We learn from New York paper that
the fireworks trade up to the 10th inst.

The importation of Chinese crackers
has been very heavy the present season
and is estimated by importers as high
as 100000 boxes. The pyrotechnic
which is probably the most extensively
manufactured and sold is the torpedo.
During the past year more than 200,s
100000 of them have been made. They
sell at from fifty to sixty cents thous-
and. During the past year many new
styles of pyrotechnics have been intro
duced into the market. This is partic-
ularly the case with the large exhibition
pieces used at municipal celebrations,
to which many new and beautiful col
ors have been added. The attention Of
artifcers has also been directed to the
task of rendering them free from COM
bustion as much as possible.

Ba~ A very interesting time was en-
joyed last night, at the First Baptist
Church, in Jersey street, on the occa-
sion of the Anniversary of the Sabbath
School. The pulpit was nicely decora-
ted, with boquets, hanging baskets
and wreaths-a number of vases filled
with flowers standing on the platform
and on the orchestra railing. The ser
vices were opened with singing by the
children, and the scriptures were read
by T. I. Runyon, the Superintendent.
After prayer by the pastor, and the
singing of another hymn by the chill
dren-the Secretary's report was read
by Mr.. George W. Stone. The paper
was well prepared and exhibited the
school in fourishing condition. The
hour of meeting has been twice chang
ed during the year, the hour of assem-
blage for the regular sessions at pre-
sent being at the close of morning ser
vice. The number of scholars has in
creased during the year from rs to 125,
with the greatest harmony and love pre-
vailing between the various officers and
teachers of the school. The new year is
entered upon with hopeful hearts.
The school then sang another hymn
after which they were addressed by the
pastor Rev. I. A. K. Gessler. 1t wasa
pleasant sight to see the interested
faces of the chilren, as they listened to
the flowers talking, for the subject of
the pastors address was The Lessons
the Flowers Teach U.s." After the
singing of another hymn the benedic-
ton was pronounced, the congregation
dispersed.
A notable feature OF the occasion was
the excellent singing, and great credit
is due to the chorister of the school,
Mr.. George Teeare. The Hallelujah
chorus" was very accurately rendered,
the "solo" parts of this, as also of
some other hymns, being sustained by
three little girls who sang with great
sweetness and precision.
The Sabbath School, of the First
Baptist church was organized in 1914,
and enters now upon the 25th year of
its history. Never before were its pros
poets better, never did brighter future
seem open before it.

GA very pleasing as well as highly

BoTNT0ETS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range which has Just
been completed, is offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some of the peculiar adyan-
tages this Range possesses
First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
second-It has a much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, af1ordng larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes.
Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire las in all other pattern
rangesD both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn a larger amount of fuel
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns and is more like the French Kitch-
eners making it much more convenient and easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position (being in the body of
the Range) instead of above the ovens as in other
patterns.
surface so as to make it inconvenient in removing
the boilers, as in other patterns.
Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
veying the steam to chtmneys and controlling the
draft, than most ranges.
Eighth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return fue over the top of the oven (which is the
point that most often faiIs thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top as well as on the bottom.
Ninth-The flues in this range are all complete in
themselves, that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (Which absorbs the heat,l and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired if necessary, with
out disturbing the brick work.
