A NEW AIR-SHlP.

A special dispatch from Bridgeport,
Conn, says: "Charles +. Ritchel, OF
this city, has invented ship designed
To sail through the air. Mr.. Ritchel
claims that it can be made to rise ana
fall as desired, without throwing over
ballast or losing gas, as in balloons, and
will always float right side up. 1t is
cylindrical in form, and the ends are cut
off square. To this great cylinder,
which is intended to float in the air i'll
horizontal position, is attached by ropes
the framework of the machine. There
is no rudder. Mr.. Ritchel having
found that with the present progress OF
invention it is impossible to steer an
air-ship with any degree OF accuracy and
certainty. Under the floor, or network
as it might more properly be called, is a
series of canvas shutters on iron frames,
lapping one over the other when closed,
thus making a permanent air-reslstlng
floor.
"This latter feature is one of the
principal features of Mr.. Ritchels IN
vention. He says that the tendency OF
a balloon, when in mid air, is to move
either up or down from one strata to
another with ever increasing velocity.
These movements have been checked
hitherto by ballast-throwing and by the
losing of gas. He proposes to remedy
this by the floor shutters and by the
means of canvas screw propeller
rugged below this floor and geared to
several cranks which may be driven by
men from the network OF the basket
aksvs.
"The propeller worked one way tends
to push the balloon or ship upward, and
by being reversed draws it toward the
earth again. When an ascent is about
to be made the balloon is cut loose from
the earth, the shutters are opened so as
to afford resistance to the air as the
machine rises upwards, and if necessary
the screw propeller is worked to aid in
tanning the machine towards the clouds.
After the desired attitude is reached the
screw is stopped, the shutters are
closed and the voyage proper common
ces. The descent can be made in the
same way.
"Another new feature which Mr..
Ritchel has introduced in ballooning il
new style of cloth for balloon cover
ing-a light and very strong substance,
which rain will not affect in either hot
or cold weather. 1t it is so strong that
it cannot be torn with the hand and,
though very thin, is almost totally i'm
pervious to light. He will soon publish
an illustrated description and plans OF
the new ship"

A PANTHER IN THE WooDs.-Our Hope
and Wells correspondent tells the fol-
lowing story of panther seen in that
vicinity: "While Peter Fuller was 60
ing home his horse became suddenly
frightened and ran home, a distance OF
about half a mile. Mr.. Fuller, with
two or three others, armed with guns
and accompanied by a dog, returned to
investigate. They saw something mov-
ing then heard several frightful screams,
and finally saw the animal, which they
had now no difficulty in recognizing as
panther, run UP a tree. They thought
home was the safest place and left the
panther undisturbed, monarch of all
he surveyed The next morning Mr..
Plat, who was sleeping in an unfinished
house short distance in the woods,
said that he was treated to serenade
of six or seven screams, which some
what frightened him, as his house was
only partly inclosed and had no roof. -

DIsRAELI AND WINES.

elbow do you manage to keep so
healthy?" he was asked by dyspeptic
fop. "By dining off sardine," was
the answer, and there was some truth
in this. To the end of his life Disraeli
always ate very sparingly when alone,
and this enabled him to keep good
appetite for public occasions, thereby re-
butting the presumption, which his pale
face suggested, that he was consump-
tive. In this connection some remarks
of his about wine may be mentioned.
Hard drinking was in fashion during his
youth, and at public dinners men who
net the bottle pass were hardly regarded
as gentlemen. Disraeli, who could
never stand much wine, suffered good
deal from this social usage, and he set
himself to study the demeanor of men
who could drink deep without being any
the worse for it. Lord Melbourne was
one of these, and he gave Disraeli a
wrinkle by saying: "You can drink if
you don't talk; if you talk
much you needn't drink, for people
will think you are drunk and let you
Alone" 1t is obvious that the excite
ment of conversation must cooperate
powerfully with the fumes of wine in
making the brain reel. Disraeli, hav-
ing noted this fact, went further into the
subject by observing that mans con-
vivial propensities are always taken for
granted if he talks in praise of wine
and appears to be very critical about it.
Some of his remarks savoring of the
most refined epicureanism may therefore
be ascribed solely to his temperate de-
sire to find excuses for not drinking.
He was not Judge of wines, though
he pretended to be, and once allowed
himself to lay down the law about Bur-
gundy against the late Lord Seton. A
droll trait in him was that he spoke en-
Enthusiastically about certain choice wines,
but he never deserted any sort of liquor,
even gin. A reason he once gave for
"saying something kind" about brandy
in the presence of a person addicted to
spirits would have had a Mephistophe-
lean ring if the subject of the observa-
ton had not been, humanity speaking,
irreclaimable; 81 could not speak i'll of
his only friend" 81 should call brandy
his enemy" interposed lady. "Ah,
well, a man hates his enemy the worse
for hearing him well spoken Of" was
the mild retort.-[ Temple Bar.

THE NIGHT SHOOTER.

In the Adirondacks once came q re-
markable episode in the annals of the
night shooter, but which is true to a
word. We had padded barely 200
yards from where killed deer, when
we heard another one walking among
the grasses at the head of the lake. The
moss-covered log rustled through the
PUSHES, with the weird half-circle of
light spreading shoreward with each
sweep of the silent paddle, and again
the white outline of the deer seemed to
grow out of the gloom ahead. Spluge,
splash it is walking toward us. Now
it stops and in the full glare of the head
light we see beautiful fat doe, her coat
beginning to assume the blue tint OF the
winter covering. With head out
stretched, she gazes earnestly at the Ian
tern, while we sit silently and admiring-
ly in the impenetrable gloom enshroud-
ing the dugout behind the light. After
satisfying her curiosity she turns to feed,
and the canoe steals upon her. Now
she is watching her shadow, cast by the
light, on the lily pads and grassy water.
Another quick stroke with the paddle
and prod her in the ribs with my gun.
At the first punch she stood like beau
tiful statue. At the second-I would
stroke her with my hand, but fear she,
waking from her astonished trance,
would kick over our dugout in her terror
she gave one great bound, causing our
log to oscillate violently and showerinp
us with cold spray, and then we heard
her bounding up the hill.-[From Forest

A North Carolina correspondent tells
how the moonshiner sells illicit whisky
"On the roadside big horn is hung to

steps out and tells you to put your hand
into her pocket. You comply. You

take out your bottle and go. Flirting

Prof. Bergstrand, of the Royal Agri-
cultural Academy of Sweden, has been
experimenting with sunflower-seed cake
as food for milch cows, and has dis
covered that it is particularly valuable
for this purpose. 1t contains from Ii
to 16 per cent of fat and 35 to SO per
cent of protein substance. 1t has, there
fore, a nutritive value considerably
above that of feeding stuffs, is OF
agreeable taste, and free from bitter and
from injurious matters. Careful ex-
pertinent also disclosed that it improved
the quality and increased the quantity
of the milk, from which was obtained
butter of undoubted excellence. The
animals to which it was fed all took to
it greedy from the first, and in each
case speedy improvement in Their
