During each day of the county fair,

last evening she had assembled about
sixty feet when her parachute became
detached and fell to the ground. The
balloon shot up rapidly. The worlau
in an effort to catch the parachute, had
partly fallen and was hanging with
one arm hooked over the trapcze bar.
When the balloon was almost lost IN
the clouds a dark spcck was seen
to drop from it and the 5000 specta-

striking a tree. Fragments of the
body were left in the tree.

first time since the campaign opened.
He has been recovering his health at
Spring Like, Y. j., and from that
place wrote TO headquarters rs fol-
lows:
The danger lies in the Mississippi
valley, and the fusion Of the opposing
elements. Everything east OF the Ohio
is solid. The battle-ground is between

the danger is with the bimctaliists,

there is little or no hope, but with the

there is everything to hope for and to
work for. | see no reason why we
should not win, and win triuIuphant-
ly. My health is recovering rapidly.
l expect to go to Iowa for a couple OF
weeks in October to do whatever can
to help in my own state. lam certain
it is all right, but some of the timid
ones are are anxious about it, and l
shall go and do my duty. l am anX-
ious to have Iowa make as proud a
record in support of the party in this
crisis as any state in the Union"
Committeeman Leland returned to-
day from Kansas. He said the gold
strength in his state was surprising
the Bryan followers, the cyclists were
organizing all over the country for
Mckinley, and Kansas would be as re-
publican in November as il vas in the

Fallacy of Food Tables.

Tables giving the respective percent
nge of nutriment in animal and yege-
table foods are quite common and are
often consulted by those wishing to
gain nourishment from the smallest
quantity of food matter. Such per.
sons forget that the measure of nutri.
ton to any individual case is not to be
Judged by a table showing the nutri-
tive parts of food as determined by
chemical analysis. but depends upon its
digestibility in his or her particular
case. Cheese, measured by the ele-
ments of its composition, is far more
nourishing than beef, yet cheese is tc
most people difficult of digestion, and
therefore beef in the majority of case
affords much more actual nourishment,
All depends on the person. Many times
food that is practically poison to one
is nourishing and i~nvigorating to an-
other. We are not only fearfully and
wonderfully made, but we are made sc
unlike in many respects that we must
not take it for granted that another
mans diet will suit us till we have
tested it well.-What to Eat.

QUEEN MAKES FEW MISTAKES.
Why Ter Opinion Is Respected by All Of
Her Subjects.

Just think of the plumbers all living
monarchs have made, even Francis
Joseph, of Austria, whom men now &C
count 4 nestor, and all the premiers of
our time and then reflect On this reign,
iii which there has never been Il blunder
great enough to lie ~perceptible to the
million eyes which always watch a
court. 1t seems to us that wholly apart
from the difficult question of the proper
limits of loyalty to an individual, there
is enough i'll the known facts TO Justify
al the reverence with which the queen
is regarded and which extends far be-
yond the limit of her scepter, wide as
the limit has row become.
Foreigners occupy in many respects
the position of posterity, AID among
foreigners capable of Judging the rev.
crence for the queen is at least as gin at
as in England, her opinion when known
t o foreign court weighing at least as
heavily as it does with her own minis
tiers. This is due, say several of our
contemporaries, to the internarriages
which have made her majesty the COM
mon ancestreSS in go many courts, in
every court, indeed, not strictly Cath
olic, and no doubt the strange position
of the queen in that respect is II rea-
son for the special honor in which she
is held abroad, but it is not the prin-
copal one. Relatives can hate one On
other very hard, and the queen is as
greatly respected in Washington or
New York as in Berlin or St. Peters
burg.
Her majesty is great because her
reign has been great-great in its enter
prises, great in its success, great, above
all, in that compatibility which, owing
mainly to the character of the SOW
creign, it has shown to be possible be-
tween a more than republican freedom
and monarchial institutions. The Brit
ish empire is the greatest object lesson
ever given to the world to show that o
state can enlarge its borders without
living under tyranny and without uni
versal military service.-London Spec
tator.
