10 per cent on the valuation of the prev

value of the money of the entire world

such figures without graphic Illustration.

Semi-Centennial Jubilee of Utah in
the fourth week of July, 1897.
The odium forced upon Mormonism
by Christian and other people of the
United States, who were welded to

from their satisfying dream of con-

revived faith 10 be seen at it's best.
But in Utah. where the olive branch

peace, it should be easily the proper
thing, at this time. to tell the truth
and shame the fictions of the past.

n Word about Firecrackers.

The Fourth of July would not be the.
Fourth Of July without firecrack-
ers. The fascination which attaches
to them is truly wonderful. Their
cheapness goes long way in adding TO
their popularity. Il is said that the
Cinnamon who makes them gets 80
cents box or gives so crackers for
cent, he furnishing the material.
For the benefit Of our young readers
THE NEWS gives this bit of information
about them:
Nearly all of the firecrackers that
reach America come from the neighbor
hood Of Singapore. Even the smallest
children are employed in making them.
No little skill must be required in roll
ing them so neatly and compactly, each
one the same size with its bit of gum
powder in the middle and fuse run
ming through it for lighter. The very
plating Of the fuses in an ingenious
fashion adopted for rendering the toy
explosives compact, doubtless involves
much dexterity. Some significance is
supposed to be attached TO the green
and yellow crackers, two or three of
which are included in every pack.
Children call them 'kingsnand" queens
aud imagine that they go off with q
louder bang.
In China the business Of making fire.
crackers is conducted chiefly in factor
les where the workers sit on stools at
long benches. Rapidity OF production
is greatly increased by the system adop-
ted, which distributes the labor. Each
cracker passes through about sixty
hands iu the process of manufacture.
One person makes the fuses, another
cuts them into proper lengths, yet an
other rolls the crackers, his next neigh
Dor stops them up with clay, and so on.
The toy explosives start at one end OF
a bench in the shape of raw material
and comes out at the other end fin
ished cracker. This accounts for the
fact that tirecrackers are as much alike
as so many peas In pod.
All the work is done by hand. The
paper used is of the cheapest kind, and
the first process consists in wrapping 9
piece of it about smooth round stick
several times. A touch of glue is re
quired 10 fasten the end, and then the
little paper tube is pulled off of the
stick one end Of the tube is filled with
clay and into the other end is put 8
small quantity of gunpowder. A fuse
is inserted and this end likewise stopped
with clay. The crackers thus producet
are conveyed to another part of this
factory where they are braided together
In packs of sixty-four each the operation
being accomplished with wonderful
dexterity and quickness. Finally tn,
packs are put up in wrappers to whicl
labels are attached. The labels which
are printed on the crudcst of hant
presses, are adorned with queer-look
ing dragons and hieroglyphics.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

A fact often overlooked, or always under
stood, is that women suffer as much from dis
uessing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back Of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply
with smarting or burning, these are also con
vincing proofs Of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's
swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise
you. II stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. II you take a medicine you should take
the best. Al druggists fifty cents and one dol
Tar. You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention
HERALD and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
