than half the hes used in Eng- are made abroad . ORY MATCHES hade in England . box you buy means C WORK FOR SH WORKERS . LAND , GLOUCESTER . FACTS AND FANCIES . ORIENTAL ETIQUETTE . Ignorance of Oriental etiquette sometimes ade to awkward situations . An English lady eceived a morning call from a Japanese gen . eman , who , instead of making his first visit ery brief , as she expected , stayed to lunch . fter lunch he still stayed on , while the lady rew extremely weary of her visitor , and ery minute expected him to leave . Dinner me ; the Japanese was still a fixture , and e host took his turn at entertainment till so tired that he retired to his amok- g - room , and left his wife in charge st , just at midnight , the Japanese departed , ith most abject and elaborate apologies for hitting his ostess . Next day he confided to friend that he had never passed through ach an ordeal . According to Japanese eti- uette , the lady receiving the gentleman hould give the signal for his departure , so e thought she would never let him go , and mally he had to leave without her permission . was At BUTTER MADE FROM TREES . There are several trees that yield offy abstance much resembling butter and aking a good substitute for it . The Bassis utyraces , or the " shea butter , " as it is com- only called . grows wild on the West Coast Africa The butter obtained from this tree derived by pounding and pressing the eeds , which are three inches long . The seeds the crab tree of Brazil and Guiana are 70 per cent . fat . When boiled , the tallow turns but yellow butter . From the nutmeg a use- ul fat is obtained . A tree abounding in the orests of Africa and called by Kaffirs " ahig- ite , " yields a white butter - like substance hich constitutes important article ommerce on that continent . THE SILK IN A WOMAN'S DRESS . of Eighteen moths lay eggs that hatch into , 400 silk worms . 6,400 silk worms eat 2881b . of mulberry eaves and spin themselves 5-6lb . of cocoons . 5-61b . of cocoons yield 1-61b . of raw silk . 161b . of raw silk is woven into material nough to make oife woman a dress . WHAT MAKES WATER HARD . Rain water as it leaves the clouds is pure .. as it passes through the atmosphere it ab- orbs more or less carbonic acid gas and air which it carries with it into the ground . As it oaks through the upper soil it will generally bsorb still more carbonic acid gas from the decaying animal and vegetable matter almost lways present . Should the water fall on in- oluble rocks , such as granite or marble , it vill remain fairly pure . says Power . But if it asses through a layer of limestone the car- onic - acid gas which it carries will cause it to issolve away this rock , and as a result bi- arbonate of lime will be present in the ater . Should it pass through a layer of hate of lime or gypsum the water will con- ain a large amount of this material . SPARROW AS FIRE - RAISER . A smouldering cigarette picked up and carried by a sparrow to the belfry of Main Hall , on a University of Valparaiso , Indiana , set fire to the structure , and almost resulted in its destruction . It was only through strenuous efforts on the part of the fire com- pany and the students that the building , an old landmark , was saved . The belfry was used by a large number of sparrows as a place to build their nests . One of the students threw a lighted cigarette , and an in- quisitive bird , searching for something with which to line her nest , picked it up and flew to the tower . A few minutes later students passing the building saw several of the nests ablaze , and the birds were flying about screaming . RAIN AS FERTILISER . Rain , especially when accompanied by thunder and lightning , has a fertilising effect upon the soil . There is almost always am- monia in the air , and this is carried by the rain into the earth . It has been calculated that a quart of rain may contain about one- eightieth of a grain of ammonia . FACTS ABOUT FUR .. The costliest sable is the Yakutsk ( Russian ) skin that runs " silvery " -that has , in other words , a number of equally - distributed white or silvery hairs among the soft and silky brown ones . Such skins , of the average size of 15. by 5in . , are worth 750dol . apiece . The black silver fox is most valuable when there is no silver in it - when it is a pure rich black throughout . Ermine , contrary to the general belief , cleans well , and is an exceed- ingly durable fur . Sea otter skins measure 48in . by 24in . The best colour is a dark bluish - brown , almost black . A perfect skin in this colour is worth 4,000dol . Fisher grows , more and more popular . It is a large marten found in Canada and the Northern United States . The skin mensures 30in . by 12in . The best colours , which resemble fine sable , are worth about 150dol . per skin . BANDIT BEES KILLED BY WORKERS . In the struggle for life among the lower animals there is no place for the drone . He that will not work must die is the inexorable rule of creation .. Some of the insects display amazing intelligence in enforcing this Taw . The ants and bees execute , it according to the principles laid down by certain schools of Anarelists among people . When a queen bee leares the hive the workers that are left seem to become discouraged . Some of them behave as if they had lost heart in their work . They begin to loaf : they desert their native hive and , as they must eat , become bandits , rob- bing other hives of the honey stored up by the busy workers . But the owners of these more prosperous hives do not submit willingly to such robbery , and defend their stores eagerly . They chase out the marauders and kill them if they resist .
