A DOg-Dny Aspiration

I'll he me away to my summer place Where the polar bear lies low; I'll hobnob, too, with the Es lmo race And live in a hut of snow. I'll prance around with the sportive seals That bask in the midnight sun. And shiver and freeze as my blood congeal When my daily work Is done. I'll hunt and ilsh with the Arctic chaps And skate in their native r.nks, I'll play ''old siedge" with the jolly Laps Or 'freezc-out" for the drinks. I'll play baseball in a Held of ice In the pa!nocrystic sea, Where tho diamond is ever cool and nice And no hot balls can be. O, far away in this friG:d zonc
 I'll finger at my ca5c; And there oa a glacier of my own
 I'll calmly sit end freeze. On pancake" ice I'll sometimes SUD. On 'calr' ice will dine; And polar currents" to finish up
 And make meal divino. Then hic With Inc to my summer place; Why sit ye stcwing here? 0, come, and the festive walrus chase In tho northern hemisphere! Don't boil and sizzle and worry and fret In this and warmer zones; But fly to colder zone, and let
 Tho wind blow through your bones.

HOW ROCKETS ARE MADE.

Their Threo Principal Purposes and Their Peculiar Construction.
 Rockets, according to St. Nicholas, are made for three purposes: For signaling, for decorations or celebrations, or as projectiles in war. For signals the charge consists of twelve parts of hitter, two of sulphur and three of charcoal The ornamental or deco rative rocket is the one we see used on the Fourth of July and the composition of which it Is made comprises 122 parts of mealed or finely pulverized powder, eighty of hitter, forty of sulphur and forty of cast-iron filings.
 The main part of this rocket is a case,
 made by rolling stout paper, covered on one
 side with paste, around a wooden form, at
 the same time applying considerable press
 ure. The end is then "choked," or brought
 tightly together with twine.
 The paper case thus made is next placed
 in copper mold, so that g. conical copper
 spindle will pass up through the choke, and the composition is then poured in and packed by blows of a mallet on a copper drift or packing-tool made to fit over the spindle. The top of the case is now closed with layer of moist plaster of paris one inch thick, perforated with small hole for the passage of the flame to tho upper part or "pot." The pot is formed of another pa- per cylinder slipped over and pasted to the top of the case and surmounted by paper cone filled with tow. The "decorations' are placed in the pot and are scattered through the air when the flame, having passed 1 through the aperture of the plaster, reaches ! small charge of melted powder placed in the pot.
 The stick is piece of pine wood, taper | ing, and about nine times the length of the rocket. It is to guide the rocket in it's flight The decorations in the pot may be
 'stars." 'serpents," "marrons," "gold- l rain," and so on. ''Marrons" are small pa-
 per shells filled with grained powder and pinned with quick-match. "Serpents" are small cases about one half inch in diameter | In which is a composition of three parts
 niter, three sulphur, sixteen mealed powder, | one-half charcoal. This composition is l driven In the case, the top of which Is
 closed by plaster of paris, having small aperture through which passes a piece of ] Qu1ck-m0tch,

A Statement from Dricrly.
BOULANGER'6 TRIAL.

Ills Supporters wm Take No Further Part in tho Proceedings. ..
 PARIS. Aug. IS. The Senate met again yesterday as High Court of Im- peachmcnt to try the charges against Boulanger, Dillon and Rochefort.
 Immediately on assembling tho leader of tho Right moved that tho Senate was incompetent to try the cases or to ren- der legal judgment, since tho allcga- tions contained in tho indictment were not of such a nature as to constitute treason, and since, upon charges of treason alone, is the Senate competent to sit in judgment.
 An effort was made on the part of sev- eral of the Boulangist Senators to dis cuss the motio1l but tho President de- clared that all discussion was out of or der and the motion was put. The re- suit was that it was rejected by vote of 212 to 51.
 After the announcement of tho vote the members of the Right withdrew from the Chamber and held a caucus, at which 1t was unanimously decided to take no further part in the proceedings.
 The vote in the senate is regarded as foreshadowing Boulanger's Conviction by a decided majority.
