When shall We Ely.

Hiram S. Maxim reports on our
progress in aerial navigation. He de-
scrlbes what has been done, explains
that his experiments have been much
delayed by his long absence from
England, but says that he has now
got grip on the air many times
greater than has ever been obtained
before. If his large aeroplanes can
be made to lift one-half as much in
proportion to the power consumed as
the small ones did In previous expert
ments, he says he will have sufficient
power not only to make the machine
rise in the air, but to carry a consld-
cradle load besides. He thinks he
has now proved that it is possible to
produce q really powerful and relia-
BILE motor well within the limits OF
weight, and that II he does not sue
coed some one else will, and that at
no distant date. He Is inclined to be-
lleve that naphtha Is the motor that
Is destined TO carry US through the
clouds, nor does this seem a vain hope
IL 1t be true, as he says, that
naphtha motor could be constructed
which would develop 100 horsepower
and not weigh more than 500 pounds.
Mr.. Maxim mentions that he has
been told by Russian that the Gar
has spent 100000 out Of his private
purse on the aeroplane system, but
without any success as yet.

A French paperha published a roll
OF honor OF celebrated dogs which
have distinguished themselves In war.
This is not inappropriate considering
that the dog has been pressed into
military service, For instance, there
was Bob, the mastiif of the Grenadler
guards, which made the Crimean
campaign with that gallant corps;.
and also Whitepaw, "Patte Blanche, u
q brave French ally of Bob, that
made the same campaign with the
One Hundred and Sixteenth of the
line, and was wounded In defending
the flag. Another, Moustache, was
entered on the strength Of his regi-
ment as entitled to grenadler's ra-
lions The barber of his company
had orders to clip and comb him once
a week. This gallant animal re-
ceiveda bayonet thrust at Marengo
and recovered a flag at Austerlitz.
Marshal Lannes had Moustache dec
GRATED with medal attached to his
neck by a red ribbon. Corps dc
Garde, a Norval among dogs, followed
a soldier to Marengo, was wounded at
.Susterlitz and persisted In the retreat
from Russia. The Sixth of the
guard had military mastlff named
Misere, which wore three white
stripes sewn on his black hair. We
have also to name Pompon, of the
Forty-eighth Bedouins, the best sem
try of the baggage train Loutoute, a
Crlmean heroine; Mittrailli, killed at
Inkerman by shell; Motiino, that
saved his master In Russia, and was
lost or lost himself but found his
way going from Moscow to Milan, his
first dwelling place, The most re-
markable, however, was the last, an
English barrier named Mustapha,
which went into action with his Eng
fish comrades at Fontenoy and, we
are seriously told, remained alone by
field piece of the gunner, his mas
ter, clapped the match to the touch
hole of the cannon and thus killed
seventy soldiers, and 1t is further

now that the sugar beet is struggling for

longer remain unacknowledged.
The amelioration of the sugar beet Is
a business in itself and would require a
volume to discuss it thoroughly. In

The Grammatlo Parade.


Here Is tale OF queer parade,
And a fine commotion It's coming made.
Tho girls and boys all opened their eyes
Ia utter amazement and surprise.
FOR the Parts OF Speech In grand array
We're out for Il glorious holiday
tlrst marched the Nouns OF every kind, a.
Not even the commonest left behind.
Proper, collective, all we're there,
In the great festivlty to share.
Then came the Verbs In their solid strength,
Making II line or marvellous length
Ana noble they were TO see,
Led by the hardy veteran To Be.
rho regulars fine won every eye,
As calamity they went marching by;
me naughty irregulars, sad to say,
Behaved In their usual lawless way;
But the ranks held many stanch old
duffer,
Who knew both how TO do and to suffer.
Every one felt, as he viewed the host.
That Verbs had truly right to boast
The Pronouns followed, and not few,
For OF course, they brought their relatives,
too.
Now magnificent, proud, and grand,
The Adjectives camN, countless band;
They were lovely and beautiful to behold.
They were fine, impressive, courageous,
and bold;
A brilliant, glittering, shlmmering mass
Twas dazzling sight to see them pass
Just here, l think, Adverbs came In;
TheJ made, assure you, a terrible din,
Quarrelling, In disgraceful manner
About who should march with tho Adverb
banner.
Now came the Conjunctions ploddlng set,
But helpful In whatever company met
Not seeking their own, but others befriend-
ing,
For union their influence constantly tend-
ing.
But what shall be said OF the neat Prepo-
sitiOn,
Small but so handy In composition?
They marched In time and kept tho pace,
Though each one carried an objective cuse
The bold nterjectiOnsbrought up tho rear
Accusing the echoes with cheer after,
cheer;
HurrahI Hip hurrah What a noise they
did make
Enough, you might say, tho dead to awake |
The Nouns and Verbs were mortified quite,
BY such behavior and thought II not right;
Indeed, / heard one proper old Noun,
Who Is known and respected all over town,
Say, al'm thankful those fellows who make
such q fuss
Bear no relation to any OF us"

ABOUT TWILIGHT.
1t Is the Hour When Malaria Gets in IT'S
Worst Work.


