ORIGIN of the Pa1loon.


The word balloon means "a large
ball" TO Montgolier OF Annonay,
France, the invention Of the balloon is
credited. 1t is said that he was led to
turn his attention to balloon making
from the following incident: A French
iaundress, wishing to dry a petticoat
quickly, placed it on a basket work
frame over a stove. To prevent the
heat from escaping by the opening at
the top Of the petticoat she drew the
belt strings closely together and tied
them. Gradually the garment dried
and became lighter, and as the stove
continued to give out heat and rarely
the air concentrated under the basket
work frame the petticoat began to
move and finally rose In the an. This
SO astonished the laundress that she
an to her neighbors and asked them
to come and witness the strange sight.
Montpelier was among those that
came I'm, The petticoat suspended In
midair suggested greater things to
him, and he returned home with
something Ito think about" He at
once began studying works on differ
emit kinds of atmosphere, and the IN

The Actual Majority.

w. L. Crawford was elected over Pro-
lessor ]. ]. Britt as congressman for this
district byya majority of 9e9, a gain of
81 in majority during the past two years
and not q loss of 20 rs currently report.
ed yesterday, the statement being based
on the oficial figures verified and fled
in the Office of the secretary of state at
Raleigh Saturday afternoon by the state
.canvassing board.
The mistake was made in the maiori.
ty in Buncombe county, asmall blot con,
cealing the figure .s1' and making q diff
ference of leo in the accounting.
Congressman Crawford was occupied
nearly all day yesterday in endeavoring
to locate the mistake, Mr.. Malone An
nally discovered it and telephoned the
fact to Mr. Crawford. Mr.. Crawford re-
ceived 2,a8s votes in Buncorhbe county,
whereas the erroneous official statement
showed that he received only 1883 vot-
es. This increases the total cast for
him in the district to 13,169, q majority
of 909 over the II, 260 cast for Mr.. Britt.
Owing to the fact that this is not q
presidential year. both Republican and
Democratic candidates showed a consid-
cradle loss in votes, Mr.. Britt polling 4Q6
less than Judge Ewart, and Mr.. Craw-
ford 3s5 less than was cast " years
ago for Mr.. Gudger.
It was suggested yesterday that the
members Of the ~canvassing board in
Buncombe county should see that this
error is corrected in the official returns
and not allow the figures to show q Re-
publican gain Of 10 instead of . loss OF
2I.-Citizen.

One of the best and simplest means
OF checking a cold at it's onset is to
drink in bed a glass of hot, not warm,
water In which have been placed the
Juice Of a lemon, three or four Jumps
of sugar and large teaspoonful of
pure. glycerin. This dose should be
slipped as hot as possible after the pa
tient is in bed. Taken thus it will
probably induce a flow OF p~erspiratfon
which win throw off the cold. The
simplicity OF this remedy is only equal
ed by its great efficacy. AS with other
remedies, Its chance of working q COM
plete cure is Increased if applied at
the beginning of the complaint.

French officials are said to be par
ticularly strict in their discipline of
tourists. A lately returned traveller
tells several more Of less apocryphal
stories to illustrate the state Of affairs.
An American lost his footing, slipped
down an embankment and fell into a
small, shallow pond. As he scrambled,
dripping, up the embankment to the
footpath he was confronted by an
arm OF the law.
"Your manner Your addressY' de-
manded this uncompromising person,
notebook in hand.
"But 1 FELL" began the astonished
American. ST only
The man waved his arm. "It is for
hidden to battle in this lake." he said
firmly. Il am not here to listen to
extenuating circumstances"

The ambitions OF Mrs. Bethany

band. formerly United Stetes ambaS-

blamed for his removal from the diplo-
matte service OF the United states.
IL Is claimed that Mrs. storer's ambl-
ton was SO intense that she not only
tried 10 bring pressure 90 bear ON the
President for the advancement Of her
husband, but that her personal desire
10 have another American cardinal be-
came objectionable. She advocated
Archbishop ireland for the position.
and asked President Roosevelt 20 use

President Roosevelt wrote In reply
that he would like 20 see the arch-
bishop OF 81 Paul a cardinal aud
spoke very highly OF the archblshop's

but he declared he could not become
