subjected to too sudden a strain, snap ped close to the iron. The frayed end of the rope dangled across the tops of small trees.
 Then the women and the boy played their part in the thrilling drama of air. water and earth. One of the wom- en sprang for the line as 1t passed and clutched 1t with both hands. 1t kept her feet of the ground flor several yards. The other woman ran after her and seized her skirts. Her added weight dragged the machine down q foot or SO, and the first woman got her toes on the ground again. The boy caught I'D with the women and grasp ed their clothing His avoirdupois help ed a little, and the three were gaining control of the balloon when the frame work far above them began to fall in pieces. A long section of tubular steel plunged like an assagal into the earth a short distance from them. Fragz ments of metal and wood followed, and at the same moment the airship, affect ed precisely as If Wild had thrown out so much ballast, began to rise. Its tug dragged women and boy of their feet.
 Wild saw the predicament of those who sought to save him, and he risked all on desperate hazard. He walked toward the front of the ship. though to do so he had to throw his weight on broken parts of the frame. It was with extreme difficulty that he avoided fall ing. but he did, and his weight caused the machine to dip earthward. That eased the pull on the arms of the per sons below and gave them brief breath ing space to brace themselves for the final struggle. Stubbornly, heroically, they clung to the rope, the airship all the while rapidly approaching the lake Then stout tree appeared In their path, and with quick intuition they ran forward and looped the line about the trunk. That gave them leverage to stop the lateral movement of the bal loon. which soon settled to earth, and Wild, none the worse for bis harrow Ing experience, shortly was busy patch ing the broken parts.

That Old Wicker Chair.

To renovate shabby wicker chair first cleanse the wicker thoroughly, using a scrubbing brush and plenty of soap and water. When dry the chair will be greatly improved with a coating or two of green stain. For the seat make cushion of green linen or pret- ty greenish cretonne. Another cushion for the back may be liked, and 1t IS easily made. Make 1t of the same ma terial as the seat cushion and of bag shape, longer than wide. It may be fas- tened to the chair by means of tapes sewed at the top and bottom. If a loose cushion be preferred a pretty yellow linen would look nice and contrast well with the green. Make the case slip fashion, so that 1t may easily be wash ed. An unbleached calico bag will be good enough for the vegetable down with which the cushions are filled.

NAVY IS BIG ENOUGH.

We are glad to see the president at length admitting that our navy is big enough and recommending that only one battleshlp be built each year to replace those lost or become useless In this connection it is we'll to notice that some of the new ships have not reached the water before being de- clared obsolete by the persons who are insistent for the biggest navy and the biggest vessels that the strained resources of great nation can buy, so that America may keep to the front iii the ridiculous race with other mari time powers Whereas a few years ago the most powerful ships know cost two or three millions, such bat tleships as are now planned will cost with their armanent-from $S,00O,000 to s10,00O, ,00o-prodigiou sums which might far better be devoted to per manent improvements than expended for warships that in a few years will be worthless for any purpose. And the strongest reason for checking the wild policy of naval expansion is that the country does not need any more ships for national defense.

we became acquainted with Macauiey and Longfellow and P4es There we first heard of Bryant and Moore, and all the grand old masters, the bards sublime. whose distant footsteps echo down the corridors of time.
 The writer, drinking hrst al ,b;s pierian spring, was encouraged to seek for the sources that sent 1ortn sncb delicious nectar and in this way formed an acquaintance with the best literature of our language Many others, we think, owe te the same books their only acquaint- ance with literature. They enjoyed McGuffey, but, unfortunately for them' selves went no further. They were brought to the edge of g. gold mine, but did not discover it; they came in reach of the promised land, but failed to enter in and take possession.
 There have been other series or readers since, many of them, but none equal to the old McGuffey's. In this case, at least, the oldest was the pest. There has been change without inn proyement The fell spirit of com- mercialism has entered in here, too' hut the so-called advances have too f1eouently proved but backward steps. The publishing houses must make money. the book agent must be paid, the school authorities must have their graft. and between them all the ola readers as well as the old schools have passed away The delightful sto- ries, lovely poems, the innumeraole "speak pieces," the very coinage or the brain of genius, the choicest fruits of the choicest minds, have been forced to give way to the maunderings of mediocrity, pushed off their seats on Parnassus by crowding nobodles and vulgar upstarts. Others may find satisfaction in these, but as for us, give us the old readers and the old girls to read them with.

THE OLD McGuFFEY READERS.

