AN AWFUL FALL.
Straight Down for 2, 900 Feet Before
His Parachute Opened.

A most exciting incident took place in
connection with the balloon ascension
at Stafford Springs, Conn.,, recently.
professor" Hogan, the parachute ''ar-
tist," who had been engaged to make a
balloon ascension, had waited all day
for the wind to die down. About $50
o'clock, before 5000 spectators, he in
hated his monster machine and assembled
gradually to height of 1000 feet, or
nearly mile. AT that enormous height
the balloon with its occupant appeared
to be about the size of frog.
According to his programme, the
aeronaut at this point fixed his balloon
SO that it would fall to the earth alone,
and prepared to make his daring descent
by means of the parachute which was
attached to the side of the balloon by q
small cord. The parachute, when in
flated, is sort of cone in shape, the
base of which looks like an umbrella,
the sides being numerous cords and the
apex being n small iron ring to which
the professor hangs by his hand.
Mr.. Hogan jumped from the basket at
that terrible altitude with the iron ring
in his hand. The cord attaching the
chute to the balloon at once broke, leav-
ing the dare devil with his flimsy appar-
atus nearly o mile from the earth.
A terrible thing now happened. The
cords had become entangled and stiff
ened by the rain, and prevented the
great chute from expanding its broad
surface in the air, through which the
aeronaut was falling with frightful
speed. The people below, looking up
with wide-open mouths, could see moth
ing but q dark line becoming longer at
each instant, and coming toward the
earth with the speed of lightning. "My
God" cried looker-on, "Hogan's
gone" A woman clutched frantically q
strange man at her side as the body in
the air was seen to caree1 to one side,
rs if unstable. At this point, when fully
one-halt of the descent had been
made in but o few seconds, and
when not one of the 5000 spectators ex-
pected aught else but catastrophe, the
great surface of the chute was seen to
expand, and thence there was only
graceful, easy fall that turned every
groan to smile.
When the performer reached the
ground he said that at the beginning of
the descent he realized his danger, but
could do absolutely nothing bat clutch
the ring. He was unable to breathe, his
head began to swim, faintness overlook
him, and his sensation was that his fing-
ers were relaxing their hold. At this
point, however, the entangled cords that
held inclosad the folds of the chute were
snapped by the enormous pressure of
the air, and he was saved from certain
death.

ROYAL INFANTS SOLDERING.
How the Kaiscr's Babies are Taught
the Art of War

| With the advent of Wilhelm II, the
spirit of Prussian militarism is becoming
more and moro apparent. Until then it
had been tempered by the advanced age
of Wilhelm 1. and the supposed liberal
ism of Friedrich ILL.,; but nothing can
be so characteristic of the tendency of
Prussian aspirations, so comical, and at
the same time more sad, than the way
III which the sons of the Kaiser are
brought up at Oberhof. The Kaiser,
who is very partial of being photograph
ed with his children, is of opinion that
they are better away, both from himself
and their mother, and therefore has sent
them to distance of twelve hours ride
by road from Berlin, with their civil and
military attendants.
This is what is to be seen at Ober-
hof: Three small boys, aged respectively
6, 5 and 4 years, dressed in military
uniform, booted and spurred, and drag
ging sword. Apparcled in this fashion
they study and strut about day after
day.
In the play ground bastion has been
constructed and armed with q couple of
cannon, and at distance of one hun
dred yards or so their is a bivouac On
this spot while one of the princes Justify
beats q drum, the other two march up
and down in military style, with rife to
shoulder. Three non-commissioned
offcers-two on foot and one on horse
back-join in their pastime and teach
them their drill. The ladies-in- waiting
are posted short distance off, in attend
ance of the baby prince, who is dressed
IN long white frook, but wears q small
culrassler's undress cap.
The Kronprinz appears to take great
delight in these exercises. He is anx-
lous to have military matters fully ex-
planned to him, and on one occasion,
when he had been informed on the sub
ject of camp life, exclaimed: "But in
camp one may smoke pipe.''
Let it be understood that this is no
mere playing at soldiers. 1t is quite o
serious affair, for just lately on the o.
casion of the Second Battalion Sixth In
fantry regiment marching past the cha
teau of Oberhof the princes came out
and took up position in front of the
gates, and as soon as the first line of
men were abreast of them the Kronprinz
gave the word Of command, "Present
arms"
They are not only taught the ways
but some expressions pertinent to bar
rack life. They ask to drink in the fash
ion common to Prussian soldiers, they
sit at small beer tables and have their
beer serve in books. In this way the
Prussian military legend is sustained.
They are soldiers already, these poor
before they know right
from wrong. London Star.

Bismarck's Health.

NJ. Perivier, of lie Figaro, saw Prince
Bismarck recently OF Friedrichsruhe,
and thus describes him: "Ihe Bis
marck now before me was very different
from the Bismarck | used to see in Ber.
in six or seven years ago before DR..
Schweninger took him in hand. The
Bismarck of to-day is thin and bony,
and the doctor has, it is we'll known, dis
encumbered him of his unhealthy fat
merely by preventing him drinking with
his meals. He is looking remarkably
well, his gait is swift and automatic, but
denotes real vigor; his complexion is
clear and almost pink, no doubt the re,
suit of the health laden breezes from the
German Ocean and the Baltic. remark
also that the features are softened down;
you scan them in vain to discover that
harshness, not to say ferocity, which
are so apparent in his photographs. It
may, however be due the fact of his civ
ilian garb. His soft, felt hat, very
much the worse for wear, his long gray
coat and heavy stick, give him the as
pect of plain, country gentleman come
to the station to meet friend. When
he dons uniform fieis another man,
and looks the surly trooper all over
The country folks have repeatedly no.
ticed this difference. The Chancellor's
healthy appearance is not deceptive. All
the people in whose midst he lives tell
me that his health is better than it has
been for years past, and proof of this
is that this year it has not been found
necessary to send him to Kissingen."

Japan's Improved Condition.

Frank G. Carpenter says In letter
from Toxic that Japan has to-day as
good postal system as any country OF
Europe, and the originator of its system
WAS an American. His name was Bryan.
He was in the Post Office Department at
Washington, and, if am informed cor
rectly, lost his position there through n
change in the administration. He con-
cluded to come to Japan. He offered
the government his services in the or
ganizat on of its postal system. They
accepted, and after much trouble he
succeeded in 1886. The japanese Post
Office has so far carried $1,000, 900 let
ters, more than 100000 postal cards
ana over 100000 newspapers. Its
revenue during this time was nearly
equal to its expenses, and there are now
about five thousand post offices in the
Empire of Japan. At the bureau OF
engraving and printing l saw Japanese
men dressed in European clothes who
were engraving the postage stamps
which are used throughout the empire,
and in another department OF the same
building l saw hundred japanese girls
in white night gowns who were bundllng
up Japanese postal cards for distribution

] saw school books being print ed in
English for the use of the scholars Of
the high schools, and there are those
who believe the English language will
be the Japanese language of the far
future.
Japan has now over 400 miles of rail
way, and 400 more miles are being con-
structel. All of the important cities
and towns are connected with each
other by lines of telegraph, and in 1885
more than 3,500,000 dispatches were
sent. The telegraph system here is
under the control of the Government
and receipts very nearly meet its expen-
ditures.
The telegraphing is done in Japanese
and an extra charge is made when tele-
grams are sent in foreign language.
