a BALLOON NOVELTY.

Description of Eugene Godard's Air-Ship
"AeriaI Dynamiter."
The well-known aeronaut, M. Eugene
GODDARD, has recently completed bal
loon for army use which is certainly a
novelty in aerial architecture. Its
height is between so and 90 feet
and its diameter nearly 80 feet. In the
centre of the circular car is cylinder
shaped furnace, from 6 to 0 feet
high, the chimney of which passes up
into an opening in the balloon. which
is made of the ordinary warn she'd silk.
This is between seven and eight feet in
diameter. The furnace is fed with
staw and the heat passes up into the
balloon through the chimney. To
guard against fire grating over the
latter prevents the ascent of the sparks.
The weight of the furnace is 220 kllos,
and that of the balloon when contain
Ing two passengers is about 2,50Opounds
The whole apparatus will not cost more
than 5000 francs. When the balloonist
wishes to rise, he must 'fre up as he
would an engine, and when he wishes
to descend the opening OF waive ana
the emission of the heated air achieves
that object. To prevent the descent be-
ing too sudden, the balloon is provided
with an automatic parachute. The use
of ballast is unnecessary. The supe-
riority of the new balloon consists in its
cheapness and the rapidly with which
it can be inflated valuable conditions
in army operations. 1.-The Aerial by
namiter "-such is the name of the new
air-ship- can be inflated with heated
air for 40 francs, whereas it would re,
quire an outlay of 1900 francs if gas
were used. it is also claimed that the
new balloon can be shot at and shot
through with impunity, as the hot air is
inexplosive and uninflammable, while
the balloon itself will always be kept III
in the air by the parachute, which il
over fifty feet in circumference.-M 4

FASHIONABLE CLOTHES.
The Cost of the Average Metropolitan So

The Cost of the Average metropolitan So
ciety Swelrs Wardrobe.
A tailor who makes clothes for FASH
ionable young men-and fashionable old
men. too, for that nlatter-says that
marked change has come over the meth
DDS of some of his customers during the
last wear or two. 1t used to be the
proper thing for rich men to make con-
tracts with their tailors for year sup
ply of clothes at so much per year. They
got new suit and wore it as long as it
looked fresh; then they would take it
back and obtain new one in its stead,
and so they were able to go through
the year in a well-dressed way. 1t was
an English custom that the gentlemen
imported, and it was considered quite
the necessary way for several years, till
suddenly somebody began to suspect
that it was not quite as economical
as some other plan might be.
The same thing dawned on
lots of other people soon
after, and that ended the custom. A
rich mans tailor made WARDROBE on this
plan used to cost anywhere from 81 900
to $4,000 per year, IN exceptional cases,
of course, amounting much higher. 1t
was bonanza for the tailor, whose hot
flatirons seldom failed to make creas-
ed suit returned by one customer bright
and fresh enough for another.
Now rich men are paying for their
clothes as they get them, at so much
per suit. The old style, which did not
amount to more than a renting OF the
clothes, and which went under on the
score of economy, makes way for new
scheme, which, if the tailors are to be
believed, is a good deal more expen'
siye.

A physician, who is known uptown
as the attendant upon some well-known
families, was presented some time ago
by an English manufacturer with a
pece of cloth for pair OF trousers:
He took the cloth to his tailor and
ordered it made up. When the panta.
looms were sent him bill came with
them for $50. He dropped in to pay
the bill, and with smile that seemed
based on the well-grounded belief that
his tailor had blundered he pointed out

Why Really GoodtNarm Produce Will Al
ways Sell IA High Prices.
An excellent home market for his pro-
duce may be made by any one who will
give special attention. to the quality OF
the products made ON his farm: The
farmer who is well known to the people
of the nearest village rs one who pays
special attention to all the necessary de-
tails for supplying only the best, will
soon find himself bupRned with more
orders than he cga fill, andrwhen such a
reputation is once gained there will be
no difficulty in securing good prices, nor
need there be fear of opposition. as the
buyers are always ready and willing to
paw for good article when they have
implicit confidence in the producer. The
confidence is the secret Of success. The
first thing to do is to teach the purchasers
that even when you have the opportu.
nity for so doing you will take no adj
vantage of them, and that what you
guarantee may be relied npon. In this
manner of doing business a mutual ben.
eft will result to both parties. Oleomar.
garine or buttesine will be no obstacle in
the way of one whom the purchasers
have confidence, and they will not find
objections should d proper compensa-
tionbe required for the really meritor-
GUS articles.
At the recent New York show there
we're exhibits of eggs for the table.
Among the rules observed in securing
such eggs were that no egg should be
kept on the farm longer than the next
day after it was laid, and no stale eggs
we're used as nest eggs. A circular was
printed enlightening buyers in regard
the difference in quality between fresh:
| ly-laid egg and one that was stale, and
everv endeavor was made to assure the
buver that only the fresh, newly-laid
eggs were sold. The consequence is
that the party who engages in the bust
ness sells his eggs for sixty cents a
dozen when others do not realize
twenty cents, although eggs are sold
equally as good as those he brings to
market, but as he does not buy eggs,
and collects them on his farm only, the
purchasers have confidence in him and
paw him accordingly.
This is no fancy sketch, but is actual
ly daily occurrence, and as is the
case with eggs SO with milk, butter
cheese, fruit, poultry and vegetables
The best articles will always sell, ant
realize high prices, and he who deter
mines to produce only that of frs
quality will find his customers read!
and willing to encourage him--farn'
