Balloons destined for the Italian
army in Africa were tried recently
in the presence OF several French
and foreign officers and aeronauts.
One is to be used at night, and car
ries lamp equal to seventy candles
in power. Each balloon with its APP
purtenances is coiled up in box and
placed in four wheeled vehicle, at
the back of which is a pulley which
lets out the cable and acts as an an
Choir. The cables are interlaced
with wires, which enable telephone
and Geographic communication to be
kept up with the aeronauts. AS wa
tec is scarce in the Soudan, where
the balloons will be used, general
ing machine for the manufacture of
the hydrogen will be established at
Naples, and the gas will be packed
in steel tubes and carried away for
campaigning purposes. Forty tubes
will suffice for the imitation of the
balloons. The recent experiments
were successful, the balloons being
worked by six men.

Mrs. James, OF Syracuse, Kan &,
discovered her five-year-old boy stir
ring around in basket of old clothes
that had been placed in "A corner Of
the woodshed to be out of the way.
Upon the child looking up and hasti-
ly leaving, Mrs. James concluded to
see what he was about, and to her
horror discovered "a nest OF rattle
snakes, six young ones and an old
ona with eight ruttivs. A scream
brought MIR. James 10 the scene, and
he hastily disposed of them. CUES
tioning the child, it was learned that
he had been caring Tor the snakes
since warn weather. He could
handle the young reptiles as he
pleased and the old snake never OBJ

YOUR BEST FRIEND.

There is one safe friend for every
maiden; it is her mother. Who
should you trust, in whom place cor
tidence, if not in her? No one else
loves you so ueselfishly and no one
else ever has loved you so long. 1t
is pity when girls are not con6den-
tial with their mother. There are
times when every woman needs an
older woman to guide and help her,
and her mother is at these times her
natural counselor and guardian. II
she has no mother. let hef snow her
trouble and unfold her perplexities
to some motherly woman, aunt, sis
ter, friend, in whom she can beliyo.
Many heartache would be soothed,
many vexation rolled away, and
many a modification saved if girls
would remember that they have not
the wisdom Of Solomon nor the dig
nifty OF Deborah as yet on their un-
wrinkled brows. Situations that
battle them would be palmer to more
experienced eyes, and they would be
guided over hard places.

Kansas City, Mo-, has her full
share of sensations. The latest is
that young lady, Miss Mary Nor
ris, daughter Of a clergyman, married
George Holmes, a young millionaire,
who for some time had been mas
querading as a horse jockey. When
the marriage became known the pa
rents on both sides freely forgave
the young people, and Mr.. Holmes,
ST., gave them d handsome house
fully equipped, together with a con-
siderable sum of money, as a bridal
present. Although this bit of ro-
nance terminates very happily, it
would not be well for other young
ladies to cast their destinies with
horse jockeys, all of whom are not
millionaires.

After you get angry and stop your
paper just poke your finger in water,
pull it out and look for the hole.
Then you will know how sadly you
are missed. A man who thinks a
paper cannot survive without his
support ought to 90 of and stay
awhile. When he comes back half
his friends will not know he was
gone, and the other half will not care
a cont, while the world at large kept
no account of his movement. You
will find things that you canont en-
dorse in every paper. Even the BIZ
bic is rather plain and hits some hard
llcks. If you were to get mad and
burn your Bible the hundreds Of
presses would still go on printing 1t
and when you stop your paper and
call the editor names, the paper will
still be published, and what is more
you'll read it on the the sly.--Au

HOW TO DEAL WITH DRuNKARDS.
From the Suns Cable Letter

From the Suns Cable Letter.
The country solons who make the
laws of the little commune near
Mons, in Belgium, have shown great
wisdom 10 dealing with drunkards.
A few months ago a law was passed
making it serious offense to be pal
pably drunk in Belgium. Those TO-
cal wise men copciuded that the law
wac zoo severe, and that they would
content themselves with making
drunkards useful and diminishing
drunkenness at she same time. When
arunkards appear on the streets of
this village the Garde Champetro
takes them politely home l'he next
morning he goes to the houses of all
those whom he had found drunk the
night before and presents to each a
broom for sweeping the streets. The
drunkard ia allowed to choose be-
swoen working for the commune for
one day and being prosecuted for
drunkenness. lie invariably elects
to sweep the streets. The village
streets are in consequence marvel
ously clean, and the sweepers, after
swallowing more than their rhnre of
dust, pass mental resolutions of So

100000 by excessive and untimely
rains. So complete was the dis
couragement that the wheat acre
age of the United Kingdom decreased
from 1880, 767 acres in 1874 to 1907, $50
in 1SSl-more than 80 per cent. In many
instances farm laborers harvested wheat
in rubber boots, and spread tho harvest
on hummocks and scaffolding to dry be.
tween showers. Tho results to the
United States are most eloquently told in
these fgures
From 1880 to 1880 the United States
exported 95S,3S0, 092 bushels of wheat,
and of this total, 667 ,420, sol bushels,
moro than .wo-thirds, were exported in
the ten years ending $780, and two.thirds
of that, nearly half Of the whole, 443,.
4l0. 425 bushels, were sent In the last five
years. In short, the exports in those five
years were more than 80 per cent greater
than In the forty years from 1880 to 1870.
Though British crops improved, the area
Of wheat growing had been so reduced by
the discouraged farmers that the i'm
mense American export continued some
years longer. x*~
1t may interest American farmers to
learn also that they have not attained to
anything like the possible yield per acre;
for even in the notably bad years The
British averaged fraction over eighteen
bushels per acre, as In ordinary years
they average thirty. Some of the states
OF Germany average thirty-two, one year
