climate is perpetual spring.
We can raise two crops of wheat a
year in many parts of Guatemala, and
the soil is wonderfully rich. The prin-
cipal exports are coffee and sugar, but
excellent rice is grown there, mostly
for home consumption. A curious
thing about the rice is that it can be
grown without flooding or irrigation.

In little speech to tho New York
Press club the other evening Henry NJ.
Stanley said:
In Central Africa it was not the fash
ion to indulge in aftel-dinner oratory
and he was consequently somewhat out
of practice. Several times in his career
he had been compelled to decide in
moment what course of action to pur-
sue. In his first African enterprise he
found himself stranded on an African
island without friends and without mon
ey. This was nineteen years ago. He
had to decide in moment what to do,
and he Determined to go ON. He raised
n loan of thirty thousand dollars in
few hours by paying five thousand dol
lars premium, and went ahead until,
after lapse of nine months, he found
David Livingstone, the object of his
search.
When he reached the spot where Liv-
ingstonc had turned back he was again
confronted with the necessity of instan-
taneous decision. He was in guam
Diary. If he turned back he would stamp
his enterprise with failure. If he went
on he knew not what would happen,
He held a consultation with his ieuten-
ant, and the latter suggested that the
matter might be settled by tossing a
coin. He accepted the suggestion and
tossed up q rupee The coin decided
against GOING on. But Stanley was not
satisfied. He tossed again, and still
again, and each time the coin said that

recoure to long and short straws and
three times this divinutioa declared
that the explorer should turn back,
But he was still not satisfied to go

A WOMAN esAR. R.sLAYER.
Che Plucky Deed of New Hampshire
Housewife


STFFF Housewife.
In the ''Ilistory of lIcnniker," New
Hampshire. it is related that Mr.. Moses
IIuse set off with friend on a bear
hunt one autumn morning to be gone
for the day. A little before sundown
Mrs. Huse began her Preparations for
supper against the time Of the hunt
ers' return. In those early days few
houses had cellars underneath; but
potato hole was dug near the dwelling
and covered over during the winter
with sods or thatch. In this hole the
seasons vegetables were stored.
Mrs. Huses handed pan to her little
girl and badG her go out to the cellar
hole and get some vegetables. The
child obeyed, but soon ran in, saying
that she had heard noise in the leaves
and was afraid. Her mother assured her
there was nothing TO be afraid of, and
sent her back; but the little girl soon
returned with the same story, when the
mother said impatiently: 'Wal, you
! stay here, an I'll go myself"
AS Mrs. Husc neared the potato hole
she heard the noise which had alarmed
the childA Upon going nearer she es-
pied bear digging in the leaves for
acOrnS. EEfbllftet
She immediately gave chase, picking
up, as She ran, IA huge pine knot, with
a train as long as yer arm," she said af-
forwards, and came up with bruin just
as he had begun the ascent of tree.
i9 Mrs. Huse was of Indian descent, of
wiry, powerful muscle. She had often
taken her end of the log in clearing the
land, and now, equal to the emergency,
she dealt the bear heavy blow with
the knot, which broke his back, and he
fell to the ground. She quickly dis
patched him, dragged him to the house
and dressed him.
When Mr.. Huse and his companion
returned, the woman was cooking bear
steak for supper. They were much as
tonished, and asked where she obtained
the meat. She told them, and added, in
her quaint dialect: 'When he failed
from the tree, damned on, did; and
l killed him, did, / did!'
The energetic woman had beaten the
hunters, whose search for bears haf
been fruitless and who had returned
without game of any sort.

COLORED FIRES.
Formulae by Which Strange Effects Arr
Produced,


Produced.
1t may be taken for granted that
many readers will be interested to learn
how the colored fires, with which the
birthday of our country is popularity
celebrated arc prepared. The process
of combining the materials is simple.
Striking differences in color produced
by slight changes in composition. The
western Druggists" gives some form
ula which clear up the mystery of these
strange effects.
I For the production of red, green, yell
low and blue fires, one-fifth part of
the composition is shcllac. AS this is q
constant quantity it is apparent at once
that the shellac has nothing to do with
determining the color. 1t serves the
purpose that charcoal does in the man.
ufacture of gunpowder. 1t holds the
,other elements in desired form, and
regulates the rate of combustion.
Another fifth part of these several
compounds is the chlorate of potassium.
This is used for the dctonating effect;
to startle the beholder with the crack
ling sound, and with the scattering of
the fire. OF itself it would give white
light, and would burn with intense en-
ergy. 1t imparts 'go" to the rocket
The remaining three-fifths are what
give color to the flame. They differ of
course, in the four compounds. For
producing red fire nitrate of strontium
is used; for green, nitrate of barium;
for yellow, nitrate of sodium, and for
blue, ammonia sulphate of copper. As
we find nitrates used for the first
three colors named, it is plain that the
effect is determined wholly by the use
respectively of strontium, barium and
sodium. 1t is equally true that blue is
the result of the burning Of copper.
Violet and purple flames are COM
posite, TO produce the violet, lime and
copper and sulphur arc burned to-
gether. For purple, strontium and cal
omel are burned with Just little cop.
per. The fumes of calomel are partic-
ularly harmful, and all these substances
yield gases that ought not to be freely
breathed. Very striking effects could
be obtained by using nickel, arsenic
and other similar elements, but theil
