One Of Prof. DOnaldsOn's
FOOlhardy Feats.

A local reporter of the Cincinnati
Commercial relates this incident of Prof.
Donaldson:--"Perhaps you remember
my adventure on Lake Michigan two
years ago. | made the ascension alone
My balloon was full and light, and | had
plenty of ballast. Everything was in
good shape. ] went alone purposely,
so as to do what Ibid. An immense
crowd saw me off over the lake. There
Was light sea on When | got so far
up and away that my movements
couldn't be detected, | pulled the valve
rope and came down to the water. |
knew the effect on the crowd. What
| was after was sensational advertise
ment. There was pretty good surface
current of air. As the basket touched
the water the bag of course jerke,l at it
and pulled it out, and let out little
ballast from bag And in this way
skipped along for some time. 1t was
nearly dark, and cloud were gathering.
Through their glasses they could barely
see me, clinging to the basket and being
dragged through the water at fearful
rate, as they imagiued. In that way |
passed out of sight, as ! learned after
wards, into certain death, as they snp-
posed Then ] let out ballast enough
and arose to good height, and kept on.
| got my seusat ional advertisement of
"Periloas Observation-Disclosures Es-
cape" and so on, and didn't get my
feet wet"
In this way poor Donaldson foreshad-
owed bis awful fate to us, as we travel
ed through the air that calm, pleasant
night last fall. Little did he suspect
then that what he had once gone
through ia fun, with safety, was to be
repeated to his death.

A Little Mistake.

He took the evening train up from
Cleveland, and in looking through tie
cars discovered female sitting alone in
seat. and it instantly occurred to him
that she might belonely, A veil drop
ped over her face, but there was no rea-
son to suppose that she was not good
looking, and he calamity raised his hat
and sat down beside her, remarking,
with lovely smile: aIt's lonely travel
ing alone.
She just murmnred reply. but the
accent was captivating, and he was won
at the start.
He was pracliced in the arts OF polite
tactics, and spoke to her softly Of this
great desolate world, with appropriate
illusions to human hearts. He told
her how he had hungered and thirsted
after the affection OF true heart, and
had yearned to feel the breath Of the
heavenly flame of love
No." he sighed, he had no wife, no
one to love and caress him and mend
his suspenders; and when he inquired IL
she was treading the path of life single
and aloud, she murmured so pensively
and sad that he felt compelled to put
his arm on the back of the seat lest
she should fall out of the window
which was closed.
They reached Norwalk, and just as
the train stopped he heard grating,
kissing sound close to his ear, and then
the words: "Y-o-u villain, y-o-u old
hypocritical s-i-n-n-e r, III make you
think you've been struck, by breath
Of heavenly flame, you old OWL"
He looked around just far enough to
get glimpse of a pair Of flashing eyes
and the face of his wife, who had muir
INJURED so fondly to him along the jour-
ney. A studded spasm seized him, but
he managed to accompany her from the
train; and as they moved into the dark
ness toward home her flashing eyes lit
up bis pale face with spectral effect

Making Wine.

The following Is said to be a re-
liable model of making wine from
native grapes:
1. Select perfectly ripe punches,
and then carefully pick off the
stems and remove all grapes which
are not quite ripe.
2. Squeeze the juice out, either
by hand or press; strain through
hair sieve, and pour 1t at once into
tlean, sweet barrel or keg, add
ing to the vessel two gallons Of
water for every gallon of juice
made.
8. At the same time put in four
pounds Of sifted sugar per gallon
Of juice
4. In adding the two gallons of
water stated IN section 2, let 1t
strain through the pnlp, skins,
&C., Of the residuum Of the grapes
after being squeezed.
5. Fill the vessel full, up to the
bung-hole, which cover with q
sand-bag, to allow the fermenta-
ti0n TO escape.
6. Watch the barrel d,.ily, and
clear or scrape away the scum,
which will be thrown out In large
quantities.
Z. AS the wine falls below the
bung, fill up daily latter clearing
away the scum with sugar water,
made with two pounds OF sugar to
the gallon of wafer
s. The fermentation will con-
tinue from three to six weeks, ac-
cording to the weather. When 1t
has ceased, pour into the bung-
hole about one gill of brandy to
the gallon OF juice, to flow over
the surface and prevent its sour
ing; but the brandy may not be
indispensable Then bung the YES
sci up tight.
8. During the cold weather in,
say, the following February when
the wine is perfectly still and clear
dra " 1t off into any other clean
vessel, then quickly clean, scald,
and rince thoroughly the barrel in
which the wine was made, and re-
turn the wine to 1t, buhg 1t up,
and draw it off as required for
use.
10. Ii you wish to make very
palatable champagne, have the
champagne bottles ready when
you rack off the wine as stated in
section g.; put a tablespoonful of
common syrup in each quart bot
tie; then fill with the wine, leav-
ing about one and half inches
clear below the bottom of the cork
which fasten very securely with
strong Irvine. as the pressure of
the fixed air to escape Is very
great.
IL. The wine will improve by
age, after the operation described
in section 8.
IL. An old brandy or whisky
barre, is the best. (See section p
Never use a new barrel, as the
wine will taste of the wood.
10. About fifteen pounds OF
grapes will give one gallon OF
Juice. One gallon of grapes in
punches weighs about four and a
half pounds.
IA. Keep the wine in cellar,
where it will not be exposed to ex-
tremes of temperature
10. An approximate estimate OF
the quantities required for thirty
gallon barrel will be as follows:
TO make thirty gallons Of Vine
One hundred and fifty pounds
grapes, yielding 10 gallons juice;
20 gallons water, strained through
the pulp residum (see section A j
40 pounds of sifted sugar, "a pints
Of common brandy. (See section 81
Ifcarefully made, the wine will
be wholesome and palatable, with
a flavor like grapc-juice Madeira.

DNn't Hurry.

First be sure you are right. then go

But go ahead slowly. remembering that
haste makes waste. ''Never be In hurry"
said the eminent French surgeon, Nelatin,
10 his students. IF in performing an op-
Grafton you should cut an important artery.
don't hurry. The patient will not bleed to
death for two minutes. Thirty seconds 10
ample time to take mp the artery; In fifteen
seconds you can tie it; You have then one
minute and fifteen seconds to spare. But
You can't do this if you are 10 hurry. "a
surgeon has no time to be In hurry" he
would often say, when impressing the
pupils with the fact that haste distracts
the nerves and clouds the judgment OF o
sorgeon.
