A few well-kncwn places indicate
your course, and are an ever-chang-

Sounds reach one from the earth
with curious distinctness Even at
considerable height l have often
heard a dog barking from what
seemed startlinglys near, when we
were really several thousand feet up,
and a man on road would only
seem! a tiny black speck at that dis
tance. The toot of a motor-horn and
church bells are other sounds that
carry very far, and constantly bring
back to ones memory the existence OF
life on earth. Personally I do not
care for the middle course in balloon
ing and my tastes are divided be-
tween trailing" and getting above
the clouds. In the second case.
there, indeed, the magic charm OF
ballooning grips you in full, and you
feel E in another world and another
life. The sun shines hotly In blue
sky, while beneath your little car and
all around it is a wonderland OF
clouds, over and through which you
gently sail, the shadow of the balloon
distinctly outlined on the white mass
of vapor. Some of the effects are
marvellous; every cloud has a differ
ent colot and a different shape l

Spitzbergen descending to the sea.
Then little detached white clouds,
like small icebergs, would float across
the darker mist, completing the il

sail round the edge of some huge.

delightful peeps of smooth stretches.

feel quite a sadness when it is
necessary to leave cloud-land, and
sink through the mist to see the
world, with it's white roads and
clumps of trees, becoming visible
once more.
l am often asked what trailing"
means. The trail-rope, or guide-rope,
that hangs from the balloon is gen

All Strictly Confidential. =
1t Is the rule of the bureau that
everything connected with it's work
should be strictly confidential, and all
telegrams and letters are handled
With every precautton to insure Sc
crecy. 4
Col. Holland. however, who has
charge of the work in New York, by
way of illustrating the matter III
which the bureau was conducted,
gave a reporter a synopsis of one
lays work. r

over h,> misfortune and meditating

which he coIll blow cnt his brains

him to surrender .ao weapon, which
was fully loaded. Temporary employ
ment as an elevator man was provided
for him. and he is interested in his
occupation. The bureau, meanwhile,
IS trying to get him work more suited
to his training

Feared Bankruptcy.

rather expensive. AS it was that of a
business man 65 years old, who was
troubled for fear that his capital
would not be sufficient to tide him
over duh season. He was also suf-
ferinG from the stress and worry in
cldent to business venture, so that
he was on the point OF suicide. The
colonel was not prepared to assist
him with the somewhat large sum he
required. but dissuaded him from do

1t is a story which is often told in
industrial life which found it's coun.

nothing for him but the almshouse or

ne could not expect to keep pace with
Younger men. He was comforted and
treasured and has abandoned his idea
of self-destruction.

owned by the relative who was af

that he would be prosecuted. He was

Meet Individual Cases.
1t is dihhcult to prescribe accurately
for all the cases which come up be-
fore them, but the officers of the br-
reau have to vary the remedies. to
meet individual cases.. .
Practically the same tactics are
pursued in the women's department
of the bureau. which is under the SUI
perVision Of Brigadier Bovill. Women
of all ages who are tired and despond~
ent have been received and aided,
Among them are widows who have
been left with families dependent
upon them.
Attention was recently called to
that OF woman who was the sup
port OF five small children. Her body
was found by her five-year-old daugh-
ter hanging by a rope in a closet.
The child gave tho alarm and a man
rushed in from tho street and cut the
woman down. Pefore she died she
uttered the one word 'Tired"
We could have helped that wo-
man. said Col Holland, IF she had
told us of her troubles, for we could
have temporarily taken charge of two
or three or all of the children for that
matter, in our Cherry Tree Home, in
Spring Valley. We could have also
taken care of her and kept her with
them there in the country unit, she
gathered health and strength. Then
she could have returned to the city
with one or two of the children and
left the others to be cared for by the
Salvation Army"
Plans for CrippIes.
COL Holland said that many of the
men who were respondent through
lack OF employment were American
mechanics who were deprived of a
chance to gain a livelihood through
the loss of finger or a portion Of
the hand.
I'VE have special arrangements
said he. for caring for those who are
handicapped in that way, and often
they can find occupations suited to
them in which the defects would not
seriously interfere"
BACK OF the anti-suicide bureau is
the whole organization of the Saliva
ton Army, which has homes, asy-
lums, farms and colonies, in which it
can help the unfortunate, as we'll as
schools and training bureaus. 1t also
CONDUCTS employment agencies and is
in touch with many large firms and

hospitals and with the medical pro-
fession is also close. so that it can

struction.

upon the situation, says the causes
of suicide are almost without num-

CARE OF CUT GLASS.
Sensitiveness Makes Precaution a
Matter OF Necessity.

Owing to the deepness of the
grooves made in cut glass, is is very
sensitive to changes of temperature.
Never hold cut glass bowl that has
contained cold salad or dessert under
the warm water faucet to rinse. Do
no even take a piece of good cut glass
from hot room into cold one sud-
denly. Always temper a cut glass
dish before filling it.
II it is to contain ice cream, have
it previously filed with cold water,
then cold water with ice, and do the
same tempering in the opposite direc-
ton, when it is. to contain hot things
Be careful that chunks of ice in a
punch bowl do not hit the sides of
the bowl too hard. In cleaning cut
glass wash with mild soap and saw
dust, brushing the crevices with a
brush procured for that purpose.

Never Dress in Hurry.

Never let it be your boast that you
can dress in five minutes, says a
writer. No woman who has any re-
spect for her appearance or her
clothes will attempt to dress in even
double that time. 1t is as true in
dressing as in anything else that
where there is the more haste there
is the less speed. 1t is particularly
trying for a woman to dress in a
hurry. She gets f1urried and in her
attempt to fasten her brooch the pin
sticks into her finger. She gets cross
over this and then everything goes
wrong. Buttons come off shoes or
laces break, gloves and veil are not
to be found until boxes and drawers
have been turned upside down, and
then the missing articles have been
found on the dressing table. When
she does at last get ready she is con-
scious of appearing at her worst, be-
ing hot and angry with herself ar
everybody else.
