strange thing. I wonder what they would say to the balloons of to-day, could they see them?
 Look at Fig l. It is made of two sheets of tissue paper pasted together tern drawn on 1t and cut out.
 Twelve of these patterns go to make the balloon, and they must be pasted together to make the shape of Fig. ,. There is an opening at the top, which must be covered by a circle of tissue paper. For the bottom, get some wire and twist It into ring, and then turn the edges of the paper round 1t. In this way you have a round opening that will not lose it's shape. Fasten cross wire. to which you have fastened bit of sponge or cotton wool, across this opening, and your balloon is quite ready for flight How is it to be sent up? Here the aid of father must be called in, although I expect that the bsY who can make the balloon properly Rfn be able to do the rest safely. First light q long scroll of brown baper, and hold the opening over it; then, when the balloon is a little infated-blown out-with the warm air, pour spirits of wine on the sponge and put match tc

4 New Game.

Two fans, one for yourself and one for the person whom you are going to play with, and small sponge, are all you need for this game. Toss the sponge in the air, and hit 1t with your fan to your eomrade and he will hit it back to you. At the beginning of the game each person has fifty points, and whoever lets the sponge drop on the floor loses one point The game is kept up until one of the two has no points. He is the loser and the other is the winner.

THE FORESTS OF CU9A.
An Immense Amount of Valuable Timber
 Land In the Island.

Cuba still possesses 16,008,000 acres 3f virgin forest abcunding in valuable timber. none of which is useful as coarse construction lumber. while near- ly every foot would be salable in the United States and bring high prices. Cuban mahogany and cedar are par ;icularly well known in the United States. The mahogany is very hard and shows a handsome grain, and is preferred by many to any other vaTi- sty in common use. The moment Spain irops the reins of government in Cuba and trade relations are re-established with the States there will be a move ment, both inward and outward, of forest products which will have a bene- Hcial effect upon the industry of both countries.
 First to feel the force of this move ment toward rehabjlitating Cuba will be the numbering interests of the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Prior to :hree years ago they looked upon Cuba IS an excellent outlet for the coarse end of the mill cuts, and since that market has been closed to permit the prosecution of a most hideous and re- golting war, the coarser grades of yell low pine produced at coast points have been marketed with great difficulty and seldom at a profit. It is unfortunately true that Cuba will be unable to real- tze so promptly from movement to re-establish her mahogany and cedar trade, for it is claimed by prominent operators that the industry has been so completely crippled by the ravages of war that a period of time running from twelve to eighteen months will be required before logs can be landed at ports in this country. It is hoped that all this may be accomplished without shedding an additional drop of blood. Prior to the war the annual net reve- hue of Cuba was $80,000,oO0. With peace restored it would hardly be bet ter than 0,000, ,000. But under a con- seryadye form of government she would gain strength and prestige from her closer relations with the United States.

UNHEALTHY BED CLOTHES.
Rendered Deadly by Devices Of the Man-

 ufacturer to Increase Weight
 Science! Thy name is adulteration. Another terror has been added to exist cnce by the revelation made by an English trade paper of the processes by which certain manufacturers "fl1' the sheets and blankets with which they flood the market. We are told chat af- ter a piece of waste sheeting has been woven the cloth is passed over a trough containing a solution of zinc, sulphate of magnesia (eommonly known as Ep- som salts) and water. This is called sprinkler. A revolving brush plays spray of these noxious ingredients upon the cloth, with the result that ffty-pound piece after the operation weighs seven and one-half pounds more than when it left the loom. AS the goods are sold by the pound the object is evident. But what about the pur- chaser? A piece cuts up into ten pairs of sheets. Each pair, therefore, con- tains three-quarters of a pound of misunderstanding material. The re- suits are appalling. As soon as a wet day comes the sheets become damp and the luekless wight who sleeps be- tween them is apt to contract chill that may send him to the bourne whence no traveller returns. Even if suspicious are aroused and he boldly casts aside the sheets and wraps him. self in the blankets it may avail him nothing. For the blanket makers have learned the trick, and the same ill-re- suits may ensue. Next we shall hear that the counterpane makers are equal Iy astute, and the timid sleeper may be driven to provide himself with the wool en sleeping bags that suggest travels in the furthest north. The only advantage Of these filled" or heavily sized sheets and blankets is that they are death to insects. But if they kill the sleeper as well as the pulex irritants-to say nothing of the eimexlectularius- boots it?

Transparency of the Sen.

