She Knew the Day. WELL

A Door little faded woman had been
brought into court as witness in case
Involving very important issues. The
entire case depended on the fact that
a paper had been signed on certain
day, and this the forlorn little woman
was prepared to prove. :
"You saw the paper signed?" asked
the opposing counsel In cross examina-

And you take your oath that 1t was
the 18th Of Augusta"

The lawyer, who thought another
date could be proved, assumed an ex-
asperating smile and repeated her
words. y =.
"You know it was? And now be so
good as to tell us how you know it."
The poor little creature looked from
one countenance to another with wide,
sorrowful eyes, as II she sought under
standing and sympathy; then her gaze
rested on the kindly face of the Judge.

him alone, because that was the day

In one Of the old Greek cities there
stood long ago statue. Every trace
Of it has vanished now, but there Is
still in existence an epigram which
gives us an excellent description of it.
and as we read the words we can sure
" discover the lesson which those wise
old Greeks meant that the statue
should teach to every 'passerby. The
epigram is In the. form Of converse
ton between traveller and the statue:

A mania for speculative assurances
On the lives Of public personages pre-
vailed in England during the eight
zenith century. Warren Hastings, the
pretender, the rebel lords or the un-
fortunate Admiral Byng answered
equally the purpose of speculation, and
there were also regular quotations on
the lives Of notorious highwaymen.
Sir Robert Walpole at one period Of
his career, when his life was endan-
gered by popular tumults, was insured
for many thousands, and when George
II. fought at Dettingen Is per cent was
paid against his return. Such specula-
tive assurances were, however largely
checked by the gambling act Of 1774,
which made insurable interest neces-
sary condition for valid policy.-Ar

When the party was complete they proceeded through the deserted streets of the town firing guns and setting off punches of snap crackers to arouse the sleepers. Several of the boys car ried horns, which they blew to their hearts content A number of citizens who did not relish having their mOrn- ing maps thus fudely disturbed stuck their heads out of their windows and said uncomplimentary things to them, but they only laughed and fired off more crackers. Their teeth chattered with excitement or cold-it is not cer- tain which-but they did not mind it and kept up the merriment. Down on the main thoroughfare of the town the restaurants had already opened for business. From hall above the stores the music of band played for the dancers who had remained up all night to usher in the day. With the first peep of day the bells in every steeple began to peal out a sunrise salute. while from the hilltop back of the canal a cannon roared out.
 By this time the city was awake,
 
 people. Excursion trains from distant points arrived every few minutes and added their human freight to the bus ting crowds. Farmers from the sur rounding country with their families loaded on OK carts and farm wagons drove into the public square and be- came a part of the multitude. At z o'clock came the parade of 'fantas- tics"
 At 10 o'clock the great civic and mil itary parade marched through the streets to the music of innumerabl bands. There were fire companies in red shirts and black helmet hats draw ing the hand engines, or machines" as they were called. There were com panies of Masons and Odd Fellows in their regalias, platoons of policemen in uniform, squads of cavalry with sa- bers clanking at their sides, regiments of soldiers with the guns they had car ried in the field, wagons loaded with girls in white representing all the states of the Union, floats upon which were represented scenes in the pioneer days of the republic and carriages con- taining the city officials and distin- guished guests. Thousands of people crowded the sidewalks and buildings on either side of the route of parade and added their shouts to the noise of exploding gunpowder. When the pro- cession reached the park literary exer- cises consisting of the reading of the Declaration of Independence, an ora tiOn by the local congressman, an orig inal poem by budding genius and the singing of America" were held.
 The afternoon was devoted to com petitive trials between the fire compa- nies, to boat races on the river, to chasing a greased pig and climbing a

FIRST AID ID
 THE INJURED

which every mother should
 Fl have at hand on the Fourth
 A porcelain or agate pitcher and basin, q package of absorbent cotton and one of iodoform gauge, some safety pins, a carbonic solution, solution of Hnseed oil and> limewa- ter, d solution of boric acid, antiseptic soap. flaxseed for poultices and q sur geons probe. The carbolic solution is known as the "2 per cent" a teaspoon- ful of carbolic acid to a pint of water. The boric solution calls for a teaspoon full of the acid to a glass of warm wa ter.
 The simplest form of injury from fireworks is the burn. Cover the burn If at all severe with a solution of lin seed oil and limewater and swathe in antiseptic gauge. Simple remedies for burns from punk and matches, of which children acquire a goodly num- Der on the Fourth, are white of egg, which covers the burn like mucilage and keeps out the air, and common baking soda in the proportion of one tablespoonful of soda to half a glass of water. Cover with gauge.
 Another very common accident on Independence day is the explosion or shooting of powder into the face. Do not allow the boy to pick this powder out for himself, but send him at once to surgeon after bathing the face with carbolic solution and covering 1t with antiseptic gauge. This does not relieve the pain or remove the powder hut ;+ from carrying poisonous matter into torn pores
 When the powder is blown into the eyes and the injury seems slight do not touch with the fingers, but have the patient bathe the eyeballs with the solution of boric acid, one tablespoon full of acid to a glass of warm water. This will prevent bloodshot, but the patient should be taken at once to an oculist or, If one cannot be found, to a regular surgeon.
 When the explosion tears open the feshy part of the hand the home nurse must exercise her utmost skill and pa. tience. The patient will demand i'm mediate relief-sOmething ito make him feel better"-but here she takes her first step to ward off lockiaw. The wound must not be touched save with sterilized implements and fab rics. Place the agate basin over the gas flame and throw into the water the probe with which you expect to take out the offending piece of wad- ding.
 Turn back your sleeves and wash your hands thoroughly in antiseptic soap and water as hot as you can bear 1t and thereafter touch nothing with your hands except antiseptic articles. Have some one remove the agate pan from the gas stove after the water in water and probe are absolutely asep- tic. Remove the wadding from the wound with the probe and bathe the wound with the sterilized water and a carbolic solution in the proportions given above. Use absorbent antisep- tic cotton, and each time you are through with a piece of the cotton throw it away, but do not lay it back in the water.
 Wrap in iodofOrm gauge and leave the rest to the surgeon. Linseed oil and limewater will relieve the pain; but, not being purely aseptic, they car " danger with relief. Cleanliness and freedom from death dealing germs are more important at this stage of the proceedings than relief from pain.

An Object Lesson.

People are careless" said the man with the big firecracker in his hand. "If they would exercise common sense we would hear less of accidents on the Fourth"
 He touched the lighted end of his cigar to the fuse and resumed:
 There is no danger in the use of fireworks if those who handle them think of the risk they are running. have shot off firecrackers since I was old enough to strike a match and never even got a finger burned"
 A smile of recollection came upon his face and he dropped his hand idly to his side while he said:
 ''I remember once when my Uncle Thomas came to our house on the Fourth. I was a small boy at the time, but I recall distinctly that we had an old toy cannon. and Uncle Thomas in sisted upon telling us boys how to fire it. Well, sir, he'-
