A Saturallst's Flcas.

A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in his branch OF science, and
absent-minded to a degree which keeps
his family on the alert, recently celc-
brated his silver wedding. Many guests
We're invited for the occasion, and the
house was made ready for the reception
of the company.
Just as the first guest arrived one Of
the daughters was sent to summon the
father, who had not come from his
study. Care had been taken that he
should be reminded to dress in time, so
he was all ready, and at the oummons
of the daughter he came to the parlor.
When they entered the room the
daughter noticed that her father carried
in his hand small wooden box, and as
he shook hands with the nearest guest
she saw him drop it. The cover rolled
of, but she gave sigh of relief when
she saw that the box was apparently
empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered cry
of dismay, and instantly went down on
his hands and knees in vain attempt
to gather up something.
Have you spilled anything, father q
she asked.
Spilled anything he echoed, in
evident indignation over her calm tone
II have lost fifty fees that l have just
received from Egypt
The effect of this intelligence on tho
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon the
company before the evening was over,
and the only thing that the naturalist
said to his friends in answer to their
congratulations upon his happy mar
ried life, so his daughter declared af-
ter all was over, was to ask that if
they carried away any of his Egyptian
fees they would return the insects tO
him

in pastoral sort of black broadcloth

such as are worn by "colonels and ma

Next to him in the car sat two young
men, who were telling stories about
personal experiences on the road.
One Of them related with much gusto
an encounter which he had recently
had with II desperate Western man, the
weapons being cards. The game was

I noticed that the old man listened
with great attention to the story, and at
its conclusion he exclaimed with much
candid astonishment "You called

THE FIRST BALLoONIST.
The story OF His Ascent-It Was Made
In 1TS3.

The story OF His Ascent-It Was Made
In 1Ts3.
The first aeronaut who fell victim to
his desire Of exploring the upper air
was Pilatre de Roster, who, a few
months after the balloon had been in
vented, declared his purpose Of ascend
ing in one and allowing it to take him
whittier it would. The French King,
however, frowned upon the project and
sent Pilatre word that the experiment
should be made by sending up two con-
demned criminals. But Pilatre indig-
nantly refused this offer. What r.
said he, shall vile criminals have the
glory of being the first to navigate tho
fields Of air |? Never, while Pilatre do
Rozier draws breath T.
He agitated this subject until the en-.
tire court became interested in his IA
vor, and then at last the king yielded,
and Pilatre, in November, 1883, made q
perfectly successful ascent. Benjamin
Franklin was witness of the spectacle,
and said, when somc one asked his
opinion of it Il have seen child
born which may one day be man."
Two years after, another aeronaut
crossed the channel from Dover to CAL
ais, and Pilatre, spurred on by jealousy,
declared his purpose of crossing it in
the opposite direction.
His friends endesvored to dissuado
him from the project, believing that the
machine had not been sufficiently per-
fected, but nothing could calm his en-
thusiasm.
In June balloon was ready, but it
may easily be seen that Pilatre was not
very confident of success, since he
pushed back an army officer who would
have stepped into the car with him,
saying gently:
Monsieur, in our present enterprise
we are sure Of nothing. / can not ac-
cept you, if I would have my conscience
at peace.
The balloon rose majestically and
tended at once toward the sea- Pres
emily it turned, but again drifted back
in the direction OF the water. Then it
is probable that Pila.re endeavored to
descend, in order to reach moro ia
vorable current of air, but in opening
the valve, according to one account he
unfortunately made q rent in the bal.
loon itself. Instantly he was dashed to
the grounds distance of several thousand
feet, and was found there, dead and
frightfully mutilated.
He is still one of the heroes of
France, and an inscription to his mem
ory may be read on the spot where ho
made his fatal attempt. Youths Com
panion.

About Airing Beds.

