Fireworks, like many other things,
are also sold from photographs. Big
pieces are sold In this manner, and big
pieces are also made specially to order
to suit local requirements. Small fire-
works are sometimes sold by photo-
graphs, the pictures being colored tc
represent the goods, and such photo-
graphs are used in the introduction of
novelties. If the dealer desires to see
these, or, perhaps, all the samples, they
are shown precisely as shoes, or dry
goods, or carpets, or other samples
would be.
The man selling fireworks covers the
country across to the other coast. Some
fireworks for consumption in San Fran-
cisco next Fourth of July have already
been shipped by sea. Deliveries are
made, of course, in accordance with the
demand. Shipments may be governed
by local ordinances of municipalities in
one part of the country and another re-
stricting the period within which fire-
works may be stored or offered for
sale.
There is one man in the business who
has been selling fireworks on the road
for 30 years.—N". V. Sun.

JAPS LOVE BOOKS.
This Mn«i He Deduced from the Im-
ported Paper Statistics.
The value of printing and other pa-
per imported to Japan in l-t"4 was &&$,-
lie yen (about $34-4,000 in goldj, which
in Increased to Sl-,53syen (about
$400,000 gold i. and in 1?0G to l,4i4,3Sl
yen (about 8747,000 In gold). These
figures are remarkable w ben it is con-
sidered that during the last few years
a number of mills have been estab-
lished in Japan which produce the bulk
of the ccmmon paper required for
newspapers.
The great increase in the import of
fore'gn paper which is shown above is
proof of the boom in the publishing
trade during the last few years. It is
'1 .nd necessary to use foreign paper
for the majority of books, especially
those of a scientific or educationcl char-
acter, as the ordinary Japanese print-
ing paper is not only too brittle, but
very unequal in thickness and finish.
Ti <• few Japanese mills do not trouble
themselves to produce paper of a good
quality, as they have more than enough
to do to keep pace with the demand
through regions heretofore almost un
known to the outside world, M. Banin
wa« able to achieve the distinction of
being the first European ever received
by the Ordos and allowed to visit the
sacred spot where rest the remains of
the great Tartar chieftain.
The place is called "Etjln Karo,
"The Palace of the Lord," and lies about
SO miles *outh of the city of Khoukou
Khoto, on the Hoang Ho, down the val-
ley of which the explorer's route laid.
The Ordos are a strange people, trans-
planted by an accident, as it were, from
another land to a place not of their own
choosing. They are the descendants
of the Tartar hordes whom Ghengis
Khan was leading from the ■wilds of
Mongolia to the asssult of the Great
Wall of China, when he was assassinated
at the Instigation of his third wife,
"Bagha Etjin," "The Little Sultana.
Here at "Etjin Karo," where he (Med,
far from his seat of power at Ramar-
cand, his remains were placed in 1127,
under the care of his immediate fol-
lowers, the soldiers of his bodyguard.
To this date the descendants of his
bodyguard keep constant watch over
the tomb, ever expecting his awakening
toa new and rrar.der career of conquest,
as predicted by the Mongol legends.
Under a huge canopy or tent of white
felt rests the coffin of sliver containing
all that remains of the "Great Khan."
Beside it are his saddle of gold, his
two-bladed sword ar.d his bow with his
arrows, plar'ed feather up in the
ground. The Ordos revere him as a god,
and recognize no other. Their ehiei,
the king of DJoungar, is his thirty-sev-
enth and last direct male descendant.
He lives with his five wives and his
riece, the nearest to him in the line of
descent, in a wonderful palace built of
bricks that were* transported on the
backs of camels across the wide desert.
In this lonely place far out In the
desert from where any people would
choose an abiding place these people
have lived for nearly 700 years, genera-
tion after generation, with no other ob-
ject than to guard the slumbers of him
whose career was. a« they believe, but
nterrupted for a time, expecting him
to arise and again lead them on and
finish the great work he began in di-
recting the destiny of the nations of the
world.—St. Louis Republic.

the slow development of the industry
to the fact that there is more difficulty
in starting a paper mill than a spinning
mill or a match factory, e.rd. sars our
