Ate Ills Dinner Twice.

An nabsent-minded Peterborough citizen was sent to the city to make few pur- chases for his better half On prior oc- easions he had returned home com blaming of a headache, caused by miss ing his noontime meal. To make sure he would not forget any of the articles wanted, his wife prepared memor- andum. At the head of the list was: Don't forget your dinner" and to make doubly sure she finished with the same admonition. Arriving in the city the paper was pulled from his pocket. Seeing the dinner notice he dropped in a restaurant and filled up. Each ar ticle was marked off the list as pur- chased, until he reached the bottom, when "Get your dinner" again ap- peared. He dropped into the nearest eating-house and gave an elaborate order. It happened to be the same place visited an hour or so before, and his appetite was revelation to the waiter, who was the same man who served the first dinner.-Philadelp Record.

Each particular cracker boomed like a field piece, aud finally four or more went off at once, almost shattering the windows of the neighborhood. And the Chinese Fourth was over. It was the greatest Fourth of July celebration ever witnessed in this city It was unique because 1t was so unexpected. and because the source was so surpris- ing. It was not advertised, but it drew an immense audience. If anybody had expected that such show was possible or probable, every little boy in the city would have insisted upon being there. It is quite likely that the Chinamen only ascertained late in the afternoon or evening that they could obtain all of those fireworks at what Americans call ''panic prices" and that therefore the entire affair was, in a sense, inn promptu. But, however 1t was brought about, the celebration was a success, and every Chinese fire sprite in the District of Columbia was present and participating. If these peculiar for eigners commence celebrating our Fourth of July all over the country, they may yet become citizens and take part in our elections. They would surely vote for those politicians who might be shrewd enough to furnish them the most fireworks; just as so many of our misguided citizens vote for fire water dispensers. In that event, the Chinese would be the better and more patriotic citizens

.c+ino like salamanders sat upon their porches, in doorways and ln windows chattering like monkeys and grlanlng like idiots, gesticulating like French men and blinking their almond eyes with gleeful glitter All of them had big packs of crackers. and lighting the f1ses they occasionally threw them into the crowds of small boys on the side walks. Before the little fellows real ,zed the attack, the crackers were cracking, sizzing and prancing about their feet, and they ran wildly away leaving the packs in full possession of the navements while the Chinamen cheered Justify at their nasty retreat. These peculiar packs smelled as no nowder ever smelled before, and the smoke which filed the air was almost suffocating There appeared to be an aroma of burning opium, but, what ever it was, it was terrible and almost terrifying to American nostrils.
 Towards midnight they brought out whole sheafs of American-made sky rockets to which they had attached bamboo tails with packs of firecrackers for aerial display These were fired oil by dozens. In fact the entire eelebra- tion was carried on by wholesale. They had evidently purchased the last remnants of the stock of some dealer who disposed of them at cost. The dis play was as lavish as might have been expected at inauguration time and at government expense. The skyrocket part of the show lasted nearly half aa hour. but the frecrackers kept on pop ping all the time and the wild dancing of the Chinamen was as continuous as though an army of Japs was after l them.
 Then came the colored lights. The curbstones were covered with little boxes containing colored powder and for fifteen minutes the scene was bril- liant. The smoke arose as incense and perYaded the upper atmosphere until the stars were almost entirely ob- scured. During this performance some giant crackers were produced and scores of them cracked the air. The louder the noise the merrier were the peculiar foreigners who were eelebrat- ing our national birthday. But these giant noise-mal1ers were mere popguns as compared with the final explosion of Celestial patriotism. If John Milton and Signor Dante could have witnessed the scene they might have written with lzeener inspiration. A string of giant crackers about twenty feet long and thicker than a mans arm was pro- duced as final crack O doom. It was started by Chinaman as big as Goliath. He seemed to be the boss of the whole affair, and when he marched forth with that big roll. or log of fire, the whole colony came down from their houses and porches to form ring around it. For fully five minutes there was pandemonium unequaled save by an actual artillery battle.

