Genesis of the Balloon.

Just one hundred years ago the first
successful balloon was completed in the
little French town of Annonay. The
brothers Montgolfer were already well
known as experimentalists of what was
considered the rashest kind, and when a
balloon filed with smoke assembled out
side the town the enthusiasm and ex-
clten1ent Of the people knew no bounds.
Scientists at Paris took it up, improve
ments followed and as a matter of
course, and certain Prof. Charles and
two practical business men named
Roberts sent off a balloon inflated with
hydrogen gas, which was successfully
launched In the midst of an immense
crowd, mounted patrols preceding it
with flaming torches. Unfortunately
although the first trip was successful.
the following day, upon a second trial.
it exploded and became the first of long
List of casualties in the same line. Ten
years later balloons were first success
fully used in warfare at the battle of
Fleurus.

OEd-Time BARRIERS.

In olden times in England shaving was
a lengthy operation, and some instru-
ment of music, such as guitar or
either was generally to be found in the
BARRIERS shop, SO that musical Gus
toner could amuse himself and others
while awaiting his turn. In old pictures
the shaving basin fitted into the chin;
until recent period BARRIERS were wont
to bleed their patients and even extract
teeth. In London the familiar BARRIERS
pole, with its red spiral coil of color, is
reminiscence of the staff the surgeon
gave his customer to grasp while he was
being bled. The tape or bandage was
twisted round the pole, which, when not
in use, was placed outside the door.
This staff was by order left outside
surgeons door, as sign Of his profes-
sion, and for convenience the painted
pole was substituted as a sign, and the
right To use it was extended to BARRIERS
about the year 1890.

gold watch and chain as testimonial to the
great good she has accomplished for the eman-

her bin entitled 'An act to establish and pro-
tect the rights of married women" passed this
last legislature at Salem. The bill is as follows:
Section 1. All laws which impose or recognize
civil disabilities upon wife which are not i'm
posed or recognized as existing to the husband,
are hereby repealed: Prouided, That this act
shall not confer the right to vote or hold office
upon the wife except as is otherwise provided
by law, and for any unjust usurpation of her
property or natural rights she shall have the
same right to appeal in her own name alone to
the courts of law or equity for redress that the
husband has. Section2. Henceforth the rights
and responsibilities of the parents, in the alb
sence OF misconduct, shall be equal, and the
mother shall be as fully entitled to the custody
and control OF the children and their earnings.

The Ohio State Board of Agriculture is MAX
ing arrangements for the fullest and most
accurate returns of the wheat crop ever collected
in that state. 50 Threshers' blanks for wheat -
are sent out to correspondent IN each township,
who are requested to fill them up with the dates
of threshing, acres of wheat threshed. and
bushels obtained on each farm in the district.
These returns when collected will give very
reliable estimate of the wheat crop of the
state. The item of 50 acres of wheat threfhed -
IN each job is specially insisted on. The as
SCISSORS returns give the access of wheat in each
county, and by comparing the returns with the
assessment rolls it will be possible to supply
approximate correctness the deficiencies in any
county. The system is an excellent one, and
ought to be generally extended throughout the
wheat-growing states.

DeY is CALM.

At the last meeting of the Lime Kiln
Club, says the Detroit Free Press, there
was Grape on the bear trap as the ianitor
opened the doors to admit the crowd.
No one could say who was missing, and
every eye was turned upon the president
as he arose and said:
''TwO nights ago at midnight [ saw
Brudder Ryan Jones take leave of airth
to cross the dark ribber. De ole man
had been aillin' fur weeks, an he was
ready to go. When his eyes looked
under de dark cloud of death an cotched

his friends about him an sot beside him
when his life went out. If dar am man
in dis hall who believes wild Bob Inger-

of dat poo ole black man began slippin'

brought de smile oh JOY to de ole mans
face? What put de look ofblessed salts.
fackshun in his eye? Why did he
welcome de comm of dat sleep which
knows no wakin' till de blast of de
trumpet turns airth into Paradise?
SWAY down in de rice fields OF
Louisiana lies de body of his ole wife,.
Dat smile of JOY was bon at de thought
of meetin' her at de gates of heaven. In
a green lane in Georgia lies de dust of
his first bon chile. Dat look cum to his
eyes when he realized dat befo' de NOR
row he would fold dat boy in his arms.
In de Vars of de long ago dey took his

blessed family reunion up dar' behind

who has let go of life wild smile On his

dat poo ole man. He could not read,
but he could pray. He could not write,
but he could hope. Jist befo de bells
struck midnight, we saw his smile
brighten, an he pinted wild his finger
into distance. Shall I tell you what de
ole man saw? He saw beyond de cur
tain which hangs between life an

an hosts upon hosts marchin' down to de
dark ribber. He saw beyond dat. He.