Near the Bermudas the sea is ex- tremely transparent, so that the fisher men can readily see the horns of the Holsters protruding from their hiding places in the rocks at a considerable depth. To entice the crustaceans from their crannies they tie lot of snails in ball and dangle them in front of the cautious lobster.

What Harvey Said at the Ban
Quet,

Having heard some comment pro
and con, as to a portion of Mr.. Tap
pans address at the Burns Club, we
give the portion commented OH, taken
verbatum from his manuscript
Ladies and gentleman, it is un-
doubtedly needless for me to remind
you that we are here to commemorate
what was good and true and noble i'll
his character and not to pattern after
his weaknesses"
"a friend of mine, and one, too,
whom respect, accos,ed me with the
inquiry, Are you going TO the big
drunk llere was an assumption that
the orld had not moved for hundred
years; that it was still the custom Us
then, TO commemorate the memory of
bonnie ScOtland's bard by drunken
c4rOuSals."
"'ro me it seems incredible that on oc-
casiOns like this, in time long gone past,
men should have gathered TO cOmmem-
crate the birth and lite-work of this
noble soul by debauchery and drunken
carousal; and if it be true that this was
the case at one time, we, as intelligent
citizens, may congratulate ourselves
that the moral sentiment of our COM
munitieS has long since set the seal of
its disapproval upon anything of that
sort"
Ladies and gentlemen, | speak not
as a temperance crank, for that ] am
not, and | as well as others connected
with this meeting shall expect you all
us intelligent citizens to enjoy yourself
YES TO the utmost from the good things
of life set before you; but do want to
resent the inSinuatiOn that the moral
sentiment of this community will toll
crate carousal. debauchery, or drunken
ness; or that there is any inclination on
the part of anybody connected with
this club or meeting to thus brutaize
or degrade our meeting III honor of

was simply defense of the club, and
the announced determination that al
connected with it should recogniz" the
wide difference between the customs ot
a past century and those of the present
&c vel as TO make it plain that the
club was not organized for "rhe big
drunk" alluded to.
While quite forcible the language
used went no further than this. We
may add that this meeting established
the fact that it was success and
creditable from every standpoint.

How Murray Skinned Sutton.

Between running mighty good
weekly newspaper and licking stamps
for Port luronites, John Murray, of
the Sunday Herald, is usually too busy
to devote any attention to the walls of
disgruntled politicians at Marine city,
but last week he took ten minutes off
to skin Editor Sutton, as follows:
Yes. yes, the Yale Hustler should let
up OH Representative kingott. as he is
only poor half-witted German, whose
associations with Port Huron pO It'll
clans has ruined his character - Marine
City Reporter.
John Kingott can stand this sort of
thing. But can Frank sutton? Mr..
KingOtt is manly fellow, who enjoys
the respect and confidence of his
neighbors. They elected him supervis-
or and then sent him to the legislature.
True. he is German, hut since when
did it become a disgrace to have kim
ship with the great Teuton race
What license has Frank Sutton to
sneer at John Kingott? John never
lost his pantaloOns for smuggling.
John has succeeded where the Marine
City editor failed. If a commission
was appointed to inquire into the men-
tai equipment of the two men tomor-
row it wouldn't be John who would be
consigned to the Home of the Feeble
Minded. What insnlence for fat-wit-
ted fellow like Sutton to sneer at John
Kingottl Why, compared to the Mar
ine City editor the old Mussey super
visor is mountain to dung hill. Our
thanks are due to James q. Blaine for
this apt illustration. It's harsh but it's

students Make n Success of the Mess
Hall PIan-Other' Matters.

Athens. Ga, Jan. pa number of the
university boys are by actual experiment
demonstrating the fact that under the
mess hall system a university education
can be placed within the reach of all the
aspiring poor young men in the state.
Twenty-Five students have established
mess hall in large building in the Cam
pus, the faculty giving them the use of
the building and equiping the kitchen and
dining room for them. They have hired
a matron, Mrs Mary Lane, formerly of
the Girls Normal and Industrial College
a Milledgeville. paying her $25 per month.
They have good table board. good service,
clean table linen, and, in fact, live com
fortably on $50 per month. When the
cold weather leaves this amount will be
reduced to $3.50.
Commencement the board of trustees
Will be asked to furnish a larger building
and to pay the matron's salary, so that
the advantages of the mess hall system
may be extended to a large number of
students. This plan will enable a young
man to reduce his expenses and the uni
versity each year to less than 800
