ers are only source Of danger when
some one plays with them, holds
them in his hands until they explode,
etc.
In conversation with the Palladium
DR.. Davis remarked: Gas the Fourth
Of July approaches there comes with
it the danger from the careless hand
ling and use of firearms on that day.
On the last Fourth of July there oc-
Cured injuries which resulted in
four hundred and thirteen cases of
lockiaw. Of this number four hum
dred and six cases were fatal. Think
of it. Four hundred and six children
dead from the use Of toy pistols, etc,
which caused lockjaw. This dread
disease. which is almost incurable, re-
suits from the deeper tissues being
injured by the explosion of giant
crackers and more particularly the
use of toy pistols, these latter being
by far the most dangerous of all. No
fatalities were reported from the use
of torpedoes or the common crackers
of usual size. therefore these are
reasonably safe. But the illuminate
use with the toy pistol and dynamite
cartridge carries with it into the It's
sues the germs Of tetanus, or lock-
Jaw. Deep wounds from blank car
tridges are equally dangerous. Par
ents therefore cannot be too careful
in supervising the kind Of
fireworks purchased by their children
if they want therl to pass through the
Fourth safely. All these things will
cause lockjaw as surely as they have
caused it in the past. Firecrackers
and torpedoes are safe and the child
gets as much enjoyment out of them
as out of the more deadly affairs.'
"But do regular revolvers cause
lockiaw as much as toy pistols?"
"Well, they are only safer in hav-
ing better guard for the hand, and
there is not so much liability of the
Fwad' going into the flesh. The back

is totally unprotected, and the trig-
ger 'bites' the cartridge.'
"Can the danger of lockjaw be
eliminated by any protection for the
hand? ?"
emo, for if the wad did 60 into the
flesh, it would easily carry with it
pieces of the glove or other protection
and this would only make matters
worse. Lockjaw is not caused by
grains Of powder falling on or burn
ing into the flesh, but only by the ac-
cidental handling Of the pistol which
might allow the wad to be driven
straight into the hand or other part
of the body. Carelessness has some
thing to do with the getting Of lock-
jaw"
"Firecrackers and torpedoes, then
are the only safe things?"
"Yes.'

DIR. Davis, the city health officer is
of the firm opinion that only two
things should be used on the Fourth
of July, common Chinese frecrack-

have never been known to injure any
one in any way yet, and the frecrack-
ers are only a source Of danger when

The crystalline form of the diamond
is undoubtedly due to the action Of
heat. and the occurrence of these stones
in igneous rocks and mica slate, espe-
cially at the Cape, lends color to the
view that they have been metamor-

graphite.
This complete change may have been

Never die effect follow cause more
swiftly. surely and ruinously than did
the panic Of 1898 follow the Demo
cratic tariff tinkering. Under the Nc
Kinley tariff law of 1890 the country
had prospered generally and solidly,
but Mr.. Cleveland and the party that
elected him were not pleased with such
condition. They wanted to do some
tinkering, and they did It with such
success, from their own point of view,
that the business Of the country was
paralyzed, the wheels OF industry made
Idle and millions of wageworkers de-
prived of employment
That time of panic, of stress and suf-
fering has not been forgotten. Bitter
memories Of it still linger IN the minds
of the American people. who knew ut

MAY DAY FESTIVALS.


They Were Celebrated In the Time Of
the Ancient Romans.
For ages May day has been time Of
general rejoicing. All over Christen-
dom its advent is hailed with delight.
The birds, the bees and the flowers
join us in an annual celebration Of the
day. Nature has at last thrown off the
snow quilt with which she has braved

streams have broken their icy letters
and burst forth into joyous accompani-
ments to nnyriads of bird choristers.
And humanity. overpowered by the
same glad spirit, seeks the woods and
the fields to revel in the wealth of YER
dure so lavishly spread out
Among the Romans this feeling found
vent in their Floralia, or fiorea games,
which began on the 2Sth of April and
lasted several days. We read that
nations taking more or less their ORR
gin from Rome have settled upon the
LIST of May as the special time for
fetes of the same kind. With ancients
and moderns alike it was an instructive
rush into the fields to revel in the bloom
which was newly presented on the
meadows and the trees

The tariff has protected the country
from disintegration as well as from for
eign competition by tending to make
the states one country. The. fathers
were wise enough to provide for this
very condition Of things by forbiddine
tariff charges by state against state.

have practically annexed themselves

things would have been out Of the
question. The states economic union
has proved the opportunity for and the
foundation of national protection and
has created the more perfect political
union which now prevails,
Union, in other words, is protection,
and protection is union. The magnifi-
cent heritage which Mr. Atkinson re-
joiced in is heritage Of economic In
dependence joined with that of the
