WHY YQU SHOULD USE
T
Because it is perfectly clean.
Wouldn't you like to know that the tea you drink
has not been touched by human hand since it was plucked
on the plantation I.
This is what you get in Red Rose Tea, The old
method of rolling and packing tea by hand has been
entirely done away 'with on the tea estates where Red
Rose Tea is produced. There, as well as in triie blending
and packing rooms, machinery --- scrupulously clean
machinery—is used excl usively.
Red Rose Tea is never touched by hand after being
plucked.
'Ibis fact alone will help you enjoy drinking it.

DRANCt8ES: TORONTO, WINNIPEG,
MEXICAN DRAWN WORK.
The Women Who Make It According
to Peon Contract.
The woman who makes drawn work
on a Mexican estate is not an independ-
ent worker to whom comes the money
for all the work her deft hands actors.
pllsb. Sho is a woman whose father
or brother or uncle or mother is in debt
to the "great don." Sho can do the
drawn work, so the don's agent sup-
plies her with linen or lawn, a frame
and the requisite implements anal in-
dicates the design that she is to fol.
low, for, though you may not know it,
there are fashions in drawn work quite
as exclusive and quite as popular as
there are in women's bats, for instance.
When her work Is done that poor wo.
man cannot faro forth to market and
offer it for sale. It is by the term of
Iver peon contract perhaps already sold
to the "great don," whose tenant she
is. Miguel, his agent, takes the work,
by now as grimy as the overalls of an
engineer. He has kept account of the
time the woman has been engaged up•
on it, and for each of the many days
she may have worked he gives her 7,
8,• O, at most 12 cents, but never the
last amount unless she be a thorough
mistress of her craft.
Once a year the Afexicans for whom
the women do this work, somewhat as
the sweatshop toilers of Chicago and
New York drive their 'needles' for a
master, meet in solemn conference and
determine what the prices shall be. So
great is the popularity of drawn work
generally that the supply never equals
the demand, and the profits made by
the Mexican masters of the drawn
:work trust, for it is really that, are
enormous. The dealer pays tbeso "op-
erators" what they demand, and they
demand much. Therefore the buyer
pays $40 for a "cloth" that costs the
"manufacturer" 12 cents a day, labor
Wye., for, say, ninety days, to rttalnee.--

The Ballot and OHtee.
In MT it was writteu into the con-
stitution of Vermont that "the house
of freemen, of this State shall cconsist
of persons most noted for wisdom and
virtue, to be chosen by ballot, by the
freemen of every town in this state."
Time and conditions have lowered
our standard. We are content with
average wisdom and average virtue,
and in years of apathy virtue and wis-
dom are quite forgotten, and we elect
whom the machine nominates. Rota-
tion iu office, party control ot nominat-
ing machiuery, the ambitions of cor-
porations and of party leaders—these
are the forces that mate the
nawn
s ou
the legislative chessboard. tinder the
political conditions wldch the majority
of the voters tolerate can we expect
the legislature of a state to be com-
posed of the best men of the com-
munity? And we know that the real
danger of the democracy is the With-
drawal of intelligent and humble men
from public duties.—S. P. Orth in At-
!antic.

THE FLAMINGO AT HOME.
Oneervatleu line Proved That Moth
nate and Female Incubate.
,Apparently two factors enter luta the
flamingoes' typo of avebltecture-•-they
must build where there is mud and et
the same .time erect a structure high
enough to protect its contents from
any normal rise in the water duo to
tides or rainfall.
After watching a nesting colony of
flamingoes in the Bahamas for "nearly
an hour" at a distance of 150 yards
Sir henry Blake stated that the fe-
males sat upon the nests, while the
males stood up together, evidently near
by. sty dissections, however, showed
that both sexes incubate, while contin-
ued observation from the tent revealed
the presence of only one bird of the
pair in the rookery at the same time.
The bird on the nest was relieved late
In the afternoon and early in the morn -
The one, therefore, which Incu-
bated during the day fed at night, and
his. or her place was taken by another
which had been feedinduring tho
day, or, as Peter put it, "I do t'ink,
sir, dat when do lady filiymingo leave
de nest den de gen'leman fillymingo
take her place, sir; yes, sir."
Morning and evening, then, there was
much activity in the rookery. Single
girds or files of as many as fifty were
almost constantly arriving and depart-
ing, eotniug from and radiating to ev-
1 era' point of the compass.
Flamingoes in flight resemble no oth-
er bird known to me. With legs and
neck fully outstretched and the com-
paratidely small wings set halfway be-
tween bill and toes, they look as if they
might Ay backward or forward with
equal ease. They progress more rapid-
ly than a heron and when hurried fly
with a singular serpentine motion of
1 tate neck and body, as if they were
crawilne in the air,—Century.
Politeness Pays.
Virtue is not to be measured by nes
tentatious giving. There le frequently;
more real love for humanity in the soul
of the man .who removes the bananai
skin from the pavement than in the
heart of the donor of the memorial
window in the church, Politeness, like
all other faults and virtues, may be-
come habitual. It Is surprising lam
many small acts of kindness, hovel
many little deeds of helpfulness, one
may do in the course of a day when
there are inclination to bo kind and a
lookout kept for the opportunity. One
may set out with this intention in the
morning, and the footing up at night—
not
ightnot to others, but to one's own secret
conscience—will be cheering and en-
cburaging.�

