the place was utilized with flaming
posters of the performance which
was to take place that night a
prominent feature of the bills was
the chariot race scene in Ben Hur.
At the hotel encountered friend
of mine who is with the show. ! no

his face. and after hearty greeting
asked him how business loomed up.
Bad, awful bad, he replied in
tones which plainly told of his dis

landed the authorities here sezed
nearly all our horses on the pretelse

and have no horses. 1t will break us
up, sure.

tent hands for horses Well, ! went
to the circus that night just to rec
how they got along. Imagine my
surprise when the ringmaster raine
out and announced the great chariot
race. 1t is an undisputed fact, said
he, that the chariot races of old
were run with men and not horses
The management has secured the
services of eight of the fieetest run

have the pleasure of witnessing
chariot race as they were run in olden
times
THE doors opened and Ben Hur
and his antagonist dashed into the
ring drawn by eight tent hands, who
couldn't run 100 yards in 100 seconds.
It was the funniest thing ever saw.
The audience appreciated it aud
laughed until they were hoarse In
stead of running their business it
proved a perfect bonanza. People
hocfed to the performances to see
the strange sight The weeks stand
was heightened out to three weeks
and the show just coined money
My friend presented me with this

to try the thing everywhere they

Penelope Consenteth to Teach Glass in
Sunday school.
II am delighted to see you looking SO
we'll, said the Rev. DR.. Whoknows TO
Pen one afternoon not long ago.
1T is very kind Of You to say so" re-
piled Pen, 'but then you know ! always
look rather we'll"
'True-most true. replied the doctor.
'And how is Mrs. Wholnows?
''Well-quite we'll"
''1'm awfully sorry mamma is not in,
continued Pen, with an undercurrent OF
sincerity that was almost unusual.
'sYes-yes-of course" replied the
doctor, unwilling to comprehend her
1T may be as well though. She is prob
ably interested in some Christian duty
this afternoon. BY the way, Penelope,
came around this afternoon to ASK you
10 take little more interest in church
work yourself"
"Did you? Why there is nothing in
the world that interests me more. You
should know that, although do not put
myself en- evidence as much as most Of
the girls in the church do
'.True--quite true. But ! want you
to encourage them by your example-to
lead the way. as 1t were. For instance,
Iwould feel greatly pleased if you would
take a class in Sunday school"
"Oh, doctor, fear that would be more
appropriate as scholar than as a teach
er"
"Not at all--not at all, my dear Pencil
ope. You are well fitted for the work.
And then you have, | may say, the facul-
ty of handling young people down to a
very fine point. IL have heard my
wife and daughters, er--well, speak Of it
a number of times"
'All right, doctor; if they really wart
me to interfere little more in their
church work am sure nothing would
suit me better. | suppose | may choose
my class.
"Of course, of course, my dear Pc
nelope."
"WeIl, then, I'll take the young mems
Rible class, said Penelope.
"But you know my daughter, my eld-
est daughter, has that"
''Your promise, doctor--remembe
your promise that could have the class
chose"
And the good doctor, as he wiped his
spectacles few moments later before
descending the steps Of the Peachblow
mansion, was compelled to remark to
himself, BLESS me, that girl got the
better of even me, and / came around to
show them all what | could do with
her Thomas Winthrop Hall in Life.

Palestrina was a revolutlonist in

as late as 1905, when, as that musical

and the musicians in the leading Ger
man orchestra dashed the music from
the racks. declaring it was crazy and

To make voyage aclses the ocean 10
Europe in balloon Is an enterprise pro
iected by Professor Samuel A. King the
aeronsut. and several financial hackers
to take place from Philadelphia some
time during next summer. The project
is not yet definitely assured. although
Professor King has been promised the
funds necessary for complete prepare
ton for the transatlantic journey. The
expense that would be attached to such
an enterprise is estimated TO be about
500. 900 or $25 COO.
Should Professor King accomplish the
voyage across the ocean in balloon il
would be the first feat Of the kind in
history There have been several at
tempts made to cross the Atlantic
through the air. but they resulted in
signal failures. Professor Wise tried ii
about forty years ago. but he was not
able to get start. subsequently Pro
fessor Lowe also made an attempt, the
starting point being at Point Breeze, but
the balloon was not properly made
Professor Donaldson did not have much
better success in his effort many years
ago.
1t is Professor Kings opinion that the
balloon necessary to make transatlan
tic voyage should be a hydrogen one,
and its capacity should be from 100000
to 500, 900 cubic feet. lie believes that
trip through high altitude. say 81
miles high. as has been suggested by
some aeronauts. is not advisable. His
idea is that the balloon should carry a
drag rope 900 or 1000 feet long, with
the end trailing in the water In this
way the balloon could strike current
of air and travel with it across the ocean.
There would be two cars attached to
the balloon The upper one would carry
the passengers and the food. The lower
one would be used as a cuisine, and
could be descended into by means of Il
rope ladder The idea is to have the
cuisine removed from the upper car
about the space of twenty feet, so that
there would be no danger from the GOAL

The deleterious influence of fogs
may be estimated from some results
obtained srom examination and anal

speaks of the leaves as being covered
with a substance like brown paint

analysis this shows over 81 per cent.
of carbon and hydrocarbon, with Al
per cent. of metallic iron, magnetic

Any one at all acquainted with the
physiology of plants and animals can
apprehend in a moment how such a
mixture must affect both the lungs

What She Should Do.

BERTHE had been forbidden under severe
penalties to play in the rain barrel The
other day his mamma and grandmother
caught him splashing away in the barrel
in high glee. His mamma's face hard
ened, but the grandmother kind heart
led her to make plea for mercy for the
offender.
BERTHE heard the plea, and when his
mamma asked him sternly what she
should do to a little boy who didn't

promptly;

The Neglige Shirt and the Sash to Go.
The neglige shirt of last summer. nc
matter how costly, will not be brought
forth to adorn his manly bosom during
the coming season.
But his interest will rather center in
the percale shirt in quiet effects, with
white collars and cuffs stitched on.
The bosom will have a narrow single
stitched edge, likewise the collars and
cuffs. and will close with three large
mother of pearl buttons sewed on.
In neck dressing, both for these and
for white plain bosom shirts the four in

receive most favoTs in his eyes.
Altogether. furnishings in the way OF
