A BALLOONING CLUB.

Certain well-known Frenchmen inter
ested in ballooning have decided to
found a club with view to promoting
their favorite spoft The preliminary
meeting Of the Aero club as the associa-
ton is to be called was held on Satur-
day on the temporary premises Of the
Automobile club, many of whose men,
bers are to join the new body.
One of the first steps the club proposes
to take is to erect a building in the
neighborhood of Paris in which one or
more balloons will always be kept in a
state of readiness for an immediate as
cent. One of the founders of the club
M. Cresnay, Of Dijon has already pre-
sented it with balloon and with spec
ial apparatus for manufacturing hydro
gen gas. The club intends to encourage
the solution of the various problems
connected with ballooning, and as an in
itial effort in this direction it already
offers prize for an improved system of
producing gas possessing the necessary
qualities for ballooning purposes.
The club, too, will grant certificates to
aeronauts establishing their competence.
Needless to say, the question Of steering
balloons Is a matter to which the club
Among the most prominent promoters of
the Aero club are the Prince d'Orleans,
Hiram Maxim, the Baron de Zuylen de

MIR. RUSKIN AND HIS WORK.
A Personal "Reminiscences.

A Personal Remlnlscence.
The address to Mr. Ruskin, referring
to his economic and artistic work, re-
calls to my mind conversation / once
had with him. 1t was on the occasion
of one Of his last visits to London, now
some ten years ago He talked to me
on that occasion of his work in both
lSinds--of his art criticism, in a light
and bantering way; of his economic crit
icsm, very earnestly and with some bit
terness.
What Mr.. Ruskin says in his books or
elsewhere in disparagement Of his art
criticism need not, of course, be taken
very seriously. His fame as an inter-
prefer Of art and nature is secure; his
position as master Of English is I'M
questioned. He can well afford to laugh
at himself little, to acknowledge his
superficial inconsistencies. to deprecate
the discriminating enthusiasm Of some
Of his admirers On the occasion to
which refer Mr.. Ruskin was staying in
his familiar quarters at Morleys Hotel,
and had Just returned from a e. visit to
the National Gallery when I called.
''The Gallery" he said, sis now greatly

piece of work. Some of my old favor

before. Botticelli's circle of angels, for
instance, is most lovely, and what an

THE DUBLIN DRAWING ROOMS.

1t Is curious to note the difference
between the Dublin drawing rooms and
the Queens drawing rooms as they
are held at Buckingham palace The
Irish court functions take place in the
evening about 10 o'clock, and, what is
a popular departure from the accepted
English custom, light refreshments are
provided before the guests depart
These refreshments are arranged on
buffets down one side of st. Patricks
hall, and are always eaten standing;
there is no Shutdown supper. The throne
room contains chair of state, in front
of which the Lord Lieutenant stands,
with his wife by his side. When any
lady is presented, the Lord Lieutenant
shakes hands with her and kisses her
upon the cheek. She curtsies to him in
return and bows to his wife, as she re-
tires toward the picture gallery. In the
case of lady who is only attending a
drawing room, she receives no kiss.
Men almost invariably accompany their
wives and daughters to a Dublin draw
ing room, and a woman's court dress
has the same long train, with feathers
and VEIL as is the rule here. Many 9TH
er arrangements are similar to those at
Buckingham palace. The hall of the
castle is lined with soldiers and the
staircase with rows of servants in
splendid liveries. Cards are given up
much in the same way as in England;
the first card in the corridor and the
second at the entrance to the throne

CATCHING coin

The old fashioned cold has been
ousted to some extent from it's former
position in domestic medicine by the
modern influenza. An attack of influ-
enza is much better excuse for nom
attendance at the office or shop than a
cold the latter being commonly regard
ed as an accommodation bill drawn by
laziness or idleness. There is unaues-
tionably such thing as a cold-that is
to say, deviation from health obviously
consequent upon and due to, exposure
to cold and damp. The initial sensation
of cold is followed up by more or less
pronounced physical discomfort, posi-
bly, by more definite signs and symp-
toms of bronchitis or other disease a
frfgore With that prediction for in
exorable logic which characterizes the
undiscerning, the average citizen re-
CARDS every illness beginning with a
chill as a cold, losing sight of the fact
that there are chllls--i. e., sensations of
cold-whch are in nowise due to the
action Of the low temperature. This
vulgar error has been productive of Sc
rfous consequences in more than one d.
rection.
Nowadays, and rightly, we are all for
fresh air. We fear no foe save the
ubiquitous microbe, and we fight him
with fire and poison, with results that
amply suffice to justify this war out
rage. 1t may, on the other hand be a
person with a weak chest who expert
ences Chill" and, as it is theoreti-
cally impossible ever to exclude the in
fluence Of cold, he or she attributes the
systems which follow-the cough, the
sweating, the expectoraton, etc-to
incautious exposure, whereas the chill
merely heralded rise of temperature
incidental to an outburst of tuberculous
disease 4r
1t would surprise many intelligent
people to be told that chill is a sign
that there is fever, and that sweating
is usually a sign that the fever Is abat-
ing. Yet such is the unvarnished fact,
and it would be well for it to be gener-
ally known. Cold is merely debilitat-
ing agent, the effects whereof will vary
according to the individual 1t throws
a strain on the organic machinery and
the weakest part gives. If the machine
as a whole is in good trim. nothing hap
pens beyond a little temporary discom-
fort. In rheumatic person it may de-
termine pains in the joints; in another
bronchitis; in third, kidney trouble;
and so on--in short it picks out the
weak spots, and converts weakness into
disease Colds are VIGOROUSLY infec- |
tious, and the places where colds are
most frequently caught are places
where ventilation is defective and |
where microbes abound, as in certain |
theatres, churches, railway carriages,
and the like, so that even the symp-
toms Of. the OLD fashioned cold are for 7
the most part the result of microbial |
infection and not Of exposure.-F'rom |
