An Associated Press dispatch
from Augusta, Georgia, says /:
"Dr. Julian II. Thomas Of New
York today made here most
daring ascent in his balloon Mir
vana. Owing to the location of
the fair grounds some distance
from the city, the bag had to be
inflated some miles away and it
was intended to tow it to the
grounds up the canal, The
stream proved too narrow and
the bag caught in trees and was
more or less damaged. DR..
Thomas mounted into the net
work and cut cut away the en-
tangled basket. He arose like a
shot and travelled in a northwest
erly direction to an estimated
height of 5000 feet. When
about seven miles from Augusta
the valve which had been dam
aged Monday and had been patch
ed began leaking and the aero
naut shot downward rapidly. He
endeavored to Tighten the ship
by cutting off his shoes, heavy
leather leggings, and threw away
his coat and contents of his peck
cts. The descent was but little
checked and he came down in
the middle of cotton field. The

Every father and mother who

scepter, kingdom under charge.
Be careful how you strike him
across the head Earring the brain.
What you say to him will be
centennial and millennial, and a
hundred years and a thousand
years will not stop the echo and
re-echo. Do not say, at is only
a child" Rather say, at is only
an immortal" 1t is only a mas
terpiece of Jehovad. 1t is only a
being that shall out live sun and
moon and stars and ages quad
rillennial. God has infinite re-
sources and He can give presents
Of great value, but. when He
fwants- to give the richest pos
sible gift to a household He
looks around all the worlds and
all the universe and then gives
a child. The greatest present
that God ever gave our world
He gave over nineteen hundred
years ago, and He gave it ON a
Christmas night, and it was of
such value that Heaven adjourn
ed for a recess and came down
and broke through the clouds to
lock at it. Yea, in all ages God
has honored childhood. He
makes almost every picture a
failure unless there be a child,
either playing on the floor, oil
looking through the window or
sitting on the lap, gazing into
the face of the mother.

Honour the dear mother.
Time has scattered snowy flakes
on her brow, plowed deep fur
rows on her cheek, but is she not
sweet and beautiful now? The
lips are thin and shrunken, but
those are the lips which have
kissed many q hot tear from the
childish cheeks, and they are the
sweetest lips in the world. The
eye is dim, yet it glows with the
soft radiance that can neve fade.
All! yes she is a dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run
out, but feeble as she is, she will
go farther and reach down lower,
for you than any other on earth.
You cannot enter prison whose
bars can keep her out; you can
not mount a scatfold to high for
her to reach, that she may kiss
and bless you in evidence of her
deathless love. When the world
shall despise and forsake you,
when it leaves you by the way
side to perish unnoticed, the
dear mother will gather you to
her arms and tell you all your
virtues, until you almost forget
that your soul is disfgured with
vices, Love her tenderly, and
cheer her declining years with
holy devotion

BLIND PEOPLES QUEER HOBBIES
Interesting Ways In Which They Pass
Their Time.
From Tit Bits.

From Tit Bits
The writer recently had the pleasure of
meeting a certain well known and highly
gifted oculist who numbers among his pa
TENTS some of the wealthiest blind people
In the world and who volunteered some
interesting information relative to the diff
ferent ways in which those who have lost
their sight pass their time
one of the most curious hobbies among
my blind PATIENTS said the specialist, 'Is
practised by lady who lost her sight SIX
teen years ago. She is really remark
able florist. and her flower beds, her
wineries and her hothouses are worthy of

raniums and set the plants with remark

tances with a small rule and seldom Ia

immense amount of enjoyment out of her

forgets the loss of her sight. She Is con-

blind people may learn gardening, and when
she does | am sure 1t will be a great
boon
Then have another patient a man this
time. who lives in the country and who
passes his time looking after score or
more of beehives. He manages them with
marvellous skill. Is remarkably successful

Complaint Of Treatment.
When Mr.. Lorimer asked the witness II
he had any complaint to make as to his
treatment as witness. he replied that the
treatment of the witness the day before by
certain members of the committee and the
treatment OF himself yesterday by these
members was strikingly different espe-
ciaIly when the testimony OF Mr.. Wilson
tended to raise direct question of veeac-

Mr.. Wilson.

a very filthy one; the hog was put up on
the rack and he believed the hog was never

Belief and knowledge.
Chairman Wadsworth persisted that the
witness might believe" the hog was not
cleaned. but he did not know It,
At this point Mr.. Wilson was allowed to
state that there were men scraping and
cleaning these hogs and that none were
allowed in the cooling room that were not
perfectly clean.
This was not case for scraping, 1t was
one for cleaning with an antiseptic fluid"

Chairman Wadsworth persisted thatsa4is

NELL admitted he had not followed the hog
to ascertain the fact he had stated.
Going back to the statement regarding
the tuberculosis spittle on the floor, Mr.
Wadsworth insisted that Mr. NELL did not
know as fact that these people had tuber-
