Water Tight Match Box 'Wanted.
Bishop, who made a thousand mile
voyage in a paper canoe, says that R. B.
, Forbes, of Boston, once ' gave him a
water tight pocket match box, that he
lost it, and was never able to find an-
other. Thousands of hunters, canoeists,
and others have hunted and longed for
ntimerable styles, we have never been
able to find one which was suitable for
carrying matches in the pocket and
would at the same time protect them
from water. There etre some difficulties
in the way of inventing such au article,
because when carried in the pocket the
air within the box is rarefied by the Beat

have sated the game, but that spirit was
how worn out and never could again be

Champagne with an activity perhaps un-
paralleled in his former wars." Tho

She works in the hayfield, in summer and
digs from seventy to one 'hundred bush-

the cellar. The other sister is the car-
