Fireworks In History.

The business of making fireworks
and the business of setting off elabo-
rate displays are sometimes called
"the art of pyrotechny," the word "py-
rotechny" being compounded of two
Greek words meaning fire art" There
is an extensive literature on the sub
ject.
References may be found In the
writings of Nautilus and Vespicus to
the fact that fireworks were set off in
connection with the circus in ancient
Rome, and Claudianus, who wrote In
the Fourth century, mentions 'whirl-
ing wheels and fountains of fire" In
connection with the celebration of GER
tain festivals. Fireworks, and which
should not be COMPOUNDED with mere
bonfres, were set off as spectacles and
ceremonies during the reign Of Henry
VII Henry VIII, Elizabeth and other
English monarchs. In those early
English days dragons spouting fire
were a popular form Of fireworks In
a book written on the subject in 1913
there is a reference to trees and
fountains Of fire sent high up into
the air"

YOUTH NOT GOLDEN SEASON
Modern Writer Takes Issue With 9th
ers Who Have Dubbed 1t the Best
Period Of Life.

Following is from The Way of All
Flesh" by Samuel Butler-not the
Seventeenth century poet, but the
Nineteenth century novelist:
ITO me it seems that youth is like
spring, an overpraised season-delight-
full if it happen to be a favored one,
but in practice very rarely favored
and more remarkable, as a general
rule, for biting east winds than gent
al bTeeZeS. Autumn is the mellOWer
season, and what we lose in flowers
we more than gain in fruits. FOntelle,
at the age Of ninety, being asked what
was the happieSt time OF his life said
he did not know that he had ever been
much happier than he then was, but
that perhaps his best years had been
those when he was between tifty-fye
and seventy-five, and DR.. johnson
placed the pleasures of old age far
/. higher than those of youth. True in
old age we live under the shadow of
death, which, like a sword of Damocles
may descend at any moment, but we
have so long found life to be an affair
of being rather frightened than hurt,
that we have become like the people
who live under Vesuvius, and chance
it without much misgiving."

FIRST AMERICAN GOLD COINS
What Are Known as Eagles Placed in
Circulation in the Year 1902
Bird as Symbol.

The first American gold coinage Of
eagles, half-eagles and quarter-eagles,
of the value Of $40, 50 and $3.50, re-
spectively, was placed in circulation
in 1892. Since that date the United
States mints have turned out 117,6 $685.
$50 double eagles, or 500 gold pieces;
49,611, 2S9 eagles, 74,36O,570 half-eagles
and 15,5S0,208 quarter-eagles. One
and three-dollar gold pieces were-for-
merly coined, but they We're discon-
tinued in 1890.
The first coin called an eagle was
used in Ireland In the Thirteenth cen
fury, and was so called from the fig
ure Of an eagle impressed upon it, but
it was made Of base metal. The stand
ard Of the eagle was borne by the an
Cient Persians, and the Romans also
carried gold and silver eagles as en-
signs and sometimes represented them
with a thunderbOlt in their talons.
Charlemagne adopted the double
headed eagle as. the standard of the
holy Roman empire. The eagle was
the standard Of Napoleon l and Ma
poleon III, as we'll as Austria, Prussia
and Russia.

An Easy Problem.

May She Invite Him Into the
HOuseT' asks an advertisement for the
Book of Etiquette; and explains the
Illustration thus: "They have just re-
turned from dance. 1t Is rather late,
but the folks are still up. Should she
invite him into the house or say good
night to him at the door? Should he
ask permission to go into the house
with her? Should she ask him to call
at some other timer" One answer
crowds upon another's heels, so fast
they follow. First, we shouldn't take
seriously the laws Of etiquette laid
down by anybody who. speaking of
the not-yet-retired parents, says 'the
folks are still up" What sort Of
girl has folks? Dear, dear not to
say File, fie! Second, If it's the kind
of dance now current the folks
wouldn't be Still up they'd be up al
ready. And as to what she should do,
no book ever published can help her
The questions are all local issues, de-
pending on her and him. Our solution
is that she should ask him in to break
fast.-New York World.

Starboard and Port.

