A crisis is brewing in Oklahoma.
The Indians, it seems, have taken all
the best lands to turn them over to
cattlemen. The settlers are angry
enough to fight about it, as they want
ed these very lands themselves. If
the policy Of throwing open the reser-
yation lands to white settlers is to
breed another indian war it might be
cheaper for the government to try
some other plan. 40

DIFFERENT LAUGHS.
How the Various Nationalities Expre
Their Merrimeut.

How the Various Nationalities Express
Their Merrimeut.
All the world laughs, though the ma
tions have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the European
or American. 1t is oftener litter than
a genuine burst of merriment There
is little character or force in it
As for the Arabian laugh, we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages of mirth in the old world. The
Arab is generally a stolid fellow, who
must see good reason for a laugh or be
surprised into it. In Persia man who
laughs is considered effeminate, but
free license is given to female merri-
ment-
One reads of the grave Turk" and
the "sober Egyptian" but it is not re-
corded that they have never moments
of mirth, when the fez bobs or the vail
shakes under the pressure of some par
ticularly good thing" In Mohammed
himself Christian writers have noticed
cordiality and jocoseness, and they say
there is good ringing laugh in the
prophet with all his seriousness
An American travelling in Europe re-
marks the Italian mirth as languid but
musical, the German as deliberate, the
French as spasmodic and uncertain, the
upper-class English as regarded and
not always genuine, the lower-class
English as explosive, the Scotch Of all
classes as hearty, and the Irish az roll
licking.-Troy Times

In the United States there are eight
large factories for making fireworks,
besides about dozen smaller ones. In
all these factories only about one thou
sand people are employed. One of the
most important is located at Parkville,
near Coney Island. There, in an iso-
lated neighborhood, stand about thirty
wooden sheds of the f1imsiest descrip-
tion. At some distance is low build
ing with heavy oaken door. This Ii
the powder magazine. The leases" for
rockets, Roman candles and other fire
works are made in what are called the
"wet-rolling sheds" This work is done
by half dozen men, who do the roll
ing, assisted by as many boys, who do
the pasting of the sheets of damp paper.
In the dry-rolling sheds, where the
work is light and not at all dangerous,
girls are employed The paper bombs
are made in still another shed. Shells
are filled by few men, who work at
bench and pour the powder into small
opening by means of a funnel. 1t is
absolutely necessary to have everything
spotlessly clean. The floors and benches
are busted every fifteen minutes, and
not the smallest speck of powder is to
be seen any place except in the tins
provided for explosiyes.-Public Opin-
