When it is asserted that aerial navi
sation never can BE- accomplished, 1t
should be remembered that Horace
Greeley wrote column after column to
prove that the Atlantic cable could new
ar succeed. And 1t did, and so did MIR.
Greeley. DR.. Lardner, OF England, ,
wrote foolish pamphlet proving thst
the Atlantic Ocean could never se cross
ed by steam power. The first steamer
which came to America from England
brought DR.. Lardner's pamphlet. About
sixty years ago some English members
Of Parliament argued against railroads.
and asserted that speed over twenty
miles an hour would take people
breath and destroy life. Probably every
other man has made some foolish mis-
take In the course Of his life.

A statement Of the elopement Of Mrs. f..
L. Smith from Reading, with young
man whose name was not given. The
lady has sinos sent communication
TO the "Times" which puts quite dif
fsrent phase upon the matter. The
following Is her communication 10 the
editor Of the "Times."
Untruthtul and ridiculous accounts,
coming from some source unknown TO
me, OF my separation from my husband
having been published, feel that 1t is
incumbent on me to give, in my own
defense, true statement Of the case.
I married Frederick Leaf Smith, who is
about thirty years my senior, two
months ago, after > short ac4 usinsance.
After . months tour We returned to
his home 1t Reading. His aggressive
disposition and oauseless jsalousies
soon made life with him intolerable.--
Spiss we're put upon my actions, and
everything that did was reported to
him. l rsbsllsd against suoh trsatmsnt,
and in 4 ft Of rage he ordered mo frsm

Sunday-school just saved themselves from
creating decided sensation las, Sunday
afternoon when they rose from their scsts
and remained in standing position while
the others were sitting. Those In the
audience part Of the room did not know
exactly what was the matter, and supposed
they had merely risen too soon, by mis-
take, and were too stubborn 10 sit down
again. The truth is, the seat threatened
to give away beneath the heavy weight
upon it, aud the choir was compelled either
to rise or else take lowIy and uneomfort-

1t Is sometimes unpleasant that their
is such thing as moon In existence, and
we feel sure that If all the trouble the moon
would cause had been apprehended II
would not have been created to "rulc the
night The town council evidently be-
lievc that the mission of the moon must
not be overlooked, and IL conduct their ac-
tions at night as vigorously as the vericst
tyrant that ever ruled in the Roman Em-
~pirc. For instance, If the almanac an
nounccs the fact that little rim Of silver
light from the thew moon will COM
menco Illuminating tho heavens on GER
tain night, just so surely gocs the mandate
forth that on that night tho street lamps
must not DO lit, 1t would bc horrid
crime, you know, for any artificial light to
take the place Of the fairy moonlight" &"
If such should be the case, fair Luna might
take oficnse and depart and never again
cheer US with her delightful rays. For in.
stance, the usual almanac that hung in the
council rooms on Wednesday night Of last
week must have indicated "new . moon,
and consequently great haste was made to
give tho order "no street lamps must be
lit" Now, tho most respectable portion
of the inhabitants Of this town are sccus-
toned to attend prayer meeting on that
night-in this instance they paid dearly for
the privilege. On emerging from tho
church, the moon had long since vanished,
no street lamps were in sight, and dark
ness reignod supreme. In addition, tho
rain was coming down with binding fury,
