the boat they could not manage to get
in without causing the boat TO fill with

two hours clinging to the boat until
they were rescued by fisherman.
Mr.. Stokes claims to have lost $75 in

the boat and sunk, and the traveller
lost large trunk of samples valued at
$500. The men could not have held

p. m. was at my home in Philadel-
phia. But next morning didn't /
catch it One of the newspapers was
headed: "Wedding in the Clouds
Disgraceful Scene! Talmage two
Miles High! Ceremony Away UpW
followed by minute description of
minister, standing somewhere near
the man in the moon, kissed the bride
and then sat down on the edge of the
balloon, and locked ten thousand feet
down at the golden sunset and the
great city beneath, with all its mighty
populations of sentient people, and
other things as fine as that. Some of
the religious papers were shocked
that is, they lied; and when religious
papers do lie, they beat the "New
York Winding Sheet" for thy come
to the work fresher. They said
"here is regular ordained minister
cutting up antics two miles above the
clouds. We feel Inundated. Let us
pray"
1t was a great harvest for the picto-
rails. The news-rooms were lined
with representations of ''Halmage
Getting into the Balloon. Talmage
with his Coat-Tail Flying over the
Side of the Balloon. Talmage Per-
forming the Ceremony. Talmage
Congratulating the Bride. Talmage
Begging to Come Down Because he
Felt so Chilly. Talmage Spilled Out
at Midnight on the Other Side of
Hoboken, Asking which Way was
Up and Down." We do not remem-
Der just the words but it was as lively
as that. The balloon professor got all
the money that was made out of the
affair, but my compensation was
chiefly religious. We got so many
good lessons from the secular and re-
ligious newspapers about that time
that we grew rapidly better, although
many did not notice the favorable
change. 1t put me on my guard
about weddings, and the next time 1
married couple l told them plainly
that / was not responsible for their
style of wedding-trip, and positively
refused to go with them anywhere,
whether in car, stage or balloon, and
that | did not care, after / had mar
ried them, whether they went up or
down.
Now, my advice to all young peo-
Lle is not to make a balloon excursion
when they get married, nor spend all
their money in going to see Niagara
Falls, or the Mammoth Cave, or the
Worlds Exhibition. The most
sensible wedding excursion is that
which is made when the groom takes
the bride from her fathers house, by
the shortest route, to his own modest
and unpretentious home, arranged
for her coming. Four rooms will do
as well as a castle. Two happy hearts
are the finest furniture; and tea
table with young married man to
ask the blessing on one side, and a
young wife to hand over the smoking
cup from the other side, beats Niaga-
IA Falls, Mammoth Cave and the
Worlds Exhibition. If heaven is
anything happier than that, know
not how we will stand it.

How to Keep the Hands Soft.
New York Analyst.

New York Analyst.
A little ammonia or boraX in the
water you wash your hands with, and
that water just lukewarm, will keep
the skin warm and soft. A little oat-
meal mixed with the water will
whiten the hands. Many people use
glyc9rine on their hands when they
go to bed, wearing gloves to keep the
bedding clean; but glycerine makes
some hands harsh and red. These
people should rub their hands with
dry oatmeal, and wear gloves in bed.
The best preparation for the hands at
night is white Of an egg, a grain of
alumni dissolved in it. "Roman tot
let paste" is merely white of egg, bar
ley -four and honey. They say it was
used by the Romans in olden times.
Anyway, it is first-rate thing, but
it is mean, sticky sort of stuff to
use, and doesn't do the work any bet
ter than oatmeal. The toughest and
hardest hands can be made soft and
white in a months time by doctoring
them little at bed time, all the tools
you need are nailbrush, a bottle Of
ammonia, box of powdered borax
and little fine, white sand to rub the
stain off, or cut lemon, which will
do even better, for the acid of the
lemon will clean anything. Mani
cures use acids in the shop, but the
lemon is quite as good and isn't
poisonous, while the acids are.

A SYSTEM OF ASSESSMENT.

There is no question Of more prac-
teal interest and importance TO the
people Of Florida than the revision
of the internal revenue laws rcgula.
ting the assessment Of the taxes.
Our present system is admitted to
be very bad. We have carefully
studied tho subject and have con.
suited several parties of good Judge.
ment and practical experience in
Putnam county. We would suggest
the following as a basis for future
work, and ask open and rigid cri,i
ci,m Of our ideas. Lot the new law
create a board Of assessors in each
election district, which shall value
the property in thoir precincts in
open session after due notice. With
this board the assessor shall consult
in making up his roll, and any point
at issue shall be decided by a ma.
jolity, in which the county assessor
shall have one vote. The assessor
shall then report to tho county com
missioncrs a. now provided by law.
Once in two years the Legislature
shall appoint a committee Of its
membels; this committee shall take
the valuation Of the whole state
and apportion the sum to be coll
lected for state purposes by each
county.
Wo will thus secure an equitable
system equali,ed throughout III,
state; the valuation will be left I,
tho" most nearly interested, and
the government will be brouuh,
nearer to the people. The improve
ment Of certain counties will l.,
provided for, and those coun,lc'
which wish to levy special runs fo1
particular purpose, might raise the
valuation withon, paying extra STATE
taxes. In this way alone We ,hinl
can the result wo hope for be- So
cured without the adoption Of cum
bersome machinery, or the creation
of new officers, and this system ha
been tried in substance by othc
states and has invariably workc,
well.
