cuba; Mexico, and South Amulets" .
The Latest Novelty for Ladies.
Whatever may be said of the aim or re
suit of the Vienna Exposition, it has cer
tainly been the means of 'bringing together
the choicest products of the world, and of
giving the .people of various' nation's new
ideas concerning matters of 'which they had
never before thought. Lino direction has
a wider range been given than in the manu
facture of glass; and newi.forms, designs,
and uses of this material are now presented
to the world for the first tine. Conspicu
ous among, these is a lady's bonnet or head
dress, which for elegance and beauty cannot
be excelled.. The idea of a glass hat is cer
tainly novel', and many objections might be
made to it on account of the - fragile mate
rial, but in reality the glass is much strong
or and more durable than the ddlicaterna
terial now, In use for'the same purpose.

they y
will probably soon come into'universal
! use. 'The - body of the hat is. made of loose

ribbons, all made of delicately spun glass
of wonderful beauty. or course all the 1
trimmings Have their natural colors, and by
a patent process the glassy appearance is so
well subdued that the material is- not sus
pected. The most beautiful hummingbirds
and flowers are used for ornanientation, and
colored so naturally_ that in appearance they
are far superior to the usual artificial goods.
The small amount of 'Wass that enters into'
the construction of one of these hats is al
most incredible, for the thread is so fine that
a great space is covered withoutanypercep•
tible increase in the weight. They weigh
but. a few ounces, or about onerfifth the av
erage weight of the present style. With
the care that is usually given by a lady" to a
new hat, these articles will outlast twenty
of them, for there is no . wear to them; moist
ure will not stain them, and if dust should
settle to dim their beauty, it is readily re
moved by, a gentle spray of water.- The
colors are so blended-that for ordinary oc
casions they present a general neutral tint,
but lit a small additional expense they can
be made to Hash and sparkle like diamonds,
either in the sunlight for a carriage costume,
or in the blaze of- , a. ball room, or at the• op:

understood several well known firms are,
going into the 'business extensively, they
may.soou be expected on our streets. It is
probable, however, they will not, be readily

up in a fur bag at his mother's back, and
wears a fur, cap upon his •head. We -all•

In India babies are carried in baskets on the

• - Too many persons who use the hoe sup
pose that the chief benefit derived from It is
to, kill the weedS. That certainly. fit at fin?
portant work, and which is greatly neglect
-cd.4. Weeds are not only in the way of cal
tiihting the crops which We plant, but they
rob them of much of the nutriment which
they need. , then, is au essential
service in respect to destroying the weeds.
There are other advantages, however,
which are quite commonly overlooked. Let
us see:
1. The loos•niug of the soil ill the oper-
ation of hoeing is beneficial to the plants;
as much as the destructiori of the weeds, or
more so.
2. Moisture abounds in the atmosphere
during the hottest months, and it is absorb
ed and retained most abundantly by ' a soil
which is in the most friable state: Prof.
Schluber found that 1,000 grains of BM'
clay absorbed in twenty-four hours only
thirty-six grains of moisture from the air;
whilst garden mould absorbed forty-five
grains; and fine magnesia seventy-six grass.
3. Then, again, pulverizing the soil en
ables it better to retain the moisture absorb
ed.
4. The soil, in order to be healthy and
active, must breathe. A light porous soil
'admits the air, and thus it is fed and great
ly invigorated by the atmosphere. -
(
4. The sun's rays beat a hard soil much
quicker than a loose one, - and the hotter the
soil is; so much greater will be the evapora
tion from it. Sci that the hard soil , is de
prived of its moisture much sooner Om
one of a loose texture.

much better than they can through a hard,

An English gardener, Mr. Barnes, of
Devonshire, in giving his opinion of the
importance of hoeing," said he " Cid not
agree with those who say one good weeding
is worth two hoeingS; I say never weed any
crop in which the hoe can be got between
the plants, not so much for the sake of de-,
'stroying weeds and vermin, which must nec
essarily be the Case if the hoeing be done
well, as for increasing the porosity of- the
soil, to-allow the water and air to penetrate
freely through it." lie adds: "I am well
convinced, by long and close practice, that
oftentimes there is more benefit, derived by
crops from keeping them well hoed, than
there is froth the manure applied. Steeds
or no, weeds,.l still, keep stirring the soil,
well knowing, from practice, the very bene
ficial effect it has."—,Neth England Parmer.

