of Omaha, Neb., and for this purpose
$4,000 of money already appropria ted
has been allotted for fitting up the fort
with all the necessary appliances, in2lud-

Gen. Allen says that he will be
prepared to conduct experiments
with every conceivable kind of
machine offered - and all will be
given trial before board OF
officers-but the department under no
circumstances will purchase plans of
balloons or machines not already put to
practical tests.
Gen. Allen declares his belief this
country was far ahead of any other in
the matter of flying machines. Already.
he said, there had been developed some
which would furnish n few surprises.
1t is stated that the balloon corps Of
the French army numbers at least GOO
men, all expert aeronauts, and it is ex-
pected by the department that before
long the American army will have an
equipment superior to that of any Other
army in the world.

THINK WE'LL OF OTHERS.
A Few Ways in Which We Can Give
Helpful Services.

In the list of helpful services which
we may render others is, first, the think.
ing well of them: next, is the speaking
well of them; third, and last, is doing
well by them.
No one is so poor that he or she may
not help another along by so much as .
kind thought. 1T is a service which no
one is debarred from rendering. The Deo-
pie who think well of us are the people
who help lis most; they help us to think
well of ourselves and TO be the good
thugs they think us. Also, thought pre-
cedes speech and colOrs words and ac-
tions, and the color of speech and action
is dependent upon the character of the
preceding thought. We may load an
other with material benefits, vet. at tbo
same time, let an i'll thought express
itself in word or deed which no material
value can ever balance.
The good thoughts we bestow upon
others have most attractive way of
coming back to the heart that sends
them forth. Kind thoughts are veritable
Noah's doves, bringing back to their
senders olive branches which tell of a
world sweet and faithful, loving and
fruitful.
1t is to our own profit that we should
cultivate the eye for beholding good
qualities in others. That which we
think of and talk about has a way of
migrating itself upon us, and it simply
is the part of wisdom, if not of genuine
atruism,> of selfpreservation and of self
development to see and talk about those
qualities in others which we wish to re-
produce i'll our own characters, and to
be as obliviOus as possible to those we
do not wish to reproduce.
The atmosphere mental, the atmosphere
social, the atmosphere spiritual. tells
upon each of us, insures our growth or
our shrinkage, impresses us vitality,
makes us strong and healthy, or detractS
from us resources and renders us weak
and effete.
With some people we are stimulated,
inspired thoughts and images troop upon
us; we are at our best The mental at
mosphere is charged with intellectual
oxygen. We are amazed to discover its
cffecC upon our powers y teacher in
whom resides this strong magnetic force
sets his class at work, fires them with
enthusiasm, fills them with the joy of
learning, and insensibly smooths the
steepest pathways for their feet.
There are companies, households,
neighborhoods, where certain pitch OF
refinement has been reached, where GER
tain standards obtain, where it is expect
ed of people 10 be sincere, affable, gener-
GUS, noble. The social atmosphere is at
once bracing and restful One cannot
but acknowledge it's influence as genuine
as that of the mountain top or grand
oratOrio.
How careful then should we be to
dwell ever in the heights. We cannot af-
ford to be Indifferent to that which daily
is making us better or worse, richer or
poorer, for this and all times, in this
world and others Washington Star.

THE FALTERING YEAR.

Again the sharp dry rustling of the sedge,
And the sere sod crisp-crackling under
heel;
Again dun clouds that swoop and whirl
and wheel,
And the last bird-fight like an arrowy
wedge;
Again the spray down-leaping from the
ledge
Spun into fairy flakes; again the reel
or storm-shocked pine boughs in a vain
appeal,
And the brave snow-birds twittering from
the hedge.
Again the blazing backlog, and the cheer
OF singing flames, melody that makes
The threat of winter and it's keening
woes
But thin dream gossamer that strains and
breaks,
The while the music leads the faitering
Year
Down its dim path benignly to the close,
