IN A BALLOON.
The Sensations That Are Superinduced by
Its Rising and Falling.

The Sensations That Are Superinduced by
Its Rising and Falling.
A dim sunlight strikes us in the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunshine again, with fleeoy white
clouds below us and deep blue sky
above. Look at the shadow Of the bal
loon on the clouds! See the light pris-
matte colors like a halo around the
shadow Of the car. Here we are all
alone, in perfect silence, in the depths
of great abyss-massive clouds tower
ing up on all sides. Q snowy white mass
below. But no sign Of earth-no sign
of anything human. Not sound, not a
sign Of lifel What peacei What bliss
Horrors What's that report? The bal
loon must have burst Oh. nonsense
Keep still! It's only fold of the stuff
nipped by the netting being suddenly
released; that's all.
Well, we are falling, for see the bits
OF paper apparently ascending And we
must take care, for the coldness and
dampness of this cloud will cause the
gas to contract, and we shall fall rapid
ly. So get bag of ballast ready, for
we are already in the darkness Of the
cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks and
writhes, and the loose folds rustic to-
gether. and it gets darker. You can feel
the breeze blowing upward against
your face or hand held over the edge Of
the Car. Well, that's not to be wondered
at, for remember we are falling, say
1000 feet minute, which is the same
thing as if we were going along ten
miles an hour sitting in dogcart.
Not quite the same, you say-you'd
sooner be in the cart? Well, perhaps il
the horse were going straight at a wall,
without the possibility Of being able to
stop him, You would think otherwise.
But look! There is the earth again go
ont with your ballast. Go on! Pour out
plenty; there's no good economizing. -

Not only has the general introduction

fountain, put up in small bottles and
sold at prices that must yield . hand
some profit. Half dozen remedies for
indigestion are thus sold, some contain
ing pepsin as the active principle. 9TH
ers containing soda mint, some bismuth,
some charcoal or more powerful disin-
fectants. Some are designed to remove
acidity Of the stomach; others to attack
catarrhal condition. Others are to pro-
woke appetite, and still others are to
promote one or another natural func-
tion. A dozen headache cures are sold in
this fashion, and the different emolli-
ents for the throat are almost innumera-
BILE. There are grip tablets, liver tab
lets, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have eschewed patent
medicines all their lives buy these tab
lets of one sort or another, because
most of them are supposed to be we'll
recognized remedies. Most of the tab
let's are advertised only in medical jour-
mails, in accordance with the require
ments of the medical code, and many
of them, no doubt, have obtained their
popularity through their use by reputa-
BILE physicians.
Quinine, which is now extremely
cheap, is sold largely in the form Of
two grain pills or in larger pills con-
tanning iron. Although believed by
many physicians to be dangerous rem
edy, it has long been self prescribed by
all sorts of persons, especially in mala-
rial regions, and it is one Of the reme-
dies most frequently bought without
prescription. It is self prescribed for
malaria in its many forms, to check a
cold in its early stages, and as tonic.
Stimulants Of one sort or another are
sold in this form, but more especially
perhaps at the soda fountain, which has
become sort of medical dispensary.
Many headache remedies are dispensed
at the soda fountain. Some are recon-
mended or suggested by the attendant,
but many persons have their favorites
among the various sedatives and febri-
fuges, and some are called for as regu-
lar!y as the fruit sirups. New remedies
ara constantly introduced through the
soda fountains, and many old ones have
long been included in the annually
lengthening list of the soda water dis
pensers. New York Sun.

A Novel Phase of the New Woman Ques-
tion ON . Train.
II was amused at woman on train
coming into Washington from the
south, said gentleman. ''It showed
novel phase Of the new woman ques-
tion.
'sAt Goldsboro a man got on the train
with a baby in his arme. A woman fol-
lowed, but paid no attention to the man.
The baby was evidently sick, and the
father, North Carolina mountaineer,
paced up and down the car trying to
quiet the child. Every lady ON the car
except the woman who got on the train
at Goldsboro was interested. Considera-
BILE speculation was indulged in as to
the father and child, the CONSENSUS of
opinion being that he had just lost his
wife and was taking the baby to its
grandparents. After two or three hours
the woman who boarded the train at the
same time the man did spoke to him,
and he then passed on, fondling the
baby.
IA benevolent looking old lady seat
ed near the woman, curious to know
something about the matter. said:
The child seems to be sick
"'Yes'm.'
"'I saw you speak to the father. Do
you know him?
"'Orter he's my husban.
"'Do You mean to say that You are
that child's mother and let the baby
suffer that way?'
Hes jess as able to tote it as I be-
He's jess as much kin to it az be, and
the woman turned unconcernedly to the
window, while the man continued to
walk and dandle the child. ."-Washing-

The rirs. Log Cabin In Kentucky.

The flourishing little city of Harrods-
burg, the county seat of Mercer county,
KY, was the scene in the latter part of
the last century of some very exciting
episodes in the history of the early set
tiers in the young state. On June 16,
l774, Captain James HaIrod of Virginia,
whc had brought party of settlers to
the new country, laid off town site at
Big Spring Camp. where they had erected
the first cabin ever built in Kentucky.
They allotted to each man half acre
lot and ten acre out lot. The towns
first name was Harrodstown, but later
this was changed to Harrodsburg, A
clearing was made in the east end Of
the town boundary, and here it was that
John Harman planted and raised the
first corn that was known to have been
grown in the state. Only few weeks
after this auspicious beginning Of the
towns promoters four of Harrod's men
were ambushed by Indians. Jared Cow
an was killed. The other men escaped,
only one of them being injured Louis

Chinese Decoration Day.

Yesterday was the day set apart
for decorating the graves of Chi
nese and it was celebrated at the
different Chinese cemeteries by
leaving offerings of roast pig,
chicken and other edibles on the
various graves. A company of
Chinese actors borrowed hack
from its owner and six of them
crowded into it and drove to Ma
noa cemetery. They had the
usual good time, and on re-
turning were arrested for over
crowding the hack. After being
detained in the police station a
while, they were reprimanded by
the deputy marshal and allowed
to depart.