The ancient rule Of the road was
to keep to the right and drive from
the left, because the first animals
driven In civilized countries were cat
tie and the driver, walking beside his
oxen, piled his CAD with the right hand.
Italian sailors made starboard the
right side Of ship In their earliest
voyages. The term was evolved by
the British from "esta borde," mean
ing this side, while larboard came from
the helmsman, first probably with
gestures Of the hand accompanying
the call.
In heavy weather, and under other
adverse conditions, the two terms be-
cane COMPOUNDED frequently In speech.
Larboarl was dropped and in its place
port WIS employed, for port meant
port wire, which Is red. and red is the
color OF the light on that side of the
ship.

Barley Basis Of Welaht.

During the reign of Henry VIII
standards of length and weight were
established with actual grains Of
wheat and barley as basis. Three
barley corns were an inch, and from
that was built up our table of inches,
feet, ellis (yards), perch and acre.
One restriction was that the barley
corn must be dry and taken from the
middle of the car and laid end to end.
Under this same system 80 grains Of
wheat made a pennywelght, and from
that as u basis they worked out the
Troy pound in which II ounces still
make a pound. Originally the sizes
Of shoes were based upon grains Of
barley, and 1t Is said that these are
the same today as In the early days.
There were IL grains Of barley to each
size. "Furlong' is an old English word
meaning "furrow long, and Is based
upon the length a furrow would be

HELD SECRET OF HAPPINESS
John Wesley's Nearly Ninety Years
Passed With Remarkably Few
Periods of Depression.

There was John Wesley. His Jour
nal" with its record of interchangeable
labor, is one of the cheerieSt books in
the language. What a rare good time
he had When he was eighty-seven he
could say, 81 do not remember to have
felt lOwness Of spirits for a quarter
of an hour since l was born" For
more than sixty years this indefatig-
able pleasure-seeker had been doing
as he pleased. Up every day in time
TO preach at five o'clock In the MORN
ing; then over the hills or through
the pleasant lanes to preach again at
the time lazy citizens were ready for
breakfast; off again, on horseback, or
by chatSe or In a numbering stage
coach, for more preaching. Now
and then facing a mob, or being wet
through in u thunder storm, or stop
ping to get information in regard to
some old ruin. Between sermons he
refreshed his mind with all sorts and
conditions of books. On the pleasant
road to Chatham he reads Tasso's
Jerusalem Delivered" On the road
to Aberdeen he loses himself delight
edly in the misty sublimities Of Os-
sian. "Orlando Furioso" is good Satur-
day reading. The eager octogenarian
confesses that "Astolpho's shield and
horn and voyage to the moon, the
lance that unhorses everyone, the all
penetrating sword and | know not
how many impenetrable helmets and
shields" are rather too much for his
sober English Imagination. Still, they
afford an agreeable interlude in his
missionary journeys. - Samuel Nc
Chord Crothers, in Among Friends"

EQUAL TO ALL EMERGENCIES
Little Thing Like the Running Out of
Oil for His Engine Easily Over
come by Traveller.

How we all enjoy stories with a re-
sourceful hero No cornered hero of
romance ever showed more ingenuity
than Mr.. Roy Chapman Andrews
showed when he ran out Of motor oil
on the Cobb desert. We quote Mr..
Andrews exploit as he narrates it in
Natural History:
We were returning to Kalgan from
Urga, the capital of Mongolia, when
We made our discovery. Since the
oil had all leaked out of the cans, and
we could not go much farther, We
were debating what to do. Then as our
car swung over the summit of a rise
we saw the white tent and the graz
ing camels Of an enormous caravan.
OF course Mongols would have mutton
fat; why not use that for oil?
The caravan leader assured us that
he had plenty, and In ten minutes a
great pot Of fat was warming over
the fire. We poured it into the motor
and proceeded merrily on our way, Tut
there was one serious obstacle to our
enjoying that ride. We had had little
food for some time and were very
hungry, and when the engine began
to warm a most tantalizing odor Of
roast lamb rose from the car. Short
ly l imagined that l could even smell
mint sauce.
On another occasion when we were
without cup grease for the cars Mrs.
Andrews sacrificed all the cold cream
and vaseline that she had prepared
for a summer in the field. We also
substituted Mongol cheese with good
results.-Youth's Companion.
