The Value of Silence.

There are times, even in the best
regulated families, that silence is won
derful peace maker. In certain moods
Of mind and body one may be wrought
to frenzy by words and suggestions that
in other moods would have no such ef-
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 allowence 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 DOW
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 that in
certain moods they will say disagreeable
things simply becausesthey feel like it. If
the combustble stuff about them is wet
with the cool water Of silence it will not
take fire, and great damage may be pre-
vented. It is mere cruelty to take advan-
tage offs fretful child and tease and aggra-
vate and torment him, ''for the fun of
it." And yet some families tolerate this
species of amusement. How many
words are best left unsaid! 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 anDwer turns
away wrath.

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. Absurdas 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.. Irving's acting will follow in the
English wake; that is to say, that they
will be ponderous, exact and non-com'
mittal-full of wise laws and learned
precedents. but wholly devoid of any in.

all else like to discover positiveness oil
conviction and bravery Of utterance in
their dramatic criticisms.

BALLOO
The Disappointing History OF Aerias
ss-s Navigation. ~-.*-

N>~A3ssS
= 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 Montgolfers was
born. Cyrano was the Jules Verne OF
the seventeenth century. He wrote q
number of fantastic books, which seem
to have been consulted by Swift for his
"Gullivet," Voltaire for his "Microme-
gas" and Fontenelle for his 'Mondes."
The most popular of these was "a Tip
Through the Moon" in which the hero
is made to ascend from the earth by
means of bladders filled with hot air.
Etienne Montgolfier 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 it had an aperture at its base
into which hot air rose from charcoal
stove in the car. The Montgolfers were
the sons of a 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 Montgol6ers thought they were
on the track of the greatest discovery
ever made. When they had effected
first successful ascent at Annonay and
second in Paris, in presence Of Louis.
XIV. and his court, the balloon on
both these occasions being. captive
all the adventurous men Of Europe
became smitten with craze for
aerial navigation; and it was assumed
that wav of steering balloons would be
found soon without much difficulty.
The experiments of the MARQUIS d'Ar-
landes and of Pllatre des Roziers quickly
followed those of the Montgolfiers, and
in November, 1888, the last-named aero.
naut went up in a free balloon to a
height OF three thousand feet The
same month an ascent was made from
Woolwich by Count Zambecarri; in 1884,
Sig. Lunardi started in a balloon from
Moor6elds, and in 1885 Mr.. Blanchard
and DR.. Jeffries performed their famous
Journey from Dover to Calias in two
hours. It 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 M. L'Hoste tried to cross
the channel, and failed; ; and though sero'
nauts plume themselves upon the ser
vices which they rendered to Paris dur
ing the siege, 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 1894. 1t
| may be that science will some day hit up
on the means of steering these contri-
vances, but there are no signs of this yet,
and one cannot feel sanguine on the sub
lect, considering the entire failure that
has attended all experiments in this .di-
rection up to the present time.-London

Bismarck and Gambetta.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times in July, 1878, dined with Prince
Bismarck, He relates the following incl
dent: During the conversation, NJ. Gam :
BETA g name having been mentioned, the
prince exclaimed, @Gambetta! That is a
man I should like to see before die.
Despite all that is said to the contrary, he
is very remarkable man. He towers over
the heads of his fellow -countrymen. I am
told he is bewitching: yet it is said men
who are bewitching are never great states
posed the correspondent, "that your high
ness was bewitching; yet you pass FOR q
great statesman. AT any rate" replied
the prince. smiling, Il have not that repu-
tation in Germany" After another half
hours talk, Prince Bismarck again said
"Yes, I should certainly not wish to die
without seeing M. Gambetta. y t'e4 o. =.

The experiments with Ericsson's nov-
el torpedo boat, ''The Destroyer" in
New York harbor, seems to be going far
toward providing an effective coast de-
fense. The plan of attack for this engine
of destruction is to run her within 300
feet Of hostile vessel which is to be
shattered below the water line by shot
from submarine gun. The recent ex-
periments have proved that the pitching
OF the vessel in rough water does not
affect the course of the projectile; that
the concussion does not damage the
steam connections when the boat is
under full boiler pressure, and that there
is no danger of a premature explosion of
the torpedo when, on being fred, it
displaces the valve at the mouth of the
gun,

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 valvular pipes, like tiny red smoke
stacks. The four tufts can be plsinly
seen without glass, and the pipes are
as visible to the eye as minute red spots.

The question has been asked what the
military esta blishment of China consists
of. It consists of the imperial guard
$4,000 strong; the infantry guard, $500
strong; 1850 artillerymen; the Chihl
armory, oficered by Englishmen, $4,000
strong and armed with breech-loadine
rifles. Altogether China can put into the
field at moments notice about one
hundred and twenty thousand men. Be.
hind this her reserve in case of conscrip.
ton is almost incalculable. She has
three fleets, the Canton, the Flu Kiane
and Shanghai, numbering twenty-nine
men-of-war of modern pattern. Thir.
teen of these vessels are built of steel
and are said to be superior in armament
and defensive equipment to any boat o1
it's size afoat.

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS

A Newman special to the Constitution
gives an interview with the boy, White,
who was stolen by ..Oglesree. now so noto-
rious for stealing boys. The Constitution
previously gave the de-ails of Ogletree's ab-
duction Of Charles Tildon from Atlanta,
and of three other boys in Haralson county
all or whom he subjected to beastly treat
ment before they escaped. The abduction
of Joe Allen White aroused the country
and numerous parties were in pursuit of the
rascal. A few days since he was so closely
pursued that he tied the boy in fence cor
ner and moved out himself. When found
the boy was nearly dead from fight and
want of food. He ssid the man ap.

owned saw mill in Tennessee and wanted
him to- work. His story of rambling

PERSONAL MENTION

Ex- Congressman F. G.. Deering and W.
L. Eaton of Osage Iowa, and Capt. J..
6. Standing, Chrnito, Iowa, representing
syndicate of Iowa capitalists. have COM
pleted the purchase of twenty-five acres of
valuable coal lands of General Land
Agent Weymiss of the Northern Pacific.
The lands are located on the east side of the
Missouri river, sixty miles orthwest of
Bismarck, and contain a nine foot vein
outcropping en- the bank OF the river, $50
feet below the surface. This is the first coal
developement east of the Missouri, and the
coal is in quality much superior to the
Ignite found west of the stream. The
field seems to be quite extensive and it is
understood that the syndicate will probab-
ly increase their purchase. The gentlemen
composing the party are all capitalists of
large means and of wide business experience,
and it is their intention to prepare their
plant and commence working the vein in
the near future, having bought the land
for the purpose of developing its resources
and not for speculation.