In airing beds the most thorough,
careful housekeeper often errs through
her very thoroughness. She will shake
the sheets, blankets, ETC., and hang
them out of the window and over chairs,
having them all exposed as much as
possible to the direct rays of the sun
and in the strongest breeze and this is
Just what should be done. Then the
pillows will be taken up and shaken
and thumped until they are soft and
fluffy and placed in the very sunniost
spot, and this is all wrong, The sun
will draw the oil from the feathers,
and the pillows will have a rancid, dis
agreeable odor. Expose those to the
air daily, be as thorough as you please
in this, and place the pillow slips il the
sun if you wish, but do not make tho
mistake of giving the pillows, holsters,
cushions or anything containing feath-
ers long sun bath, or you will do
them more harm than good.

When tho Prince Called ON uennyso,

There is one story that will be historic
of call which the Prince Of Wales once
made upon Tonnyson. He had a new
page boy, who knew not the prince, and
who had been warned against admitting
strangers to the house on any pretext.
Ono day the prince walked over from
Osborne to see the poet. He gained the
entrance, which was of itself no easy
task, and knocked at the door. MAS.
GERS not in" he was told. The prince
detecting that this was a promiscuous
answer, which it was the page boys III.
structions to give to all comers, said, d,
"Will you kindly tell him the Prince of
Wales wishes to see him?"
The boy eyed the visitor with an irri-
tatingly knowing look, and replied
"Walker!" which was equivalent to say
ing, 'Do you see anything green in my
eyer This rude remark amused the
prince very much, but the boy would
certainly have slammed the door in his
face if Tennyson himself. who had been
listening to the conversation, had not
put in an appearance and welcomed the
prince to his Freshwater home.-New
York Tribune.

PALos, Aug 3.-This is the four hundredth
anniversary Of the day on which Columbus set
sail from Palos westward on his voyage Of dis
covery and the festivities arranged here for
celebrating the day were carried out with great
success.
The view from the town, however, was OBJ
scured by thick mist which hung over the
river and rendered it impossible to see more
than dim outline Of the bulls Of the vessels
lying at anchor.
At O'Clock, the hour at which Columbus
Maria, constructed in imitation Of the
vessel of that name belonging to the
Columbus expedition. which had been ly-
ing of shore all night. set her sails for
her passage through the lines Of warships an
chored outside of the bar, but owing to the
prevalence of a dead calm a line was run to her
from gunboat and she was towed down stream

warship Legaspi.

Of Larabida, on which buildings the flags Of all
the American states were flying to the bar oc-
cupied about an hour.
Outside the bar were moored the vessels Of
the foreign squadron which had come to take
part in the celebration. These vessels were
formed in lines between which the caraval
passed amid laundering salutes and deafening
cheers.
The mist and the smoke from the guns made
1t impossible to watch the maneuvers Of the
caraval, which followed for some distance the
route taken by Columbus 400 years ago.
At O'Clock the little vessel returned and re-
entered the river.
The town of Huelva is crowded with visitors
and all the buildings, private and public, are
gaily decorated.

the members Of the national commission can do
is to resign. 1 cannot see what else there is left
for them to do. They ought to step down and
out and allow the directors at Chicago to run
the fair. If the government is not to give the

ST.. Louis. No., Aug. 3.-The Burlington to-
day placed the entering wedge for the billing
OF freight bound for st. Louis to this
city instead of East st. Louis. In the
northern part Of the city the Burlington
has maintained for some time the largest
freight shed in the world. 1t now proposes to
make use OF this shed and at the same time
stick a thorn in the side Of several other
roads entering this city from Illinois
and force them to adopt the methods
of billing freight through to its
destination, To do this the Burlington today
gave notice that it will in q few days issue q
through freight tariff to all points on
the % lines in Illinois, instead Of
the old East st. Louis tariff whereby
shippers were forced to pay transfer charges to
this city. sThis tariff win include Chicago,
Peoria, Galesburg. Quincy and many other
points. and will force the Alton. Wabash, Big
-Four, Sante Fc and other roads to adopt new
schedule.
