him SO cautiously that presume
didn't jerk the rope bit. 1 wonder
that I hadn't shouted to him at the
very first, but it didn't enter my head
for me to do anything but hang on and
climb.
"When had slowly climbed up we'll
under the car, without thinking what
the effect would be shouted 'Halloa!'
and the next instant was almost jerked
off the rope, for the balioonist gave a
jump that very nearly upset the car,
and when caught sight of his face,
after he had turned around two or three
times, trying in a dazed sort of way to
find out where the voice came from, it
was as white as sheev. He looked eau
tiously over the edge of the basket.
"'How in the name Of he began,
but suddenly cut it short. Hold on
minute longerl' he shouted.
And in twinltling he had mads .
moose in the end of piece of rope that
was lying in the car, and had passed it
down, moose end first, through the wick
er-work bottom of the basket.
Put one foot into the loop he
called out, and 1 will tie the other end
of the rope here, to support your
weight. That will take the strain off
your hands till can get you into the
car.
"It was a great relief to have the
strain of my weight taken off my hands
and feet. With one foot in the loop
could hang on very comfortably. But

to get into the basket? An attempt
to climb up over the side might upset
that frail affair.
"'Wait minute called out the aero.
naut. III cut out two of the ribs of the
basket, right here in the bottom, and
then, by springing the next one on each
side back little, guess you can crawl
up through" and this was done g. mo-
ment later.
II can tell you I was glad when
found myself sitting in the bottom of
the basket resting.
How long has it been since we left
the ground?' 1 asked.
THE aeronaut looked at his watch.
Just five minutes he said.
"a good deal can happen in five min
utes.
That" continued my companion,
"was the way came to be an aeronaut."
"The affair created a great sensation,
and 1 was talked about far and wide.

shrewd enough to see that there was
money to be made out of so much free

took some time to,fill IL from the mouth
of an oven-like affair that set above a
trench, in which big fire was snap
ping and roaring, fed by pitch wood and
| oil soaked barrel slaves.
1.-THE drag-rope was lying coiled upon
the ground, and the balloon was held
down by stout ropes carried out on all
sides.
"As the huge affair got larger and
larger and began to tug vigorously on
the ropes, we boys who were looking on
got more and more excited, and when
they began to get the basket ready to
fasten under the balloon, we had
crowded up pretty close to the great
swaying air ship.
Now, boys, keep back said the
aeronaut, as he came into the circle to
make everything ready; keep back, or
some of you will get hurt, with this bas-
ket thrashing about here;' for by this
time the basket had been fastened on
and the balloon was filed out nearly
full.
THE balloonist threw into the basket
several bundles of circulars which he
was going to throw out, handful by
handful, as he rose through the air, the
proprietors of various stores in the town
having taken this then original method
of distributing their circulars and
dodgers.
Everything was now ready. The hot
air had been shut off, the mouth of the
balloon had been closed, and the balloon
ist had arranged his circulars ready to
throw out, a dozen or so at time, as
lie went up.
Let go the ropes!' he shouted
"And the great sphere shot up into
the air, with white paper futtering
out from it on all sides.
II could never tell exactly how it
happened" continued my seatmate,
but l suppose it was n mixture of boy
ish curiosity and sudden pressure
from behind, as the crowd surged for
ward; but know that suddenly STUN
'btcd forward and fell upon the coil of
drag rope that was being rapidly taken
up. In falling, my foot in some way be-
came entangled in rope, so that a loop
in it caught me by one ankle, and quick
as flash was going up into the air at
the rate of a mile a minute, hanging
head downward, while a great cry of
horror was sent after me by the peo-
pie below.
You may be sure that no more sur
prised boy ever left terra-frma than
was, when I saw the earth suddenly
dropping away from me, as it seemed

and on the other are the offices. Upon
occasions of entertainments, these
rooms will make very handy cloak
rooms and avoid the climbing of an ex-
ira flight of steps by the guests. The
stairs and hall are carpeted in vivid
crimson. On the main floor there is n
large drawing-room at the left, the
music room adjoining it in the rear,
and across the hall the sitting-room,
library, and dining-room. These last
have sunny aspect, facing both the
east and the south. The house is now
robed in summer dress, which, with the
outside awnings, indicate it's comfort
able arrangement for warm weather
occupancy.
The drawing-room has green tints on
the walls, and with the dainty furni-
ture covering makes an ideal summer
parlor. The music room, adjoining, is
in pale yellow tints. The floors are cov-
cred by fine rugs. A grand piano and
an upright, with mandolins, guitars
and other musical instruments, are
most conspicuous in its furnishings and
portray the musical taste of the fam
lily. The paintings on the walls of all
the rooms on the main floor are the
most valued parts of it's ornamental
treasures. They have been brought on
from the Detroit home of the Algers,
and represent many of the most pleas
ing examples of modern artists. Here
and there in the various rooms are ex-
quisite pieces of fine china, carved
ivory and other bric-a-brac, which
give luxurious home touch to the sur
roundngs.

