Where They Were First Used anc
When Gunpowder Was Discovered.
What do you suppose the little peo
pie of foreign countries do where they
do not celebrate the Fourth of July
where they have no Independence
day.?
Wouldn't it be sad if there were nc
day in the United States when you are
all at liberty to make just as much
noise as you please? When there
would be no opportunity to burn fin
gers and scare babies and generally
upset things?
Did you ever think of this?
Over in England they celebrate the
5th of November in memory of a great
plot that was discovere ! on that day
many, many years ago to murder the
king and all his coulse!ors. There
was man named Gay Fawkes, who
agreed to blow up tie council cham

Did you ever know that the Chi
nese were the first to discover gun
powder and to make fireworks?
Well, they were! Hundreds Of years
before the European people knew any
thing about it, the Chinese understood
the combination of saltpetre, charcoal
and live sulphur, and knew that this
mixture would explode very easily. In
all the Asiatic countries this knowl'
edge spread until the time of the first
historians in Rome and Greece, who
speak about the rockets used by their
fierce Eastern foes.
Then, about six or seven hundred
years ago, it was introduced into Eng
land by some sailors from the East,
and, as you probably know, great i'm
provements have been made in its
manufacture up to the present day.
The Chinese always celebrate New

Hamilton was expected in three days
now, when, no doubt, matters would
settle In their old place. The bank
examiner, meanwhile, would in any
case soon be there. For the rest, Mr..
Hamiltons bondsmen, Carter, Hender-

all the bank books, looking up col

thousand dollars. But there were one
or two erasures in the balance sheets,
difficult to understand, and yet which
might be made to come right in the
hands of the bank examiner. 1t was
too soon to say there was anything
wrong.
No reply came to the letter Mrs.

CHAPTER III.

Cashiers Matters at the Bank.
| Constance was left prey to anx-
lous thoughts while Tony went on
toward the mill building, a long, low.
built structure on the river bank.
Tony asked to see Mr.. Carter, and
was directed to his Office, a comfort
able enough apartment at the rear OF
The building.
"Mr. Carter, have you seen Mr..
Hamilton, this morning-or last
night?"
Seen Mr.. Hamilton! What do you
mean, young man? You ought to
know l haven't without asking" he
said irritably.
"Mr. Hamilton was at the bank
last night, that's all, said Tony.
"And never came near the mill!
Look here, Henderson," he called.
"Vane has come, and we can get him
to straighten that consignment mat
ter"
"By George, I'm glad of it. You
know, Carter, l said this morning he
was likely to walk in at any time"
But it seems he hasn't" said Tony,
coolly, amused, in spite of his anxi-
ETY., at their readiness to shuttle off
their responsibilities. And then he
told them the facts as he had done
to Mrs. Hamilton.
'By George! That looks bad, don't
it, Carter?"
yes; where can he be now"
That's the question. Perhaps he
came back after something, and didn't
want to trouble Constance by going
there. She, of course, would object
to his going away again, and he knows
it. He knows very well, too, that his
mysterious journeys vex her, as we'll
they might"
Where does he go, Carter, every
year in May?"
"You know as well as l do. / only
hope there's no danger in it, that's
all. Seems as if there must be, or
he would tell Constance"
"Mr. Carter, your niece would like
to have you step up to the house."

BoBBY'S NIGHTMARE.

A very patriotic American who has
made a study of the development OF
our country into the great free repub-
lie 1t is to-day will agree with a recent
writer who has said: ut is not an
idle curiosity merely that moves US
to hold aside the veil which time has
interposed between the past and the
present, so that we may more closely
scan the conduct and demeanor of our
revolutionary ancestors at critical or
exciting junctures. Rather is 1t a
natural feeling of filial pride and af-
lection, coupled with the confident
conviction that although they were
men of the same clay as ourselves,
and subject to the foibles and infirm-
tiles which have been the heritage OF
men in all ages and lands. they were
yet unsoiled by the meaner frailties
and vices which have so often degrad-
ed peoples and nations. we're endowed
with manlier, more robust and more
steady virtues than the generality OF
men, and could safely stand the test
OF the most trying scrutiny to which
their acts and motives might be sub
jectcd."

SAD SIGHT IN INDIA.
Hillmen stagger Under Burden or
Immense Planks. !

Immense Planks.
No sadder sight is to be seen i'm
India than the spectacle of THE
Men With the Planks," staggering
along under their burden. Here Is
grimly pathetic picture of them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
"They are hillmen of the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
into Simla. Each beam is from twelve
to fourteen feet in length, and two
or three make up load. The men
are ill-clad, and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to-
the color of brown earth. They bear
the blanks across their bent backs
and the burden is grievous. They
come from a place some days journey
toward the SHOWS. They plod along
from the dawn to the twilight. They
seem crushed by the weight of the
beams, and their gait is more the gait
of stumbling beast than the walk or
a man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as it hangs by each side or
their touchdown faces The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brows is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file. and when the path
is narrow they must needs move side
ways. The path is in a soli-
tude among bare and pitiless hills;i
the road is as old as the world; and
in the weary dust Of it many hun
dreds have dropped and died. Along
it steals this patient line of groaning
men, bending under the burden of the
planks upon their backs. Behind
them a rosy-tinted light is falling upon
the spotless SHOWS, and it needs only
the pointing figure of Dante on one
of the barren peaks to complete the
picture Of a circle in Purgatory."

death closed the doors of earth.
Evening in majestic shadows fell upon
the fortress walls;
Sweetly the last bells were ringing on
the James and on the Charles.
Mid the choruses of freedom two de-

He was gone and night her sable curtain
drew across the sky;
Gone his soul into all nations, gone to live
and not to die.
And the clock of Monticello
Seemed repeating Ger and Ger,
In the silence of the still room,
In the silence of the death room,
Dams lie silence des trombeaux,

The clock stood in JeferSOn's room
and the statesman arose each morning
Uhen he could see the time by the

July 4th, 1886.
Twas midsummer; cooling breezes all the
languid forests famed,
And the angel of the evening drew her
curtain DER the land.
Like an isle rose Monticello through the
shades of ripping trees,

Ceased the knocking bird his singing.

Seemed repeating Ger and Ger
The old legend of the dial, Provencal
Jamais! Toutours!
Jamais! Toujours!
What is done is done forever,

like the shadow of a cloud.
In the past his soul is living as in fifty
years ago,
Hastes again to Philadelphia, hears
again the Schuylkill flow

Meets with Hancock, young and courtly;
Meets again calm Roger Sherman, fiery
Lee and Carroll bold;
Meets the sturdy form of Franklin, meets
the half a hundred men
Who have made themselves immortal

And the clock of Monticello, in the ST.

Seemed repeating DER and Ger,
Jamais! Toujoursi
Jamais! Toujours!
What is now is evermore!