COLOR IN FIREWORKS 1 Translated Into Yerneettlnr.
."Cap'n" Jothant Slow had strong ob-
HQW THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAZZLING Sections to what he called "the new
minister's high talk." Since Iris set-
tlement over the Claiutown parish
Cap's Jotham bad been heard to say
that "church was for them that needed,
it," and his conduct seemed to imply
that be was not of that number.
Cap'n Jotbat's own language was of
a primitive and unadorned variety, and
nothing pleased him mare than a
chance to translate the minister''e re•
marks to Cap'n Wilson Pegg, the best
Cluultowu story teller. Cap's Pegg
was deaf, and tbe minister's voice of-
ten failed to reach flim.
One night at a neighborhood gather-
ing Cap'n Pegg in the course of a vivid
narrative had referred to "the big fire."
"Was it the consensus of opinion,"
Said the minister in a mild and inef-
fectual tone, "that the conflagration
was the result of some accident or the
work of an incendiary?"
"Hey?" said Cap'u Pegg, staring
dully at tbe minister and then turning
to his faithful friend for light.
"iVbat he wants to know," called
Cap'n Slow in his shrillest tone, "is
wbether the big fire was sot or ketch-
ed!"—Youth's Companion.

PRODUCED,
it IM Alt R natter of Cheanistry, the
Result of the CoutbuMtiot► At the
Salts et Certain sletulet M'a'tte Acte-
Chanler 08 notating i ateeseorl s.
The chief beauty of fireworks is
tbeir range of resplendent colors --ru-
by, sapphire, eutertild, topaz, amethyst,
aquamarine and scores of tints and
shades between. now is all this evan-
eseent glory of color obtained? The se-
cret lies in directed chemical combus-
tion by means of eases and composi-
tions, the results of warvelous calcula-
tion and, skill.
The matter is simple enough to those
who lcaow. It is attained by the com-
bustion of the salts of certain metals.
In other words, the burning metals
have each their characteristic -color.
Sodium gives off yellow flame; cal-
cium, orange; barium, green; stronti-
um, red; copper, green or blue, accord-
ing to circumstances, and so on. Other
familiar metals, iron, steel and zinc,
give their tribute of color's. Iron filings
give bright red and white sparks; cop-
per filings, a green tint; zine, a flue
blue; steel filings and east Iron borings,
a brilliant fire with wavy radiations.
Every one is familiar with the color-
ed fires, but who would suppose that
lyeopodium, the delicate pollen of cer-
tain mosses, so fine that it is used to
.powder baby's skin, furnlsbes a rose
colored fire with a magnificeut flame?
These eolored fires are called in tech-
nical language "fixed fires" and •con-
sist of slow comp: titions that may be
piled in little cones on a flagstone Surd
lighted at the top. They burn slowly
and there is no explosion. Tbese com-
positions are made in many colors.
a' Roman candles belong to the fixed
fire class and are also called fusees.
We all know the straight, slender cyl-
inder or cartridge of the ordinary re.
mau candle. It is packed m follows:
First there is put in it a charge of fine
1
gunpowder, and above this s is placed a
"star." These are' simply balls of some
special composition containing metallic
filings, according to the color desired,
made
up with nmand
spiritsi
rits of wine.
Stars and charges alternate until the
cylinder is full. ihteb star ball is dried
and dusted with gunpowder before
packing. The first charge of gunpow-
der in exploding starts the stellar pro-
cession until one after another they
blaze individually and vanish like fall-
ing stars. Next in order to the fixed
fires come rotating fireworks—namely,
wheels, fire wheele, bisecting wheels,
plural wheels, caprice wheels and
spiral wheels, all more or less com-
plex.
The colors of fireworks are a matter
of chemistry; tate no less important mo-
tions that display the beauty of these
colors to the best advantage are a mat-
ter of mechanics. The man who 15 a
tinct class pyrotechnist is versed in both
sciences.
The ordinary pinwheel is a simple ex-
ample of rotating fireworks. It is a
long case packed with a fire composi-
tion and wound round. a disk of wood.
The outer end of the spiral is primed
with an explosive material. When it
is lighted. it "kicks," just as n gun does
when the powder explodes in the car-
tridge, and round and round files the
wheel, sending out flashes and showers
of colored or golden fire.
Some of the most dazzling and glori-
ous effects in pyrotechnical displays
are produced by rotating fireworks, for
there seems to be uo limit to the va-
riety of arrangement of cases and com-
positions to produce multiple motions
and transformation scenes in color in
this class of fireworks.
A third class comprises the ascending
fireworks. Skyrockets belong to this
class and may be simple or very elab- 1
orate, according to their garniture of I
stars, sparks, spirals, serpents or show-
ers of gold or silver rain.
A skyrocket consists of two parts—a
body and a head made separately and
afterward attached to the body. The
body is a straight cylinder of heavy
pasted paper closed at the lower end
so as to leave only a very narrow open- I
ing for the escape of the fire. A eons
teal hollow bore extends three-quarters
of the way up the body, and all about '
this is packed the special explosive ;
composition, the downward recoil of '
which sends the rocket rushing swift
lyupward, guided and bnlanced by the
light stick of willow wood. The head,
a paper cylinder with a conical top,
holds the special composition which is
to form stars, serpents, spirals or what
not. A fuse in the top of the body ex-
plodes when the rocket reaches its ut-
most height and sets off this composi-
tion, the varying color, form and mo-
tion of which excite the "Ohs!" and
"Ahst" of the admiring crowds.
The great spectacular displays com-
bine the several classes -fixed, rotat-
ing and ascending fireworks.
Temples, trees, ships, portraits, fig-
tires
ixores of men, beasts and birds, flowers,
shields, and so forth, are represented
by suitable frameworks of wood either
wound with coarse cotton rovings
about two inches in diameter, impreg-
nated with certain compositions and
wet with spirits, or else they have at-
tached to thein lances or cases of car-
tridge paper filled with various cont -
positions, the .whole placed in commu-
nication by conduits or entail paper

