indispensable Adjuncts 10 Proper
Fourth of July.
In America the manufacture Of fire.
works has become almost fine art,
and no doubt the youth of our country
could find this sort of expression for
their patriotic enthusiasm on tho
Fourth of July without drawing on the
products Of foreign ingenuity. A
glance at the catalogue OF any one OF
the twelve or fifteen large firms en-
gagged in making fireworks in this
country discloses almost endless lists
of devices.
Every one knows what a Roman
candle is, but few know how this in.
dispensable adjunct of a Fourth OF
July celebration is made. First Of all
in the making comes the pasteboard
cylinder, which is plugged up at one
end with clay After the clay comes

powder, and charges Of powder and

when 1t is exploded, sends its star

through the candle connects other
charges Of powder with the first and

The stars are made of chemical mix

which are produced. A red star is
sometimes made by mixing four parts
of dry nitrate of strontia and fifteen
parts of pulverized gunpowder. Cop

Rosin, salt and a small quantity OF
amber make it yellow. Small particles
Of zinc change it to blue, and another

original Draft of the pee

Original Draft OF the Declaration.
The original draft of the Declara-
ton of Independence in Jefferson's
handwriting, with a few interlinea-
tions made by Franklin and Adams,
may be seen by the visitor to the
State Deartment in Washington. This
is displayed in a steel cabinet that
stands adjacent to the safe contain
ing the original Declaration. The
steel exhibition cabinet also holds one
of the FAC SMILES Of the engrossed
copy of the Declaration-one of those
reproductions made by President Mon
roe.
In a glass case in this same treas
ure house of historic mementoes is
the small, plain, unpolished mahogany
desk on which Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence. This
interesting relic came into the pos
session Of the government in 1880.
The desk had been given by Thomas
Jefferson to Joseph Coolidge, Jr, upon
the occasion of the latter's marriage
to Jefferson's granddaughter Miss
Randolph. On the death of Mr.. Coo.
lidge, whose wife had died year or
two previously, the desk became the
property of their four children, and
was by them presented to the nation,
1t was the expressed wish of the
donors ito offar it to the United
States, that it may have place in
the department of state with the i'm
mortal instrument which was written
upon it in 1875"
The desk bears an inscription in
Jefferson's handwriting, as follows;
Thomas Jefferson gives this writing
desk to Joseph Coolidge, Jr., as a
memorial of his affection 1t was
made from drawing of his own by
Ben Randall, cabinet maker of Phila-
delphia, with whom he first lodged on

ence. Politics as we'll as religion has

How Indians We're Treated to
Ammonia as War Medicine.
What promised to be the dreariest
Fourth of July in my life ended in be-
| ing one of the most amusing. | was
sent to the Indian country on Mix
river, Montana, to deliver some annu-
| tiles. and had to wait several weeks
for the Indians to come in from their
hunting expedition
The Assiniboine Indians came strag-
Cling into camp one by one, and
hung around my camp with undis-
| guised curiosity. l had a headache,
and took a quart bottle of ammonia
from my medicine chest ard shifted
at the cork. | knew how t0 mystify
the Indians, and l did couRie of side
steps, rolled my eyes, jerked my body,
and pointer my finger to the cardinal
points before taking the dost.
The Indians were delighted at my
pantomime of war medicine l told
them that whoever took that medicine
could never be killed in war, but that
was afraid they would join forces
with the Sioux and fight against me
if gave them that dose. l knew
them to be the greatest foes of the
Sioux, but of course | had to lie
coaxed into giving away my wonder
| full charm.
After mucn persuasion l finally
agreed to do it, but bargained that
it must not be taken in the presence
of others. 1t was so powerful that
mo novice could take the white mans
medicine with others watching him
OF course that made a hit with the
Indians at once, and there were many
volunteers to be number one.

