mist over his soul. Already he dreams of rambling in green fields and beside running waters. He sees Laura in her own happy home, with tall and hand some husband waiting on every glance, and he, poor Spook, has a place and a share near her. He smiles more sweet ly. He is growing we'll and strong, and the old life of misery is all slipping away and being forgotten. His soul has travelled on ahead little way and opened up to him in his dream the real and happy future dating from that Fourth of July morning when he cele- brated.-Detroit News-Tribune,

ure of a boy whose size indicated about the age of z, but whose face said 12. The latter told the truth. The boy was emaciated to the last degree that one could hope to find him out of his bed, and his face was the color of chalk. His coloriess lips were thin and delicate, and his eyes, large and burn ing and sunk in dark shadows, looked spectral in the gloom of the dirt strewn hallway.
 The lawyers words concerning the cyclone and earthquake had been meaningless to the author of them, but they were not meaningless to Spook. He knew the story of the pretty, pale factory girl in the attic room, penned up with an old woman who did not hesitate to abuse her every day and many times a day-that is, he knew that the girl called the old woman grandma" and that grandma" claim ed that that relationship existed be- tween them; knew also that there had been of late rumors afioat to the effect that Laura was not the old woman's S granddaughter, that there was some money somewhere that ought to be Laura's and that the old woman could straighten things out if she would, but that this she refused to do. This much of a story had been roughly woven to- gether in the neighborhood. How near to the truth it came none of the deni- zens actually knew, but Spook accepted 1t. gathered it carefully together and placed it in his mind as a sort of an environment about the words dropped by the lawyer.
 Meantime Lawyer Darke went to his office to try and devise some new scheme for the benefit of his client, and the client, Harry Marsden, started for home. The real known facts from which these two hoped to develop 8 case of interest and good to all con- cerned were these:
 About a year previous Harry Mars den had come into possession of for den, who had died in England. The will had stated that Harry was made heir, as the nearest of kin known to be living, but that there was possibility of the existence of a stepdaughter, the child of the uncle's wife by former marriage; that if this girl could be found within the space of ten years half of the property was to be hers. The girl, the will continued, was born in 1874. At the age of years, only few months after the marriage of Jo- seph Marsden to the young widow. the

How They Are Now Manufactured En

How They Are Now Manufactured En
 the United States.
 A few years ago all the firecrackers with which American boys and girls celebrated the Fourth of July were brought over from China. But Yankee ingenuity soon found a way to make its own firecrackers, and now the Chinese actually celebrate with the fireworks of the finer kinds sent over from America, says the Chicago Record.
 The Chinese probably made firecrack- CTS thousands of years ago. They were the first to discover gunpowder, and the very old books tell how the Chinese had curious art of making "devouring fire'' and causing the earth ito thunder right terribly" The discovery of pow der was due to the presence of vast beds of saltpeter in the plains of China and India. Some Chinaman was camp ing perhaps near these beds and left some charcoal from his campfire. In some way the saltpeter and the char coal became mixed, and the next camp CT who built his fire in that spot was no doubt startled by seeing the rocks blaze up furiously. It was only a step then to the addition of sulphur to this flashing powder and presently to the production of fireworks.
 eFirecrackerS are made by hand in China, but the Yankee has invented few simple but effective devices by means of which an American girl can make as many crackers in one day as 15 or 20 Chinamen and make them bet ter too.
 The firecracker tubes are made by rolling sheets of strawboard over a steel roll, forming a tube just the size of the intended firecracker. The fuse is of spun cotton, soaked in a mixture of starch and fine gunpowder, and is fastened into the tube by means of a packing of clay, which hardens into a firm plug. .fs.
 The explosive mixture, which is of charcoal, bichromate of potash and chlo- rate of potash, is put into the crackers 100 at time, and the bottom Is then plugged with a bit of cork, which is rammed down hard on the powder. After being dried for time the crack CTS are by girls coated with red and green and yellow paper and then braid ed into punches and packed away to await the Fourth of July. Chinese fire crackers may still be had in the mar ket, but they are generally regarded as less excellent in quality than those made in this country. But they will all pop, and that is all any boy wants.

FREEDOMS ANNIVERSARY.

