THE DAY
Was indugurated to celebrate the
time when the United States left the
apron strings Of the mother country
and set up housekeeping on its
own hook. 1t was one Of the big
gest family ruptures on record, but
the families survived it.
The relations are not wholly
served between the two branches,
and whenever England can sell us
wheat she don't want, and get two
prices for it, she is always ready to
accommodate US. If Americans
can get something with an English
trade mark on, they do it every
time. This is done to reconcile
the old mother country for the loss
of her children.
WAYS OF SPENDING THE FOURTH.
No two people spend the Fourth
alike. The small hoy rises with
the lark, even if $50 has been his
regular rising hour all the year
round, and his first official act is to
get under the bed room window of
his parents and bang off an old pot
metal pistol until the old nan sticks
his head ont Of the window and
begins to read the riot act. Then
the boy skips off and is not in
sight again until after midnight.
A boy who is patriot goes on the
principal that distance lends
enchantment" Eat about 2 per cent
a month) to the view. The boy
always believes that the biggest
amount Of fun can be dug up in the
next town, and still more in the
town beyond. The further they
get from home the more they can
enjoy themselves The red paint
for decorative purposes increases
in thickness with the square of the
distance, and when they get to the
end of the route things change
round and the joys Of home look
bigger than ever.
NOISE.
The great idea Of the day is noise.
Some people imagine that the boy
gets 6orse with each recurring
Fourth. But this is not the case,
the manufacturers keep him better
with the facilities for

The time VIXEN the
old fashioned Chinese FIRE cracker
marked the limit of the game is
passed. The fire crackers have
grown like the country, and you can
get them as big as candles, with
bombs the. size of cocoanuts. One
of these will bang of like a cannon
and freighten eight or nine horses
into running away, while the old
kind could not brighten oyer one
or two at the furthest.
LIQUOR.
In the old and PURE days of the
republic straight drinks constituted
the tipple for the shouting patriots.
Matters have also somewhat
changed in that respect. Many
new drinks have been evoluted
from the brain of the cunning bar
keeper, which fiddle the citizen
more outrageously than the old
straight and undefiled whisky of
our grandfather's days. This is
why more people are blind drunk
on the Fourth than there used to
be. The old antiquarians who are
continually telling the rising gen.
Grafton that they never used to get
drunk on the natal day Of liberty,
should bear in mind that money
was scarcer then and the plain un-
vanished tipples Of half 4 century
