Toy TOrpedOes.

The regulation toy torpedo consists
of bit of gravel done up in a square
of tissue paper with mite of illuminate.
The paper holds the gravel and fulmin-
ate together; the gravel gives weight to
the torpedo so that conclusion is pro-
duced when it is thrown or dropped
against a resisting substance, and the
illuminate does the business. There are
other kinds of toy torpedoes in which
cement or some other substance stronger
than tissue paper is used to confine the
explosive, and they make louder noise
than the paper ones. They are less to
be deplored, however, because their cost
places them beyond the reach of many
urchins. The toy torpedo is an abomin-
alton which is popularity believed to be
the product of heather ingenuity.
The historical fact that the fire-cracker
the nuisance second to the toy tor
pedo-was invented by the Chinese has
brought the race under the suspicion of
originating many evils of which they
are innocent. The name of the invent
or of the toy torpedo IS not known. He
is believed to have persisted miserably
after seeing his ill-gotten gold turn to
drOss in his hand. His descendants are
not likely to reveal the secret of his
identity, which he guarded so closely
till his death.
The active work in the making of toy
torpedoes is done by little girls who are
too young to comprehend the enormity
of their offense. Provided with the
materials, one little girl will, in sin
gle day, lay 5000 or 5000 squares of
tissue paper over half-inch holes in
boards containing 202 holes each, and
will punch the centers of the squares
down into the holes with a plug; an
other little girl will shove up illuminate
with quill, and with another quill will
poke little Of the substances into each
OF the paper-lined holes; third little
girl will scatter roofing gravel over the
boards, filing up the little wells; and a
fourth little girl will pick the papers
containing the illuminate and gravel out
of the holes and twist the edges of the
paper together with q small daub of
paste. 4 hundred torpedoes are then
mixed with sawdust and done up in a
round bunch with paper covering, to
be sold for palhy sum to little boys
and girls who desire to become enemies
of humanity.-NelCY York Sun.

It was not many years ago that the

familiar word Boil as a circumscribed

lied by a pointed pustular tumor and
separating in central core; a perlm-

COshocton STATION, n. Y, Dec. e, 1918.
Gents-A number of people had been using
your Bitters here, and with marked effect. A
lady of over seventy ears, had been sick for
the past ten years; she had not been able to be
around. Six months ago she was helpless.
Her old remedies, or physicians being
of no avail, l sent forty-ive miles, and got bot
tie of Hop Bitters. 1t had such an effect on her
that she was able to dress herself and walk about
the house After taking two bottles more she
was able to take care of her own room ard walk
out to her neighbours, and has improved all the
time since. My wife and children also have de.
rived great benefit from their use.
