The Coming Man.

A pair of chubby legs
Encased IN scarlet hose;
A pair of little chubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes
little kilt, a little coat
Cut as a mother can
And lol before us stands in state
The futures coming man.
His eyes, perchance, will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
Perchance the human heart and soul
VIII open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
VIII be nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some big fellows kite.
Those hands-those busy little hands
So sticky, small and brown;
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down.
Hidden within their clasp,
Though now tits but a taffy stick
In sturdy hold they grasp.
All, blessings ON those little hands,
Whose work is yet undone!
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan!
Whateer the future holds in store,
God Hess the coming man!

All the world laughs, though the ma
tions have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the European
or American. 1t is oftener litter than
q genuine outburst of merrilnent. There
is little character or force in it. AS for
the Arabian laugh, we hear little of its
hilarious ring through the ages of mirth
il the Old World. The Arab is general
w a stolid fellow who must either see
good reasons for a laugh, or be surprised
i,to it. In Persia man who laughs is
considered effeminate, but free license is
given to female merriment.
An old fellow whose daughter had
failed to secure a position as teacher, in
consequence of not passing an examina-
ton said: "They asked her lots of things
she didn't know. Look at the history
questions They asked her about things
that happened before she was born
How was she going to know about them?
Why, they asked her about old George
Washington and other men she never
knew! That was a pretty sort of exami-
nation"

COLLAPSE OF A BALLOON.

Several People Fail with It Over Five
Hundred Feet
LONDON. June "a frightful accident
occurred to>day at the Crystal Palace.
A piece being given at the Palace lately
is called 1.-The Tragic Episode" but to-
day the audience witnessed a real and
terrible tragedy. Capt. Dale. the wells
known 8ronaut was to give balloon
ascension.
About 10000 persons, mostly women
and children, had gathe, ed to watch the
ascension. Dale took aboard the ama>
teur Bronauts and his sou. aged fourteen
years. When released the balloon shot
up about 500 feet. Then reddish cloud
burst from the top of the balloon, a
heavy report was heard, the car swayed,
man could be seen reaching among the
ropes, and the next instant the balloon
collapsed. The car dropped like lead,
with the ropes and torn material tanning
the air above it.
About 100 feet from the ground, Capt.
Dale, who was clinging to rope, was
thrown loose by a sudden lurch and he
fell, dead and mutilated, among the
spectators. The car struck on the stone
wall round an artificial lake, rebounded
against an iron railing, and fell to the
ground in fragments The son of Capt.
Dale was hanging to the side of the car
when it struck the stones. He was
thrown fifty feet The other occupants
of the car held on to the last. All of
them were in the car when it struck and
were strewn with the wreckage after the
collision with the railing. All had sus
tanned numerous fractures, but it is pos
sible that they will recover.
Young Dale had hardly whole bone
in his body. He has not recovered con
seriousness and the physicians say that
he will die within few hours One
spectator was caught ia the shoulder by
the graphing anchor. He was thrown
to the ground. and the anchor tore
through his face. Several other specta
tors were injured by the anchor, but not
severely.
The panic in the crowd during the fall
was appalling. Hundreds started to run
trampling women and children Others
fell to the ground and covered their
faces. When the car struck the shrieks
of the occupants and spectators were
heard for half mile. Scores of women
tainted.
After the accident they were laid on
the piles of freshly>cut grass and were
brought to consciousness by friends and
relatives. For half an hour the green
looked like great open-air hospital;
then most of the sickened women were
helped away or were taken home in car.
riages. Most of those who were neither
ill nor injured left the grounds a few
minutes after the accident.

Effect of Cold and Heat on Food,

The necessity of cooking food to de-
velop or create a palatable taste is i'm
portant. The flesh of fowl is soft enough
to masticate,, but only person on the
verge of starvation could eat it before
heat has changed its taste, and thus
made it one of the most savory and ac.l
ceptable of meats. - @-'.'-' =,
Coffee also we'll illustrates this point.
When coffee is green, that atsunbrowned,
it is acrid in taste, very tough, even
horny in consistency, and decoctiou
made from it is altogether unpleasant.
But when, for certain time, it is sub
jected to degree of heat it loses its
toughness,p becomes brittle, changes
color and there is developed in it Almost
agreeable flavor. This favoring prop
erty is an actual product OF the heat
which causes chemical changes in an est
sential oil contained in the beau. Heat
not only develops but creates hayors,
changing the odor and taste as well as
the digestibility of foods. =.
Some foods are better for being cold.
Sweet dishes as rule are improved by
low temperature. The flavor of butter is
very different and very muc1 finer when
cold than when warm; it is absolutely,
necessary to keep it cool in order to pre-
serve the favor.-Atlanta Constitution.

Monstrous Eorc, of Tornadoss.

Much has been said about electricity
as factor for destructiveness in the
various gyrating storm clouds known as
cyclones, drechoes aud tornadoes. In
all of this voluminous mass of so-called
scientific opinions and deductions one
fact seems to have been entirely over
looked, viz: The almost resistless force
of wind when moving with high velocity.
When the velocity is but, fifty miles an
hour the pressure of air in motion is
equal to twelve pounds to the square
foot, and when this velocity rises to 100
miles per hour its force rises to the
equivalent Of 49.2 pounds. to the square
foot, the augmentation of force being
always proportional to the square of the
velocity. 1t needs no further elabora-
ton or amplitication Of this statement
to convey to the intelligent reader an.
idea of the monstrous mechanical force
which such rapid travelling mass ot
air must have-a power great enough to
tear down any structure that has yet,
been built by man, or to uproot whole,

on the surface of the earth. st. Louis

A Curious River.

One of the curiosities of Mexico is the
Sonora River. 1t rises in the northeastern
part of the State of Sonora and flows
southwest until it sinks in about forty
miles Of the Gulf. Where it passes
Hernosillo the quantity OF water 1t
carries is IMMENSE. but in the short
distance. of twenty miles there is not the
least vestige of water, and. burning
waste of sand extends from there to the
coast. n
Whether this water merely sinks into
the sandy soil aud is evaporated by the
great heat, or has some subterranean
outlet by which it reaches the sea, has
never been determined; and, as far as
am able to tind out, no one capable Of
judging such matters has ever visited
the country.-,-St. Louis Republic.
