The ne" capes and wraps are exceedinely

to stay in fashion for quite a while Many
OF the caDes are made of peau dc sole. some
are OF satin. but those that are seen at
present are 1f tGffeta silk in all the queer

green, for instance. trimmed with narrow
pIack velvet ribbon. The capes fit close
over the shoulders. but broaden out around
the waist Sometimes they are made with
a double cape. bat most have but one and
the trimming consists of narrow rufflc of
the same silk. edged ut either side with the
black velvet ribbon put on quite fun. Tho

WAR BALLOONING.
The Revival of Aerenautics Dates
From the Frnnco-Prussian War.
From the Forum

The Revival of Aer0nautics Dates
From the Franco-Prussian War.
From the Forum.
The revival of the science of aeronautics
dates from the Franco -Prussian war. Paris
hemmed in on all sides and cut off entirely
from the outer world, sought to re-eStab-
lish communication with the provinces, and
to this end was compelled to employ the
balloon. Rampon, then postmaster of Paris,
organized complete system of aerial COM
munication, and no fewer than siXty-four
balloons were dispatched during the siege.
These balloons carried in all 152 passen-
gers, more than 1900 600 letters and several
hundred portfolios. The voyage of Gam
BETA was a memorable one. DESTROYS of
reaching the provinces in order that he
might complete arrangements for the ma
tional defense, yet unable to break through
the ~anks of the beleaguerng army, he was
at last compelled to make his escape from
Paris in a balloon.
Some of the balloons sent out during the
siege We're lost in the ocean, others were
captured by the enemy, who soon became
expert in the art, and a few met with ad
ventures of the most singular nature.
Worthy of mention in the latter regard is
the voyage of the aeronauts Roter and
Meier who ascended from Paris at II D. m.
on November "a 1870, and landed upon one
next day. Caught in one of the violent
autumnal storms, they were carried in
single night with terrific velocity over
France and the North sea to the shores OF
Scandinavia. All attempts to utilize for
defensive purposes the balloons sent out
from Paris failed, owing, not to a scarcity
of mentor aeronautic companies had been
formed throughout the provinces-but to
lack of material. Nor did the German de-
tachment organized during the war upon
French models, operate effectively. After
a few ascensions it was disbanded before
Paris in October, 1870.
"A complete reorganization of the aero
naut.c department of France did not take
place until 1879. This reorganization was
due to the energy of Gambetta. The school
at Meudon was reopened and series of
appropriations was set apart for the pur-
pose of forming number of balloon parns,
each of which consisted of windlass, with
and baggage wagon for the transporta-
tion of material

Cemeteries of Great Cities.

From the North American Review.
The dead of London require an annual
waste of twenty-three acres of valuable
ground. If 1900 corpses are crowded into
the space of cEe acre, the limit in the case
of the most populated, graveyard. and If
we accept the present rate. of mortality,
twenty per 1,000 Inhabitants, as the stand
ard, New York, with d population OF g.
100000. would have to provide room for
7O,00 co-pses, and would require annually
seventeen and a half acres to bury them
in. Unless the custom is changed the avail
able room in the vicinity of all large cities
will gradually be absorbed by remains of
the dead. ss u
In considering the welfare of individuals
tie expenditure of one may Benefit another,
but citizens should be treated on equal
terms With the exception of Greenwood,
almost all cemeteries used In the neighbor-
tt cd of New York are either poorly man
aged by churches or administered for the
benefit of few fortunate shareholders
The rural cemetery law, as amended in
1879 allows them to divide among them
selves the net profits from the sale CT
plots. Realizing about $4,000 fer an acre,
which hardly cost 81, 600, their investments
bring large revenues and are esteemed VAL
liable. BY assuming the guise of benevo-
lent societies owners succeeded in evading
payment of the taxes which their less for
tunate neighbcrs are obliged to pay. The
trustees ere never called upon to make re-
ports to the state, and they give but scanty
information to their stockholders.

HOW ANTS MAKE SLAVES.
Warrior Ants Which EnsIaye the
Small and Weaker Species.
From the Strard.


