che larger one, and instead Of being filled
with gas it is inflated with air. The I'D.
vantage gained by this is that the pres.
hydrogen Of the larger vessel pressed all
the time against its outer envelope, thus
distending the covering to- its utmost limit
and keeping the ship at its largest dimen-
sions. This is necessary in order to give
the maximum amount Of displacement,
and it is displacement thai, makes buoy
sncy and capacity in an air-ship just as it
Is in the ships which navigate the other
fluid element, water.
1t must be remembered that the buoyant
force of III ail-ship changes greatly during
the Of Il day, especially if the tenn
perature shift up and down, as it is very
likely to do in the erratic climate of Chi
cago. Every rise of one degree of TEN.

have a contrary effect in like ratio. When

The main nnchoring rope is about two
inches thick, of the best MANILA, and it
runs from the holding ring below the bal
loon down through the car or basket and
to MINDLESS attached to u large steam
engine in one corner Of the park. There
are alsoa dozen strong cords reaching from
the netting of the ship to the ground, and
the monsteri is thus doubly anchored. 1t is
calculated that in the heaviest storm these
methods of anchoring will hold the ma
chine to its place. Before making an ascent
q large number of bags of sand are taken
aboard, each bag weighing n hundred
pounds or more. The advantage of sand
as a ballast is that it can be thrown out in
small or large Quantities, and that there
is no danger of its hurting any one ON the
earth below. Ballast is taken along as a
precautionary measure, for if anything
should give way and it be necessary to
make a forced flight across country in a
free balloon it would be desirable to have
in land some means of rising above the
lake, the forests or other uncomfortable
landing places. a..
Aeronaut Allier gives the orders to his
men to clear away the anchoring cords.

EASY PAYMENT OF RENT.

In 1772 Baron Henry William
Stiefel, the founder of Mannheim,
donated the ground to the Lutheran
congregation upon which Zion
church in Mannheim, Pa, now stands.
The baron exacted for his land give
shillings in cash and the annual
rental of one red rose in June, when
the same shall be lawfully demand
ed" That clause is in the deed of
transfer, and for 100 years the red
rose had been paid by the congrega-
ton to some descendant of the
baron. This afternoon commemora-
tive services were held in the church.
Mrs. Elizabeth Boyer of Harris
burg, who is the great.granddaugh-
ter of Baron Stiefel, was present
In vase at the altar was huge

There is not village in the United
States where the Wells & Richardson
Company is not known.
And the demand for their lactated food
has been so widespread that it has led
them to establish branches in foreign
countries. A large and prosperous bust
ness is done by their branch house at
Montreal.
From their London branch lactated
food is sent to all parts Of the world, a
large trade being done in Southern Africa
and in India, and an Australian branch
is located at Sidney, n. S. W.
From their central Offices in Burling-
ton, VT, they send their pure food al
most everywhere that the sun shines, to
gladden. the hearts of those who are
blessed with children. 1t was Long
fellow who said
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said
For We are living poems,
And a visit to the big establishment in
Burlington where, as the hot weather
approaches and infant troubles multiply,
every effort is made to supply the in
creased demand for lactated food, gives
one the impression that the employers
and employed are in full sympathy with
the parents who are their customers.
The working force of the company num-
bers 200 men and girls, saying nothing
of nearly 100 others in outside employ
ments whose services are constantly re-
CURED. And there is a singular air OF
contentedness about them. The friend
lest relations exist between the company
and the employees. They have their Sat-
urday halfholidays; the buildings are
models of arrangement, neat, light and
airy, and as convenient as can be made,
and no one seems to feel that he is doing
any drudgery. 1t is a place where will
ing hands find plenty to do.
1t was no longer ago than 1885 that
the company first became interested in
the manufacture of sugar of milk, which
is the basis of the infants natural food.
The company showed its enterprise in
locating its cooperating establishment
for the making of this sugar in Illinois,
where a sufficient supply Of pure milk
could be best found. Preceding the year
1885 sugar of milk had been made ex-
cusively in Europe, and although many
attempts had been made in this coun-
try to manufacture it from the whey OF
our cheese factories, every attempt had
met with disastrous failure, and much
money had been lost. Undeterred by
other failures, however, it was de.
termined, with the assistance of Prof
Sabin of the University of Vermont, to
enter upon the trial of a new process
This proved very successful, and for sew
eral years large quantities of this article
have been manufactured.
Under the advice of some of the best
medical authorities in the country, thu
firm embarked in the manufacture of {
food for infants and invalids, of which
this pure American milk sugar should b.
the basis; and again a professor in Yer
mont's famous university became inter
ested, and has from first to last hac
direct supervision of the food.
This is called lactated food and has be
come invaluable for the nutrition o
infants and invalids.

world the Fairbanks scales, in all
their multiplied varieties. The hrm
was then "E. & T. Fairbanks;' al
forwards, younger brother, Joseph
P. Fairbanks, young lawyer who
had studied with his uncle, Judge
Paddock, and had opened an office
between the St. Johnsbury House
and where the Athenaum now
stands, became a partner, and the
title of the firm became E. q /.
Fairbanks & Co. need not speak
of these men; they were then, as their
descendants still are, noted for
energy and devotion to everything
good and progressive.
The brothers Clark, Deacons
John and Luther, the one an officer
in small Baptist chu oh in Pas
sumpsic, and the other an office
holder in the North Congregational
church on the Plain, were both men
of note. John lived and died in the
house now occupied by his son, B.
Clark; Luther lived in the next
dwelling-house to the south, with the
"Clark's & Bishop store" between.
They both owned lands west OF the
Main street and in the meadow on
the East; and depended more upon
the product of their farms than up
on the income of the store. Mr..
Bishop, Thomas, / think was his
first name, | well remember as my
first Sunday school teacher. He
was in delicate health and went to,
what seemed to us another world,
viz: Macon, Ga. He returned
confirmed consumptive and soon
died. A mau much beloved. Ephraim
Tewett was clerk in the store, a lad
some sixteen years of age. He
showed me little kindness which |
have always kept so fresh in my
memory, though it was done full
sixty.fve years ago. l had bought
a 6sh-hook at the store. He asked
me if l knew how to put it on the
line, so that it would not frighten
the fish. | said, "No." He then
took my line, and deftly, and with
much pains, fastened it upon the line,
and said, Now my boy, guess you
will catch a fish" That little act
to me, stranger boy, has lived in
my memory all these years. How
small deed may indicate and index
a noble principle, and carry its per-
fume through the ages.
Some of the old Puritan practices
still fingered down to those times.
One was the observance of Saturday
evening as part of the Sabbath,
instead of Sunday evening. The
standing Order" as it was then
called, i. e., the Congregational
churches, still maintained the prac-
tice, while the Baptists, who inherited
much of the iconoclastic spirit Of
Roger Williams, discarded it. Now
the two deacons Clark, the one a
Baptist and the other Congrega-
zionist, with an eye to profit, so it
was said by the profane ones-for
they were not all saints in those
days, even in St. Johnsbury-kept
open store, the one on Saturday and
the other on Sunday evening. But |
take pleasure in bearing testimony
against this imputation cast upon
the firm, even though it saved the
Christian integrity of each indi
vidual deacon. No light, am sure
ever glimmered through the win
dows of that store, of Sunday
night. And this was then the only
store in town, S. GRAVES.

competent to ell the position; do
not dismiss a teacher until you

Tales told out of school are usu-
