THE BOSTON BOYS FOURTH.

ION the Fourth" little Emerson Copley
remarked,
81 trust you will all bear in mind
The request that l make. 1t is small,
am sure
A trife, in fact, you will find.
/ merely would ask that you purchase no
punk,
No caps or producers of noise
With any intention of lowering me
To the level of commonplace boys.
ION the Fourth of July" he continued,
ITO me
There is nothing so palpably tame
As crackers, torpedoes and kindred affairs,
When fred in Liberty's name.
The popping they make is incompetent
quite
To keep pace with my patriots zeal,
And 1 frankly confess that they never
give vent
To the joy that inwardly feel.
"so allow me-" said he, ION the Fourth
of July
To peruse, undisturbed in my den,
That document famous which years ago
came
From the studious Jefferson's pen.
Do this, and at eve l will gladly appear,
The fireworks costly to see,
For the rockets red glare and the bombs
in the air
Will remind me of Francis Scott Key"

MAKING ROMAN CANDLES.
indispensable Adjuncts to a Proper
Fourth of July.

indispensable Adjuncts to a Proper
Fourth of July.
In America the manufacture Of fire.
works has become almost a fine art,
and no doubt the youth of our country
could find this sort of expression for
their patriotic enthusiasm on the
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
a small charge of powder Then a
star" is pushed down tight on the
powder, and charges of powder and
stars alternate until the cylinder is
filed. Then fuse is attached which
communicates with the powder near
est the top Of the cylinder, which
when 1t Is exploded, sends its star
sailing upward. A fuse runnins
through the candle connects other
charges Of powder with the first and
explodes them one at time, each one