< F1utter the flags from school and steeple; Throb the drums over road and street; \ Thrill the air with the shouts of people, ~ Eager the day of their pride to greet. Children hail it with gleeful voices, Old men flush its thunders break, Telling aloud how the land rejoices ! From the pine to the palm for freedoms sake. Freedom, over the stormy waters,
 Brought by handful, faint and few, Birthright of our sons and daughters,
 Hallowed by valor and long years through. Freedom! Lord, let the four winds sing it!
 Freedom! Soft let us breathe its name. Far and wide let the strong bells ring it:
 Wide and far be its lofty fame. Lift we now triumphant chorus; God be praised both by great and smalli Ever his dear love watcheth o'er us;
 Still his banner is over us all. Through the desert he safely led us;
 Into the promised land we came. In our want and our griefs he fed us;
 Ever, forever we'll praise his name. Dawns the day in summer splendor-
 Day that dawned amid blood and tears, Back in the time when surrender
 Brave men made unto coward fears Tell to our boys and girls the story,
 How they wrought for the nations veal Who thenceforward have this their glory
 Tempted and tried, they were true as steel.

The 2d of July marked the adoption by congress of the resolution of inde- pendence, the sufficient legislative act. On the Fourth occurred the declaration itself. But not till the following 2d of August did the ceremony of signature take place, though this has furnished to the popular mind the common picto- rial and dramatic conception of the event.-Bufalo Express.

 buy him from her and place him in the niche designed for him she did not dream. Neither did Spook. He only knew that with the explosion of the frecracker in the dark stairway some thing had come to him like the sudden opening and shutting of a door through which he had seen clearly to the end.
 But he must have some money. Spook had never begged upon the street. His spectral face would have been an effec- tua1 one for the purpose, but there was something within him which absolutely refused to do the degrading act, and no amount of threats had forced him to it. But tonight he must have money. Not very much, but money, and goaded on by his affection for the beautiful Laura he laid aside all scruples so strangely imbedded in his mind, strange because of his environment and experience.
 He paused where the light from an electric tower fell upon his thin, rag clad form and on his phantom face, with its burning eyes. He put out his hand to the first we'll dressed passerby and said little waveringly:
 Please give me some money. I want some fireworks"
 The man paused and looked curious ly at the child.
 "So it isn't bread you want? It's fireworks? We'll, you are honest, any way. Here's half dollar"

ISOLATION HOSPITAL BILL.
Wauwatosa Citizens Oppose the Location
of Such Instition Within Its
Iimffa.

The Milwaukee Isolation Hospital
bill was under consideration at Madi-
son before the committee on cities
Tuesday afternoon. A delegation of
Wauwatosa citizens were present to
oppose the aforesaid bin, but no action
toward its removal was taken. Speeches
were made by Assemblyman Hartung,
DR.. j. W. Coon of the Milwaukee
Health Department, c. A. Koeffier OF
milwaukee,, William Davelaar, and c..
b. Perry of Wauwatosa. The bill
under consideration was Mr. Thies-
seuhusen's measure authorizing the
placing of the hospital beyond the city
| limits.
DR.. Coon pointed ont the need for
the bin, and the necessity for moving
the hospital outside the city, He did
not believe that the hospital would in
iure anybody if located outside the
city, Objection from neighbors would
simply be the result OF prejudice.
Assemblyman Hartung of Wauwa-
tosa opposed the hospital being located
outside the city limits There was
ample room inside the city, Mr., Har-
tung saiA. The city ought TO take care
of its own sick, and it ought to have
it's contagious hospital within its own
limits Mr.. Hartung said that he was
not opposed to proper sanitary protec-
tion for Milwaukee, but he believed
that no other city or town in the
county ought to be required to have
the hospital in its limits.
Mr. Perry appearing against the BILL
said the whole question depended on
whether there was room within the
Milwaukee city limits, for the hospital
There was plenty of land in the city
which was recently annexed from the
town Of Wauwatosa, where a hospital
could be built, and have distance of
$50 feet from the nearest buildings
There was probably considerable agita-
ton by the residents and property
owners near the present hospital for
the removal OF that institution, but
this was no reason why the people Of
any locality outside the city should be
compelled to have the hospital among
them.

reached the school that Mrs Z. A. Rey-
nolds Of Port Washington, was dead.
10 her many friends the news came
without warning. Less than year
ago she left us to become bride, and
she did not go alone. for many hearts
accompanied her. She has been missed
this year not only in our schools, but
also IN she Congregational Church and
Sabbath School. Her sweet womanly
manner and sterling Christian charac-
ter won all hearts. The little chill
dren will long remember Our Miss
Crockett, many are the loving mess
ages which they have entrusted this
year TO her older friends, and wh ch
they, alas, sometimes forgot to forward.
Truly our hearts ache. for a dearly
loved friend has gone from US. She
will be an enduring power for good in
the lives Of both her Sabbath school
girls and the little ones who spent a
year in her gentle presence.

ers Of our schools at the last services,
which were held at Roscoe, H., on
