Possibilities of the Balloon.

Prof. King, the balloonist, talks most
sensibly with regard to the possibilities
of the balloon. He tells New York
EGpress reporter that it can never be
used as a carrier in the strict sense of
the term, because that is impracticable
but for scientific research it is the only
means we have of studying the higher
regions and learning about the upper
currents about the formation of rain
and snow, and the action of storms. It
is the only thing by which we can reach
point in the heavens clear of the
earth; and for these purposes it is in
valuable. The day will never come
when balloons will be made to navigate
the air against the currents. That can
only be done by flying machines having
momentum, which balloon is without.
You cannot throw tuft of cotton
against the wind, for the reason that it
has no resistance. The balloons mis-
sion is scientific in several ways. In
case OF war it has been very useful in
escaping from besieged cities, Paris for
instance, and for military operations it
is the only way you have of looking
into the enemy's Notifications with i'm
punity. It is also valuable for looking
down into deep water. From balloon
you can look down to the bottom Of
very deep water, because you are away
far enough to overcome the reflection
of the sky. In these ways balloons can
be made very useful, but as a carrying
agent Mr.. King cannot see how they
are to be utilized.

Etiquette of Letter-Writing.

AS a rule every letter, unless insult
ing IN It's character, requires an answer.
10 neglect to answer letter, when
written to, is as uncivil as to neglect to
reply when spoken to.
In the reply acknowledge first the
receipt OF the letter, mentioning it's
date, and afterward consider all the
points requiring attention.
Ii the letter is to be very brief, COM
mence sufficiently far from the ton of
the page to give q nearly-equal amount
OF blank paper at the bottom of the
sheet when the letter is ended.
Should the matter in the letter con-
tinue beyond the first page, it is well
to commence little above the middle
Of the sheet, extending as far as
necessary on the other pages.
1t is thought impolite to use a half
sheet OF paper in formal letters. AS a
matter of economy and convenience for
business purposes, however, it is Gus
tomary to have the card of the bust
ness man printed at the top of the
sheet, and single leaf is used.
In writing a letter, the answer to
which is of more benefit to yourself
than the person to whom you write.
inclose postage stamp for the reply.
Letters should be as free from
erasures, interlineations, blois and post
scripts as possible. It is decidedly
better to copy the letter than to have
these appear.
A letter of introduction or recon-
mendation should never be sealed, as
the bearer to whom it is given ought to
know the contents.-HllPs MANUAL

Teach a Trade.

The Jews, even if as rich as the
Rothschilds, teach their children a
trade. Some wise man is credited with
having said, IF had as mauy sons as
old Priam, I would have them all learn
trades, so they would have something
to fall back on in case they failed in
business" A Philadelphia paper thus
speaks:
The number of young nen and girls
who are brought up to no useful trade
or calling is on the increase. The ef-
feet Of this is seen in political life.
where thousands of men are begging, as
at present in Washington, for position,
with an idea that vague unframed
powers can find shelter in some COW
nook where they may at least draw
their pay.
Beng practically of no earthly use to
themselves or anyone else, they only
hope to find some place where thew can
continue to exist without beneftinp
anyone.
: A destitute young man without q
trade, who is not qualified by practice
to become a tramp, is very likely to be-
come one, or fare worse by becoming
criminal.

The ICARTANS.

A Historical and Unsuccessful Socialistic
Experiment i'll Illinois and Iowa.
On a high bluff overlooking the val
ley of Nodaway river, in the town of
Corning, Iowa, stands a village COM
posed OF dozen small white cottages,
arranged in the form of a parallelo-
gram, in the center of which rises a
large building, containing a dining
hall, which is also used as an assembly
room and for dramatic representations.
There are numerous outlying log cabins
still sentinelng the village, but they,
too, are within easy distance of the
dining-room. The village is encircled
by a community domain of more than
1900 acres, 700 Of which are under cul-
tivation. Extensive meadows, fine tim
Der lands, possibly 100 acres of waving
wheat and $50 Of rustling corn give
dash of paradise to the summer aspect
Of the bluff. Such is Icaria, whose his
tory is so Intimately interviewer with
the story of Etienne CADET, at one time
(l84O-7) the leader OF Socialism in Eu-
rope. Born in Dion, France, in 1888,
CADET had earned high reputation as
politician, journalist and historical
writer before he adopted the role of the
social theorist. At this period of
popular ferment CADET published
his Voyage en- Icarie an i'm
aginary journey to happy land of
ideal Communism-and was at once ad.
mitted to the leadership of Socialism in
Europe. He started a journal-Le Pop
2t|alre-which had huge circulation.
His followers we're numbered by tens
of thousands, not in France only, but
IN Germany, Switzerland, England,
Spain, and even South America. His
call for colonists to settle in the United
States, and create real Icaria, was re-
sponded to by thousands, and in Feb
ruary, lS48, having secured a grant of
100000 acres in Texas, the vanguard of
the new community sailed for New Or
leans. The Texas acres proved unin-
habitable from malarial causes, and the
Communists, with CADET at their head,
settled at Nauvoo, ILL.,. which had just
been vacated by Joseph Smith, and his
Mormons. For few years they had
theater of their own, and increased so
rapidly in numbers that, in 1855, the
colony had a population Of nearly 900.
But discussions arose as CADET grew
old and his intellectual faculties de-
clined; the community was split into
factions, and in 1856 it's founder died,
broken-hearted, in St. Louis. After
the removal to Iowa, no longer ago than
1877, faction again interposed, and an
embittered contest was the result, the
village now having population of less
than 100 out of the thousands that
hailed CADETS ideal community with
such enthusiasm,

The Rise Of StOck.JObbing.

Stockholders and stock-jobbing took
their rise in the end of the seventeenth
century, and, like Pallas, they seem to
have sprung forth full-grown from the
brain of their progenitors. The last
few years Of that century were indeed
years to be much remembered in the
financial history Of this country. In
1892 the loan of 100000 laid the first
foundation of the national debt. In
1894 the first charter was granted to
the Bank of England. The currency Of
the country was reformed in 1894, and
to meet the deficiency Of coin the first
Exchequer bill Twas issued in 1896. The
charter of the old East India Company
was renewed in 1903; the charter to the
new East India Company was granted
in 1908. The abortive scheme of the
Land Bank was started in 1897 the ILL
starred Darien expedition was planned
IN 1898. Together with these greater
ventures came the shoal of smaller fry
which never fail to follow in the wake
Of any great speculative movement. In
1892, England, says Macaulay, Witnessed
for the first time those phenomena with
which experience has made us familiar.
Then comes list of the companies
brought out, described with all the
picturesnuoness of detail in which
Macallay so excels. The list is a
strange one-not so strange, perhaps,
as the list Of 1920. and scarcely stranger
than some of the schemes which in the
last ten years have sought admission to
the London Stock Exchange. In 1892
there was Copper Company which
proposed to explore the mines CT En-
gland, and held out a hope that they
would prove not less valuable than
those of Potosi. In 1878 there was the
Gold Company, Limited" for work
ing an extinct gold mine in Wales,
which actually fingered on in existence
till 1878, though it never obtained
either a settlement or quotation from
the Committee of the Stock Exchange
IN the means used for floating these
new schemes, the promoters of the
seventeenth century seem to have been
but a little way behind their successors
in the nineteenth. In Shadwelrs play
Of the Volunteers; or. The Stock job
bers," brought out in 1892, all doubts
as to whether it be cody or not to hold
shares in a company for bringing over
Chinese rope-dancers are set at rest by
the reflection that the shares will sell
well, and then the holders need not
care whether the dancers come over OF
no.-BlGchaUooGs Magasi7ae.
