To pre vent fire or accidents, which are liable to occur from their careless use EPHRAIM SMITH. 919 St. John St., Philadelphia, invented a match known as "Pennsylvania Safety Match," which needs only oue trial for the public to know its importance. Its peculiarity is that it cannot be irrnitei! exrent on the snecial preparation furnished with each box. They do not emii any disagreeable ntlor nr make ajv startling, crackling sound on being ignited. They contain ucither sulphur nor tih,.i. horns, neither are they poisonous. Another Important point is that they are perfectly safe in th hands of children: and the rat aud mice carry ing them off can do no damage. M'. Smith also manufacturers a special rubber to be placed near match safes, thereby making these matches as con venient as those which ignite on any surface.

Also, i it has the great advantage, that being of a more solid material, and, consequently, with lets re bound, the niece forged receives the FULL effect of the hammer, instead of a part of it being wasted bv the rebound, as wnh a wrought iron Anvil. More work can therefore be done on this Anvil with a hammer one-fifth lighter than required for a wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
