BY THE BALLOON ROUTE.
How SwIndling Aeronaut snapped His
Fingers at His Creditors.

How "a SwIndIing Aeronaut snapped His
Fingers at His Creditors.
Some time ago Adolph Viewer be-
gan advertising himself in Vienna as
Senior Jabw, 1.-THE great South Ameri-
can aronaut" He put notices in all
the dailies and on all the bill-boards
that on June he would ascend to
some fabulous height in a balloon
and drop back to earth under para
chute. About a week before The date
of the proposed ascension Senior Jabw.
alias Viewer, began to live extraordi-
narily high, He bought great quanti-
ties of jewelry, laces and silks for his
wife, aud wines and cigars galore for
himself. He ate at the best hotels and
ordered clothes of the most fashion
able tailors. He paid for nothing.
however. He told the jeweler an the
tailor and the dress-maker ana the
liquor dealer that he would settle ac-
counts with them Immediately after
the balloon ascension, from which he
expected to realize much money. With
the credulity characteristic Of Cont
mental German tradesmen, they be-
lieved him. They sold him all he
wanted on credit and tried to sell him
more.
On June Senior Jabw invited the
city officials of Vienna to observe his
final rehearsal before the exhibition.
In the presence of the mayor and the
city council lie and Sonora Jabw, alias
Frau Viewer, and the parachute, as
cended in balloon, as high as a hun
dred-fOot rope, made fast 10 tree and
the balloon car, would allow. After
bobbing aboat over the official heads
of Vienna for couple Of minutes
Senior Jabw cut the rope that held him
TO Austrian soil. and blew vay. That
is the last that Vienna ana its city
council and its tradesmen have seen Of
Senior Jabw.
Warrants were sworn out by his
creditors for his arrest on the after
noon Of his departure. Telegraphic
instructions to detain him were sent
out by the Viennese police to the po-
lice of all other Austrian cities The
chief of the detectives in ST. Peelten
replied that the balloon had already
passed the city. From Linz came
similar report. Dispatches from north
eastern towns announced eventually
that the fugitive balloon was over the
Bavarian boundary, where Austrian
policemen and Austrian warrants were
powerless.
The bills OF the crcdulous Vienncse
tradcsmen against Jabw-Wever were a
dead loss TO their holders. The @ro-
naut and his wife had Struggled out of
Vienna all their belongings several
days before their fight. The officers,
who went to their apartments to attach
the articles they had never paid for,
found there only bare floors and bare
walls. N. y. sun.

THE TIME TO SELL.
A Question Which Puzzles Farmers from
one Years End to the Other.

A Question Which Puzzles Farmers from
one Years End to the Other.
As the farm crops come in ready for
harvest the farmer is confronted with
the question as to when will be the
best time to sell Many good farmers
consider that when the product is first
ready for market it is not good time
to sell for tine reason that there is
large class who must sell, and these
overstocl7 the market so that prices
are almost certain TO be low. With
some classes Of products this will do
much better than with others, while
with all there must be considerable
risk.
To hold crops or stock for rise in
prices makes the farmer more or less
of a Spectator. and this is something
that under ordinary circumstances the
farmer viii find it advisable to avoid.
Stock fully ready for market should
be sold. 1t is best, of course, to keep
rs well posted as possible on the mar
ket and feed so as to fatten and sell to
realize the best prices. But 4 keep
the stock after it is fully ready is, in a
majority of cases, to add to the ex-
pouse of feeding without a correspond
ing gain, and a very short time in
feeding the stock under these condi-
tions viii make up for any ordinary
rise in price. So that, with livestock,
at least, the best time to sell is when
ever they are fully ready.
Wheat, oats, corn. or grain Of any
kind. a well as hay, lose more or less
in handling. and in addition to this the
expense of handling must be consid-
cred Every time product is handled
there Is some waste and an additional
expense, which. if a higher price is not
Obtained. will add to the cost and de-
crease the profits. So that in consid-
ering whether to sell or store away for
a better price. the expense and loss in
handling, the risk OF failure. the loss
by drying. and the risk of damaging
in various ways must be taken into &C
count
II the indications Of the supply and
demand, as well as the disposition OF
the spectators, are such that the
prospect is good for rise. it, OF course,
may be advisable 10 store 'lnd hold.
but il must always be onsiiered that
before any profits made in holding the
increased expense must be first added.
No general ruio can be given; there
are so many different conditions that
may arise so that what may be the
best and will prove the most profitable
with one viii not answer for another.
It IS hardly safe for the farmer who is
in debt and paying interest to hold for
a better price. With interest adding
Il viii be an exceptional case where
the rise in value viii be sufficient to
make this up with the other losses
that are unavoidable. Spectators
control the Market to a greater or less
extent. aud It is uncertajn what the
future may be. and uie.ass the eondi-
tons are very favorable 70 a rise the
better plan Is t. sell r.roducts when
ever they are fully ready. st. Louis

CARE OF HOUSE-PLANTS.

Flowers Not Much Trouble when Com
pared with the Pleasure They Give.
In order 10 succeed with house
plants. care must be taken TO keep the
red spider, aphis and white earth
worms away, or you will have no
blooms For the first, spray literally
with water Set the plant in large
pan or tub and wash thoroughly all
the leaves. For the second, use insect
powder with a small bellows, or sui

l always take slips of geraniums,
and all plants wanted for winter
blooming the next year in February or
March start them in soil kept in the
cellar for that purpose during the win
ter, using a small box three inches
higher at the back than in front and
covered with a pane of glass. When
well rooted. / transfer them to small
pots. A fve-inch pot IS plenty large
enough for geraniums to bloom in.
Keep the buds pinched off all summer,
and also pinch out the tops to make
them bushy.
