Let some one tell the story of Yam
kee Doodle and another the making of
the first American flag, while as for
recitations appropriate to the occa-
sion they are legion, ending of course
with Longfellow's exquisite invocation
from The Building of the Ship:
Thou. too, sail on, o Ship of State!
! Sail on. o Union, strong and great
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging GREATNESS on thy fate!
| I'VE know what Master laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs Of
steel,
Who made each mast and sail and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope,
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
| IT'S but the Tapping of the sail.
And not n rent made by the gale,
In spite of rock and tempests roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the seal
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with
thee!
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
/ Our faith triumphant DER our 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 will
| ing and enthusiastic in their assist
ance, a display of fireworks and a
/ torchlight procession about the lawn
| makes a delightful finish TO the home
/ celebration. For the torchlight parade
cat tails such as grow in every
| swamp, make the best torches. Let
them soak head down for several
hours before using. in a pail of kero-
sene and they will burn quite long
enough for a spirited march. Is sibnal
| fires are demanded. a pan of ashes
over which a little kerosene has been
poured and allowed to soak in, will
make an excellent light with a little
| cost The pan should be set up on a
stump or rock and of course the chill
dren should be warned not to 90
| 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 an imitation of the cry Of an
| eagle Colored paper balloons are
being bought in qualities this year,
some of them made in the shape of
animals. which look very laughable

Home Treatment for Ordinary
Wounds.
While gun shot 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 ordi-
nary burn should be at once covered
with cotton or cloth soaked in oil.
vaselne or white of an egg. Failing
access to these. flour, starch. baking
soda, or even moist clean clay may
be applied in order to exclude the air
and reduce inflammation. Large burns
on the 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 should
be first cleansed in water that is ab<
solutely clean. In case of bleeding
from minor injuries. ice applied will
help the blood to clOt. Let these
blood clots remain. Torn flesh should
be held together until the arrival of
medical aid. If a finger is severed
hold it in position at once. as the
surgeon may be able to save it on his
arrival. Blood may be stopped from
flowing after cuts il pressure is ap-
pked directly on the opening by tieing
an artery. by plugging the whole
wound with a clean cloth or by liga-
turing an artery above the cut.
If clothing catches fire, warn the
person not to run, but to lie down in
stead, as the draught of the flame is
upward. Wrap the person on fire in
blanket, 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 priclling
blisters sterilize the needle by pass
ing 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 formenta-
lions.
