THE DESCENT OF PEYNAUD.


to the opening of the present season he had
been jumping In Brazil, being summoned
therefrom by brother who is in Baltimore
trying to get some property claimed by the
family as an inheritance from deceased
uncle.
The tower from which Peynaud jumps Is
about $50 feet high, surmounted by small
platform. From the platform project two
rails, and it is from between these that he
launches himself daily into space. BE turns
before he reaches the bottom and falls on his
shoulders and back into tightly drawn net,
from which he rebounds about fifteen feet,
and upon coming down the second time Is as
sisted TO the ground by his manager. Then
he takes big drink and declares himself in
prime condition. The relative size of the man
and the tower is graphically shown in the

CURIOUS QUESTIONS.

CURIOUS QUEbTIOhS.
All sorts of requests are received at the
bureau, and considering their variety it is re-
markable how many are answered satisfac-
torily Everybody in the department, from
the highest to the lowest, is at some time or
other laid under contribution, as every one
has some knowledge Of something which is
denied to his neighbor. A great deal is col
lected in this way, and considerable time is
spent in looking up and verifying dates, fig
ures, etc., for no editor wishes to refuse. The
subscriber does not like it and the rival pa
pers do.
1t is the simple questions which are the
"stickers" Those which seem hard can be
answered from books. Ii is 50 much easier
to tell what will fatten pigs than it is to ex-
plain why.
You see there is u constant change of sub
ject, and sometimes also of scene, for the ed
itor in charge is not always on hand, and the
folders then alter the programme according

the worse for wear.
We are treated TO little diversion, a game

a good substitute-or band of strolling mu-
sicians have halted in the neighborhood.
The tables are abandoned and the girls
join in dance, all the sweeter from the ever
present fear of ''the boss popping in"
Or perhaps all break out into a subdued
song, generally political during campaign,
for all are violent partis.ns, and, with hard
ly an exception, bitterly opposed to whatever
party or measures their paper represents.

1t is simply their way OF showing the indie

Political Note.

Our esteemed contemporary. Cabman
Jones, informs rs that he cannot support our
nominee, the mosquito, for the dignifed Of
flee of national bird He says the mosquito
does not soar high enough. Indeed, hesays
that he has lived in countries where mosqui-
toes filed the air chock fun down near the
earth, yet on going up fifteen feet above the
ground he always escaped them. The Post
is not an organ. 1t means to be fair TO all
parties, and it must say that Cabman Jones,
if his testimony be accurate, has presented
the only real argument we have heard against
the mosquito Surely this proud nation will
not accept for its bird one that never flies
higher than fifteen feet from the earth. How
ever, before we forsake the mosquito we,
mean to obtain, If possible, the evidence Of
somebody who has slept in a second or third
story room without bars on the window