ing and peering, stood, and there lay a copperhead, leather hued, banded
 with brown, in coil, and big coil at that, five feet in front of my nose. The head, lighter in color than the rest, stood up a few inches in the center.
 Even as l saw him out came the yellow ish quivering tongue, feeling the air with its points, which plainly told that he saw me. As bear to get paws on a woodchuck dashes through brambles that screen it, so did I with my snake stick dash in on the coveted coil of the eopperhead, the first had seen in my lifetime. In spite of the twine-like stalks which ha d the place in net work, I got forward and shot in my long stick over the head sticking up from the coil, and now smenacing me.
 Down came the stick with a quick push on his neck. He turned and bit it, so moved it closer to the head; and then, throwing myself forward, stoop- ing, half stumbling, half falling, seized him with my left hand back of his jaws, and drew him forth from his coil.
 But before l had drawn him foot, out came another head, heretofore hidden, which dashed at my hand. But this second snake, which to my surprise was in the same coil, didn't succeed in wounding me, thanks to the density of the undergrowth, against which her jaws spent their venom. Having the smaller one of the two by the neck in my left hand, now held my stick to my right, to press down the other snake also, lest it should attempt to glide off before my companion could come to assist me. But my right hand alone was quite insufficient to press her. The stick, too, was over her middle.
 She turned and bit it, and then glided out from beneath it, going gradually off out of sight through the weed stalks. Dropping the stick, flung my self savagely after her, determined at any risk to get her, for the stick was too long to be managed in such thick ct. She went towards some rocks,
 where big one leaned slantingly over a lesser. In cavity under the upper and behind the lower one she entered and was rapidly withdrawing her body.

sons this piece of ground is called the Copperhead field. AS we entered at the gate we found one dead. But tramp as we might, through weeds and grass to the waist, we nowhere could meet with snake, though our nerv- ous trepidation may be imagined, for at any moment we might step on one un- seen.
 Unsuccessful we returned to the woods, which in the close vicinity of the field are said to be the worst snake haunted spot in Cold Spring The feel ings of the people about it may be un- derstood from the fact that no hunter will enter unless booted to the knees; and young man of the locality who had joined me (for my New York com panion had gone off by himself) de- clared his intention of sitting on a rock by the roadside. while I made my cautious way alone into the wooded kingdom of the copperheads. The trees grew thiclzly together, and the undergrowth was so dense that it was not possible to see more than few yards in any direction. Suddenly I came out into clearing, where a tree had fallen and routed; but the clearing was even more dense than the thiclset, for weeds, climbing and creeping, had usurped all the open ing and netted themselves to the branches of the trees round about it. Breaking my way through these. and lifting them up on my stick, stoop-

Pretty Well Worn Out.

A public school-teacher in a New Jersey town was once asked where she intended to spend an approaching vaca- tion. She replied that it was such an effort to collect her things and pack her trunk that she was doubtful whether she should leave town. When surprise was expressed at this, she re- piled: ''Well, the truth is, have strength enough to do either, but not both, of two things: I can get ready and not go, or I can go and not get y!"-Youths Companion.

lsneclal Washington Letter.l ]

Everybody here had lots of fun on the Fourth of July, and the children were not monopolists of mirth this time. They had their share of the noise and tumult, but there were many grown men who took part in the celebration. They were not Americans, either, but Chinamen with almond eyes, long pig tails and sallow complexions. They know no more about the history of our Fourth of July than pig knows of pumpkin pie; but their race knew all about making frecrackers long before our Washington was born.

A Fish Story from Maine.

A Lewiston man tells the most start ling fish story. Four years ago he was fishing at Lake Auburn with long silk line and hook of his own nanu- facture. In the afternoon of one May day he hooked monster salmon which came to the surface three or four times and then broke the line under the keel of the boat. One day last week he was up there fishing, and about five hun- dred yards south of the island hooked salmon which he pulled in by the aid of scoop net. Embedded in the lower jaw was his old handmade hook.

with my right hand 1 cIutehed at the last six inches of her tail. There I held her, yelling like mad to my companion to come and help me. Like charging buffalo he plunged through the bushes. 1 wish l could tell what he felt when he saw me lying there, flat on my stom- ach, my left hand resting on the elbow and holding a copperhead by the neck, the right hand holding another copper head by the tail, while her head, stick ing out at a second opening higher up than the one by which she had entered, was biting and flashing furiously at my face within less than foot of my nose.
 With the young mans assistance I dropped the first one into the bag and then took my time with the other. I got her to go back through the hole by which she had entered. Letting go her tail as soon as her head appeared I put my stick across her neck just as had done with the mate. Without difficulty we got her also into the sack and car ried both off in triumph to the Emer- son homestead, where we were delight ed to be informed that the female of the pair was the largest copperhead but one they ever had seen, being at least yard in length and two inches in diameter.

Eggs in the Celestial Kingdom.

In China fresh eggs are not very much esteemed, but when an egg be- comes thirty or forty years old it is considered great delicacy, and at one hundred it is dish fit for a king. They have way of burying the eggs, and it takes about thirty days to render a plclxled egg fit to eat. Some of the old eggs have become as black as ink, and one of the favorite Chinese dishes for lnvallds is made up of eggs, which are preserved in jars of red clay and salt water.
