CHOOSING a Builder.

The selection Of builder is quite as
important matter in putting up a
house as the choice of an architect.
Don't choose the cheapest builder
merely because he is cheapest If you
accept his bid, find out the reason of
the cheapness. Frequently the builder
is man Of little means, and often he
operates on borrowed capital Should
the builder become bankrupt or fail to
pay for his labor or materials the own
er, under the mechanics laws of most
states, becomes liable for the builders
debts. This is true even though the
owner has paid the builder for his
work. In order to obtain lis house
free and clear in such case the own
er must meet the builders obligations.
The prudent owner will, of course, pay
for his house only as it is constructed.
Even then it would be useful caution
to make sure that the builder has paid
his Indebtedness on the house. Pay
ments are usually made the builder
when the foundations are done, when
the frame is up, when the house is
closed, when the plastering is finished
and when the completed house is turn
ed over to the owner.-Circle Magazine.

Where She Got the Money.

They were at the circus. The CONVEX.
sation ran to the subject Of how they
had financed their admission ticket
projects. One said she had gathered
rags and sold them. Another had help
ed her brother spade a garden. The
third member Of the party presented
sickly grin and seemed reluctant
about explaining where her half dollar
came from. An explanation seemed
absolutely necessary.
"Lizzie, whah yo' git dat half. dol
lab yo' tipped up to de ticket manY'
"Nevah yo' mind. Yo' all saw me

Usefulness Of Skyrockets.

The white stars in the cheap, one
ball candles are merely balls Of cot
ton soaked with benzine.
Scarcely less indispensable to the
Fourth Of July celebration is the sky
rocket. But hundreds of years before
Fourth Of July celebration was
thought of the skyrocket was used as
a warlike projectile. We are indebted
to the Chinese for this also, though all
the rockets that are now used in this
country are made here.
The rocket was used for purposes Of
war in China as long ago as the early
part of the eighth century. 1t was
soon adopted by the Europeans, who
however, up to the first part Of the
present century used it mainly for sig
mailing and as means of setting fire
ments have been introduced, and rock
cts have been made which will carry
five pound shot 5000 yards.
The motive power Of the rocket is
the pressure against the air Of gases
generated by the burning of the COM
position which it contains. The gases
escape through holes or vents in the
base Of the cylinder containing the
composition and give thus forward
or upward motion Of the rocket, as the
case may be. The long stick or tail
is added to keep the projectile steady
in it's course
Rockets have long been used by the
life saving service as signals, and all
ships carry dozen or more on every
voyage, which they send up as signals
of distress in case disaster overtakes
them. But they are now likely to play
a still more important part in the
work Of saving lives of shipwrecked
mariners since a rocket has been in
vented which bids fair to take the
place of the mortar and shot at pres
ent used to carry lines from the shore
to distressed vessels. ..t.

FREEDOM.

Here in the forest now.
AS that old July
When first our fathers took the vow,
The bluebird. stained with earth and sky,
Shouts from a blowing bough
In green aerial freedom, wild and high,
And now, as then, the bobolink
Out on the uncertain brink
OF the swaying maple swings,
Loosing his song out link by golden link,
While over the wood his proclamation
rings.
A daring boast that would unkingdom
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on bough and
wall
That day the bell of Independence hall
Thundered upon the world the word of
man,
The word God uttered when the world be-
That day when liberty began to be
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea.
But Freedom calls her conscripts now, as
then;
It is an endless battle to be free.
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers rise.
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again, again, will rise Thermopylae;
Again, again, new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled pass.
AS the long ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington
And many q valorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall
Man is the conscript of an endless quest,
A long divine adventure without rest,
holy war, battle yet unwon
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sun.
Each hard earned freedom withers to a
bond;
Freedom forever is beyond-beyond!
Edwin Markham in Independent.

East Indian Muslin Test,

A Madras physician was buying
muslin for turban in a department
store.
"None Of this is fine enough" he
said. I'm the turban I have on there
are forty yards. But forty yards of
this would give me head like sara

Indian muslin is very, very fine. 1t
must be fine enough to disappear If it
is to pass our Al test The test is
this: The muslin Is spread on grass
overnight. In the morning, when ev-
erything is dew drenched, if the mus

Ancient Castle, Curious Clock.

Rushen castle, Castledown, Isle of
Man, is the ancient seat Of the kings
and lords of Man. The castle is veri-
table curiosity both historically and
otherwise. The first mention of it
dates to the year 1857. 1t was taken
after six months siege in the year
1915 by Robert the Bruce. The castle
is built of limestone and is not a ruin
Until few years ago it was used as a
prison. The town clock seen in the
castle wall was presented by Queen
Elizabeth in the year 1897. 1t has only
one hand on the dial. This is the hour
hand. The minutes are judged by the
position Of the hand between the
hours. The works Of this clock are
also a curiosity. The weight at the
end Of the pendulum is large stone,
and 1t is driven by a rope coiled
around cylinder Of wood, with an
other stone at the end Of the rope.
The clock is still going after its GEN.

