spent on the display OF fireworks in
connection with her majesty's jubilee
was $l,250,000, The display at the close
of the Crimean war cost $500.000. The
largest individual exhibitions by the
firm were given on the Tagus for the
Portuguese government; the second in
1883 costing $4,000. while the first.
which was made on the occasion of the
marriage in 1856 of the king then
crown prince of Portugal, cost half
that amount. The display at Delhi
when the queen was proclaimed en-
press of India cost S17500 Some of
the most costly fireworks are those

For CHARITY.

THE woman had stated her case.
She was well-gowned woman and
her face bespoke her as of the socially
elect. The charity she represented was
In want-a new tire-escape was needed
for one of the outbuildings and the
Ladies' Aid society had undertaken to
collect the money, from the charitably
inclined.
The man listened quietly and then
told the woman he would see what he
could do. He arose and went into the
inner office, intending to send out a
crisp two-dollar bill, but on opening
the money drawer he was confronted
by glittering array of new five and
ten-cent pieces. And then this thought
came upon him:
Instead OF giving two dollars to this
charity for fire-escape, why not take
two dollars in dimes and nickels and
go out on the street and give to every
poor person who asks you until the
entire two dollars is gomez"
And SO he told his clerk to inform
the woman who was waiting in the
outer office that unfortunately con-
tribution could not be spared to-day.
1t was five o'clock in the afternoon,
the lamps were lit, the streets were in
stinct with life, the air was keen. And

pockets, and putting on his hat and

CONTEST OF THE CORSET.
Advocates and Detractors Meet to
Settle n Long-Disputed
Question.

The seemingly endless discussion
concerning the merits or demerits OF
wearing corsets finds occasional queer
modes of illustration. 1t was at the
North London collegiate school for
girls that there was recently held a
contest between wearers of corsets and
non-wearers of corsets that was inter
esting in the extreme, to say the least.
NO men were admitted to view the ex-
ercises, but it is safe to say that tick
cts for the performance, If put up at
auction, would have brought prices to
make the Corbett-Sharkcy fight figures
blush into the background There had
been many discussion between the
advocates and the detractors of the
close-titting garment. 1t was finally
decided to settle the matter by prac
tical exhibition. The wearers of cor
sets accepted challenge from the non
wearers to cope with them in any form
OF exercise suggested.
Sixteen girls were selected on either
side. In all fairness, it should be told
that OF the 16 who affected corsets
there was mons conspicuous for an alb
normally small waist. The first trial
was leaping. Neither side scored an
appreciable advantage. The average
leap for the corset wearers was three
feet seven inches, while the abstainers
made an average of three feet six and
one-eleventh inches. Then the long
leap, in which the corset champions
cleared nine feet one and one-quarter
inches, and their rivals nine feet and
four-elevenths of an inch. Among the
non-corset wearers, however, was one
girl who outstripped them all with a
leap of IL feet.
All the girls had trained hard for
the tug of war. The 16 who never wore
the waist had an advantage over their
sisters. who were twice dragged over
the line. On the programme there was
also an endurance run, in which it was
shown that the corset girls had an ad-
vantage in the matter of respiration
rates. In the way of pulse rates, the
other side scored. The breathing ca
Paclly luihlsHeu Spou test anu tHe
corset wearers were found to have
had their capacities diminished by O.s
cubic inches. On the other hand, after
the hard run, the abstainers' breathing
capacity was found to have increased
"A inches.
The test didn't definitely decide the
question, but it gave the young women
a novelty with plenty of fun thrown in.

SOME CURIOUS RECORDS.
One Was the Singing of Fifty-Nine
Hymns in Fifty-r,IGht
Minutes.

A unique record has lately been made
at Bruges-not with the view of prov
ing who should smoke the greatest
quantity of tobacco in given time, but
the more economical one Of finding out
who could make four grammes of tobac-
co last the longest without allowing the
pipe to be eXtinguished. The holder OF
the record contrived to keep his pipe
alight for 81 minutes.
An American pugilist has lately made
n record with the skipping rope. Whilst
training with the rope he made 1856
separate and distinct skips without
stopping. Even if defeated in the ring,
he can boast that he holds a record in
the skipping world.
A German, aged 40, has made another
curious record. He told a friend that
he was going to make record, and did
SO by swallowing $50 fruit stones. Hav-
ing made his record, he experienced en-
cruciating pain. While under treat
ment, on the first day of sojourn in the
hospital the medical men succeeded In
removing 200 stones.
\ very curious record was made re-
Gently by the head carver in a cafe, sit
uated in one of the boulevards of Paris.
A visitor from Cuba offered a prize of
1000 francs to the man who could make
1000 complete sandwiches in "a hours.
The carver accomplished the extraordi-
nary feat in 10 hours, four minutes,
thereby establishing a record in sand
wich cutting.
y record was made a few weeks ago
in stealing, by French lady. She is
middle-aged woman with a passion
for smoking, which has caused her to
make a record in stealing. She has sue
ceeded in pilfering 1900 pipes (all meer-
schaums) which were found 10 her
lodgings.
An extraordinary record has lately
been made by an adjutant Of the Saliva
tion Army. He has achieved the mar
velous record of singing SO hymns in So
minutes. The occasion on which this
record was made was called singing
battle" He began with ~ VIII Follow
Jesus and hymn after hymn followed
swiftly. When he reached the Doxol-
ogy, after singing eight extra hymns,
he was pa minutes ahead of the stipu-
lated time. When he finished he shout
ed: BLESS the Lord, I've broken the
record"
A very curious record was that made |
by Manchester servant girl. She had |
just completed, few weeks ago, her
sixth month in the service of her |
mistress. in the capacity of general"
and in that time she had succeeded in |
breaking 25 cups, 90 glasses, two wash

The most experienced goat grower
in this section is DR.. w. II. Clifton, who

Angoras crossed with natives, from
which he derives profit by the sale Of
hair and of goat meat. Dr. Clifton op-
crates a ranch and farm somewhat on
the principle of a government expert
ment station. He is what Texans call
pretty well fixed, that is to say, he is
able TO bear losses which occasionally
befall him. and his neighbors get much
benefit by observing his experiments.
On the goat question he is no longer at
the experimental stage. His goats,
blooded cattle. horses, burros. white
Holland turkeys and Indian game poul-
try roam the mesquites on familiar
footing and agree in perfect harmony,
each contributing TO the comfort and
safety of all other species of animals.
DR.. Clifton finds the demand for goat
flesh on the increase. Kids are wanted
for table use far beyond the supply.
Orders are here from distant points for
kids for dinners. TO be roasted whole
and served on special occasions. The
demand cannot be supplied from this
region The meat dealers report de-
mand for the flesh of adult goats, some
housekeepers giving preference to
goats flesh over that of good mutton
