up in a Balloon.

The sensation aman experiences when
making an ascent in balloon is very pc
culiar, says an aeronaut in the st. Louis
Gl0be- Democrat The earth appears to be
falling away, especially from just where
the ascent was made. A few days ago |
made an ascent from st. Charles and was
soon able to see st. Louis and a score o.
other smaller cities. The smoke from
the manufactures looked very odd, but
the principal buildings in st. Louis were
rem lrkably distinct even when l had
gone up 1000 feet and over. OF course
at Il at altitude it is impossible to detece
NOV, ments on the earth's surface with
the naked eye, but with the aid of tele-
scope this can be done The fastest train
seems to be going at snail's pace, and
running horse seems to make very poor
progress. Rivers look like little streaks
of silver when the balloon is very high
mp. The steady fall in the temperature
is not unpleasant, and there is no feeling
ut giddiness after a little practice

of your policy. A festival destined

of your policy. A festival destined
chiefly for you and which you unhappily

In Bismarck's study there is a small
card table bearing a brass plate, on
which is an English inscription to the
effect that on the table the preliminary
peace between Germany and France was
signed at Versailles in 1871. When
opened there appears the central round
of green cloth with the very candle spots
that were there when Bismarck and
Favre put their names under the treaty.
Bismarck often laughingly explains how
he became possessed of this curiosity. 1t
required some diplomacy even on the
part of the great diplomat. The land
lady of the house who owned the table
obstinately refused TO part with it for
any consideration of money, Sc as a last
resort Bismarck called in cabinet
maker and ordered him to make another
tablesexactly similar. When the twins
were put side by side the landlady,
womanlike, decided in favor of the new
and shiny table, and Bismarck triumph
antly carried off the old one. If the
chancellor's study and bedroom is plain
to severity the guest rooms, situated on
the first floor, are distinguished by com
fort, ease and luxury 1t is a happy
home, as those who have been enter
tanned there will testify. In it its owner
forgets, so far as he can, all strife. The
torch of hate is put out. There is no
thought of war, but instead there is
feasting and music, the prattle of
children's voices and an air of quiet and
peace that bodies well for Germany.

Your Pallets Must Law.

Two or three weeks Of judicious manage
ment now to assist the pullets in forming
their first crop of eggs, so to speak, will make
vast difference in the product of eggs dur
ing the next four months. A few dollars
properly spent on the flock now, will return
to you many fold increase In eggs. Mr.. q.
r. Stuart of Lancaster, N. H. says: II had
twelve fine Plymouth Rock pullets The
early hatched ones commenced laying in the
fall; when cold weather came on they
stopped laying, while the rest had not begun
to lay. 1 then commenced using Sheridans
Powder, advertised to make hens lay. In
ten days one pullet commenced to lay, in
fourteen days three more began, and In just
one month from the time began using the
Sheridan's Powder, the twelve were laying"

A Wonderful Dinner.

One of the most marvellous dinners OF
modern times was served in Antwerp a
few days ago to a company of men who
90 about the world buying up animals for
menageries. There had been a sale of
the surplus stock of the famous Antwerp
geological gardens during the day, and
buyers from all parts of the world were
there. In the evening the Anvers Zoolog-
ical Association gave banquet to the
most prominent persons present. The
menu was indeed curious one. Dainty
omelets were made from ostrich eggs.
Rare fish from waters in the tropics were
brought thousands of miles for this sDe
cial occasion. The guests were serveG
with Indian antelope tillet; with ham cut
from the Russian bear; with Lady Am
herst pheasants; with a delicious young
tapir, roasted to a crisp; with tongue of
the South American bison, served with
spinach; with lima outlets and broad
beans. The King of Holland sent fine
boar from his forest, which was served in
the fashion of an OK at good old Ameri-
can barbecue. This altogether remarka-
able repast covered twenty courses, and
it took six hours to serve it.

Pretty Tall.

The highest structure of masonry in
the world is said to be the National Mu-
scum recently completed at Turin, in
Italy. 1t was originally designed for a
synagogue, but it proved ill adapted to
that purpose, and was sold to the city.
1t was then converted into museum as
a monument to the memory of Victor
Emanuel. On top of the iome rises a
spire nearly as high as the whole of the
rest of the building. The gilt statue on
the top of this spire stands 53S feet from
the ground.
