and swan under the water as long as
his breath would permit, and when he
arose again to the surface the face
had disappeared.
ssIt'll go this time," he said, as he
rejoined his friend, and they started
for the shore. Quickly putting on
their clothing as soon as they arrived
they ran toward their cover, and just
as they arrived, shout went up that
sounded above the noise of the
guns. They turned and looked to-
ward the sloop. A long tongue Of
flame was shooting up over the bow.
It ran along the bowsprit, it spread
over the rigging and climbed the
broken mast. Again a shout arose
from the men on shore. The crew of
the sloop were taking their wounded
and dead, and in their yawls were
starting for Staten Island.
Not gun was firing now, for none
would harm the wounded, but scarcely
Lad they disappeared before, with a
report like thunder, the blazing sloop
was blown into a thousand fragments,
and then an unbroken stiffness came
ever the sound.
sThat's the best bonfire we ever
had" said Joseph, as he and John
were walking up the quaint old street
toward their homes, but his friend
made no reply.
Just before the time when the sloop
was set on fire the congress at Phila-
delphia was a new nation in the world.
Bells were ringing, guns were fired
and bonires lighted throughout the
city. News travelled slowly in those
days, but on the Sth the reportreached
Trenton. There the provincial con-
sress, the committee and the people
assembled, end guns again were heard
and bonfres rekindled. On the 9th
the tidings reached Elizabethtown,
and the same scenes were enacted.
On the 10th New York was all ablaze,
and parades and bonfres were the
order Of the day.
Eve looked the matter up" said
Joseph Swan to his friend, 'and from
all I can learn, our celebration at the
point when we fired the British sloop
was just thirty minutes ahead OF the
celebration at Philadelphia. We didn't
know it, but we had the first one in
America-hurrah for the Fourth OF

you?' said the captain.
EYES, replied John. But the
prospect was frightful.
How could they approach the sloop
without being seen? Aud if they
were, it, wonld mean the death of
both.
II know it looks desperate,' said
the captain, reading their thoughts,
''but we'll hold their attention on this
side and J. don't think they'll be on the
lookout for danger from the sound.
Somebody must try it, and will you
be the ones?"
my mother told me not to be shot
in the back said Joseph with
strange choking in his throat. EFF it
must be done, we may as well try it as
any one. What do you say, John?'

Cold Teeth Are Bad Form.

Fashions new fat is that there shall
be no more gold in teeth. Gold in the
midst of ''row OF pearls" the leaders
say, is horribly conspicuous, and it is
very bad form. None OF the yellow
metal shoald show when q society
belle or beau laughs, and such q thing
as half front tooth Of gold must no
more be seen.
It is still allowable to use gold
where there is no possibility of its
showing, but in any other case the
new rule OF fashion is exceedingly pos
tive
It is not proposed that where gold
is already in place it shall be taken
out, but the ':orders' are to use other
materials from now on, especially III
the case Of the upcoming generation.
In the place of gold the fashionable
dentists are now using q white metal

hard looks precisely like the tooth It

Rats Drafted Into Service.

Tom Mcguire is a genius. He is
yard foreman at the Laclede Gas
Company's plant. \ sewer pipe lead
ing from one Of the buildings to the
river bank, 16O feet away, became
cIogyed. The pipe was sixteen feet
below the surface. Mcguire had
been thinking about plan for several
days. One night he caught two big
gray rats, and these he determined to
put into the sewer. They were taken
to the mouth at the river bank and re-
leased. The opening was then closed
securely behind them, leaving the an
imals with only one chance Of life.
That was to go straight ahead. And
they did. Several more rats were
caught and turned into the sewer, un-
til dozen were gnawing away in the
pipe. The morning after the last de-
tachment joined the main army water
began to trickle from the pipe. Iron
rods and steam were applied. In ten
minutes the sewer was clear.-St.

How to Clean Glass.

For the annual work of the spring
cleaning there is nothing more I'M
portant to have properly done than
the washing an5 polishing of the win
dows. While bright weather is re-
garded as necessary in most branches
Of home cleaning, dull, cloudy day
should be selected for the windows,
as experienced housekeepers say the
cleaning cannot be satisfactorily done
when the sun is shining on the glass.
When ready to begin, the windows
should be we'll wiped with soft, dry
cloth to free them from dust and
smoke, then quickly washed with
warm water to which little powdered
borax is added, and dried. To polish
the glass: After cleaning, small
muslin bag should be filed with
whiting, to which a little borax IS
added, and the windows freely busted
with it, then rubbed off, and polished
with old newspapers. Windows thus
treated will be clean and bright, and
will keep clean a long time 4.

waited for the blaze. But the fash

appeared. Another minute passed,
and another, and still no blaze was

he took the flint snd tinder and was
rejoiced when the first spark fell he
saw little tongue of fame appear.
Satisfied that this time there would
be no failure, he hurriedly slid into
sslse- -#ate- and started toward his COM
panion. He had gone but a few yards
when he turued to look at the sloop.
What was that he saw? The face of
a man peering over the rail. He had
been discovered. He quickly sank
