Horr Ittajt Wr Trmti to Ammonia mm Wax MmHcIb. What promised to be tho dreariest Fourth of July In my Ufa ended In be ing one of the most amusing. I was sent to tho Indian country on Milk river, Montana, to deliver some annu ities, and had to wait several weeks for the Indians to come In from their hunting expedition. The Asslnlbolne Indians came strag gling Into camp ona by one, and huDK around axj camp wtlh undis guised curiosity. I had a headache, and took a quart bottle of ammonia from my medicine cheat and sniffed at the cork. I knew bow to mystify the Indians, and I did a couple of side steps, rolled my eyes, Jerked my body, and pointer my finger to the cardinal points before taking the dose. The Indians were delighted at my pantomime of war medicine. I told them that whoever took that medicine could never be killed In war, but that I was afraid they would Join forces with the Sioux and tight against me If I gave them that dose. I knew them to be the greatest foes of the BIoux, but of course I had to U coaxed into giving away my wonder ful charm. After much persuasion finally agreed to do it, but bargained that It must not be taken in the presenco of others. It was so powerful that no novice could take the white man's wjedlclne with others watching him. Of course that made a hit with the Indians at once, and there were many volunteers to be number one. I selected the chief. He walked Into ay tent, and I began my mysterious passes at him. In the meantime I had two quart bottles before me. One contained water and the other am nesia. I made him understand that at th end of my speech, when I clap ped my hands, be was to take a deep breath and inhale the war medicine a soon as I removed the giasa stop per. I don't believe a motion waa lost oa the Indian; tixty are good imita tors. I gave three war whoops ind made my extemporaneous speech. Tkea I dapped my hands, pulled the cork, and thrust the ammonia under the chiefs note. He took a long, deep breath aa directed, and fell back ward aa one dead. Whea be revived there were tears niMaa; dewa hi cbstks, and I a- -"-i-- . p i i i r-r?2Z-.

That chief went out and waa a dumb as an oyatcr about hit treat ment, and so close did thoy keep tho secret that overy Indian In tho camp came Into that tent singly and took hU war mcdlclno without a murmur.

In America tho manufacture of flro 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 tho Fourth of July without drawing on the products of foreign Ingenuity. A glance at the catalogue of any ono of the twelvo or fifteen large Ann en gaged in making fireworks In this country discloses almost endless lists of devices. Ertrr ono know what a Tloman 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 paatoboard cylinder, which Is plugged up at one end with clay. After the clay comes a small charge of powder. Then a "star" la pushed down tight on the I powder, and charges of powder and star aiternaio until tne cylinder Is filled. Then a fuse Is attached which communicates with the powder near est the top of the cylinder, which, when it is exploded, sends lta star sailing upward. A fuse running through the candle connects other charres of nowder with the tint and explodes them one at a time, each ono &i- ''s-vzr KlMdl lWC"X A WARNINO. rl I.W i m" JFil fUflwJ2 ' ril. i ft f thootlug out tho ttar which Is next above It.
