The Value of SILENCE

There are times, even in the best
regulated families, that silence is won
derful peace maker. In certain poods
of mind and body one may be wrought
to frenzy by words and suggestions that
in other moods would have no such eff
feet. When one is hungry. or tired, or
sleepy, or sick, he cannot take the same
views that he does when full fed, fresh
and vigorous in health. If he can
make due allowance for this inevitable
state of things in himself and in those
around him, and restrain his words,
govern his tones, control his manners,
he may avert deal of trouble. An i'm
pulsive word is sometimes spark to pow
der. We are careful to keep flame from,
powder made ofsaltpetre and sulphur,
should we not be equally careful to pre-
vent social and domestic explosions?
Some people are so constituted thu in
certain moods they will say disagree; bic
things simply because. they feellike IL. If
the combustible stuff about them is wet
with the cool water of silence it vii. not
take fire, and great damage may be pre-
vented. It's mere cruelty to take dvan-
tage of a fretful child and lease and aggra-
vate and torment him, '.for the fun of
1t. And yet some tGriilies tolerate this
species of amusement. How many
words are best left unsaidl Why should
we drop Caustic remarks that can only
burn and rankle and corrode in the
hearts they touch? Why should we re-
turn railing for railing? Why should
we meet petulance with harshness? Let
us never forget that soft angwer turns
away wrath

A Gayly-Dressed Plunderer

from rose bushes, grapeyines and trees
in and around New York, IS beautiful

col bred spikes, which cross each other
an stand out IN every direction. It's

hinges, opening sidewise, and disclosing,

chinery as is seen in the mouth of a

where it is joined to the head is bunch
of dozen or more dark feathers OF I'M
equal length, tufted at The ends. Some
of these feathers are nearly as long as
the caterpillar. On the upper parts of
the folds of the body, near the head,
are black stripes. Between them on
first and each alternate fold are small
tufts of down surrounded by radiating
spikes. Then come four large
tufts, light gold on top and cream color
beneath. Immediately after these a
stripe of black and brown plush, dotted
with cream color runs down the back,
reaching to the tail. On this stripe are
two valyular pipes, like tiny red smoke
stacks. The four tufts can be plenty
seen without a glass, and the pipes are
as visible to the eye as minute red spots.
The caterpillar ends in a bunch of feath-
ers similar to those near the head. but
mich larger. Under the fore part of
the body are six legs, like the legs of a
crab. Behind are eight legs the upper
parts of which hang in heavy folds, and
looks like a boys legs with his panta-
looms pushed above his knees. These

Considerable amusement has been oc-
casioned by the statement that Mr.
Henry Irving. the distinguished English
actor, intended to bring his own critic
with him to this country and have the
opinions Of his acting made to order in
just and proper conservative English
style. Absurd as this idea is, it is never
theless quite characteristic Of the Briton,
and if it should turn out to be true we
may be assured that the official opinions
of Mr.. Irviug's acting will follow in the
English wake; that is to say, that they

BALLOONS.
The Disappointing History OF Aerias
Navigation.

Navigation.
The original idea of balloons belong
TO that droll and clever man, Cyrano de
Beagerac, who died nearly century
before the elder of the Montgol6ers was
born. Cyrano was the Jules Verne of
the seventeenth century. He wrote
number of fantastic books, which seem
to have been consulted by Swift for his
"Gnllivet," VOltaire for his "Microme-
gas, and Fontenelle for his "Mondes."
The most popular of these was "A Trip
Through the Moon, in which the hero
is made to ascend from the earth by
means of bladders filed with hot air.
Etienne Montgolfer and his brother
Joseph improved upon this suggestion
by substituting one globe of silk for sew
eral bladders. In other respects their
balloon was an adaptation of Bergerac's
idea, for 1t had an aperture at its base
into which hol air rose from charcoal
stove in the car. The Montgolfers were
the sons of q paper-maker OF AnnOnay,
and it is amusing to recollect that their
father, who was ennobled in reward for
their invention, had done his utmost to
thwart it, even threatening to disinherit
the young men if they persisted in what
he called their foolish experiments.
But the experiments were not foolish,
for the Montgolfiers thought they were
on the track of.the greatest discovery
ever made. When they had effected
first successful ascent at Annonay and
a second in Paris, in presence of Louis
XIV. and has court, the balloon on
both these occasions being captive.
all the adventurous men of Europe
became smitten with a craze for
aerial navigation; and it was assumed
that a way of steering balloons would be
found soon without much difficulty.
The experiments of the Marquis OAR
landes and of Pllatre DIES Rollers quickly
followed those of the Montgol6ers, and
in November, 1888, the last-named aero
naut went up In free balloon TO
height Of three thousand feet. The
same month an ascent was made from
Woolwich by Count Zambecarri; in 1884,
a Sig. Lunardi started in Al balloon from
Moorfelds, and in 1885 Mr.. Blanchard
and Dr. Jeffries performed their famous
Journey from Dover to Calias in two
hours 1t is disappointing that there
should have been no progress in aerial
navigation aimee this date. Balloons are
still at the mercy of the winds. Only
few DAYS ago NJ. LHoste tried 10 cross
the channel, and failed and though ero-
nauts plume themselves upon the SER
vices which they rendered to Paris dur
ing the slege, it must be remembered
that balloons had already been used for
military operations at the battle of Fleu-
rus, and that the air-ships of 1870 showed
hardly any advance on of those 1904 1t
NAV be that science will some day hit up
on the means of steering these contri-
vances but there are no signs this yet,
and one cannot feel sanguine on the SUD
iect, considering the entire failure that
has attended all experiments in this di-
rection up to the present time.-London
