The Crucial Test,

At an adjourned town council meet ing in the north, member casually mentioned that person could not en- joy or even distinguish between drinks in the dark. A worthy baillie denied this and offered to bet that, blindfold- ed, he could name any drink given him. The bet being accepted and the baillie blindfolded, the test com menced. The baillie drank everything submitted, smacking his lips and cor rectly named the drink until the taker was in despair. Then "try him wi water" whispered a councillor, and the hint was taken.

SKIN HUMOR, 25 YEARS

"Cuticura did wonders for me. For twenty-five years I suffered agony from terrible humor, completely coy- ering my head, neck and shoulders, so even to my wife, l became an object of dread. At large expense l consult ed the most able doctors far and near. Their treatment was of no avail, nor was that of the - Hospital, during six months efforts. l suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave. Then l heard of some one who had been cured by Cuticura Remedies and thought that trial could do no harm. In a surprisingly short time I was con- pletely cured. s. P.

Lost Bill Under a Plaster.

The mystery of the disappearance of $50 bill, which has disturbed Mid dletown business man and his family for a week, and which caused eonsid erable unpleasantness has been solved. Suspicion attached to at least two members of the mans household. A week ago he planned a business trip to New York. That evening he laid nu- merous bank notes on the dresser of his bedroom. A $50 bill was on top. Next morning he missed it. That night his wife put porous plaster on his back. This morning he wanted to get it off and called his wife to assist. When she got the plaster off the miss ing bill was found fast on the inside of the plaster.-Exchange

 Miss Blimmers was the object of a good deal of furry at the opening of the ball. Bidders were enthusiastic She wore a spangled dress and was conspicuous during the season at about 1S7, preferred"
 Mrs. Marriem made her first ap- pearance since her last divorce She has been resting at the springs, and the reorganization sets her at par"

ment is such that when the paper disk which Is the parachute, is thrown out of the receptacle it instantly expands and drifts slowly downward. while the ignited stars, dangling along the strings beneath, make an exceedingly pretty display.
 The methods adopted in the case of parachute rockets is exactly the same, the parachute and it's attachments being packed into the head" of the rocket. 4 rocket of course. consists of two parts, the lower portion being a pasteboard cyl inder, made especially thick, containing the plOsive that makes the thing go up while the upper compartment is simply receptacle to hold stars parachute, golden rain stuff whatever is to be liberated when the projectle has reached it's highest point in the air.
 What is called a mine" is a big cylinder of pasteboard which may be four or five feet high and which is attached to a square wooden base, in order that it may be stood up. Inside of the cylinder is put propelling charge of the slow explosive and top of it a paper bag filled with stars At the top is ordinary roman candle which serves a sort of spout. When the candle is lighted it shoots few fiery balls successvely in the customary manner and then the explosive inside having been reached the whole affair eXplodes, throwing a multitude of stars in all directions.
 Comparatively new are the so-called bat teries' of roman candles, which, in proportion to the number of candles going off simultaneously. produce a brilliant display. "Gerbs' are cylin- ders filled with iron filings which thrown out in an incandescent state by the slow-burning explosive. They intended to be tackled upon a fence CT to some such place, at height of six feet.
 It is fact worth mentioning incidentally that all of the marine night signals, which are carried every vessel made by the fireworks con cerns.

 Tn the tiny houses already described all the filling of roman candles is done For this pur- pose machinery is used and it is always possi- bty that a spark might ignite the gunpowder and composition of which considerable quanti- ties have to be kept immediately at hand. But these explosives and also the stars (which take the form of fiery balls they are ejected from the candles) are slowed in cubbyholes protected by swinging metal shutters. Each time the lone workman helps himself to stars or powder he Is obliged push aside the shutter which falls again in place the instant that he has obtained what he wants. The cubbyholes open to the out side by windows that if there were an explo- sion the flame would be thrown outward from the building and not into 1t.