The warrior ant is a slave-making spe-
cies- 1t is large red kind, and it makes
raids against nests of the small yellow
turf ant, mild and docile race, large
numbers of which it carries off to act as
servants
But it does not steal fully grown turf
ants. Their habits are formed and they
would be useless for such purpose What
the warrior ant wants is raw material
which can be turned into thoroughly we'll
trained servants. So it merely kills the
adult ants which strive to oppose its az
gression and contents Itself with trund-
ling home to its own nest the larvae and
pupae of the turf ants which il has nut TO
Il ght and VaEQushed.
In time these gruDS and cocoors produre
ful!-grown yellow workers, which can be
taught by the warrior ants to act as nurses

THE GREAT "STAKED PLANS
Vast Changes Wrought During the
Past Sixteen Years.

From the GlobeDemCcr:t.
The vast changes that have been made
cut on the great "Staked Plains the past
sixteen years are phenomenal That large
expanse of unbroken prairie derived its
name from the MeXicans and Indians, who
called it "Llano Estacado' long before the
advent of the Americans. The scarcity OF
water during the summer months rendered
it dangerous matter to attempt the jour
ney across them, and it is Known that
many caravans Of Mexicans in early days
making their way from the Rio Grande
river into New Mexico perished among
their sandy wastes. For many years after
the country on every side had been in a
measure settled up, the plains were looked
upon as q sort Of forbidden region, the
epitome of everything that was inhospita-
bic in nature ana totally useless for sup
plying any of the wants Of man. Those
adventurous individuals who ventured far
into its dangerous depths reported II d
treeless, silent waste, without q sign of
life, except the buzzards that circled high
in the heavens, OF the coyote that hurried
across the trail ana disappeared like a
fash among the sagebrush and tall grass
that lined the banks Of the dry arToyos.
Huge whirlwinds would appear to block
the way for a time, and then hurry on. as
if disturbed by tie presence of men in
those grim so!itudes. In the early MORN
ing wreaths of dust went spinning around
before the breoz as if some uesert sands
Rad arisel and had just begun to envelop
the great eXpanse.
The last case known of any one perishing
on the plains was in 1890 when two Amer
leans and one Mexican, sheep herder, at
tempted to make their way from Pecos
City to Amarillo in midsummer, and, being
poorly provisioned with water and losing
the trail as well, soon died of thirst, as
did their horses. peculiar feature OF
this accident was that, although the
coyotes and buzzards had picked the bones
of the Americans clean, the body of the
Mexican HAD baked and dried in the sun
and was practically intact, owing to the
fact that the diet of the MeXicans on the
border is always composed In great part
of chile and red pepper. substances appar-
emily not appreciated by either the buzz
ards or the coyotes. Since that day no
other fatality that is known has occurred
on the plains. The progressive rancher
and cattleman has year by year encroached
on this vast area, sinking wells, running
wire fences and rearing better breed OF
stock than is to be seen today anywhere
in Texas. Water is fouad from twenty to
100 feet and in abundance. The attitude
of the ''Staked Plains" district insures the
health of the stock the year around and
fever, anthrax or b,ackleg are seldom
heard of in that region. Such great cattle
magnates as Colonel Slaughter OF Dallas
John Scharbauer of Fort Worth, Z. u
Goodnight of Midland, and many others
of equal note, are now heavily Interested
in this once forbidden territory.

GUARD THE CHILDREN'S EARS.
Serious Harm Often Done Through
the Carelessness of Parents.

From the Philadelphia Times.
William Dalby. has recently written Il
treatise on the preservation of the hearing
in which he speaks with strongest terms OF
Ieprobation of the ''cruel and niquitous
practice of boxing chiidren's ears"
Blows the head of any sort are apt to
be permanently injurious, and any one who
has studied physiology, however superficial
ly. will readily understand how easily a
violent box on the ear may rupture the ear
drum and perhaps produce incurable deaf
ross. There are many such cases on record
and parents who do not understand the
danger OF such chastisement will do we'll to
take heed and avoid it.
1t is more startling to be told that a drop
OF Iaudanum put into the ear to relieve ear
ache may produce permanent trouble; new
ertheieSs il is so. Nothing of any sort
should b" injected into the ear except bI.
