Building Of the Ship
Thou. too, sail on, 0 Ship Of State.
Sail on. Union. strong and great;
With ali the hopes OF future years.
Is hanging breathless thy fate.
I'VE know what Master laid thy keel.
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel.
Who made each mast and sail and rope.
What anvils rang. what hammers beat.
In what forge and what heat
We're shaped the anchors of thy hope.

And not rent made by the gale.
In spite Of rock and tempest's roar.
In spite of false liShts on the shore.
Sail on nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts. onr hopes. our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER fears
Are all with thee-are all with thee!''
Fireworks for the Evening.
If there are older people to look after
the fireworks, and fathers and older
brothers are usually quite willing and en-
thusiastic in their assistance, a display of
fireworks and a torchlight procession
about the lawn makes a delightful finish
to the home celebration. For the torch
light parade cattails such grow in
every swamp make the best of torches.

and they will burn quite long enough for
a spirited march. If signal fires are de-
manded, a pan of ashes over which a lit
tie kerosene has been poured and allowed
to soak in, will make an excellent light
with little cost. The pan should be set
up on stump or rock and of course the
children should be warned not to go close
enough to set their clothes afire. Among
the new rockets are some showing red,
white and blue stars. alternating with a
pyrotechnic novelty giving imitation of
the cry of an eagle. Colored paper bal
looms are being bought in quantities this
year, some OF them made in the shape OF
animals. which look very laughable when
floating about.
Treatment for Ordinary Wounds.
While gunshot and toy pistol wounds
are nowadays treated as soon as possible
by skilled surgeons, there are hosts of
minor casualties that may be treated at
home. An ordinary burn should be at
once covered with cotton or cloth soaked
in oil, vaseline or white of an egg. Fail
ing access to these, flour, starch, baking
soda, or even moist clean clay may be
applied in order to exclude the air and
hands should be tightly bound with cloth
moistened In any bland oil or vaseline. A
tourniquet should never be applied above
a burn. For either cut or burn the wound
absolutely clean. In case of bleeding from
minor injuries, ice applied will help the
blood to clot. Let these blood clots re-
main. Torn flesh should be held together
until the arrival of medical aid. II fin

as the surgeon may be able to save 1t on
his arrival. Blood may be stopped from
flowing after cuts IL pressure is applied
terry, by plugging the whole wound with
a clean cloth or by ligaturing an artery
above the cut.

shawl or heavy coat and roll him over
and over to smother the flames. Do not
tear the burned clothing away. Cut it.
Apply oil to burns. Before pricking
blisters sterilize the needle by passing the
point through a flame. For powder burns
on the face call in the doctor. 1t should
be removed within twenty-four hours.
For shock give warm drinks and apply
hot fermentatons.
Fourth of July Lemonade.
The best lemonade is made with boiling
water. Three large lemons or four small
er ones make a quart of lemonade.
Scrub and rinse the lemons thoroughly,
as their rough skins hold many particles
of dust and CRIME. Clip off some of the
utes in little water. Cut two thin cir
cular slices from the center of each
lemon and lay to one side. Press the juice
from the lemons, add sugar to make as
sweet as desired. then pour on the proper
amount of boiling water in which the
yellow peel was stepped Let stand until
cold, then put In the Ice box until ready
to serve. Serve with the slices of lemon
"a couple to each glass; and little chip
ped ice if you are sure of the purity of
the ice. Serve with straws. Slices OF
banana, Strawberries, red raspberries and
bits of pineapple add to the festive ap-
pearance Of the lemonade, and this may
be still further enhanced by little red
currant strawberry or red raspberry |
juice to color it pink.
Lemon Ginger Punch.
Plain lemonade may be metamor-
phosed into lemon ginger punch by ad-
ding to each quart of lemonade an equal |
amount of ginger ale Have ready also
a number of sprays of fresh mint and |
bruise the lower leaves and stems be- |
tween the fingers so as to ring out the |
mint flavor. Put these into the punch a |
half hour before serving. This is par
ticularly popular at afternoon teas, |
piazza or roof parties or any social func- |
tion where men are represented.
