AN oLD.TIME ASCENT.

Tremendous excitement was caused when London's first balloon went LID nearly a century and quarter ago. The balloon, manned by young Italian named Vincent Lunardi, ascended from Moorfields, then an open space of ground, on Sept. IS, 1784 in the presence of more than 100, ,000 .specta- tors All business was suspended, the king himself setting the example by adjourning a cabinet council that hap pened to be sitting. Vast crowds fol- lowed the balloons coarse, some on horseback, in carts, in ehaises, but mostly on foot. The Great North Road. above which the aeronaut sailed for some distance, was a roaring river of humanity. Many were hurt in the crush, but the only fatality recorded was the death from fright of an old country woman, who, coming out of her cottage to see what the excitement was about, beheld the balloon just above her head. On the other hand Lunardi undoubtedly saved one mans life, a jury bringing in a verdict of Hol SulllF OH HDlOF1ouS nlghWay- man in order that they, the prisoner and the judge who was trying, might rush out of court to see the balloon. The areonaut descended eventually near Ware, in Hartfordshire, where his sudden drop from the clouds was the cause of more astonishment and excitement Many of the spectators swooned with fear while others urged the putting Of Lunardi to death there and then on the ground that he must needs be a sorcerer and in league with the Evil one.-Chieago News.

SOME TRICKS oF TRADE.

1.-TWO cents apiece, two for a nickel.r said the storekeeper, and the woman customer promptly bought two and paid her nickel tShe never tunlbled, continued the storekeeper, then .'Real- ly, didn't intend to fool her. it was merely a slip of the tongue We get so used tG doubling the price in order to make sales that it becomes second nature with us. Would you believe that tried for two weeks to sell some can- ned goods at 2 cents a can. but couldn't clean out the lot until rais- ed them to two for a quarter? Women are always looking for something for nothing. something that looks like Q bargain, and we have to accuu,modate them if we want to stay in business. When we fix prices like two for a quarter we can always make wamen believe that they get 26 cents worth. though they really pay an extra cent. When we sell something at 59 cents any woman will believe that the price ought to be 62s cents instead of SC, or 5S, and therefore you will sell mora coffee and make more money if you sell two pounds for B cents than if you insist on getting 2S cents a pound. It is a trick. but it isn't our fault. The majority of women want it that way. Philadelphia Record

Choice of successor-Not q Part of
 Presidents Business.

The President of the United Sta.es has no more constitutional right, ID more moral right, no more righ: in of ficial honor and in fidelity to the pao- pie, to use his power over the plol;c service or his influence over tha pub lie mind to determine who his success sor shall be than he has to employ the same means to insure his own contin- uance in office. There may be the same plausible excuses for the effort. He may so identify the policies he be- lieves in and has sought t. promote with the well-being and safety of the country that he deems it essential that somebody shall succeed him who will be sure to continue them. But that is not his business If he has so i'm. pressed his policies upon the people that they desire to have them coniin- ued they will see to that. If they pre- fer to see some modification of them, either in the way of more c3nservat- ism or greater radicalism, tha. is equally their right They have in their political organizations tnei2 own advisers and councillors, lea cf their own choice, and they can be trusted to think and act for thom- selves as the result of popular agita- tion and debate. They do not need the fatherly direction and shoull net have the paternal coercion of the President to determine their choice for his successor.
 Now that the President has male 1t clear that he will under no cicculn- stances be a candidate for reelection, it is his duty to make it equally clesar that he has no candidate for the suc- i eession and will not use. or permit u be used the power intrusted to him for the service of the whole people to promote or support the candilaey of any man. There is no grsatar aous of official responsibility than the em- ployment of official power and inau- ence to sway the action of the people in selecting their delegates ta repre- lsentative conventions or in choosing those who are to serve them as legis lators or elective officers.

THE LAND OF oPHIR.
Where Was It? In NIashonaIand,, South
 Arabia or India.

