THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN THE
WORLD TO LIVE.

'tComing down to the question Of
cheapness and comfort" said Mr.. Bridge,
81 believe that the island of St. Michael,
the pearl of the Azores group, is about
the best place in the world. The climate
is soft and agreeable, the scenery lovely
and the people noted for their simplicity
and kindness. Labor is very cheap, and
consequently the roads leading from the
town of st. Michael are of the finest
character. The streets are kept marvel
ously clean. The island is about so miles
square and picturesque. One can buy
five eggs for 2 cents, a chicken for 12}
cents, beef for 3 cents pound, and hire
good house for 81 a month. You can
live we'll for 5000 year; handsomely On
800, and live in superb style, keeping
carriage and horses, for $1,000. The
gardens are beautiful features of the is
land. In one garden there are 1000
plants of different varieties, The land is
owned by few rich people and ronts
very high. \ quarter Of an acre brings
S15 year. The peasants or laboring
people go barefooted and live very econ
omically. Probably 500 a year sup
ports small family. The fashions in
| dress have not changed within a hundred
years, and this applies to the best socie-
ty. The women wear copakes, a gar
ment reaching from the neck to the feet
and bearing some resemblance to the
ulster which the ladies of San Fran.
cisco wear. The head covering is called
''capilla' and is like one of the old
fashioned New England bonnets, but il
is attached some way to to the copake
A girl, seeing a stranger approaching,
conceals her face with the capilla. The
native people recognize their friends by
their feet.-[San Francisco Bulletin.

would follow little damage to our frail
vessel. Thousands of feet below US our
! breathless, mangled bodies would be
found by strangers. Again that awful
lightning crinkIed over Us, lingereing
around and seeming to set Us all on fire.
and again that crashing peal succeeded.
In the comparative silence that followed
we could hear the wild roaring of the
wind below us; but with US all was still.
| Five times more did that crinkliDg fire
and almost deafening roar make US think
our last moment was at hand, and then
We suddenly emerged into lighter re-
gion and saw the stars above and clouds
below rs.
Alas! we had only escaped one danger
for another. We were ascending and the
valve was fast. We had no means by
which to force ourselves down. Already
the gas was pouring out below and we
soon began to feel unpleasant sensations
i'll our head. We were going up, up, up,
and would soon be at a point where the
balloon would burst. What was to be
done? Something quickly or our voyage
end in eternity. The professor himself
became alarmed. He pulled and tugged
at the cord till he felt it was hopeless,
and then stood for few minutes with
his hands pressed against his temples.
There was no crying or complaining now.
We all knew our danger; and in silence,
except perhaps an occasional moan, were
preparing ouselves for our last change.
Suddenly the professor started and
threw off his outer garments with great
rapidity and then drew off his boots. The
next moment, without word to Us, and
before we were aware of his purpose, he
had swung himself clear of the car and
was boldly climbing up the ropes 20 the
netting above, with nothing to keep him
from the eternal fall but the frail hold OF
his hands. We comprehended his de-
sign; and all, how prayfully We watched
him in the dim light till he had gone be-
yond our sight, and then how we elasped
each others hands with tremulous ex-
pectations and silently stared in each
others wondering faces and fervently
prayed for his success.
Five minutes, that seemed like an age
then, and we heard the peculiar sound of
the escaping gas. Noble man? he has
saved us. Another minute and, in the
dim light, we saw his form descending,
and We prayed for him still, for we could
not aid him. Down, down-slowly, eau
tiously-tiIl at last his feet rested on the
car; and then, with a wild shout, we
caught him in cur arms and mingled our
tears Of gratitude with his.
We now struck ourrout of oir that
carried us away from the storm, and then
we descended to the earth as gently as a
bird on the wing and found ourselves
within two miles of a railway station and
hundred from London. The following
morning we were within the limits Of the
mighty city, relating our adventures to
our anxious and wondering friends.

A New ENGLAND farmer not having
room to stanchion all of the steers he was
fattening. tied four of them with ropes.
After time he thought the last mention
ed were doing better than the others. To
satisfy himself as TO the cause of their
greater thrift, he put them into the stan-
chions, and put others in their places.
These in turn showed more improvement,
and he became satisfied that the cause Of
the unthrift lay not in the steers or feed.
but in the manner OF fastening in the
stable. It is we'll known that when ami
mails begin to take on flesh, they show
more of q disposition to rub and lick
themselves. A iudicious use of the brush
and curry comb might have a tendency
to allay this irritation, bat it Is plain
that little effort expended to make n
fattening animal comfortable IS not lost.
