feet the air, rushing past with tremen-
dous velocity, gives one the impression
Of leaning out OF the car window OF

away in q murmur. and 1t is then that
the balloon seems stationary, the earth
falling away from it. Looking down
from the height, all surfaces appear
level, mountains and valleys are alike,
and the world looks as II spread out and
flattened by q rolling pin. Roads and
rivers resolve themselves into narrow
ribbons; forests, fields and meadows arc
clumps Of green, red and black with
green as the dominant color. At two
miles earth is lost to view, as In fog.
Presently the balloon begins to sail,
driven by an air current. There fs now
no apparent motion. The aeronaut ex.
periences feeling Of oppression; the
air, deprived Of its vital principle, ex.
hausts at each inspiration; ringing
sounds ore heard In the ears and one
can, 30 to speak, hear the stiffness.
The breath comes in quick, successive
gasps that do not satisfy the lungs. 1t
is like going to ones death.
Looking upward, the horizon is
bounded by big black ball-the balloon
dark against the milky opaqueness OF
the atmosphere. The airship is sway
ing and swinging, while tho clouds, float

tints, such as an artist never dreamed
of. The balloon calls on and drops slowly
away from this panorama once more into
the colorless atmosphere.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A BCTTERMILK DINNER.

All sorts of occurrences are specialized
in these days for social purposes, for
dinner giving or reception. But have
heard my grandfather tell of being in
vitcd to dinner given expressly for the
purpose of serving jug of butternilk.
Thirty-fve years before, OF hot sum-
mer day that same jug of buttermilk had
been hung, securely corked, in the we'll
to be kept cool for supper. But before
the supper hour arrived the we'll caved
in. For thirty-ffve years it remained
unopened, overgrown by weeds and
nettles. When at last it was dug out on
another hot summer day, the jug was
found uninjured, with the buttermilk
perfectly preserved, deliciously cold.
Indeed, it seemed improved by its long
keeping, "and was," said my grand
father, "the most delicious beverage

Sheep-Shearings in Early Times.

About 1902, with the advent of Span
ish merinos, probably to aid IN their in
PRODUCTION and as an advertisement,
sheep-shearing festivals were IN much
favor with farmers. Prominent among
these shearing festivals, and continued
for dozen years, was one at "Arling-
ton," opposite Washington, the estate
of George Washington Parke Gusts.
The hospitalities of General Gusts at
these annual gatherings was enjoyed by
large collections CT prominent men.
Georgetown papers of those times gave
programmes and premiums that indicate
the large enterprise felt in sheep-raising,
as part of American agriculture in
which General Gusts had q National
pride.-American Farmer.

SHINDIG ON SHlPBOARD.
Two sailors Create n Disturbance
on the City Front.

There was quite a commotion on
the city front yesterday afternoon,
owing to free fight on the Ameri-
can ship j. G. Potter. Investigation
elected the information that two
sailors, Peter Oleson and Paul Mar
tin, had made too frequent visits to
the hold of midships to little black
square face bottle. They appeared
on the deck of the vessel at o'clock
and when accosted by the mate they
struck at him. The mate gave one
of the men blow straight out from
the shoulder, colliding with one of
the mems left eye, raising a little
shanty thereon. Captain Henry
Meyer called police officer, who
was On the dock, on board to quell
the disturbance, but when the officer
appeared he was dealt blow by one
of the obstreperous tars. Another
officer appearing on the scene Oleson
and Martin were taken into custody.
In the Police Court this morning they
were reprimanded by the Police
Justice and ordered to go back to
the vessel, and to follow the motto,
1'Business before pleasure.

Alb Mis- place an empty tin with that
mark. Mr.. Chillingworth had made
a seizure of four tins of opium bear
ing the same mark, and the man from
whom he took it was related to the
man who had been reported TO have
found $50 tins of opium.
"The letter ruled out by the Judge
formed connecting link between the
empty tin and the other tins. The
letter was necessary TO connect the
three defendants with the discoveries
of opium. Without it there was no
use in proceeding When that letter
was barred from being produced our
case was lost.
"The letter, the tins of both catch
es, the proof by witnesses that the
people had landed in an irregular
way, and lived at a native hut for
some time; that strange schooner
was seen by native fishermen going
out of Maizena, at night, and seen to
approach this same house time after
time, in daytime going over to Ka-
hoolawe, and dropping all sails SO as
to be unnoticed-all these provable
facts formed complete chain that
should have made the committal of
the defendants a certainty"
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Collector
General, had little to add to his dep
uty's statement of the case. He de-
sired to emphasize the absurdity of
the Judges ruling before counsel had
completed his argument or opposing
counsel had chance to reply. He
had already admitted the letters as
evidence and had nothing to do with
the manner in which they had been
obtained. The Judge was only
sitting as a committing magistrate,
and such ruling was beyond his
jurisdiction. 1t was simply out
rageous that the ends of justice
should thus he defeated in prelilni-
nary examination.

A SUIT FOR WAGES.

C. A. p. Gardiner brought a civil
suit for 1920 for wages against
the Risdon Iron Works, a foreign
corporation, for services rendered on
the dredge as second engineer. A.
w. Keecb. superintendent engineer
of the l. l. S. N. Co., gave evidence
tending to show GARDENERS incom-
potency as an engineer. Superin-
tendent L.. G. Young testified to
having offered Gardiner $52, which
was refused. Gardiner had been
dismissed for breaking bolt and for
having slept while ON duty. The
Judge taking everything under con-
sideration awarded the plaintiff $52.
