OUR FIRST TESTIMONIAL

Salt Lake City. Utah, June %, 1895.
To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that L have lived in
Salt Lake City for over six years, and
that 1 have been ruptured for a great
many years. l have worn many different
makes of trusses, but never could get
one that would retain my rupture while
at work. Being a butcher by trade, my
work is very hard and 1 would often
have to put my rupture back in place 20
or 30 times a day. and for more than one
year had to quit work entirely. Finally.
circumstances forced me to again go to
work at my trade. and for the last two
years l have worked for the Murray
Meat & Live Stock Co.. as butcher and
suffered only as one ruptured can suffer.
On May %. 1 called upon the Fidelity
Rupture Cure Co., and had them fit one
OF their trusses to me. and commenced
their treatment and have since worked
every day butchering, but my rupture
never came down again At the end of
four weeks, with five treatments, can
say l feel as strong as L ever did in my
life, and know that 1 am cured, although
they advise me to wear the truss a few
weeks longer.
1 am confident that anyone suffering
with rupture can be cured by the Fl
deity method in from four to eight
weeks. Yours truly.

Folks afflicted with the balloon fever
viii have a chance to indulge the dis
ease to the utmost limit before long.
An aeronautical convention, the very
first of its kind, is to be held in Boston
in the early part of September, and
flying sharps from ali parts of the
world viii attend to show their fell
lows what wonderful things they have
accomplished in the matter of touring
among the clouds.
Il is almost unnecessary to state that
this convention may be the means of
causing a revolution in the matter OF
quick transit. The men who will attend

igation is not only possible but that
within a few years it will be popular

corporations and by private individ-
uals. Popular interest in aeronautics
has been aroused all over the world by
the balloon expedition to the north
pole by Explorer Andree. Recent eX-
perimentS by meteorological experts IN
kite flying have also excited the pubic
mind in the matter, and II Is Ialr TO

HE WAS IN sucH A HIRRy.

A friend who had hailed recently
from Cairo told me this tale, as an
illustration of the dilatory ways of
Arabian trades people:
"A certain gentleman ordered a
swing to be erected in his garden for
the use of his little boy, aged 6. He
waited and waited, but the swing never
arrived. In due course of time that
boy grew up to mans estate, and be-
came himself the father of a little
boy.
when his son was 6 years old, he
remembered how his father had or
dered a swing to be made for him. So
he called on tradesmau, who lived
at his gate, and asked him to send up
the swing that had been ordered 20
years before. The man agreed to do
SO.
The little boy, becoming impatient
after three weeks, his father called
again, and demonstrated with the Ara
bian as to his dilatoriousness The in
dignant tradesman replied that he
could not really undertake to serve any
one VINO was in such a fearful hurry

THE EASTER. EGG.

It is far back enough to trace the
mystery of the egg to the egg and dart
pattern, but when we come to study
the history of the Easter egg we en-
gulf ourselves in the remoteness of
time. In poached egg-what is the
definition of poach? Now, Easter and
the Jewish passover occur at quite the
same time, and the pasch egg is the
passover egg, and from that may come
the potch, pooh, poche, potched or
poached egg. The old Aryan myth, so
folklorists tell us, finds its revival in
early Christianity's adopting the egg
as an emblem of the resurrection. AS
to the pecking of eggs, and the appro-
priation of the broken one by the lad
possessing the harder egg, that began
as soon as juvenile greed was devel-
oped, and the small boy of the remote
period did not differ much from the
ere of today.-New York Times.

venial sins arose before him as he
struggled through the snow, repeating
his aves. and adding:

morning.
The furies of the storm CRASHED at
him, they chilled his blood, they blind
ed his failing eyesight, they caught his
wailing slogan-"I want to put it
around the sugar bowl in the mornin, "
from his trembling lips. They hardened
the tears on his cheeks; until frozen
and exhausted, he fell over a ledge of
rocks and rolled down into the road.

The lights had begun to twinkle in
the windows of the valley. when Mickey
emerged into the hollow he was in
search of. He was skilled in the mys-
teries of the woods. Many a summer
afternoon had he passed in the little
hollow where he now stood. Then the
air was heavy with the perfume of
wild honeysuckle and odorous with the
balsam of the pines. Now, snow two
feet deep covered it like blanket.
There was no hesitation, however, in
his manner, as he began digging in
the snow with the coal shovel. He dug
a trench one foot wide across the most
sheltered part of the hollow. His
trench was nearly six feet lCng. when
his quick eye caught the faint glim-
mer of green through the dead leaves
at the bottom. STOPPING down, with
trembling eagerness, he plucked leaf
and holding it up against the sky,
chuckled with delight as he muttered:
IT have it! have it, Shure mother

Five minutes later his prize lay over
his heart tied in a bandana handker-
chef. and he was fioundering his way
through the snow homeward.

