ted good deal at being a burden

that Prince Charles came often and
one day brought his wife, who gra'

that as soon as he was able he would
become their guest at the castle.

Then one day Adria, blushing and
stammering, seeming to have almost

BRAZIL'S FLYING MAN,
Rejoicing In the South American Re-
public Over the Success of
SantOs-DumOnt

In Brazil there is much rejoicing over
the success of NJ. Santos-Dumont with
his flying ship, and the reason is given
in letter which has been sent to the
fortunate aeronaut by the minister of
public instruction in Brazil. In the
name of President Campos Sales, the
minister, in this letter, congratulates
NJ. Santos-Dumont on having added a
new luster to the glory of Brazil, and
on having completed the work inaug-
urated by Bartholomew de Gusmao,
says the New York Herald.
Though his name and work are now
known to few, Gusmao was a noted
scientist in his own day. A Brazilian
by birth and a Jesuit priest by pro-
fession, he flourished during the first
years of the eighteenth century, and
his principal achievement was a fly
ing machine. The descriptions of this
machine, as found in old chronicles,
are not very clear, but it was evidently
shaped like a bird and had in the in
terror series of tubes, through which
the wind passed and inflated an enor-
nous pauch or balloon. The machine.
being buoyant, readily went aloft as
soon as the paunch was filled with air
Father Gusmao took several trips
with this machine, and on August g..
1909, he went in it from the turret
of Casa da India, in Lisbon, as far as
Terreire de Pace, which is at a con-
siderable distance. An immense crowd
saw him perform this feat, and the
people of Lisbon from that moment
styled him 80 Voador," which means
"The Flying Man."
Soon afterward the Inquisition
charged him with being a magician
and threw him into prison. Freed from
captivity by his friends, he went to
Spain and died in short time, accord
ing to rumor, being hastened by his
chagrin at the Indifference of the
world to his Inventions

Members of Congress and Mourning.

Fifty years ago members of con-
gress and of the senate would have
been compelled by public opinion to
wear Grape on their arms for thirty
days after the death of a president" +"
remarked an eX-member who had serv-
ed before the civil war.
"Up to about 1850 whenever a men,
Der Of congress died the resolution of
sympathy with his family invariably
carried with 1t provision that men,
bers should wear mourning. Deaths of
members were of course less frequent,
for the congressional body was nu-
merically smaller. Indeed, the increase
of the membership, which led natural
ly to higher death rate, was the di-
rect cause of abolishing the custom.
"a number of members of congress
now die every year, and it was not
thought advisable to keep members of
the house and senate in practically per-
petual mourning"

talk like ordinary persons, but not
nurses. l have already permitted you
to talk too much. Now bid Adria adieu,
wish her good luck and happiness and
then resign yourself to the commands
of one who is severe and unwavering."
So with kind words Adria went, and
Elsa took up the work.
The good farmer Volner and his wife
seemed to stand much in awe of their
pretty niece, for she had her own way
in the house.
From the capacious kitchen came
wonderful dainties and appetizing
dishes made by the new nurse. The
water from the spring soon tasted
sweeter ir handed by her in the thin
little drinking glass. Her step was
light as air, her voice soft and sweet,
her touch gentle and soothing.
"What a nursew thought Wallace a
hundred times day. Il thought Adria
was perfect, but this one is beyond
even worldly perfection"
But sometimes a peculiar feeling
came over him that he had seen that
face before. 1t appealed to him some
how in way that a face totally un-
known could not. The nurse always
wore her cap, which held captive and
out of sight her wealth of beautiful
hair.
And Wallace grew stronger gradual
ly and thought more and more of his
nurse. One day she brought him a ten
der fowl she had broiled with her own
hands. She poured his wine for him
and set it down on the table Volner
had made.
AS Wallace reached out to take the
wine his hand touched hers. For a
moment he pressed the dainty fingers.
Elsa blushed, but she did not with
draw her hand.