How pleasantly they are recalled
 and what endearjng recollections are
 coniured up by mere mention o1 'he
 name. The schoolroom, with US varied memories of pleasure and paln' of ioys and sorrows, of triumphs ana Accomplishments, of first hopes ana first loyei There arises in full VIC" the face of the old teacher, whose frown was so feared and whose 1aVor was so coveted There was the rivalry of the classes and the still warmer rivalry of the playground, the de- lightful midday meal from baskets the long walk home through the woods and meadows after dismissal. But the old readers are the main things just now, after the lapse of years has brought such cruel changes and the advance of time produced it's inevita- ble disillusionments. Many memories have faded, small incidents have passed away, but the delights Of the first reading of the old McGuffey's s will remain with us to the last. From them was obtained the first glimpse of great literature. the first taste of the excuisite enjoyment to be derived from communion with "the few, the immortal names that were not born to die" How well We remember them hoth as pupil and teacher. How great our oblieation to the wise educator to whom we are indebted for our el1= trance into that educated circle which has proved the chief solaca or a long and troubled life.

. CAR SHED OF NEW UNION DEPOT AND SMOKING ROOM ARE GOOD
 FEATURES,
Work Progressing Rapidly, and Will :. ;. Be Hastened to Early
 comp'etien.

One of the most notable features of the new union depot, which is now under course of construction in this city, will be the big car shed, which will be erected just in front of the depot proper and will extend from Alabama street to the intersection of Main on Fourth avenue, along the railway tracks, wholly protecting the tracks for a distance of $40 feet. Work on the shed will not begin, of course, until after the depot building is completed It will afford protec- ton to passengers in time of rain and in time of excessive heat in the sum- mer, and will be an imposing struc- ture, adding much to the proportions of the union station.
 The car shed feature of the station was an afterthought on the part of Mayor H. King White and the city council, as the railway officials had not calculated upon erecting it at all. The enterprising mayor, however, de. cided that it was very essential and so ordered it in the contract with the city.
 Another feature of the union sta tion which owes it's birth to the gen. jus of Mayor White, is the smoking room set apart for the gentlemen. In speaking of this, Mayor White said:
 eve been hanging around depots for forty years, and always find my. self forced on the outside in order to smoke I decided that what time l had to spend here during the remain der of my life should be made more comfortable for myself and the travel ing public by requiring .the railroad company to set apart a room especial ly for smoking, and it was so ordered in the contract" The room will be rot only a convenience but an orna- ment to the structure.
 The work of construction on the new depot goes rapidly forward, the Erickmasons now being at work on the walls, which, on the passenger end of the depot, are already nearly half completed The upper portion of the walls are being constructed of mottled brick of a lighter color than those used in the lower part of the walls. The handsome enameled brick wainseotting inside the building is attracting much attention from spectators who constantly throng about the scene of operations
 The foundations for the new Iron Mountain freight depot have nearly been completed, and are about ready 1 for the brickmasCns.
 Work on the paving of Fourth ave. nuc is progressing nicely.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
N Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is mol drug at ali, but simply absoros Il. gases and impurities always presf''4 in the stomach and intestines and a, ries them out of the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath afte, smoking, drinking or after eating on icns or other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; f disinfecfs the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in enc form or another but probalv the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lczenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tastina lozenses. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 Tho daily use of these lozenses will soon tell ia q much improved conai- ton cf the general health, hettor com- tloXion, sweeter breath aud pure food and the beauty of it is, that ne possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.

 all he could ao to save himself from falling. and it N,:s wholly impossible for him to work tie levers.
 Wild. who is an electrician of Chca- go, took his life in his hands more en- phatically even than the average aero naut when he went up in this ship, for it was an untried craft so far as real flight was concerned. He had made several attempts to fly it. but had not lifted it thirty yards from the ground. But on the day in question he attained height of 2,5OO feet. He ascended near Grand Crossing and traversed that suburb of Chicago in his mad dash through the air. It was an suspicious start, for the big machine responded instantly to his every touch, and so picturesque was the uptake that the thousands watching from the ground broke into tumultuous cheers. Wil9 waved his hands as the balloon scared He had perfect control of the tiller, and it was with q majestic movement that the giant bird swept to the south
 But his gasoline gave out when he was more than a quarter of a mile in the air. and the propeller thereby became useless. The whirrng blades slowed down and speedily stopped revolving Nothing was wrong with the steering apparatus. It simply was of no avail the moment the aeronaut could not make headway. WilG's airship was adrift. The best rudder in the work couldn't help either craft and. just as q sea vessel so adrift would be swept by the tides against q craggy shore. so was the airship being whrled by the winds up. up to the heecy rocks. be- yond which waited a fate sure as death by drowning-death by suffocaton.
 Wild saw his peril sooner than the crowd did.

genuine admixture of Nathanial
Barry and Dunstan Kirke. Honest
farm boys, such as David Bartlett, are
not rare, nor, unfortunately, are gos-

If Hi Holler, the Pickwickian chore

Squire Bartlett learns from Miss Per-
