PARIS BALLOON RACE.
Stopped by Ocean Winds Ere Reach
ing Completion.


New York Aug ia dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
The long distance balloon race which
started from the Pare D'Aero station
at Vincennes could not be brought to a
successful conclusion. as the leading
balloons were stopped by the ocean.
The first prize may go to the Comte
of $500 cubic metres capacity the
largest in the competition, descended at
Guerande, in the department of Loire
Inferieure.
NJ Faure. in his balloon, the Aero
Club, OF 1880 metres, landed near
Manets, while the Comte de Castillon de
ST. Victor, in the balloon Centaur, 1850
cubic metres, landed WITHIN sight Of the
ocean near Lorient.
The Temps points out that nothing
would be easier than to avoid races
that must necessarily be such failures.
AS regards distance record, it would
suffice for the committee to have the
option of Transforming the distance
race into a landing contest at a given
spot when wind blows toward the ocean.
This would evoke no complaint, since
the same aeronauts always compete.
On August 10 will take place the con-
test for landing at a given point.
The chances are that the wind will
then blow inland and will be favorable
for the distance races but it will be i'm
possible to take advantage of this cir
cumstance because the nature of the
contest is specified in a hard and fast
programme drawn up months ago.
Nj Emmanuel Anne, who is the secre-
tary of the Aero club, was interviewed
on his areial trip in the Orient of 1,043
cubic metres He said:
I'VE shot up to a height of 1000
metres the wind carried US toward the
south. Then we drifted westward until
we arrived at La Fleche and anchored
as we had no more ballast except what
we were bound to return to Vincennes
with.
several other balloons and we even
conversed with NJ. Faure in the balloon
The Aero Club.
AT a quarter to ten the two balloons
parted company the Orient going to the
west and the Aero Club toward the
northwest with an upper current.
1.-THE other balloons were seen to sep
arate and disappear in different direc-
tons"

DEADLOCK RESUMED.
Concordia Convention Makes Another
Effort to Select Judge.

The Republicans of the judicial dis
trict composed of Washington, Cloud

recorded in the convention several
weeks ago.

leads with Is woes, the strength OF his
county. J. F. Close of Republict, is
next with the IL votes from his county.
Cloud casts votes for Judge f. w.
Sturgess, who has been on the bench
twelve years. Prior to this time Wash
irgton county had the judge for four
teen years. Republic county has the
senator from the district composed OF
Cloud and Republic counties, and
claims to be entitled to the judgeship,
because the county has never had this
office, Cloud and Washington having
captured it since the district was or

A college professor in Maine tells
bow he convinced friend, who did
not believe that beavers could build
aams. He bought baby beaver of o
hunter and sent it to his skeptical
friend.
The creature became great pet in
the house. but showed no signs OF
wanting to build dam, until one
Monday morning leaky pail, full of
water was put on the floor of the back
Kitchen. The beaver was there. He
was only baby to be sure, but the
moment he saw the water oozing out
of crack in the pail he scampered
into the yard, brought in chip and
began his work.
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much astonlshed
at what he saw. He gave orders to
have the pail left where it was, and
the industrious beaver kept at his
work four weeks, when he had built q
solid dam all around the pail. Ami

Hair Dressing Styles.

One of the most absurd ideas we
women are possessed of is that we
must adopt new style of coiffure, no
matter how unbecoming, because it is
the latest thing out, Harriet Hubbard
Aver recently remarked.
Since the pompadour made its ap-
pearance I believe more women have
been sacrificed to the Juggernaut OF
fashion than ever before.
Now, the pompadour is becoming
to women with rather low foreheads
and round faces. 1t ic, in its unmod-
fled form, wretchedly unbecoming to
hollow checked women with high fore
heads.
Before settling on the style of hair
dressing she is to adopt woman should
take an account of her head, face and
figure after this fashion:
A short, fat woman should dress
her hair so that it will give an ap.
pearance of additional height to her
figure.
When the head is round the hair.
dressing should always be high.
A very round head with the hair
gathered in pug at the nape of tine
neck gives q woman an utterly inane,
goose-like look.
The height of the forehead, the
size of the nose. the shape of the head

