MAKING ROMAN CANDLES.
Many Ingredients Enter Into Compost
tion of Popular Fireworks.

Many Ingredients Enter Into Compost
tion of Popular Fireworks.
The process by which the roman
candles are turned out may give a gen
eral idea of the construction of pyro-
technics. The tubes of roman candles
are merely layers of paper rolled In
shape by hand, each layer being glued
to the others. They are made In all
lengths and sizes, from the tiny one
that splutters out but two stars to the
one which holds thirty stars In its yard
long length. When the tubes have
been finished one end is plugged with
clay, and then the process of loading
begins. A bit of slow burning powder
is first placed in the tube. then star.
then more powder. etc, until the tube
has been charged with the required
number of stars. A bit of the same
slow burning powder is sprinkled on
the last star; a fuse is then inserted
and the end sealed. The loading is not
done by hand-that process is too slow.
Twenty-four empty tubes are stood
upright In a vertical frame, and into
them the powder and stars are alter
nately placed by an ingenious mecha-
nism. Then twenty-four steel rammers
firmly press the charges in place.
Bombshells are made of papier maehe.
The spheres are nodded in halves and
are then Joined by glue. After the
glue has set the globes are wound with
stout twine.
Pinwheels, like other playthings,
must needs look pretty in order to sell
well, and the bright colors and fancy
patterns are put upon them by the deft
fingers of women.

Arguments For
The Sane Fourth

Some people, when the Fourth Of
July rolls round, demand firecracker
as big as a neck yoke.-Joliet News.
The Fourth of July was not estab-
Hshed as n holiday for foolishness,
murder and conflagration, but as an
occasion whereupon the people might
show their sense and fitness for the en-
joyment of liberty. peace and prosper
ity. Let's be thoroughly American and
have a sensible Fourth of July. Let US
have more patriotism than fireworks,
more happiness in life than trouble
over injuries and sorrow over death
st. Louis Republic.
This is an especially appropriate time
to deal with this matter. The Fourth
Of July is approaching-Indepe
day-which is a day of blood and
slaughter throughout the land, In the
name of liberty. Scores are killed by
gunpowder accidents on that day and
hundreds wounded on that day and In
the joyous celebrations of the dawn Of
liberty. 1t is n fearful price to pay
for the celebration of day.-Salt Lake
Tribune.
Parents who have boys who have a
fondness for explosives. toy pistols and
blank cartridges should study the sta
tistics of the annual tragedy and keep
their flesh and blood out of the holo-
caust
Also
Dealers in fireworks should study the
figures in connection with the laws
regulating the use of firearms and ex-
plosives and realize the risk they run.
And
City councils should prepare to en-
force ordinances already passed and to
revise and bring up to date the laws
respecting the sale and use Of explo
sives on the day we celebrate.

ebration is entirely too Wilkes

county Jail at Morgantown. where he
will be confined pending his appeal

July 4 In Ants-prohibi.ion Days.

One of the earliest genuine Fourth
of July celebrations ever recorded-that
at Independence hall, Philadelphia, In
1790-is chronicled by Christopher Mar
shall in his diary of the American Rev
olution. 1t is a graphic sketch. II not
a lovely one:
July 4: Commencement began at
Philadelphia College this forenoon, at
which many attended. This be-
ing the anniversary OF our freedom
from English bondage, sundry vessels
saluted the town. The company
OF Artillery and the Invaders Regi-
ment marched to the State House.
where the Congress. President OF the
State and Council with a number Of
officers attended; bell-ringing, guns ir-
ing till the evening. and until numbers
were so drunk as to reel home"
1t was a wonder any Independence
hall was left Perhaps on account of
that very tendency to irresponsible
drunkenness and equally irresponsible
gunfire the more intelligent classes re-
Trained from encouraging celebrations
Of the Fourth at the statehouse.

An american Patriot. Work.

A striking illustration of the chances
Of war is found in the fact that the
American army at Cambridge during
the war of the Revolution would have
been left without ammunition but for
the provision of John Brown, mer.
chant of Providence. r. l.. and one OF
the family who gave name to the uni
versity at the place. Brown was a
very wealthy merchant and was the
first of the Rhode Island merchants to
send his ships to China and the East
Indies. Anticipating the war, he In
structed his captains on the return voy-
age to load their ships with powder,
which he furnished to the army when
its supply had been restricted to less
than four rounds to each man.

Not Considered Important Enough For
Newspapers First Page.
In regard to the proclamation and
publication of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence (meaning the document itself
it must be noted that 1t was intended
for the world at large rather than the
colonists. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence-that is. the formal resolu-
ton of the Continental congress OF
severance of allegiance from the moth
er country-was adopted July after
having been much debated principally
In committee of the whole, Benjamin
Harrison in the chair from June z,
when 1t was offered by Richard Henry
Lee. The fact that 1t was passed was
published In the Pennsylvania Gazette
of July 8. Few things show the differ
ence IN temperament of newspapers
and public as regards news" as does
the fact that this great Declaration.
which initiated the most profound po-
Iitical change In the country and made
all the members of the congress traitors
in the eye Of British law, was not an
nounced on the front page, but was
printed on an inside page, without
comment or special display. except that
a portion Of the resolution was put In
capitals.
The first publication of the text Of
the Declaration was in Towne's Penn
sylvania Evening Post of July 9. and.
as has often been remarked, on the
page facing the statement that all men
are endowed with liberty" is an ad-
vertisement OF negro boy for sale,
four or five years old, who has had
smallpox and measles" 1t Is also
worth noting that in the engrossed
Declaration the spelling Is united

FOURTH OF JULY ADVICE
BY WASHINGTON.

I'm his address to the governors Of
the states, June s. 1881
There are four things which
humbly conceive are essential to
the we'll being-I may even ven-
ture to say to the existence-of
the United States as an inde-
pendent power:
First, an indissoluble union
of the states under one federal
head.
Secondly, a sacred regard to
public justice.
Thirdly, the adoption of a
proper peace establishment, and,
FourthIy, the prevalence of
that pacific and friendly disposi-
tion among the people of the
United States which will induce
them to forget their local preju-
diees and policies, to make those
mutual concessions which are
requisite to the general prosper
ity and in some instances to
sacrifice their Individual adVan-
tages to the interest of the COM
munity.

The Glorious Fourth

BY THEODORE H. BOIcE
The starry flag waves greeting
To Freedoms natal day.
It ripples out with glory
Wherever breezes play;
II floats in stately beauty
hid arctic ice and snow.
Through all the zones it flutters
And gems the tropic glow
The eagle screams in triumph
Its welcome to the day
And spreads its wings exultant
Where liberty holds sway.
From ocean unto ocean
And far beyond the seas
Its notes of shrill defiance
Are borne by every breeze
The orators are telling
The glories Of the land
That at the front of nations
Now boldly makes its stand.
And eloquent are tributes
They to their country pay
And rousing are the plaudits
On Freedoms natal day
From early dawn till midnight
There's constant jubilee
Through all the broad dominions
That spread from sea to sea,
For tbs on this occasion
ALI patriots are gay
And join in celebration
Of Freedoms natal day.

MISS HELEN KELLAR.

Miss Helen Kellar is said to be the
most wonderful woman in the world.
At the time of her birth she was
physically perfect. Illness when she
was nineteen months old left her
blind and deaf. When seven years
old she was totally unframed and was
given to violent anger, Mrs. John
Macy was engaged at this time to
instruct her and has been her con-
slant companion and teacher ever
since. Her progress was remarkable
and in 1900 she entered Radcliffe COL
lege where she graduated four years
after. She has written extensively
for magazines; she writes rapidly on
the typewriter. She attained much
help in speaking through lessons CIV
en- at the New England Conservatory
of Music. She has also written sew
eral books and is very highly edu-
Gated. All communication with her
is given through the sense of touch.
ASiCh NOlIOI Ids OOIlC uiuCil W dlu
others of her kind. She is a member
of numerous societies for the aid of
the blind and deaf and she has ac-
complished more than any one else.
However, in showing what can be
done for persons afflicted as she, she
is an example, showing that the blind
and deaf can learn and can be of use
in the world. What others have
learned from life she has learned
from books and is happy in the learn
Ing. The key note of her life is hap
piness. Miss Kellar will give lee
ture at the Opera house on the even
