built 90-foot balloon, at cost of
100000 francs.
HE was then more enthusiastic
than ever, but somehow he never sue
ceeded in getting his balloon off the
ground. and he died in Vienna without
accomplishing his object. Now, this
Puskas balloon was designed on ex-
actly the same principles as the one
constructed by Messrs, Filippi and
Macler."
The idea is certainly ingenious, says
M. A. de Cunha, but at the same time
this would be very dangerous airship
for the reason that a machine is used
for the purpose OF keeping it in the air
and in motion, and if this machine
were to break calamity would GER
tainly occur"
Others, on the contrary, are conf
dent that the new airship Will travel
speedily and safely through the air, and
both they and those who disagree with
them are waiting anXiously for the
first test Of the airship, which will be
made near Paris at an early date.

ing inserted. On small stocks a sharp
knife alone is needed.
The work is done as follows: The
place selected for the insertion of the
scions should be where the grain is
straight. The stock is then cut square
off and is split through it's center to
sufficient depth to allow the scion to
be put in place. The cleft should be
held open by the wedgeshaped part
of the chisel Ga large nail will answer
the purpose in small way) until the
scions are inserted, when the wedge is
withdrawn. allowing the stock TO
spring back and hold the scions in
place. If the stock does not spring
back into place it should be drawn
tight against the scions by piece of
string. The number of scions put into
each stock will depend upon its size,
but generally not more than two are
inserted, and on small stocks only one.
1t is absolutely necessary for success
that the inner barks of both scion and
stock come together, as shown in Fig.
/. When inserted the scions should APP
pear as shown in Fig. 2. The scions
should be wedgeshaped for about one

and one-half inches where they go into
the cleft in the stock. They should also
be wedgeshaped crossways, as shown
in Fig. /, so as to bind the inner barks
of scion and stock together. They
should each have two or three buds
above the cleft. The scions must be of
wood of the preceding years growth,
and no older. 1t is important to use
sharp knife for making the cuts.
When the scions are inserted and in
place all the cut surfaces should be
covered with grafting-waX. Clay and
cow-dung well kneaded together in
equal proportions into a stiff mastic
may be used in place of wax, but all
things considered wax is most desir-
able.
A good grafting-wax for general use
may be made as follows: Resin, four
parts by weight; beeswaX, two parts;
tallow, one part. Melt together and
pour into a pail of cold water; then
grease the hands and pull the wax un-
til it is nearly white, in the same way
that molasses-candy is pulled. In APP
plying the wax, place it in warm wa
ter to soften for use if too hard.
Grease the hands, to prevent it stick
ing to them. Grating is generally
performed with greatest certainty
just as growth starts in the spring.
The buds on the scion should not have
started at the time they are inserted.
Plums generally graft best just before
the growth starts.-Farm and Fire

EASILY ACQUIRED FAME.

modest aldermanic candidate, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
The other day | stepped out into
the street and stopped a walk-away

brick wagon. The animal had simply
strayed away while the driver went
to get a glass of beer or something.

THE ART OF GRATING.
Cleft Method Described I'm Detail, To-
gether with Hints on the Prepar-
alton of Grating Wax.

The terms used in grating are
scion, which is the part inserted, and
stock, which is the tree grated upon.
Cleft-grafting is probably more gen
orally used than any other kind. 1t is
commonly performed to change the
bearing of apple, plum and various
other trees and plants. 1t may be used
on very small branches or stocks, but
is best adapted to large branches. The
tools used on larger-sized stocks are a
sharp knife for cutting the scions, a
sharp saw for cutting off the branches
or stems, and a grafting-chisel for
splitting the stocks and for holding
the cleft open while the scions are be-

If you have pimples, letter, eczema or any
disease of the skin or mucous membranes
that can be reached by an outward applca-
ton, it can be cured by using Palmer's Lo-
ton, the greatest beautifer and skin curer,
which should be kept in every household,
ready for any emergency. Palmer's Lotion
Soap possesses all the medicinal properties
of this lotion and should be used in connec-
tion with it, in preference to any other soap,
as it will greatly assist in curing all such
affections. If your druggist doesn't keep
them, send at once to Solon Palmer, 374
Pearl Street, New York, for samples of

To make homemade koumiss, cows
milk should be diluted with one-third

then placed in strong bottles and all

repeatedly shaken, beverage of
great value in cases of digestive dis
