Firecrackers come from China, where
the country people manufacture them as
a pastime, us the Germans do toys. They
are imported in boxes similar TO tea
chests, the hieroglyphics OIL them repre-
senting advertisements of different firms,
and they a!e used as ballast for the ships
that bring them over. An idea may be
obtained of the utter impossibility of
competition when one is informed that it
costs but two cents to make a pack of
lirecrackers there. The Chinese were ac-
q%uainted, as we all know, with the use
of ~gunpowder long before its introduction
into Europe in the Thirteenth century,
and the peasants have beer for SO mary
generations adept in the art Of making
Grecrackers that it has become, we might
say, second nature.-Brooklyn Eagle.

1t was at Harvard class day, and as
she had a ravishing gown, she was in a
blissful frame of mind. Besides, she was
almost as good as engaged to Ton Burns,
to whose spread she merrily wendell her
way, properly attended by a chaperon
who knew how to keep discreetly out Of
sight.
But fate was unkind to her. She had
hardly set her foot inside of Toms cham
bers than the host was introducing her to
a nan whose face gave her a dreadful
shock.
You ought to know my cousin, Jack
Harmes," Tom said cordially.
} And what punishment could be too
severe for that wretch of a Jack Harness,
who had the cruelty to rejoin:
"Oh, we do know each other. We were
engaged five years ago while we were in
college; weren't we, Miss 2lank3"
"Oh, no, Mr.. Harness, not engaged.
You know m said that the idea of
my being engaged before l was fifteen
was absurd; and I said 1 didn't mind
giving you upif / could have a new sun
shade. 1t was really as funny as any
thing 1 ever knew"
And 30 she saved herself, and if she Is
not by this time betrothed to Tom she
certainly deserves to be.-Boston Cou-

cownrdIee of tho suicide.

Rarely do we have a suicide from
noble motives, though a suicide himself,
as a rule, takes the ground that somehow
he is a hero. Here again is a delusion
amounting almost 10 insanity, and vet
falling short of it. What to the de-
stroyer of his own life seems a pathetic
sacrifice looks to the world more like a
freak of vanity, self pity or ehagrin.
The wretched murderer, in the inevitable
manifesto which he issues before his act,
ssum that he himself is the one that is
chiefly to be pitied, whereas, in most
cases, he forfeits all claim to sympathy
by a base desertion o. duty, and all the
goes out to the victim of his cowardice.
As cowardiCe insome one of its myriad
forms is almost the sole motive to sui
eide, this crime is essentially contempti-
BILE, and, therefore, any secret impulse
to take refuge in it should be sternly re-
jected by the true man or woman Life
often looks f~orbidding and dark, but
only a craven will surrender, even if no
other heart will bleed but his own. And
what aggravated c~owardice that is
which, rather than oppose trouble, sinks
away just when the need is the greatest
This is to desert in the face of the enemy
"a crime justly held to be the most
heinous a soldier can commit. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

An experienced and highly respected
physician gave me a valuable hint the
other day which others may find as use
ful as | did. Il am convinced, - said
he, mot only from practical personal ex-
perience, but on theoretically scientific
grounds also, that a safeguard against
much prevalent summer illness lies in
the free use Of lemon juice. Citric acid
helps to supply the place of the fluids
which are unduly dissipated through the
pores OF the skin in hot weather. Eat
plenty Of lemons and you can stand the
heat infinitely better thar those who do
not make use Of the fruit with which ma
u r has supplied tropical countries. -"

Some boys and girls are content with keep
ing common rabbits, while others, moro
chary in their taste and choice, stock their
little rabbitrics with the moro expensive
fancy Breeds which in point of beauty Of
color are PROFESSIONALLY more worthy of at
tention. Fancy rabbits are a little more
delicate and require therefore more care in
their management than do the common ones.
The wild rabbit in general appearance
greatly resembles the hare, yet tie two
species never intcrmix. The tame rabbit was
originally the wild rabbit, which we have
domestcated and made larger by liberal
feeding and care. Common rabbits vary
greatly with regard 20 color, some being
black, others white, others mouse color,
others fawn, some brown and some gray
with tawny feet
A fancy rabbit, in addition to perfect
shape, must have what is termed a good
carriage. The correct arrangement of colors
is q very important point though the ears
are the most striking popularity of the fancy
breeds. A rabbit is termed "horn lopped''
when its ears descend obiquely forward
from the side of the head and project out far
beyond the nose. Another style of carrying
the ears is that of spreading them out hori-
zontally on each side; tho animal possessing
such ears is termed an ''oarlop." Then
there is the hat or perfect top one of
the most valuable of all the fancy strains:
this carriage of the ears is exactly the re-
verse of the natural position, and rabbits
possessing it, if perfect in other respects are
highly priced
