A Valuable Invention for Ladies.
BY MAX, ADELER.

1t was Meyers turn for invention
that caused the disaster. Moyer design
ed neH kind of "patent, inflated
gossamer hustle" for ladies'. 1t was
thin bag oc India rubber which was to
be inflated with gas to give it the proper
distention and sufficient lightness When
the model was completed, Mrs Meyer
determined to try it. She went into
the yard and tied the maching under
her dress, while Meyer turned on the
kitchen gas TO ell the bag 1t worked
well enough for few moments, when
all at once Mrs. Meyer began to ascend
with trightful rapidity. She had barely
time to scream down TO Meyer to put
the children to bed carly, and to tell
Mary Jane TO set bread, aud the next
instant she was two miles above the
snow line. 1t was embarrassing for
Mrs. Moycr-very embarrassing, as
she could not reach round to The hustle
to turn of the gas in order to come
down. So she hoated about up there
among thunderstorms and clouds and
crows and aurora borcalises for several
hours enjoying the scenery and studying
the air currents, and wishing sh, had
brought her muff and book to read.
Then she commenced to descend gralu.
ally until she came within a couple OF
hundred feet of the earth She then
screamed some rs she foated along, and
several enthusiastic students Of natural
history tried to briug her down with
sh t-guns, under the impression she was
some new variety Of ostrich or hlu.in 20
But sudden gust of wind struck Mrs.
Meyer, aud blew her against the Pres
byterian church with such force that
the inflated gossamcr hustle" exploded
violently, impressing the sextou with
the conviction that the SACRED edifce
had beenrstruok by lightning But When
he came. out aud saw Mrs. Mover
caught by her pannier on the weather
cock, with her parasol pointing east or
west, as the wind happened to shift, he
comprehendcd the situation 1t cost six
hrnircd dollars TO bald q scatfolding to
get Mrs. Moyer down, and even then
Meyer did not introduce his hustle into
the market. lie will sell out his patent
rights cheap. Mrs. Moyer wants him
to.