my tent, and | began my mysterious
passes at him In the m@ntjme
had two quart bottles before me. One
contained water and the cther am
monia. l made him understand that
at the end of my speech, when | clap
cad my hands, he was to take a deep
breath and inhale the war medicine
as soon as l removed the glass stop
per. / don't believe motion was lost
on the Indian; they are good imita-
tors / gave three war whoops md

Then l clapped my hands, pulled the
cork, and thrust the ammonia under
the chiefs nose He took a long,
deep breath as directed, and fell back
ward as one dead.
When he revived there we're tears
rolling down his cheeks, and ex-
pected to have no more fun that
Fourth, but here I had not reckoned
on the Indians sense Of humor
That chief went out and was as
dumb as an oyster about his treat
ment, and so close did they keep the
secret that every Indian in the camp
came into that tent singly and took
his war medicine without murmur.-

PALACE RAzED IN TEXAS.

VIII Be Replaced by IA Modern Ten-
story Omce Building.
After having been in stu since 1875
the stone and mortar of the Vera
mendi palace will be used in the con-
struction of a modern ten-story office
building, a New York Herald's San
Antonio correspondent says, Instead
of hearing the gasconades Of Spanish
conquistadores and the dolce voices OF
senoritas they will hereafter listen to
the click of typewriters and the gig
giles of those who work them. NO
more will they look upon proud Dona
from far Hispano, armed cap-a-pie and
incased in helmet, visor, doublet and
cuirass, for hereafter twentieth CEN
tury business men with green neck
ties, pink socks, pigeon-toed shoes and
padded garments will be the only com.
panions. Before the stones get that
far, however, they will be put through
tie mill and made of the size used in
concrete construction. They are lime
stone, of excellent quality and well
adapted for their future missions.
With the Veramendi palace passes
one of the best known architectural
remains of Spanish-American civiliza'
ton. It was erected almost simulta-
neously with the Mission San Antonio
de Valero, now the Alamo and for
many years was the white house Of
the Spanish province of BeXar, a ter
ritory comprising all OF Texas. In
those days, however, it was merely
known as the governors house, de-
scription more suitable than Veramen-
di palace. The latter name it received
because Of its occupancy by the last
Mexican governor of Texas.
The building stood in Soledad
street, it's site marking formerly the
northeastern corner Of large public
square, the center Of which was occu-
pied by the Plaza des Armas of San
Fernando Presidio. In it's rear was
big garden, which extended to the
banks of the San Antonio river, the
whole house and garden being at one
time surrounded with a very strong
palisade ana deep bitches. It was no
uncommon thing to have the Indians
make raids right in the city in those
days and for that reason defenses Of
that kind were necessary.
The old building was the scene Of
many romance of love and murder.
Almost in its shadow Mexican gem
eral caused to be butchered like pigs
number of Spanish and other pris-
oners who had been unfortunate
enough to side with the Spanish gov
ernment during the Mexican revolu-
tion. The description of this scene,
picturing the assassin as he whetted
the knife on the soles of his shoes
every time he had slit the throat OF
prisoner, forms one of the most
stirring chapters in Texas history. In
the Veramendi palace Ben Milan met
his end at the assassin's hand and in
its patio and the shaded walks of its
gardens James Bowie, designer of the
famous knife bearing his name, court
ed and won Ursula Veramendi, said to
have been by far the prettiest woman
in Texas.
Ali that remains intact Of the fa-
nous old structure now are a pair
of cedar doors which had swung on
their hinges since 1875. They are
elaborately carved Hnd unusually well
preserved. For some time to come
they will swing in private residence
in this city, but /! is hoped to put
them in some museum in the near fueI

When on the Fourth the morning sun
Puts on his golden crown,
An army clad In scarlet coats
Comes marching into town,
And noise of battle all day long
Is loud upon the air,
And sounds Of cracking musketry
And smoke are everywhere.
But when along the western sky
The ire of sunset g.pws,
That army scattered on the gro1l
Is piled In rows on rows.
No more upon the balmy breeze
The smoke OF battle curls,
The reIc0ats have been routed by
Our little boys and girls.