Good Time to Go.

General Joseph E. Johnston, the
Confederate commander, used to re-
late that in the hottest part of one of
the early battles of the civil war he
felt his coattails pulled. Turning about,
he recognized young man who had
been employed in his tobacco factory
previous to enlistment.

To SIeep Like a Ton.

To "sleep like top" has probably a
very different origin from that which
appears. "Top" is thought to be a cor
ruption Of the French taupe, or mole.
This Interpretation is far more in &C.
cordance with the idea usually con-
veyed-that Of prolonged, undisturb-
ed sleep like that Of mole in winter
rather than the short, enduring so
called "sleep" Of a top when it re-
wolves on its axis with gentle. hum
ming sound.

A Real Fourth Of July
Champion Of Freedom

Giuseppe Garibaldi, not an American
born, but for time an American citi-
zen and as truly a devotee of political
liberty as any of those who signed the
Declaration of independence, was born
on July 4, 1907.
The story of his life AS a fighting
Italian patriot is one Of the worlds
greatest romances. He was first exiled
from Italy in 1884, then choosing
South America for an asylum. He
served the now forgotten republic of
Rio Grande do Sui and later the re-
public Of Uruguay. In 1919 he return
ed to Italy and entered the service Of
the Roman republic. Defeated, he was
eXiled again. This time he came to
the United States. This was in 1850,
the year that Hawthorne completed
1.-THE Scarlet Letter.
Garibaldi was then as hard pressed
for money as Hawthorne ever was,
but entirely without the supersensi-
tiveness which was Hawthorne's curse
through life. Confronted with "a
plentiful lack Of cash." the great Ital-
ian established a candle factory on
Staten Island, in the harbor of New
York, and apparently decided to live
the rest of his life as a citizen of the
United States, for he took out natural
ization papers and manifested a good
deal Of interest in the politics of his
adopted country.
However, he remained here only
four years; then he dreamed anew his
dream Of the freedom and unity Of his
beloved Italy and returned to its
shores, settling as a farmer on the
island Of Caprera. Five years later he
was in the military field again in the
war waged by Sardinia and France
against Austria, and he was a figure
in most Of the fighting that preceded
Italy's final uniication. He died twen-
ty-seven years ago on his Caprera farm.

Took of the KINGS Head.

During the battle Of Princeton re-
treating British troops took refuge in
the chapel Of the college. Washington
personally directed the fire of his ar
tillery, which was aimed at the college
buildings. The first shot, it is said,
entered the chapel and passed through
the head of portrait Of George III.
After the war Washington paid Charles
Wilson Peale $3.50 for a portrait of
himself, which was placed in the iden-
teal frame through which the cannon
ball had passed.

July 4 In American Wars.

The Fourth Of July has been a big
day IN the wars of this republic. In
1861 July 4 was the first day of the ex-
ira session Of congress, with eight
states unrepresented.
On July 4, 1863, vicksburg surren-
dered to General Grant.
On the same day news was sent over
the country that the Federal forces had
won at Gettysburg.
On July 4, 1864, Grant was gradually
driving Lee back, though at terrific
cost Of human life.
On July 4, 1898, we got the news that
Cervera's entire Spanish fleet had been
destroyed off Santiago by the United
States feet, that 600 Spaniards had
been killed and drowned and 1,4OO
taken prisoners on the day before.

starved and cussed and shivered at
Valley Forge, we went in and give the
British blazes at Yorktown and won
our liberty, and the American eagle is
foppin' his wings and askin' fur a
chance to scream. Shall we give it to
him and put our heels on the tyrant's
neck, or shall we loaf around and let
the proud bird Of freedom fly off with
the crows and the tyrant yoke us up
like so many oxen"
1t was promptly and unanimously
decided to turn the American eagle
loose and knock the tyrant out in the
first round. Cheers were given and
money contributed to accomplish the
same, and the Fourth was celebrated
In Rattlesnake Creek as follows:
When the momentous day arrived a
salute was fired at sunrise, and there
was general hilariousness during the
morning, with frequent cheers for
Washington, Benedict Arnold, James
j. Jeffries and others.
At high noon there was another sa-
lutte, and, as one of the citizens re-
marked, most of the bullets were high
balls.
At o'clock the procession formed
and marched to the grove. There were
general good feeling and whoops for
liberty and the American eagle.
At o'clock the judge delivered his
address on 1.-THE Cradle of Liberty"
He also incidentally mentioned that
his store was the only place in Mon
tana where fresh eggs could be had.
The balance of the afternoon was
strictly devoted to the cause of liber-
ty. Some of the patriots got Napoleon
and John L. Sullivan mixed, but it was
no time to be particular.
The fireworks were advertised to be-
gin at dark. and just at shutdown, as
fuel was being carried to the square
for bonfire, the judge noticed a ten
derfoot on the street and beckoned to
him and asl,ed:
