If you should hear some stranger mention the United States are you pos tive that you would know what he meant2 In the eastern part of South America the term United States'A is regarded as an unqualified designation of the republic of Brazil, while a little way to the north the term is taken to refer to Venezuela. In almost all parts of the southern continent the mention of a country in the northern hemis- phere called United States'' is likely to suggest Mexico, whose official title Is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. There are still those who speak of the repub- lie oflColombia as 'fthe United States, 7 because during the period when its federal constitution was fin force, from 1861 to 1886, it was called Estados Untdos de Colombia Y-St. Louis Globe Democrat

~WhAn was in China. a fireworks man said, eI was aston1shed to find how little the people knew aboRt pyro- techny beyond the1r own Chinese crackers They can make these crack CTS much more cheaply than they could be produced in Anaerica. But of set pieces, rockets and such like, the Chi nese know practically nothing, and their attempts to make them are crude in the extreme.
 "A Chinese cracker maker living near Hongkong challenged me once to com pehe with him in 2 fireworks display, and friendly mandarin was called in to act as judge My Chinese opponent set of lot Of gigantic crackers and made terrifying noise, but the man darin had been used 50 that from in- fancy and wasn't at all impressed.

LESS THAN THREE SCORE
 WAR VETERANS TO MARCH ! IN MEMORIAL DAY PARADE
Majority of Civil War Soldiers Will in Carriages While More Able Veterans Insist Parading to the Exercises at Monument in Seaside Park-Processon To Be Very Large One.

Complete plans ahve been worked out whereby the Boy Scouts of Amer ica may be of te greatest amount of service in the big Memorial Day rnittee of Scout Masters whose chair man is, Stanley Beans, the following details for the monster city outing will be cared for by the scouts.
 Four first aid stations will be set up and cared for at various points along the line of march to care for any injured persons or for any mem Der of the parade overcome by heat One will also be maintained at the park for the saLne purpose. The scouts are thoroughly drilled in all the principles of first aid for through the efforts of Commissioner E. c. Cortright, physicians have had charge of all examinations for both second and first class work.
 Six scouts from each troop, or a total of 120, will be on hand with staffs to assist in keeping the crowds back from the curb, thus preventing many accidents that might otherwise occur. This division of scouts will meet at the First Baptist church for organization and assignment at 1 o'clock. Scoutnaster William Biggart will have active charge of this work. Two scouts in uniform from each troop are assigned the duty of per- sona1 attendance upon the members 1 of the Grand Army. With filled can teen and a camp stool they will give assistance where most needed to,' the 1 individual veterans. This section will meet at the boys department of the
 Y, M. c. A. at 1 o'clock and is under l the personal direction of Comnis- sioner Cortright and Scoutmasters 1 Berton Shook and Akers.
 Quite the most important of all the arran gementss centers at Seaside park, ] where the headquarters are estab- l lished near the band stand. This is a combined first aid and lost and found chi1drens camp. In the confus- sion of thd marching and crowds every year. scores of children stray from their parents and friends-rnany tots of less than five years are so found wandering and unable to find friends. The scout headquarters will 1 have an abundance of assistance in other tongues than English. This de- partment will be under the personal management of Scoutrnasters Horace Smith, Charles Blake and fWillia m Mcclellan.
 When the marchers disband the Grand Army men will go to the Ma sonic Temple hau where in accordance with their custom the Sons of the ! American Revolution will serve them a dinner. The Daughters of Veterans will give a dinner to the Sons o1 Veterans in the banquet hall at e. A R. hall. The Spanish War Veterans auxiliary will serve dinner to the Rem [ ington Guards and< guests in I. O. O. F. hall, in Broad street. There will be sandwiches and coffee at the Armory for the militia after the parade.

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root of all genuine growth in the Individual, and, exhibited in the lives of many, it constitutes the true source of national v1gor and strength. Help from with out is often enfeebling in it's effects, but help from within invariably invig- orates. Whatever is done for men or classes to certain extent takes away the stimulus and necessity of doing for themselves, and where men are sub jected to overguidance and osergov- ernment the inevitable tendency Is to render them comparatively helpless Samuel Smiles.

It is 200 feet high, and it's cool shade rests like a bene- dictton over an apea of several acres.

 Do you see the sad smiling on the faces of the women-fo1k Do you see the men pointing their fingers at you and saying things to the children ? Do you see the little flags that futter here and there in the crowd and the big flags that droop drowsily in the still May air?
