Oh. yes; you can still get Chinese frecrackers if you want them. but they're no better.
 I'll say this" the busy man went on. This is as good, useful and patriotic a business as l want to be in. They can make a fuss about the noise if they want to, but the old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration. even with the modern changes, does make better citizens. It does lead young folks to read up about our early days. It's the same way with a centennial celebration of some historical event. By the time it's over everybody has read or heard all about the event it celebrates, and is just so much wiser. We'll, the Fourth is centennial celebration every year"

The operation of dressing in cold weather in the far north is so elabor- ate that it is difficult to understand how d deliberate boy or girl in Lapland can De ready for breakfast before dinner time. First, two suits of thick woolen underclothing are put on, and over these goes shirt of reindeer skin, with cloth bands to fasten at the wrists; sometimes two of these shirts, or kap- tas, are worn, and reindeer vest be- heath them. The trousers are of rein deer skin also. Two pairs of heavy woolen stockings are worn, and the child who puts these on when they are damp is sure to have trouble with his feet. Around the feet a peculiar grass, well dried, is carefully bound, and over all this goes the shoe Buttons and hooks and eyes are scarce in Lap land; all clothing is fastened by strings, and it is dreadful to think of all the hard knots" that Lap children have fumbled over while too sleepy to be amiable.

 Anything new in fireworks? Yes, the price list
 "How's that?' l asked.
 Prices gone up from 25 to 50 per cent" replied the manager of a great fireworks manufacturing company, up to his ears in the busiest week of the busiest month of the year, but cheer fully ready to talk. BOX of tirecrack- CTS, 40 punches, 60 crackers in bunch, costs about one dollar. Dealers make up little punches to sell for a cent, though; noise is still cheap enough"
 What excuse is there for higher prices?"
 "Oh. the labor is costly and the new tariff raises the price of chemicals-yes, l know it hasn't gone into effect yet, but it's already making material expen- sive. Then, too, there's something else. Maybe some of the manufacturers are tired of doing business for nothing, and have kind of fixed up list. A fire works trust? Oh, no; just business agreement. But prices are higher, whatever's the cause.
 There's another thing. This Fourth of July business is changing character gradually, and in some ways for the better. Crackers are so cheap, and have been for so long a time, that the boys begin popping 'em two weeks before hand, which is good for the trade. But on the Fourth itself there's not nearly so much noise as in the good old days. Bicycle, of course. Bicycle hits every
