INDEPENDENcE DAY IN FAIRY
LAND.

The wee midsummer fairies who dwell in
wood and meadow,
Although they be but tiny folk are pa
triotic too
80 when they heard the children say the
GLORIOUS Fourth" was coming,
They met in solemn conference to see what
they could DO.
Butfireworks and powder, torpedoes, rockets,
crackers,
Are not for sale in fairyland, as you per.
haps might dream;
At first the case seemed hopeless, but, ofteI
weighty thinking,
Like clever elve-Americans they hit upon
a scheme.
First beneath the branches they unfurled a
splendid banner,
Whose stripes were crimson SALIVA with
daisies laid between,
Forget-me-nots and blue-bells made all one
corner azure,
With stars of golden butter-cups, the
largest ever seen.
For crackers and torpedoes they snapped the
empty pods,
While puff-balls did their little best to
smoke with all their might,
And the elfin fete was ended with shooting
stars for rockets,
While Roman-candle fireflies lit all the
summer night.

Wonderful Insect Vitality.

IT is a standing puzzle to the entomo.
logists how frail little insects of the mos
quito and butterfly order can brave the
cold of an Arctic winter and yet retain
their vitality. The larv@ of the milk
weed butterfly has been exposed to an
artificial blast sixty-eight degrees below
zero. Taken out of range of this arti-
fetal blizzard and gradually "thawed
out" this same worm was able to creep in
less than half an hour afterwards. But
terhies have been found fitting joyously
about in the highest latitude man has
ever penetrated, and the mosquitoes of
Alaska and Greenland are known to be
the healthiest specimens of that race of
little pests.-St. Louis Republic.

About two years ago it was estimated
that the wealth of the Vanderbilt family
amounted to 1874, 900, 900, and at the
present time it is probably $500, 900, 900.
If the Astor policy of bequeathing a
great fortune to single member of the
family is followed it is plain enough that
in a few years there will be an American
Millionaire. The Vanderbilt property
with the interest on it at five per cent.
will in about twenty-five years amount to
nearly 81 600, 900, 900 but its other profits
will round it out to that sum perhaps in
ten or dozen years 1t is altogether
likely, thinks the Atlanta Constitution,
that the American billionaire will be
among us early in the Twentieth Century.

stones, which lasted about ten minutes,
and during that time they felt as though
highly charged with electricity. "The
ladies of the party" says a correspondent
"felt as though ants were running among
their hair, which was fastened up with
steel haIrpins. One OF the gentlemen
held his hands to the head of one of the
others and at once the hair stood on end.
This was done several times with the
same result, and for two or three days
afterward their heads felt the effects of
the electrical whipping. This singular
matter is much talked Of in DevonshIre. 4"

Feats of Pedestrianisn.

Probably the greatest pedestrian feat
of the century performed in the United
Kingdom was that of Bob Carlisle, who
completed in 1888 the unprecedented
feat of walking 300 miles in 100 days.
The task was performed to test the capa-
bilities of moderate drinker as com
pared wi .ldurance of total ab.
stainer. The distance was covered by
repeated journeys between Heaton, Nor
ris, Blackpool, Manchester, Oldham,
Rochdale, Bury and Broughton.
Weston, the abstainer, only com.
pleted 5000 miles in the same period.
In January, 1879, Weston walked 1874
miles in 1000 consecutive hours, mar.
velous feat of endurance. For single
days walking w. Howes stands first,
having covered 127 miles 200 yards in
twenty-four hours at the Agricultural
Hall, Islington. The greatest distance
walked in one hour was eight miles 17Z
yards, by w. Griffin in 1881, and in
four hours was 27f miles, by w. Franks
in 1882. The greatest distance ran in
one hour was eleven miles $40 yards by

Zenas Crane, of Dalton, Mass, who
makes the paper on which the Govern
ment prints its bank notes and bonds,
says that "there Is too much dirty and
worn currency in circulation in the
United States. The Bank of England
never reissues a note which is paid in by
any Of its customers, and the result i:
that English money is always crisp, clean
and fresh. The United States receives
greenhacks aud National bank notes and
pays them out again, no matter how
filthy they may be, except, of course,
currency that is too badly worn for re
issue.>. The damaged currency becomes
loss to the people, and the Govern
ment makes large profit on it, which
hold to be a wrong policy"

Taste and False Teeth.

II does not seem that the presence OF
false teeth in the mouth would affect the
sense of taste, but some persons who
have used them say that their power is
greatly impaired by their presence; that
they cannot taste half as we'll as they
could before they began the use of the
plates. 1t is reasonable that it should
be so, for the false palate covers the
roof of the mouth, and thus deprives the
user of great deal of his tasting sur
face. At least one-half the tasting is
done with the palate, and when this is
covered it stands to reason that the
faculty of taste must be materially inn

Nature,s Cure for Diphtherln.

Nature has her own remedy for dip
liberia. 1t is nothing more nor nothing
less than pineapple juice. 1t will cure
the worst case that mortal flesh was -,
afflicted with. l did not discover the
remedy the colored people OF the South
did that. While in Mississippi some few
years ago one of my children was taken
with diphtheria and the question Of his
death was only the problem of a few
hours. An old colored man, to whom
my wife had shown some kindness, called
at the house, and, saying he had heard
Of my little ones illness, urged me to use
pineapple juice. The old fellow de-
clared that in Louisiana, where he came
from, he had seen it tried many times,
and that in each case it had proved
effective. So | secured a pineapple and
squeezed out the juice. After a while
we got some of it down the boys throat
and in a short time he was cured. The
pineapple must be thoroughly ripe. The
juice is of SO corrosive a nature that it
will cut out the diphtheria mucousl-

close and big bonnets are coming into
style. A few early importations with poke

please or not remains to be seen. Horse
shoes are newer than paste buckles fol
trimming hats. Omber ribbons have had
very short run. Being many colored
they were difficult to dress to- The toqut
still 1ourishes 1t is entirely an English
fashion. The new Paris bonnets are near
ly all trimmed with bright hued ribbons
and something that sparkles-gold span
giles, paste ornaments tinsel or jet. Satin
ribbon strings replace those of velvet on
the newer capotes. 1t is told, too that in
the near future women will tie their bon
net strings in bow, with long ends, under
the chin. Evening bonnets are fashionably