/ probably take place at Milton, a sub
urb of Boston. The reason Of the Sc
lection of Milton is that there is a fair
sized sheet of water near at hand. All
aeronautS have a weakness for making
ascents in the vicinity of water. EX-
perience has taught them that it is
pleasanter to fall few hundred feet
into deep water than to smash into the
earth. 1t is quite probable that if no
water were near at hand many of the
designers would refuse TO show off
their flying machines at the COMPETE
ton.
THE COMPETITION.
The various contests are classified as
follows:
Prize A-For the kite showing the
maximum of lift to the minimum of
drift in a breeze having a velocity of
more than fifteen miles per hour.
Prize B-For the kite showing the
maximum Of lift to the minimum of
drift in q breeze having a velocity of
less than fifteen miles per hour.
Prize C-For the kite keeping its
equilibrium through the greatest ex-
tremes of wind velocity.
Prize D-For the soaring machine in
free flight which, after gaining veloc-
ity, shall make the best course. The
excellence of the course to be judged
by the maximum length and the mini
mum undulation. Energy may be given
to the machine by carrying it to a
height.
Prize E-For the best self-propelled
machine
The great interest will center in the
flying machines, and according TO eX-
perts chs feature of the programme
viii be duel between the designs of
Professor Langley. Of Washington,
and Herr Lilienthal, Of Berlin. Pro-
fessor Langley's machine is a contra
diction Of the principles recognized by
all Of the other designers of flying ma
chimes. In other words, the aim of the
average designer is to produce a ma
chine lighter than the air Professor
Langley believes that the weight Of the
machine has nothing TO do with the
flying capacity. He claims that the
great essential is the driving force. If
enough power can be introduced, he
argues that a machine of any weight
can be driven through the air.
1t was the Lowry turkey buzzard that
gave this idea to Professor Langley
On this subject he says: Did you
ever think what a physical miracle it
is for such a bird as one of our COM
mon turkey buZzards to fly in the way
it does? You may see them any day
along the Potomac, floating in the air.
with hardly the movement of their
feathers. These birds weigh from five
10 ten pounds: they are far heavier
than the air they displace; they are
absolutely heavier than so many fiat
irons

ows. If Bridget had raised her head
and looked out of the window, she
would have seen her boy running down
the Old Point road with race-horse
speed. But her view of him would
have been brief, for he quickly ran out
of sight of the shanty and disappeared
in the perspective of eddying snow
flakes. He made fair progress in the
roadway where the track had been
broken by passing teams, but when
he turned into the wood where the
road dipped toward the river, his pro-
gress was slower The majesty of the
tail pines awed him little, and their
heart-quaking tones chilled his enthu-
siasm. as he. f1oundiered along through
the snow. Now he crossed a, little oasis
of pine needles where the keen wind
had shoveled away the snow, and
again he struggled through the drifts
waist high. But, although he was
chilled TO the marrow by the razor
like wind his courage never left him;
and, as the shadows deepened. he NUT
tered between his clenched teeth:

A MYSTERIOUS MACHINE.

Professor Langley has been most re-
ticent about the construction of his
machine. He used steam as a driving
power. 1t is in the distribution and
form of the solid matter, he says,
which allows it TO float through the
air, and the greater the speed attained
the less danger there is of the ma
chine falling. Less than three months
ago Professor Langley sent a small
machine on a flight Of nearly half a
mile through the air in the presence of
Alexander Graham Bell. This machine
was built Of steel, weight "a pounds
and measured IA feet from end to end.
1t was 1000 times heavier than the air
supporting it. Great secrecy attended
the experiment, and the world would
probably have never known of it had
it not been for the enthusiasm of Pro-,
fessor Bell. Professor Langley is now
at work on a larger and heavier ma
chine, in which the driving power will
be much greater. 1t is possible that
the new machine will be exhibited at
the Boston convention.

THE LILIENTHAL DIEA.

Professor Langley does not believe
that man has sufficient strength to fly
with artificial wings. His rival Herr
Lilienthal, does. His machines are
constructed on that idea. With the
Lilienthal machine it is necessary to
start the fight from high hill The
flyer buckles on the machine, takes a
sharp run and jumps into space. The
big wings on the machine are supposed
to do the rest. The novice, when he
runs and jumps, usually hits the ground
with his face. Herr Lilienthal has had
an artificial hill fifty feet high built
near his home at Gros Lichterfelde. a
suburb of Berlin. From this emf
nence he has made repeated flights of
$50 yards
His apparatus consists of wooden
frames, winglike- in shape, covered
with cotton twilling. The frame is
seized by the hands, the arms resting
on cushions, thus supporting the bory.
The legs remain free for running or.
jumping. The staering in the air is
brought about by changing the center
of gravity. The supporting surfaces
are from II to 25 yards
