And firecrackerS are to be cheap this

due to the new traiff law The old duty
pound, which made the extra cost of an
eight-pound box, containing sixtyfour
packs of firecrackers, GA cents. Under the
Wilson law the duty Is so per cent ad
yalorem, and amounts to about 20 cents a
box. This affects only imported goods, of
course, and our homemade fireworks will
cost as much as ever this year. But the
fact that f1recrackers are to he cheaper
than ever before will probably develop
large increases of gunpowdeT patriotism all
over the country and make this Fourth
OF July long to be remembered. The poor

ones can have twice as many as heretofore.
There are few new thirgs brought out
In the way of heavy fireworks this year.

Fancy Fireworks.
The list of new things in fancy fireworks
this year presents an interesting lot Of
names. There are Ferris Wheels electric
fans. trolley wheels, electric bicycles,
Brooklyn bridges little Vesuviuses and big
Vesuviuses, torbullions several new kinds
of "chasers" and Japanese bombs. An I'M
usually good thing is the parachute rocket,
which floats a number of small lights by
little parachutes. Another pleasing device
Is the dragon rocket, which let's loose, up
about 800 feet. a swarm Of dragon-like SER
penis that wind in and about each other
for quite time, until they disappear.
Some of the old set pieces appear now
under new names, and many of them are
modified in their colors so as to produce
new and pleasing effects. OF the cheaper
new things Is the silver geyser. the electric
light, trolley wheel, beehives, gas wells
yellow jackets and grasshoppers. all of
which are sold for from to cents each

A COSTLY DINNER.
One Hundred Dollars a Plate Was
the Subscription.

New York cannot claim all of the
famous banquets that have tickled
the palates of the gourmets. Other
cities have served feasts which have
an almost historic interest. In
Philadelphia forty friends of the
late f. b. Gowen, who was then
president OF the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey, once gave that gentle
man dinner at the Bellevue which
was a marvel in its way.
The room in which it was served
was thirty eight feet square. Every
foot Of the wall was covered with
green foliage, in which were conceal
ed small electric lights of various
colors. The room itself was veri-
table flower garden. So abundant
were the masses OF blossoms that il
was almost impossible to move from
the table without crushing some of
them. The table was oval in shape,
the center being filed with American
beauty roses. From these raidiated
maiden-bair ferns across the table,
thus converting the inuer edge OF
the table into field of green foliage.
The dinner was given in winter,
when flowers are most expensive and
when game birds are hard to find.
The element Of cost, however, SEEM
ed to have had little weight in pre-
pairing this banquet. Frozen trap
ped reed birds, snails especially i'm
ported from France, diamond-back-
ed terrapin from Maryland, hot
house grapes that cost 81 pound,
champagnes and still wines of choice
old vintages gave to the feast a
richness seldom equaled in CASTRO
nomic history. One hundred dol
lars plate was the subscription
price.-Current Literature.

Wine Worth Its Weight in Gold.

At a sale in 1853 Of the effects OF
the deceased Duchesse dc Raguse
the late Baron Rcthchild paid its
weight in gold for forty -four bottles
Of Madeira. This wine, it appears,
was fshed up in 1914 from a ship
wrecked at the mouth OF the Scheldt
in l77s, where it had lain during
that interval. Louis XVIII bought
it at that time, and part OF it was
presented to the French consul, and
thus came into the hands OF the Due
de Raguse. The weight of a bottle
OF wine, including bottle, is about
two pounds, avoirdupois, so that at
this calculation each bottle would
have cost about $50. Prince Wor-
ouzof, it is said, sells his Tokay, 220
years old, for S45 a bottle. In the
famous cellars OF the Hotel dc Vile,
Bremen, there are a dozen cases OF
holy wine which have been preserved
for $50 years. This calculation has
been made in regard to it. IL the
cost of maintaining the cellar, pay
ment OF rent, interest upon the ORR
ginal value OF the wine, and other
proper incidental charges are con-
sidered, a bottle OF this choice liquor
has cost S2.O0O,000, each gla,sful
S272, $50, and a single drop could not
be sold without loss under 500

BENJAMlN'S WIT.
The Emfeent Southerner Usually Had
Something Pleasant to Say.

Judah p. Benjamin of Louisiana, a
member Of Davis cabinet and an able law
yer, was fond of his jokes. Once he hap
pened to arrive In a town the day after
political meeting a largo number of
those who attended 1t We're guests at the
same hotel wh@e he happened TO stop.
After examining the register he turned TO
the clerk and said:
1.-The boys had a pretty jolly time last
night didn't theyf"
ayes, they did," answered the clerk,
"but how did you happen to knows"
"Why," replied benjamin, pointing to
the book before him, Il can always tell
how the boys are acting when they are
away from home by examining their sigma
lures. If they put down lot of hero
glyphics on the hotel registers instead of
the letters which spell their names, then l
know that they arc having very pleasant
visit Indeed.
"Do you know" he added after a pause,
"that political meetings are often followed
by IL paralysis of the right handf'
And Of the brain also?" replied the
other.
"No, don't think So" answered Ben
jamin, because the brain has to be pretty
well paralyzcd before man is fool enough
TO 60 Into politics, at least for living"
On another occasion in the trial of
case benjamin was pressing witness
pretty hard. Tho man was unwilling to
mako certain admissions and hcmmcd,
hawod and hcsitated and tried in every
way possible to evadc the questions. Aft
er this had been going on for some time
the judge said:
''Arc you illY Why don't you speak up2
What is the matter with your throatf"
ooh, the witness is all light, your hon

ut all who is making those queer noises,
but 1t is simply the truth, which is feebly
struggling for uttoranco Detroit FREQ