Ono of tho most interesting and im- portant questions concerning biblical sites perpetually invites research and persistently&vades solution. Where is the land of Ophir2' Dr. Karl Peters -at a recent public meeting in Berlin de- clared emphatically that this famous biblical region is located between the Zambesi and Limpopo Rivers, He told his German audience how he has discovered many shafts of ancient gold mines, 500 temples, fortifications and other ruins of Phoenician origin pr, Peters aff1rms that the recently unearthed in Mashonaland belong un- doubtedly to the time of King Solo, mon. His opinion is that ne other part of Africa could have exported the iv- ory. silver and precious stones which are recorded in the Bible as coming from Ophir
 Against this theory, founded as 1t undoubtedly is on very plausible evil dence, Bible students are still likely to maintain, on the testimony of Gen. k, 29, that Ophir was section of South Arabia. Here down to the time of Ezekiel the Phoenicians still landed to procure gold and gems with which those famous sailors and merchants of the ancient world traded in many countries distant from their Syrian shores.
 Many erudite writers have attempt ed to identify Sofala, on the east coast of Africa, with Ophir, while yet others have located it in India. One of the most learned essays written on the subject is from the pen Of Prof. Hom- mel, who argued that the ancient land of gold was Arabia Felix-HomiletiC Re1.iaN

ECCLESIASTICAL EASEMENTS.
Art in Their Work for
 Women.

Ralph Adams Cram devotes his ed-
 itorial in the November number of Christian Art to the vestments of the altar and the clergy, noting what strange compensations the humors of time have brought. In the church of
 Rome, where there has never been de- nial of the principle that recognized
 offering as a field for the exercise of fine art, "the essential and even pre-
 eminent quality of artistic sufticiency
 has been submerged until her modern
 vestments have become the
 very antithesis of beauty and of art,
 while on the other hand, England,
 which for 400 years refused the very name of sacerdotal vestment. and only retained that of the cope in legal and antiquarian way, is now demand ing and obtaining copes and miters,
 chasubles, dalmatics and maniples, al-
 tar frontals, dossals and banners that in their beauty of form and color and the richness of their embroidery and iewelings match we'll with the won derful works of art out of medieval
 ism" As England Heads in the re- creation of Christian architecture, painting sculpture, stained glass and
 industrial art, so,' says Mir. Cram,
 does she in this other and allied art of Vestment making" The use of prop
 CT vestments, he adds, with a serene assurance, lis merely, a matter of logic, good manners and esthetic ap- preciation," and he believes the time has come to work for more consist ent methods of development and for emancipation in the name of art from the ugly substitutes offered by pure ] ly commercial concerns There is no | form of art in which women have achieved greater triumphs and An- glo-Saxon women seem always to have had native aptitude for it. The eor- respondence of Boniface, Aleuin and Aldhelm shows to what pre-eminence English needlewomen had attained i here in the eighth century and, as Mr. Cram says, no branch of art offers to- day a more fascinating field for the skilled and even under proper direc-

KENTUCKY JUSTICE.
How Judge James Hargls Exercised
 His ''HoSs Sense.'

HIS 't1OSS celSe.
 Judge James Hargis of Jackson, cannot be charged by his dearest foe with any lack of the quality of m.nd vulgarly called 'hoss sense" When ne has the drop upon the Commonwealth he knows 1t and is serene and con- fident when facing a jury of his peers or judge of his own to answer a charge of murder. Having been mulct in civil suit for a murder of which he was acquitted in criminal court, and being called upon to defend a similar suit for damages for a mur- der similarly committed, he recognizes that he Is "oop feminist it." He there fore compromises with the plaintiffs and will pay stipulated sum to cover damages resulting from the butehery of Dr, Cox
 Has anything like it ever happened in any other State or in any country civilized, half civilized or'savage? The two young men who were hired to butcher MT. Marcum are in the peni- tentiary for life, the good offices of Uncle Jim" having failed to eXtricate Nephew Curt and his comrade in as- sassination from the tolls. Uncle Jim" has paid the widow of the man who was murdered by Nephew Curt and his comrade. He now agree to pay without fighting the suit for damages, d sum of money to the orphans of Dr. | Cox of whose murder he was acquitted via Sandy Hook. When aEearporation compromises a damage suit it, Is plain that there is no prospect If defending it successfully, and the inference is that it c9nfesses responsibility with Judgment.
 Had Judge Hargis foreseen that the civil courts would tackle him because of his impregnable position in the criminal courts he might have saved himself considerable loss of time, ex- pense and disagreeable publicity by settling with the widows and orphans at the time the murders were done If the late State maladministration had had record otherwise without blot or blemish it's conduct in the Har- gis affair would have been sufficient to cause the defeat of the Democratic party in Kentucky Couri- er-Journal,
