The Sensations That Are superinduced by
Its Rising and Failing.
A dim sunlight strikes us in the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunshine again, with feecy white
clouds below us and a deep blue sky
above. Look at the shadow of the bal
loon ON the clouds See the light pris-
matte colors like halo around the
shadow of the car. Here we are all
alone, in perfect silence, in the depths
of a great abyss-massive clouds tower
ing up on all sides, snowy white mass
below. But no sign of earth-no sign
of anything human. Not sound, not a
sign of life What peace 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 a minute, which is the same
thing as if we were going along ten
miles an hour sitting in a dogcart,
Not quite the same, you say-you d
sooner be in the cart? Well, perhaps II
the horse were going straight at wall,
without the possibility of being able tC
stop him, you would think otherwise.
But look There is the earth again sc
out with your ballast. Go on Pour out
plenty; there's no good economizing. -

Not only has the general introduction
Of medicine in the form of compressed
tablets simplined the work of the doc

doctoring. The number of remedies put
mp in this form for popular use con-
stantly increases. Many druggists make
speciality of these things You see
them displayed near the soda water
fountain, put mp in small bottles and
sold at prices that must yield hand
some profit. Half n 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
a catarrhal condition. Others are to pro-
yoke appetite and still others are to
promote one or another natural funo-
tiun. A dozen headache cures are sold in
this fashion, and the different emolli-
ents for the throat are almost innumera-

let's, heart, lung and brain tablets.
Persons who have eschewed patent
medicines all their lives buy these tab
let's of one sort or another, because

recognized remedies. Most of the tab

Quinine, which is now extremely
cheap, is sold largely in the form Of
two grain pills or in larger pills CON

many physicians to be a dangerous rem
edy, it has long been self prescribed by
all sorts of persons, especially in mala-
rial regions, and il is one of the RENE
dies most frequently bought without
prescription. II is self prescribed for
malaria in its many forms, to check q
cold in its early stages, and ms 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-

DIRECTED HER LETTER TO HEAVEN.
Pathetic Little Story of q Child's Epistl'
TO Her Dead Mother.


Pathetic Little Story of a Child's EpIstle
to Her Dead Mother.
At q recent wedding the bride had
retired to her dressing room to don her
travelling gown. Her mother had been
dead a year or more, and she had had
the constant care and companionship Of
her little sister ever since their Attic
tion. The 7-year-old entered the room
and went to her sisters chair very
thoughtfully. Drawing letter from
the little pocket, she said:
"Alice, here is a letter to mamma. l
have just written, telling her all about
the wedding. Will you send it to herr"
The elder sister, little shocked, re-
piled as gently as possible that she
couldn't send letter to mother.
Then the little one, looking quite
bright, said promptly:
"Oh, yes, you can, because now you
are married, you will be getting a little
girl, and when you send for her, just
give the doctor this letter, and he can
take it TO mamma when he goes for the
baby.
And there ON the envelope was the
address, printed as best she could: "To
Mamma, In Heaven. Kindness Of the
Doctor, "
She took the letter, and hugged the
little one to hide the tear which was
rubbed off on the curly, brown head -

MISS RUTH's AMBITION.


The Presidents Daughter Wishes Her
Father Were Policeman.
Little Ruth Cleveland is a national
character. Her brief career has been
watched with interest by all classes Of
American people without regard to po-
litical affiliations or prejudices. Ruth
is now years Of age, and she begins to
understand the distinction she enjoys as
a daughter of the president. But, after
all, Ruth is only child, with the ideas
and instincts Of innocent infancy. Child
hoods estimate Of greatness was charm
ingly illustrated by Ruth the other day.
One of the policemen whose duty it
is to guard the private portion Of the
grounds in the rear Of the White House
is a stalwart specimen Of manhood. He
is babitually careful as to his attire,
and his buttons always shine with a
brilliant luster.
The other day, the weather being
balmy and springlike, this policeman
took his little daughter with him, that
she might enjoy the well guarded flow
ers and the clean walks of the private
grounds during his two hours Of duty.
The little girl is not quite six years old.
While the policeman was pointing out
the beauty Of the grounds to his daugh-
ter, Misses Ruth and Esther Cleveland,
under the escort Of their respective
nurses, left the mansion for a healthful
run in the fresh air. Ruth ran ahead OF
her nurse, and, upon discovering a girl
Of her own age, strutted up and survey
ed her from head to foot. After looking
the little girl over, Ruth Strengthened
herself up, and, with an air Of impor
tance, said:
my papa is president; who is youi
papa?"
The policeman's daughter defsntly
replied:
my papa is policeman.
Ruth glanced up at the burly form
ornamented with bright brass buttons
and, hanging her head in an abashe(
manner, replied:
81 wish my papa was a policeman. ,