This is to certify that I have used Oil of Pities, and by using according to directions, it cured me of a
dry hacking ohronic cough which had made my life miserable for over seventeen year . 1 took one treatment
six bottles in number and it completely cared my cough and this is now nearly one year sine, and lhave never

Breeding Insects For Wax.
Among the queer industries of China
is that of breetling wax producing in-
sects in the Cbienchang valley during
May. But the insects will not work
in their birthplace and have to be car-
ried 400 nnfles in gourds b'y porters
traveling only by night. There aro
thousands of insects in the gourds and
wrapped iu leaves picked from the
wood oil tree. IIis journey ended, the
porter immediately goes to his master
and delivers Itis burden of gourds. At
once the leafy bags are tied' to the
branches of the ash trees, which are
only live or six feet high. By Sept, 1
the trees look as if covered with snow.
It is a snow, however, not amenable to
the temperatures which wipe out ordi-

The Linea on Sardine Boxes.
If you are fond of sardines, here is
something that will be useful for you
to know. On nearly every box con-
taining these delicacies will be tomtit
two parallel lines cut in the top. The
distance between the lines denotes the
elm of the fish, whether those in the
tin are small, medium or large. 02
course the smaller the sardines the
bettor is their flavor, and therefore the
boxes with tbe.11nes close together con-
tain the finest fish. Some dishonest
firms nre very fond of selling, pilchards
to their customers and calling them
sardines, but if you make up your mind
never to buy a box unless it has tate
two closely drawn lines you may be
certain of obtaining the article you
asked. for.—Loudon Standard.

Shortly after Lady Tennyson's mar-
riage one of her women friends wrote
the following: "We would find Mrs.
Tennyson alone in the large drawing
room, always writing, arrayed in a
dress of soft gray merino trimmed a
with velvet or fur and with a long M
train, a piece of rieli old lace, worn in-
stead of a cap, drooping over her hair ; id
behind and coming to a point in front. 0
She was extremely kind in lending us m
books. Among these I parttculariy re- ty
member riehte's philosophical works, . d
'trhich she admired greatly. Her man• e
nee was always most gracious and di;- O
nifled, perhaps rather languid, but this + dY
arose chiefly from Iack of vitality or
physical strength."

"General, I like you well enough social-
