To Cover a Steep Bank with Grass.

The following method is recommended
by a German horticultural association:
For each square rod to be planted, take
half pound of lawn grass seed, and mix
it intimately and thoroughly with about
six cubic feet of good dry garden earth
and loan. This is placed in tub and to
it liquid manure, diluted with about two.
thirds of water, is added and well stirred
in, so as to bring the whole to the con.
sistency of mortar.
The slope is to be cleaned off and made
perfectly smooth and then well watered
after which the paste just mentioned IL
to be applied with a trowel and made as
even and thin as possible. Should il
crack by exposure to the air, it is to be
again watered and smoothed up, day by
day, until the grass makes its appearance
which will be in from eight to fourteen
days, and the whole decliVity will soon b,
covered by close carpet of green.

A Balloon Duel.

PERHAPS the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1903. 1t was peculiar
ly French in its tone, and could hardly
have occurred under any other. than a
French state of society. M. de Grandpre
and M. lie Pique had quarrel, arising out
of jealousy concerning lady engaged at
the Imperial Opera, one Mademoiselle
Tirevit. They agreed to fight duel to
settle their respective claims; and, in
order that the heat of angry passion should
not interfere with the polished elegance
OF the proceeding, they postponed the
duel for month-the lady agreeing to
bestow her smiles on the survivor of the
two, If the other was killed; or, at all
events, this was inferred by the two men, if
not actually expressed. The duellists
were to fight in the air. Two balloons
were constructed, precisely alike. Onthe
day denoted, De Grandpre and his se-
cond entered the car of one balloon, LIE
Pique and his second that of the other /;
1t was in the garden of the Tuilleries,
amid an immense concourse of spec
tators The gentlemen were to fire,
not at each other, but at each others
balloons, in order to bring them down by
the escape of gas; and as pistols might
hardly have served for this purpose, each
aeronaut took a blunderbuss in his car At
given signal the ropes that retained the
cars were cut, and the balloons assembled.
The wind was moderate, and kept the bal
looms at about their original distance OF
eighty yards apart. When about half a
mile above the surface of the earth, pre-
concerted signal for firing was given. NJ
le Pique fired but missed. M. de Grandpre
fired and sent ball through LIE p que'G
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the cal
descended with frightful rapidity, and Le
Pique and his second were dashed tc
pieces. De Grandpre continued his ascent
triumphantly, and terminated his aerial
voyage successfully at distance of seven
leagues from Paris.

AN Indiana man recently wrote letter
10 a friend in town not far distant. He
addressed that letter to Columbus, Indi-
ana," the "Indiana" being made very
distinct, written out in full, and under
lined. Then in the lower left-hand corner
he wrote: Bartholomew County," and
across the upper right-hand corner he
wrote; "The reason put Bartholomew
County on this is, don't want it to go to
Columbia, South Carolina, or any other
Columbia, but to Columbus, Bartholomew
County, Indiana, and to no other Colum-

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,

All women know that it is beauty, rather than
genius, which all generations of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can 1t be wondered at, then,
that SO much OF woman's time and attention
should be devoted to the means OF developing
and preserving that beautyi Women kn ow, too,
that when men speak of the intellect OF women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when
they come to speak OF the charms OF beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro-
foundy, If not, indeed, ridiculously, in earnest.
II is part of the natural sagacity of women to
perceive all this, and therefore employ every al
lowabe art 10 become the goddess OF that adora-
tion. Preach to the contrary, as we may, against
the arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty there still stands the eternal fact that the
world does not prefer the society Of an ugly wo-
man Of genius to that Of beauty OF less intelec-
tual requirements. The world has yet allowed no
higher mission to woman than TO be beautiful,
and IL would seem that the ladies' OF the present
age are carrying this idea Of the world to greater
extremes than ever for all women now to whom
nature has denied the talismanic power of beauty,
supply the deficiency by the use of most delight
full toilet article, known as the BLOOM OF
Youth, +" which has lately been introduced into
this country by GEORGE W. LAIRD, a delicate
beautiher, which smooths out all indentations,
furrows, scars, removing tan, freckles, and DIS
colorations from the skin, leaving the complexion
clear, brilliant and beautiful, the skin soft and
smooth. With the assistance OF this new Ameri-
can trick OF Lady's toilet, female beauty is des-
tined to play larger part in the admiration OF
men and the ambition Of women than all the arts
employed since her creation. Prof. C. F. Chand-
ler, Chemist to the Metropolitan Board OF Health,
has recently prepared a chemical analysis Of
this delightful toilet preparation, and reported
that the "Bloom OF Youth" was harmless, con.
tanning nothing injurious to the health. Ladies
need have no fear of using this invaluable toilet
acquisition.

The SPEAKER.-The Aurora of the

ange county because it mas had no
Speaker since 1880, and says Orleans
county should not have it because it
furnishes the clerk. We think the
questions of patronage and Of location
are too contemplate to enter for
moment into the calculations of sensi-
bic men, though we are sorry to say
they do, but on these grounds even
Orleans county has the best of the ar.
gument. Orange county has U. S.
Senator. Orleans county never had
one. Orange county has an assessor.
Orleans county has none. Orange
county has pension agent. Orleans
county has none. The less therefore
the Aurora says Of patronage the bet
ter for the chances Of Mr.. Huxley
If Orleans county has not the best

If Orange county has the best man
that is the place to go for him. 1t is
the man that is to be elected, and not
a certain area Of dirt. This gable

Agency, established in 1S49, is one of

ness requires their exclusive attention,
and they therefore transfer Hearth

facilities will enable them not only to
maintain the past high character oil
the paper, but to add materially to
It's value. The new Publishers also
announce a reduction of the terms to

The BALLOON AsCENsIoN.-We
were in hopes to receive a detailed
account OF the journey Of Prof. King
from our fair grounds to his landing
place in Maine, for this paper, as we
understood from others that he was
intending to give US such report, but
we have received none, and probably
shall not, though he furnishes one to
the Boston papers. He made his as
ccnsion at a quarter to three o'clock,
and taking an easterly course, he re.
NAMED in sight about fifty minutes
He passed rapidly over the northern
sections of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire into Maine, and landed in the
town of Byron on Swift River, Oxford
County, about a quarter after six
o'clock. He once or twice assembled
to a great height, between three and
four miles, and as he passed to the
northward of the White Mountains,
their altitude was less than his. His
course led him nearly over the STRAIT
ford Peaks, and just south Of Lake
Umbagog and the chain of other lakes,
nearly the whole journey being over
mountain peaks and a wild, unbroken
country. Mr.. King, describes the
views he obtained from his elevated
position as grand in the extreme. All
Of the mountains and many of the
lakes of Northern Vermont, New
York, New Hampshire and Maine
and Of the lower part of Canada, were
brought into the range Of vision, a!
well also the Atlantic Ocean and thu
st. Lawrence River. The beautiful
scenery along the valleys Of the Con
necticut and Androscoggin River
were spread out below him like
Panorama. He landed safely fror
this his 14Sth ascension about thirt
miles north Of Bryant's Pond, tn
nearest station on the Grand Trun
Railway, and made his way homo vi
