In China firecrackers can be purchas.
ed at cost of 62 cents for 10, 900, al.
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This is but little more than
the actual cost of manufacture. The
straw paper used is of the cheapest
grade. The powder is also of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably ac-
counts for so many "sizzers" in every
pack.
Most Of the firecrackers are made by
women and children at their homes, and
rapid workers are able to earn from 8
to cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents while novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
same as those paid the common laborer.
Besides being unhealthy, the work of
making firecrackers is more or less dan
gerous, yet the hours of labor are from
6 a. m. to II p. m. seven days in the
week

The next dietetic fad is going to be
banana -four. Manufacturers are expert

wheat -four and make much more

great army of banana consumers are pre-
pared to accept eagerly its further de-
velopment.- New York Post.

A Distressing Outlook.

A little Cleveland girl was greatly
worried by the misfortune of favorite
playmate. The latter injured her knee
by fall, and for time it was feared
she might lose the limb. Happily this
contingency was avoided, and in time
the sufferer completely recovered. But
when the outlook was dark indeed the
sympathetic girl burst in on her mann
ma one day with the following excited
query:
"Oh, mamma, did you know it was
Bella's vaccination leg that was
hurted?'
No, mamma didn't know it.
"Well, it is, =" cried the little sympa-
thizer, land, oh, mamma, just think
if they cut off her leg she'll have to be
vaccinated all over againp'-Cleveland

Individual Odors.

Every human being has q specific
odor of his own, according to A. Bethe
in the Archiv der Gesammten Physiolo-
gle, by which he can be recognized not
merely by dogs but by persons with SEN
sitive organs of smell. The case is men
toned of a man who blindfolded could
pick out each individual in a company
of 20 by his odor.
The smell is not born with us, but
develops gradually till the age of puber-
ty, after which it remains unchanged.
Members of family have kind of
common odor, which persists even when
they have lived apart for long time.

Tho rullness Thereof.

Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness therof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
so much. From big pains to little
aches. which are the wear and tear
Of the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises, or Of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy Of st. Jacobs on
and the fullness thereof in so many
complete and perfect cures make II
stand out as the best remedy for pain
Why, then, should we stand on the
order of going for it, and not go al
once? In numberless cases the aggra'
vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?