REAL FACTS ABOUT HEN MANURE.
Why It Varies In Quality--MixinR with

why It Varies In Quality Mixing with

This substance is richer than the dung
Of other animals because il contains both
the solid and liquid excrement, whereas
the dung Of cows and horses contains
comparatively little of their urine un-
less absorbents have been freely used.
Nitrogen (ammonia) is voided mainly
in the liquid part hence il both solid
and liquid excrement are obtained to-
gether this most expensive element Of
plant food is saved, together with the
potash and phosphates in the solid OK
crement. Hen manure contains all these
manurial Substances except what the
fowl retains for sustonance, growth and
eggs. Therefore quality of droppings
depends upon food consumed Thus a
pen Of fowls fed ON n concentrated mix

tanning one-fourth more plant food than
a like pen fed ON cornmeal instead Of
this mixture.

may be lost by evaporation, and as it is
the most valuable part care should be
taken to preserve it. This may be readi-
ly done by freely using an absorbent un-

this would be worth cents. Fattening

may bo said that hen manure may be

fowl per year, according to the care TAX

When potatoes are placed for few
minutes in brine, the lightest or those
Of poorest quality and most deficient in
starch rise to the top. BY this method
it is an easy matter with the aid Of
hydrometer TO determine the amount of
starch and hence the quality Of tho po-
tatoes. T.. S. Goff, who planted the
light, the medium and the heavy pota-
toes as indicated by the brine test for
two years in succession, reports to Rural
New Yorker that, unlike European in
vestigators, he noted no improvement
in the quality Of the crops as result Of
this selection. He found that tubers
growing nearest the surface were Of low
est specific gravity or poorest quality and
that the specific gravity increased with
the depth at which the potato grew
This he ascribes to the cooler tempera-
ture found at greater depths. He also
found that potatoes grown in level cul-
ture, with the consequent lower tenn
perature within the SOIL had greater
specific gravity than those grown in
hills

Leaohlng Of Barnyard Manure.

In a report from the New York sta
tion Professor Roberts makes plain that
horse manure when thrown out in a
pile unsheltered from the weather loses
nearly half its value in six months.
Mixed barnyard manure when piled in
a close pile so that fermentation is very
slow, but without protection from rain
fall, loses about one-tenth Of its value,
while the loss If thrown under the caves,
to be leached by rains and thaws of
winter, is much greater. At this station
fresh manure piled in conlcal heaps in
January shrank SO per cent in weight by
April, and the loss Of its fertilizing in
gradients was equal to 90 per cord of the
manure,

LEIeHToN,s FAIR MODEL.
Dorothy Dene, who Posed For Many Of
His Best Pictures.


A tall woman, beautifully formed,
with a skin firm and smooth and OF that
golden tinted white that Henner de-
lights in, a head Grecian enough TO
have furnished inspiration for one Of
Praxiteles' Aphrodites, with golden
hair, violet eyes-such woman is Dor
othy Dene, whom the late Frederick
Leighton made famous in many Of his
best known paintings.
She was his favorite model With all
her charms of person, Dorothy Dene is
as simple rs a child, modest and retir-
ing. Her naturalness, as much as any
thing, endeared her to the great artist,
who was devoted to her for many years.
Rumor has woven romance in his
life, in which his model figures
IL says he loved her, but that circum-
stances over which he had no control
prevented him from marrying her.
She is one of five sisters. They all
live in London, where they have IA cozy
little apartment in South Kensington,
the art center of the British capital. 1t
is one Of the most artistic flats in Lon
don, and one in which more beaux
esprits, painters, musicians and littera-
teurs gather, when she is at home, two
Sundays in each month, than in any
other in the big city.
Miss Dene visited this country in the
winter of 1898 and was seen on the
stage here. Her theatrical venture wat
not brilliant success, but her beauty
caused quite sensation.
She spoke of Sir Frederick Leighton
he had not then been made peer-witl
great tenderness. In an interview with
her ut that time, published in The jour
nal, she said, Although Sir Frederick
is over 60 years old, he is the youngest
man l know, and, 1 might add, thC
kindest, most generous.
She told Of where the great artis
painted his wonderful Greoian pictures
He believed in the beautiful, lived il
the beautiful, and many Of his best can
vases adorned the walls of the room il
which they were brought into existence
No "artistio dust" was visible there
everything was neat, she said, showing
an even mind given to beautiful
thoughts and the portraying Of them.
He was the soul of good nature anC
occupied in English society position

Frederick Leighton was always there
and when he spoke he always had some
thing to say and something to whicl
