rHa BALLOON m sArrlk.


uow "a Ii Managed and Eafoxmstton Tsmnss
mifted sd Reserved
Balloon and wagon have formed june
ton and are ready to start with thu
troops. Away goes the wagon. with the
balloon hanging ON 10 Its tail. while the
attendant sappers on each side keep 1t
steady. The train moves along at good
round pace, easily keeping mp with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which 10 has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tons. which Il usually on the top Of .
good high hill.
An ascent IL an easy enough matter
and IL soon accomplished. The balloon
10 securely fixed to the end Of the wire
rope, and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word OF COM
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let 60. and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as il rises
and allowed sometimes 70 ascend 10 q
height Of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position Of the balloon, Is ii necessary to
haul it downs Not bit of 1t. A man
Is placed at the end Of the wagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope 10
that 1t cannot get entangled or run risk
OF being cut. and away goes the wagon.
sometimes at trot across fields and MP
and down hill, until the balloon itself Il
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that 1t Is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. L. 1t needful
to wind In all the wire rope that has been
paid ont from the reelsf No such thing.
The balloon Is brought to earth In Z
much more expeditions manner.
A long. stout pole, in the middle Of
which II pulley wheel, 10 laid across
the rope. Half . dozen men seize the
pole and run 1t along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down "a
T, the ground. Passengers can then be ex'
changed, or any other operation can b.
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back. and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds Of feet into tht
air. without having been away from 1t,
exalted position more than few minutes
| But 1t Is not necessary to lower the bal
| loon in this or any other way whenever
1t is required that messages should b
exchanged between those below and thos'
above. There are various contrivancel
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance
o wire Is attached. through which mes
sages can be sent to telephone. Anothel
plan is to send messages down the wiz
cable. A little wire hook Ia fastenet
around the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with small sandbag, 4
sent fnttering down. The human voice

It would be great help to mothers
and would save not only much needless
anxiety but also many n doctors bill
and sometimes even a life, IL the dis.
tinction between a slight and a serious
ailment were more generally understood
Overcaution and not undercaution Ia
apt TO be the prevailing tendency. A
child or young person complains of Sc
we're pain in the chest, and the mother
at once fancies IL is pneumonia, or II the
trouble is In the bowels peritonitisi 10 the
dreaded enemy, and so On.
'.Pain without fever" said a well
known physician, ''may be very severe
and may cause much suffering. but in
acute attacks 1t Is not dangerous" IF
you had this amount of pain that you
complain Of" he said to the patient who
had hastily summoned him, lin any in
fiammatory disease. you would be in a
raging fever; If you have nc fever you
need never worry"
Most serious illnesses are preceded by
chill. This is 4 symptom that should
never be disregarded, and II Is always
safe to put child to bed and stop his
food. Warmth and dieting will be found
to be the best remedy for any ordinary
indisposition. while for the beginning OF
serious trouble 1t Is often the only thing
that can be done until the disease de-
slares itself.-New York Tribune.

chief business Of the whites seems to be 10
domincer over the natives and swindle

imposts raised from Foreigners amounted
to ia, sos German marks, OF which the
Germans paid SO per cent, the English 90

win thus be seen that our commercial tn
terests In the islands are not very large at

Samoa Is universally recognized, and the
necessity Of maintaining our naval and

regarded as the principal consideration
that induced the United States to enter In
