SeabOard Men.

Go into seaboard town and study its
people. You will find them hardy and
fearless. Warfare with the ocean has
made them so. Their life is one long
conflict with the elements, and they be-
come Injured to danger and to hardship.
But familiarity with the sea breeds no
contempt for it. Knowing it best, they
fear it most, for they have seen how re-
lentless it can be, how it will play with
the lives of men. They stand in awe of
it, and watch it as anxiously as keeper
of wild animals watching his dangerous
charge. Self-reliant they are, and what
men may dare they dare; but they know
there are things that men may not dare,
and when, be it to save life that is in
peril, or to win bread for the wife and
little ones at home, they take risks that
prudence does not warrant, it is with full
knowledge and understanding of the
danger, and with proportionate courage.
Contact with the sea makes men manly,
and in no way is their manliness shown
more than in their confession of weak
ness in the presence of their master, the
Ocean.

Prof. King has been interviewed by a
reporter on the New York Express, and
the following is his view of the possibili-
ties of the balloon:
'The balloon is condemned by many,
and Justly so, because there are those
who claim for it impossibilities. 1t can
only be used and valued for what it is
worth to science. 1t will never be used
as carrier in the strict sense, 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 for
nation of rain and snow and the action
of storms. 1t is the only thing by which
we can reach point in the heavens
clear of the earth; and for these purposes
it is invaluable.
"The day will never come when bal
looms will be made to navigate the air
against the currents. That can only be
done by fying-machines having momen-
tum, which balloon is without. You
cannot throw tuft of cotton against
the wind, for the reason that it has no
resistance. The balloons mission is sci
entifc in several ways. You know, in
case of war, it has been very useful in
escaping from besieged cities, like Paris,
for instance, and for military operations
it is the only way you have of looking
into the enemies forti6eations with inn
punity. 1t is also valuable for looking
down into deep water | had an offer
made to me once to float over Lake Erie
and search for steamer that had sunk
/ in a storm. From a 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.
From my balloon here | can see the chan
nels the boats take to Rockaway very
clearly.
II have not the least doubt that the
air will be navigated by fying-machine,
but it will have to fly better than bird
flies the same as a ship swims better
than fish; that is, the ship will carry a
thousand passengers and heavy cargo
and go through the water very swiftly
while a fish has all it can do to take care
of itself. The hying-machine will have
wide, strong wings, and will be propelled
by some great force-it may be nitro
glycerine, it may be gunpowder, and it
may be hydrogen and oxygen gas, or it
may be something else that will give it
momentum but, whatever it is, it will
be light and compact, so that handful
of it, so to speak, will last whole day.
A baseball travels when hit with a bat,
and, if there should be a fly on its sur
face, it would carry its passenger. You
know how nicely piece Of card board
can be SHE'D through the air. The flying
machine will operate on something like
the same principle, but balloons will new
er be used for the purpose, being, as l
said before, without momentum"

TUE DAILY STAR
LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

They drive home the cows from the pasture
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quaifwhistles loud in the wheathel1
That is yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick, waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-hpped strawberry grows;
They gather the earliest snow-drops
And the first crimson bud of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder-bloom white;
They find the dusky grapes, purple
In the soit-tinted October light
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy wines;
They know where the fruit hangs the thickest
On the long. thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seawceds,
And buld tiny castles of sand;
They pick up The delicate sea-shells--
Fairy barks that have drfted to land
They wave from the tall rocking tree-tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
And at night time are folded in slumber
BY song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest:
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword, and the chise and palette,
Shall be held IN the litue brown hand.

The Enchanting Woman.

What is more charming than an agree
able, graceful woman? Here and there
we meet one who possesses the fairy-like
power of enchanting all about her;
sometimes she is ignorant herself of the
magical influence, which is, however,
for that reason only the more perfect.
Her presence lights up the home; her
approach is like cheering warmth; she
passes by, and we are content; she stays
awhile and we are happy. To behold
her is to live; she is the aurora with a
human face. She has no need to dc
more than simply to be; she makes an
Eden of the house; paradise breaths from
her; and she communicates this delight
to all without making any greater troub.
lie than that of existing beside them. Ii
not hers an mestimable gift!

"Old Nails"

The wiry old President of CONNER
cial bank is known among the younger
financial fry of his town as "Old Nails, ,
possibly from his incisive decisions
and driving way of doing business.
Some time ago business man of the
place, and brother of the church in
good standing, had note discounted at
this old worthy's bank. When it became
due, the President, at the solicitation of
the makers friends, though against his
own judgment, extended it. When the
final time of payment came, the note
was discovered to be forgery, to The
scandal of the church and the astonish.
ment of the town, but not to that of the
astute bank President.
The brethren, however, rallied around
the erring one, the note was paid and the
matter supposed to be hushed up. Some
time after, however, the bank received 8
letter from another financial institution
asking their opinion as to Mr.-'snote
"Old Nails said he would answer the
letter, which he did as follows:
President-Bank:

note we would say: If it is forgery il

Things are about down to hard pan.
This is becoming more and more evident
every day. For instance, there is hang
ing. Last week The Free Press received
letter from Pennsylvania man offering
to furnish two hangings for one dollar.
Not only would the generous man do
this but he offered to throw in a COM
plete history Of the murders besides.
The time was when one hanging would
have been thought cheap at five dollars
But now the hitherto expensive luxury
of hanging is within the reach of all
Hanging always has been cheap in Penn
sylvania, chiefly on account Of it being
done at wholesale rates, but never be,
fore has a hanging been offered for fifty
cents, with an account of the murder
thrown in.
