perfectly confident that the antidote pos
sessed such a wonderful infinity for the
morphine that 1t would select it instan-
taneously flom among the contents Of
the stomach.
In case of poisoning by any of the
salts of mCrphia 10 to 10 grains of the
antidote dissolved in six or eight ounces
of water should be administered at once
and repeated at intervals of 80 minutes
three or four times, or even more often.
Permanganate of potassium as well as
the salts of manganese are compare
lively harmless, even if given in large
quantities.
DIR. Moor continues: lin cases of
poisoning by the alkaloid itself or by
tincture of opium Qaudanum), also by
opium, it is advisable to acidulate the
antidotal solution with diluted sui

reason to believe that the administra-
ton of permanganate will be of bene-

morphine has taken place.
Aluminium Instruments.
A physician who got rid of some of
his steel instruments and bought others
made of aluminium says that he is sor-
ry that he changed. The aluminium
probes, sounds, tongue depressers and
that sort of thing do not oxidize, to be
sure, but he finds that they are deficient
in elasticity and stay bent after pres
sure. He declares, moreover, that he
likes to feel as if he had a hold on some
thing when he uses an instrument, and
aluminium is so light that it makes
him feel as if he could put no trust in
it.-Exchange.

HE BALLOON IN eATTLc.
How 1t Is Managed and Information Trans

How 1t Is Managed and Information Trans
mjtted and Received.
Balloon and wagon have formed a juno
ton and are ready to start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with thu
balloon hanging on to its tail, while IL
attendant ssppers on each side keep
steady. The train moves along at 60,
round pace easily keeping up with
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tions, which is usually on the top of a
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. The balloon
is 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 go, and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to
height of 900 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position OfIthe balloon, is it necessary to
haul it down? Not bit of it. A man
is placed ft the end of the wagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope so
that it cannot get entangled or run risk
of being cut, and away goes the wagon,
sometimes at a trot across fields and up
and down hill, until the balloon itself is
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lover the balloon. Is it needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon is brought to earth in a
much MOTE expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle of
which is a pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half a dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be ex-
changed, lOr any other operation can be
carried On, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than a few minutes.
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon IN this or any other way whenever
it is REQUIRED that messages should be
exchand I'D between those below and those
above. kThere are various cOntriYances

THE OLD VAL6N
souvenir Of the bygOne years,

A souvenir of the bygOne year,
Breathing old Odors faint as ma
Which roses spill in dew and dusk;
Its blaz0Led pages dulled by tears;
Its faded Cupid dropping low,
With broken wing and rusty bow;
A leaf of life turned old and scar,
Yet still she holds it sweet and dear
For love embalms each simple line
OF that old, faded valentine.
She pores upon the cherished page
A Giy past her morning IIS.
But fair as IN the long ag,
To such as she what matters .tge.
Whose love is ageless, and whose Irdrh
Makes in her soul eternal youth:
Still unforgOtten kisses thrill
With rapture her swift pulses; still
She cries: How bright this world would be
Could you, o Love, come back to me,
AS once my own and only mine,
My bOnny knight and valentine!
THE fault was mine-Oh, hapless fate!-
To learn our needs and blame too late,
When prayers and tears cannot atone
For wrong and sorrow dealt our own"
But, 10, a tread of eager feet
Presages something strange and sweet!
He comes, forgiven, to forgive!
Sweetheart, TO love that is TO live,
And love like ours can never die"
Nor need to voice he hearts reply!
More eloquent the dumb, dear sign
OF that long treasured valentine.

Missionaries.

Archdeacon Farrar sets forth forcibly
the large debt of science to missions iE
these words: Is it nothing that through
their labor in the translation of the
Bible the German philOlogist in his
study may have before him the gram
mar and vocabulary of ESQ languages?
Who created the science of anthrOpOl-
ogy? The missionaries. Who rendered
possible the deeply important science of
comparative religion? The mission
aries. Who discovered the great chain
of lakes in central Africa, on which
will turn Its future destiny? The mis-
siOnaries. Who have been the chief
explorers of Oceanica, America and
Asia? The missionaries. Who discov-
cred the famous HISTORIAN monument in
Singar Flu? y missionary. Who dis
covered the still more famous MOabite
stone? A missionary. Who discovered
the Hittite inscriptions? A missionary.

a wire is attached, through which mes

General Malone was wounded at sec

Mrs. Malone, said: "Oh, don't be In

"Oh, that is impossible! There is not
flesh enough on him for that. " Those

liant accessories appear to best advantage
when they are seen over dark gown, and
if small hat or bonnet to match is worn
the effect is dOubly satisfactory.
A pretty and very simple plastron ar
rangement is made with the metal paSse-
menterie pieces that come in pairs shaped
like a cOrselet and fitted to the front of the
figure. Satin ribbon s inches wide is tied
in huge bow reaching from shoulder to
shoulder, the ends being brought down over
the bust and gathered in beneath the top
of the corselet pieces. The corselet is at
tached to the bodice by means of jeweled
stickpins.
All colors are used for these accessories,
black and gold being particularly effective.
a graceful garniture is made by arranging
the embroidered material in the form of
yoke and bordering it all around with a
lounce of spangled guipure, which con-
ceals the upper part of the sleeve and falls
over the bust almost to the waist. The
neck is finished with high collar fastened
by a jeweled buckle
A charming sort of basQuine in which
metal effects and lace were shown was worn
at a recent fashionable wedding i'll Paris
1t was made of bronze faille and was en-
broidered with bronze and gold beads
Wide Russian guipure was arranged to fall
like cape over the arm, while the upper
edge formed a ruChing across the top of the
shoulder A breadth of the lace was also
gathered in at the neck in front, falling in
plain folds some distance below the waist.
There was high flaring collar. With this
garment was worn tiny bonnet of bronze
beads trimmed with pink roses.

With the great variety of soft silks, grapes
and nets now in the market there is no lack
of material for the construction of dainty
vests, yokes, plastrons, collars, capes and
similar devices for the Frightening up of
street toilets to suit evening occasions
where full dress is not necessary. A great
deal of guipure is used, also beaded tulle
and net embroidered in jet or small colored
cabochons or plentifully spangled. Indeed
flashing metallic effects are greatly in favor,
and as the spangles are very light there is
no objection of weight to be urged against
their employment. OF course these bril-
