we're destroyed by fire about midnight
on Saturday. A threshlng crew had
been at work on the farm during the
day, number OF whom had been to
Corona attendinga a me e.icine show, and
had returned to sleep in the barn shortly
before the fire was discovered. John
Mased had visited the barn but little
while before retiring and found every
thing all right, but Mrs. Malsed having
tu get up about midnight, saw one OF the
barns in blaze, and Notwithstanding
the most strenuous efforts, 4 halt dozen
horses, number of harnesses, some 80

oats and farm tools were destroyed. The
horses lost belonged to H. Mased and

The fire is supposed TO have been started
from pipe or by some ore passing on
the road throwing cigar stub+near the

in Chicago once tried to make small
frecrackers by machinery, but after
several fruitless attempts gave it up
with a loss of several thousand dol
lars. They could reproduce q pack of
firecrackers after the Chinese pattern
the only trouble being that they would
not explode. This is mainly because
no machine can be manufactured to
roll the f~irecrackers and take the place
of the gentle pressure done with the
human hand. They invariably roll
them too tight and thereby render
them useless.
The large American firecrackers al

sides, do not hold in the hand after
lighting" Only an American boy
would be guilty Of such a reckless
thing. In China as 1901 as q child
lights a cracker he leaves 1t and does
not run back to pick 1t up to see II the
fuse is burned out. But In America It
is not SO. The glorious Fourth comes
but once a year, and the small boy
In his endeavor to have a good time
rushes about and does some of the

follow the Chinese example the ocu-

them in length aud another sorts them

other rolls the cracker. while his
neighbor fills the ends with clay. The

mans work, any more than the fuse
maker would do the sorter's work, and,
every little frecracker before it
reaches America has in its construc-
ton passed through over sixty differ
ent pairs of hands. The go-down is
divided into q dozen long sheds, with
blue tiled roofs; the laborers sit on lit
