An AcrOuaut's Intrepid Feat.

The aeronaut, Captain Dworniki, has
succeeded at last in his descent with a
parachute from his balloon at Naples.
In ten minutes the balloon, with Dworn-
Xxi depending from it seated on a
trapeze, had reached a height of 5000
feet. The parachute, when set free was
dashed about by the wind so violently
that often the captains body touched
its edge, swinging rapidly from side to
side so that the spectators screamed
with horror. However, in five minutes
the descent was accomplished, the aero
naut safely touching ground in the
street Of Merzelina, neal the Lione
fountain.
The people surrounded the captain,
some of them even embracing him, and
when he took refuge in a carriage he
was accompanied in triumph by the
crowd. The balloon was carried over
the Vomero, where it fell into the woods
of the Duke of Salvi, who for some time
refused TO give it up.-London News.

Snakeskin NecktieS.

A west side dealer in rainbow hued
novelties for the adOrnment of the mas
culine neck has recently developed e
new thing in that line which may be-
come very popular. This new scarf is
made from the dried skin of the rattle
snake and makes a very handsome tie,
although the effect is rather startling,
as the rattles and buttons are utilized
for a scarfpin.
The dealer says that he intends tc
send samples to the leading society men,
and has no doubt that he can find a
market for all the snakeskins that he
can get.-New York Herald.

wheel~r's Order to shoot Mr.. Bslknap.
There was a strange incident in the
room of the house committee on military
affairs the other day, when General
Wheeler, of Alabama, brought ont an
old order book to show to Mr.. Belknap,
Of Michigan, in which was the copy OF
the standing order that one Charles Bel
KNAPP, Of the Twenty-frst Michigan in
fantry, be shot if captured. 1t was the
sequel to a war time story. Mr.. Bel
KNAPP enlisted at sixteen. He doesn't
look thirty now, with his straight figure,
bright eyes and military brown mus
tache, but in wal time he was as dash
ing a daredevil as ever lived. One
night, just for the fun of it, he mounted
| his horse and rode boldly through the
Confederate lines to the headquarters of
General Wheeler, who was commander
Of the western Confederate cavalry.
The tent was empty.
Young Belknap threw his lines to an
orderly, strobe boldly in and deliberate
ly pocketed all the dispatches and pa
pers on the table. His very audaclty
saved him, and not a man in all the Con-
federate camp even thought to question
him. Back he rode with the dispatches,
to unlimited applause and a captains
commission at seventeen. Then it was
that General Wheeler turned green and
blue and white and red for rage, and
for six months his soldiers had orders to
shoot Belknap if ever he came within
range again. Wheeler and Belknap are
the best of friends, they serve on the
same committee and delight in growing
reminiscent of war times together.-St.
Paul Globe.