Worst Work.
The special danger Of the sunset
hour In malarial regions may be ow-
ing to the following conditions:
The microbes or spores concentrate
at level little above the ground,
exactly as one may observe the dust
Of carriages In the road in thick
horizontal layer settle on warm,
moist evening; then there is no lift
Ing by ascending air currents, but a
sort of beating down to a low level,
and their conference ls caused by the
disposition of vapor on the dust parti-
Giles as the air cools,
Thus, over dried marsh there
would be great condensation of mi
crobes, or spores, which could no
longer dispense, They would gather
about the height Of a mans head,
just as we see a ground fog In still,
moist air after warm day in au-
tumn; the organisms were given off
while the surface of the ground was
warm, and they accumulate little
above 1t as radiation carries of the
heat and cools the lowest stratum of
air.
About sunset the earth is still
warm and exhales moisture into the
air above 1t, and with the earth
vapor organisms are largely given Of.
The human body Is at that time most
susceptible to their action, because
the rapid cooling of the skin drives
the blood to the inner surfaces of the
throat, and these congested inner
surfaces favor the innoculatlon by
germs drawn in with the breath.
Later in the night the organisms
have largely sunk by their own weight
and that Of deposited dew, and
the cooled body Is not so
much open to the attack of germs
in the air. Chicago News

Of this, them" said the king, who
was by this time preparing to mount

for an answer, added; ~We call him

Get Drunk on Mushrooms.

The inhabitants of the northeast
ern part Of Asia use q mushroom to
promote intoxlcation. 1t Is known
rs the hy-blown mushroom, and the
Horticultural Times says IL is also
very abundant in Scotland. The
fungus Is gathered In the hottest part
of the year. and Is then hung up by
string In the air to dry. Some are
dry before gathered and these are
said to be far more narcotic than
those artifcially preserved. Usually
the fungus is rolled up like a bolus
md taken without chewing, for, IL
masticated, 1t Is said to disorder the
stomach. One large or two small
fungi produce what is looked upon as
o pleasant state of intoxicatiOn for
one day. The effect is the same as
that produced on taking a quantity
Of spirits or wine, except 1t is de-
layed from one to two hours after the
bOlus has been swallowed. At first
1t produces very cheerful emotions OF
the mind. 1t renders some persons
exceedingly active, and Is stlmu-
liant to muscular exertion. Thus If
a person affected by 1t wishes to step
over a straw or small stick It i'm
pels him to take jump sufficient to
clear low hedge or the trunk Of a
tree. 1t keeps those fond of music
perpetually singing, and under its
influence talkative person can
neither keep secrets nor silence;
hence it is a source OF danger to la
dies and politicians.

A Day with a King.

The little King Of Spain is said to
be the most powerful ruler in the
world, The sight Of him in his little
cradle has made the Spaniards cease
their cruel quarrels withone another,
and Spain has not been so peaceful
and prosperous for many years.
Would you not like to peep at this
royal little man in his home-to know
just how he spends the day?
His home Is In Madrid, the capital
Of Spain. The little fellow, only
years old, has the second story of the
royal palace all to himself and his at
tendants His own rooms are directly
over the Queens. The Queen loves
her little boy dearly She has had a
small winding staircase built from
her own bedroom up into his cham
Der. The least sound, a cough, a
sigh, in the silence awakens her. A
dozen times in the night, sometimes,
she goes to stand upon the little
stairs, and listen to see th$@all is
right.
The little Kings bedroom is bright
and pretty. The carpet Is red. His
bedstead is Of bronze; its curtains
and spreads are blue. A pretty fairy
lamp burns at night on the table.
When he was i'll, not long ago, the
Queen slept on a sofa by his side
seven nights without undressing.
His little majesty rises at seven.
His nurse and his governess come
then to dress him. The first thing
he does is to kneel on his little bed
and repeat word by word after his
goVerness, the Countess OF Peralta, his
morning prayer, for his dead papa's
memory, for his mothers health, and
for the happiness and peace of his
kingdom.
Then comes his bath-splashl In
cold water, with quick rubbing.
Now train Of stately servitors come
in, very solemnly, to bring his choco-
late on silver tray engraved with the
arms of the Spanish crown.
At nine the Queen comes up her
staircase to embrace her little boy.
She takes him on her lap, laughs with
him, sings little songs with him,
talks with him as mothers do, and
both forget the kingdom Of Spain.
At ten comes the great event of the
little Kings day-the changing Of
the guard before the palace. The
guard parade Of soldiers is a gorgeous
sight. Everybody comes to look on
and to hear the gay military music.
There is the infantry, the cavalry,
The artillery. The marching is
superb. This little boy stands at the |
window and claps his hands to see |
The soldiers keep step and the sun
shine flash on the sabres. There he |
s every day at that time, with his
nurse and governess, applauding,
singing and shouting like a little