GRINDING E DGED TOOLS.--Edged tools are
fitted up by grinding very much as a plank
would be reduced in thickness were a large
plane employed. in whiCh were bet a hun:
dred or more very small! gettges,_each cut
ting a narrow groove. The sharp grit of '
the grindstone, tieing harder:than the iron of
steel, cuts very small channels in the Sur
face of the mhtal, and the.' revolving dies
'carries away all.the minute particles that are
detached by the 'grit. If we were to exam
ine the surface of a tool that has just been
removed from a grindstone, under the mi
croscope, it - would appear, as It were, like
the rough surflice of afield which has re
cently been scarified with some _implement
which formed alternate ridges and furrows'
Hence, as these ridges and furrows run to- '
gether froni bothsides at the cutting edge,
. the newly-ground edge seems to be formed
[ of a system of minute teeth, rather than- to
i consist of a smooth edge, 'For this reason,

as to wear the surface of the steel away rap

then it. is polished on a wheel of much
finer grit, and linally, in order to reduce
the serration as much as possible, a whet
est possible serration. A razor, for exam
ple, does not have a perfect cutting edge, as
Que may perceive by viewing it through a
microscope. And yet the serrations are act
ually so much smaller than the human hair
that the minute teeth cut the hair in twain;
but when the serrations on the edge of the
'razor become so battered up and dull that
they will not sever a hair, or cut a man's
beard off, the edge must be honed and strap.
pad until the system of minute teeth will
be so much smaller than a hair that several
of them will take lipid of the smallest hair
at once. These suggestions will furnish
something of an idea of the operation - in
grinding and whetting edged tools. -
Beginners are sometimes instructed when
grinding edged tools, to' have the stone re
volve toward the cutting edge, and some
times from it., When the first grinding is
being done, it is a, matter of Indifferenc
whether thi is done or not; but when the
finishing t uches are applied near and at
the very e re, a grinder caw always com
plete his t - k with a more accuracy if the
periphery f the grindstone revolves to
ward
ward the e tting edge; as the steel that is
worn away Will be removed more easily;
whereas, when a stone.runs in the opposite
direction, thd-grinder' can not' always tell
exactly when the side of the tool is fully
ground up tot the edge. This is more es
pecially true, when the steel has a rather
low or soft temper. The stone, when :run
ning from the edge, will not sweep away
every particle of the metal that hangs as a
:feather;" but when the stone revolves to-
Vard the edge, there will be no " feathered
edge" to.deeeive the eye of the grinder.--

SUNSTEOKE.—Dr. Geo. H. Hope, M. D.,
gives the following directions for the treat
ment 'of 'sunstroke until medical ail can be
obtained: "'Phis is a sudden pr stration

quickly followed by loss of consciousness
and prostration. Sometimes, however, the
attack is as sudden as a stroke of apoplexy.
The head is often burning hot, the face
dark and swollen, the breathing labored and"
snoring, and the extremities cold. Take
the patient at once tO a cool and shady place,
but don't carry him far to a house or hos-

A 00137) DISIMPFAVANT.--A pound of cop
perm dissolved in a gallon of water is said
to be the cheapest and most perfect disin
fectant to be obtained. Thrown into sinks,
cesspools, etc., a quart or two of copperas
water will at once do away with any un
pleasant smell.
STRAW FOR STRAWBERRIES.—An Illinois
correspondent of the Prairie Fanner states
that last year, as soon as the crop was.re
moved, he covered half df his strawberry
bed with straw, putting it on one or two, in
cites thick. The result this season WAS a
yield double that on the portion of the bed