though the position was certainly IA
vorable for such a result. Instructive
ly grasped the rope that was hanging
down beside me and hung on for dear
life.
The aeronaut above me apparently
knew nothing of what was going on
below his car, for the dry-goods and
house-furnishing circulars continued to
futter down past me in undiminished
quantities.
"He had doubtless heard great cry
from the crowd, but interpreted it prob
ably as occasioned by the sight of a
balloon ascension, which was then
more of novelty in that region than it
would be to-day.
After minute I was able to get my
foot out of the loop in which it had
caught, and so to let myself down into
an upright position. The balloon was
rising steadily. and there was no more
jerking and apparent motion to the rope
than there would have been had it
been suspended from high beam in
barn, and this alone made it possible
for me to cling to it.
II now found that could twist one
leg around the rope, and by resting one
foot on the rope where it crossed the
other foot, l could very nearly remove
the weight from my hands, which was
n great relief. knew then that had
a chance to get out of the fix was in,
for could now alternately rest my
hands and my feet.
treasured by this, looked up at the
balloon above me, and conceived the
idea of climbing up to it, for, like most
country boys, was expert at climbing.
"Thc rope had caught me before half
of it had been taken up from the
ground, so that the distance up to the car
was much less than it might have been.
l found no very great difficulty in grad
ually climbing up to position under
the car, stopping very often to rest.
ut has always seemed strange to me
that the man above didn't discover
meanwhile that he had boy hanging
on behind but it can perhaps be ex-
planned by the fact that he was an old
hand at the business, and, as sailing
through the air was no novelty to him,
he didn't spend any time looking at the
scenery below.
He sat there in the middle of the car,
calmly tossing out circulars and smok-
ing his pipe, while climbed up toward

his compatriots. He graduated at an
English university and studied law in
England. He also took up international
relations. On his return to his native
land he settled in Hong Kong, and was
the first native lawyer to practice there.
Mr.. Wo attained celebrity in his profess
sion and was also so fortunate as to
acquire fair amount of money by his
law practice.
He was one of the representatives of
China who acted with Ii Hung Chang
in the making of the Chinese-Japanese
treaty. He was appointed special am
bassador for the episode of it's ratifica-
ton, and now has been sent to this
country. Mr.. Wo is regarded as a great
Asiatic, and the choice of a man
of so modern mind and education Is
a distinct compliment to this country.
By some it is regarded as the outcome
of Prince Lis observations when in this
country. From the inside comes in
formation that his appointment had
been determined upon before Ii even
left China, and it is known that the
wise old statesman made many in
quiries, even mentioning Mr.. Wo in such
a way as to emphasize the importance
of this new appointment. Mr.. Wo Is
said to have q Christian wife.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Its Introduction Would simplify All
Farm transactions.


A time-honored absurdity is found in
the British corn (grain) markets, says
Texas Farm and Ranch. All kinds of
grain are sold in quarters. If the quar-
ter meant any particular quantity, the
same at all times and with all sub
stances, we could learn to realize what
the term meant. But the weight of
the quarter depends upon what kind
of grain is intended. If it is of wheat
ter; if the wheat is English grown 504
pounds make quarter; if it should
be Russian barley, 420 pounds are one
quarter; Russian oats are sold in quar-
ters of 504pounds. Oats from elsewhere,
320 pounds make one quarter; English
and Scotch oats go $50 pounds per quar-
ter. Schoolboys are taught that 112
pounds make one hundredweight, 20
hundredweight one ton, and that four
quarters equal one ton. Hence the quar-,
ter should be $50 pounds. Much confur
sion results in this country from read.
ing the English corn markets, and no
wonder. And yet we have a similar
custom: For instance, bushel of corn
is Sc pounds, n bushel of oats is 32
pounds and bushel of wheat is 60. The
English paradox is easily explained on
the same principles; the quarter varies
with the specific gravity of the sub
stance weighed. Let us get the beam
out of our own eyes before we make too
much ado about the mote in that of our
neighbor, John Bull.
