His New Flying Machine.

An enterprising saloon keeper on
Grand River avenue is always on the
lookout for any novelty that may draw
customers and perhaps this fact may
have been known to bland-faced old
man who entered the place the other
day and confidentlally began

Is to toss her into the air. and away she
sails. It's right down fine, and no
chance for failure. and I'll be on hand

The matter became noised about and
next evening there was fifty or sixty
people In and around the saloon to wit.

Ventilation of School Rooms.

a school room that is solely indepen-
dent upon open windows for ventilation
Ii unfit for use during the greater part
of the year. Children sitting near the
windows cannot be exposed to draughts,
and except in warm weather such
rooms cannot be thoroughly ventilated
In this way. The device of fitting
boards under the window, so as to sep
arate the sashes a few inches in the
middle and admit fresh air, without
creating current, ,is useful in hospitals,
but does not meet the requirements of a
crowded school room. The ventilation
OK school buildings ought not to be left
TO chance. but. should be systematically
provided for. Children are tender
plants that thriye in fresh air, and
droop, spindle and wither in foul air.
One OF the best proofs that the air i'm
school rooms is too unfit for children to
breathe is the prevalence of near-sight-
edness among the older pupils. The
eye, being the most delicate bit of me-
chanism of the human body, requires
the best blood which the physical sys-
tenn can command, and consequently
suffers more than any other organ when
the blood In vitilated by the inha lation
OF foul air year after year. To near
sightedness are added other positive in
dications OF the paleful effects of car
bonic acid In the school atmosphere
the pale faces and impaired health of
the children and the chronic headaches
and nervous depression of the teachers.
The subject is one of vital Importance
TO the public, and any authoritative in
formation which may be forthcoming
ought not to be capriciously suppressed.

ness the experiments sThe old man ar
rived on time, having some sort of a
bundle under his arm, and he collected
his dollar of the saloonist and secured
several treats from the crowd. When
everything was finally ready he stood
on the walk clear Of the spectators and
said
Gentlemen, T warrant this thing to
fly. I didn't invent it myself; but am
now acting as State.agent to dispose of
county rights. Hundreds Of men have
spent years of anxious thought and
thousands Of dollars in seeking to in
vent flying machines, but this one leads
them ALL She will now fly. Please
stand back and give her chance to
rise.'
The crowd fell back, and the man let
fall the cover hiding his bundle, and
gave an old speckled hen a toss in the
air. She uttered dismal squeak sailed
this way and that, and llnally bumped
against a telegraph post, and settled
down on the roof of q low shed, caok-
ling in an indignant manner at being
turned loose in strange neighborhood.
1t was fully q minute before the crowd
was sure that it was hen, and during
that minute the old man is supposed to
have run distance of seven blocks. A
few tried to overhaul him, but it was
no use.-M. Quad.

situated at Atwater, Merced county.
"Buhach" is the trade mark; the botan.

company owns 400 acres of land at At

Bubach, and of which 300 are bearing.

A Successful Marriage.
IPhiladelphia Record,l


At midnight of last w ednesday DR.. NJ.
Howard Fussell, Of Manayunk, was
married to Miss Sallie Entwistle, at No.
lG9 Green Lane. The groom was sup
posed to be a dying man at the time, and
it was feared that the response he made
in the ceremony would be his last on
earth. The affair is a romantic one.
Miss Entwistle had been engaged for o
long time to marry DR.. Fussell. and May
7 had been fixed for the wedding. It
was, however, postponed recently on ac-
count of the Doctors unexpected illness.
He had graduated from the Medical
Department Of the University Of Penn
sylvania week before last, and had
moved to Manayunk to practice his pro.
fession when he was stricken down.
4 His illness soon became alarming, and
after few days Miss Entwistle went
out to nurse him. n was soon evident
that but slight hopes of his recovery were
entertained by his physicians, who final
ly told him that in their opinion death
was at hand. He at once expressed
wish that the marriage should take
place Immediately. This happened to be
Oh the 7th of the month, the date long
ago settled upon, but afterward aban.
doned. At midnight Rev. w. j. Mills,
the pastor of Mount Zion Methodist
Episcopal Church, few doors below the
house in which ,heceremony was to take
pace, was sent for, and IN US brief
time as possible the dying man and his
weeping nurse were made man and wife.
The physicians feared that their patient
uoul1 not live throuob tho oara,ponv
but, to their surprise aud qualification
and the delight of the newly made wife,
he at once began to mend aud has been
improving ever since. The crisis ap.
peared to have been reached and sue
cessfully passed just as the wedding took
place. Last night there was every rea-
son to believe that the patient would
soon be well man. Mrs. Fussell is q
daughter OF Thomas w. Entwistle, Of
Phenixville.

True Words.

The real home is in the country, and
it is something more than a dwelling
The fields and trees around it are part
of it, and the views from it of the land
scape, and of distant mountains, per-
haps, make it unlike any other place in
the world. The country home, with its
aexity of surroundings, has usually
some measure of permanence, and the
social life formed there is under the ia
vorable conditions of old family associa-
tions. The hom, which it makes is the
best thing Of farm life. AS there is no
sudden or great accumulation Of wealth,
the family is free from that discomfort
which usually comes with sudden or
great acquisition, 1t is one of the com
pensations Of their condition that the
farmers family is in that 'fxity of sur
roundings" which favors their highest
culture. .-Couatry GentiemDn.
