QUEER SENSATIONS
UP IN A BALLOON

One Of the first questions which !
am usually asked by persons seeking
Information about balloons is, What
Is the sensation Of going I'D In a bal

Y, s. A. I VIII anticipate this same
inquiry OF the readers Of this article.
and state for their Information that
Ia free balloon I have not noticed any
peculiar physical sensation which can
be described. II would be like trying
20 describe standing still as a sensa-
ton. The impression. on ascending ia
free balloon. is more an optical flu
sioni the ascent IS so slow and gentle
that II cannot be felt. and one has the
impression that the balloon is rnotfon-
less and the earth gradually dropujua
away. All the noises and shouts OF
The people become fainter and die out.
As tho altitude increases hills and val

seems nat. like a beautiful coIored
map, showing cultivated fields. forests.

The greater part or the time a balloon
is moving up or down, but the motion
IS not apparent, and II requires a stat
oscope 10 indicate whether the balloon
IS ascending or descending. II a con.

Many persons have offered the advice
that free balloons would he Of no value

intimated that the present use OF
them IS simply time wasted. This
may be an appropriate place TO state
that the principal object in free hal

give officers the advantage Of eIeman-

value. because a captive balloon or a

The Next Democratic Platform.

Meeting many friends in the house
of representatives today Mr.. Bryan
talked at some length concerning
what he thought might be the next
platform of the democratic party
He did not at all insist upon any of
his own personal views, but express
ed them by way Of suggestion to
such of the representatives as he
met. The general point of view
seemed to be taat the three points to
be most strongly emphasized in the
platform were, the tariff, the regula-
tion of railroads and the trusts. II
Is rather had commentary upon
our American legislative system that
the chief representatives Of the min
ority are hopeless Of any revision of
the tariff. This Is not BECAUSE they
know that they are in the minority
because there are on the other side
of the house many men who agree
with them. They doubt the possibil.
lty of tariff reform, or even of reyis-
ion only because they know that un-
der the domination of Speaker Can
non they can never get a hearing on
the floor of the house. One of the
advantages of the election of a dem
ocratic president, whoever he may
be, would be that the house of rep
resentatiyes would be again a delib-
erative body 1t is easy to say that
Speaker Crisp held the reins as
tightly as any later speaker, but If
democracy shall win this year, it will
be a different type of government
that will be enforced.

Striking Effect in
Irish Crochet Work

In the new application of Irish
crochet the woman who likes to do
fancy work that will produce a strik-
ing effect without too much labor has
the means at hand. The expert work
er will make the patterns herself and
produce new designs. while the more
amateurish one can unpick the pat
terms from the old pieces of valuable
lace that have become too worn for
use.
Irish crochet, -appliqued, as its name
implies, consists of patterns of Irish
crochet lace appliqued on Brussels
net. The net, which must be the best
procurable, is cut to the required
shape, then a coarse thread is darned
through the mesh of the net about
one-eighth of an inch from the edge
all around. This line represents the
Strengthening line used in ordinary
Irish crochet lace and is worked over
in the same way. On this ground
work of net the patterns are appll-
qued by arranging and tacking them
carefully in place, and afterwards sew
ing them neatly all around on the
back of the work.
Many women possess old pieces of
Irish crochet which regretfully are
cast aside as unwearable on account
Of the filling having worn away, as
this is the portion that always wears
out first If they will examine the
lace they probably will find many Of
the patterns still are good and can be
given a new lease of life by unpicking
from them the remains of the sur
rounding filling and after carefully
cleaning them applique them. Heavy
Irish crochet lace is not SO suitable
as the lighter makes, and the finer the
net the lighter the lace patterns must
be.
For a bolero, jacket, or dress the
strongest make of Brussels net is the
best. Care must be taken to have the
patterns perfectly clean before apply
ing them to the net and to keep the
work from fingermarks in the process
OF making. This easily can be done
by keeping a small piece of tissue pa
per between the fingers and the work
Long strips of lace or insertion should
have the finished portion rolled up and
incased in paper as soon as 1t is
| worked. In this way 1t will be kept
free from dust and look as clean and
| crisp as IL should when finished.

Baby Iron Now the Thing.

Up-to.date Miss Boston numbers
among the necessities of life baby
ironing board and an iron or two. This
Is because of the evil ways of the
killed skirt. The killed skirt needs
constant attention. 1t is very beauti
tul when well pressed and very ugly
when out of shape. To sit down in a
wet pleated skirt is fatal to its lines
and to see the ruses which women in
street cars use to avoid doing this
especially when some gallant gentle
man arises to give up his seat to one
is very amusing. The skirt of the day
isn't easy to press, but given an iron
ing board. a moderately hot iron ano
plenty of time, II can be done.

Hair Is Now Dressed
in Many New Ways

The hair Is now being dressed with
less width from side to side and more
height in the center, hint particu-
larly valuable to the moon-faced girl,
who ought not to increase the width
of her face by putting her hair out
unduly above her ears.
Fascinatingly pretty as the curl is,
1t is by no means surprising that 1t
should maintain its supremacy, though
II need not be the sole motif OF a
chevelure design. Puffs and the plat
are mingled in elegant confusion, and
the wave that Is required is the heavy
Marcel ondule.
Girls OF about 16 who have not yet
reached the age of putting their hair
up are wearing 1t parted and caught
together in festoons or curtains upon
the brow, to use an old-fashioned ex.
preston IL connection with this form
of dressing.
In some cases the hair is plated at
the back and looped in the nape of the
neck beneath a huge ribbon bow,
black for the blonde girl, and cholo.
late for the nut-brown maid Other.
wise the front hair is drawn to the
back beneath the restraining influ.
ence of comb and the tresses are al.
lowed to fow carelessly over the
shoulders.
Individual fancy is able to run riot
this winter over any number of pos.
sible decorations for the hair. There
are beautiful combs being sold at all
prices, from those of dark or blonde
tortoiseshell powdered. latticed and
festooned with diamonds to the Span
ish ones that are so fashionable
damascened in gold upon Toledo steel.
At night wreaths of skeleton leaves
in gold, silver or steel make very
pretty decoration, and the large single
| gold or silver rose with foliage to
match is justihably patronized on ac
count of its beauty and its becoming
attributes to women of all ages.
The softly waving plume of cut os
trich and marabout is as popular as
ever for evening wear, and just lately
there has arisen a tendency for wear
ing long brush or comet aigrettes
pointing downwards from behind tn,
ear to the crown of the shoulder, in
stead of upwards, as the formel
manner was.

STEER LEADS BAND OF WOLVES
Maurauders Terrorize Farmers in the
Northwest.

Vancouver, B. CA weird tale
comes from Alberni, one of the north
ern districts where white men are few
and the beasts of the forest generally
reign supreme. The hero of this story
is a big steer that escaped from his
herd some time past and is now real
outlaw, preying upon his fellow crea-
lures and warning against the white
man.
This big steer has in some remark.
able way obtained dictatorship over a
huge pack of wolves and is now their
leader in raids upon civilization.
Recently the wolves under their
strange leader raided the farm of F.
Muller. The steer charged big
fence. knocked it down by his weight,
and then with his horns and hoofs
battered in the doors to the barn and
sheds He made a nice meal off the
grain bin, while the wolves attacked
the calves and chickens and left the
place looking as If cyclone had
struck II.
Many men declare they have fired
at the steer and hit him. So frequent
and costly have become the depreda'
tons of the outlaw steer and his
friends the wolves that a big force OF
men has organized and will endeavor
to round up and exterminate the
crew.