On one occasion man from Georgia
had been persistent in personal ap-
plication to General Lee for q fu--
Tough. One morning the General
asked his tormentor if he understood
the position of soldier. The latte
said he did. He was ordered to
assume it. General Lee then gave
the command. 'Right about faces
forward march" AS he never gave
the command to 'halt." the Georgian
kept on marching until he got tired;
but this little hint cured him, and his
next application was through the
usual channels.

Far down in Southwestern Arizona,
near Sonora, on the Mexican border,
there is range of mountains which
appears to have but one face OF hard I,
smooth granite. The top Of this bunch
of mountains is in the form of a gigan-
tic basin. Here the rainfall has been
gathering for ages, until quite an ex-
tenslve lake is the result.
The overthrow tumbles into arother
basin below, and SO on through a
series of nine, the last one being near
the ground and on the direct road
from Yuma to Sonora. The lower
tanks are easy of access and are often
drained by travellers and animals.
The great upper tank can only be
approached by circuitous and difficult
climbing. To stranger standing be-
low, the upper lake, of course, has no
existence. In that plain below are
over 200 graves. Scores of human
beings, famishing for water, have eX-
pended their last strength in reaching
this spot, only to find the lower tanks
dry; and, ignorant of the great upper
lake, where thousands of gallons were
to be had for little climbing, have
laid down in despair to die. Later
travellers passing have buried the un-
knowns' remains. and always marked
the grave, Mexican fashion, by cross
of stones.

A Very Funny Force.

ELECTRICITY is funny force" said
the observant motorman to his con-
.luctor as he boarded his car at the
Woodland avenue barn. "The other
night nearly all the current was sud
denly cut off from the wires in the
barn, and after minute came on
again. Soon an odor like that of an
overlooked dinner filled the power
house. On examination two chickens
were found slowly roasting to death
IN the main wire. For hours the
feathered pair had rested in safety on
separate wires. The minute Chan
ticler reached across to give a good
night kiss to his dear Biddy, on an
opposite wire, deadly current was
forced through their bodies, and hence
the odor of roasting chicken. ."-Phila.

ThE E@l@TS OF fRSAl0N,

the general type expressed must be
carefully considered.
A woman with Madonna-like face
is almost sacrilege in puffs and
frizzes. She is quite out of place ex-
cept with her hair in bandeaux.
On the contrary, girl with pug
nose, short upper lip and generally
piquant make up, masquerading in a
Cleo de Merode coiffure, deceives no
one. She is only an imitation of the
type she aims at, and a very palpable
one at that.
It is well to recollect that the hair
dressed forward" as the coiffure ex-
presses it, makes the features appear
to recede. If the features really pro-
ject. the forward style of hair dress
ing modifies this defect and is be-
coming.
In the large engraving six styles of
dressing the hair are shown. They
may be described as follows:
No. Elaborate hair dressing be-
coming only to women of regular fea-
lures.
No. Modification OF the Ma
donna style.
No. 3.-For short women with high
foreheads.
No. 4. Becoming to one with a
long, narrow face.
No. becoming to an oval-faced
woman.
No. 6. becoming to women with
round faces and low foreheads.

With a Deni-Train.

+ A cool gown for summer wear is OF
old-blue crepe de chine. The skirt
has "demi- train" and falls in long
graceful lines. The only decoration
is the groups of fine tucks which are
cunningly managed to make the best
display of the natural lines of the
figure, and to give additional height.
The waist is modified bolero shape
in front, edged with creamy lace,
which accentuates the outline of the
two jacket fronts. The lace seems to
run upward under the armhole from
the deep points in frcnt. A vest of
white chiffon over cream satin shows
its narrow line in front. A high
girdle of old-blue panne velvet rises
beneath the jacket fronts. The plain
