UP IN A BALLOON
The Exhilaration That Comes With .
Trip Through the Air.


Floating softly up into the blue
ocean of air, watching the earth
sink slowly away beneath us and
fade and change quietly to an i'm
mense map spread before our Won
dering eyes-such are the first i'm
pressions of balloon voyagers. The
noisy shouts of those who come to
wish us Bon voyage" become
fainter and fainter until absolute
quiet reigns about us. 1t is so still
that the ticking of the clock in the
barograph is heard noisily counting
the seconds as it traces the line of
our upward flight across the sheet.
Meanwhile the earth map down
below us stretches out larger and
larger. but its details are fading
and becoming blurred. High hills
have changed to fiat surfaces. A
river winds and bends its way
through the duller colors like a tan
gled ribbon of silver. A small lake
sparkles in the sunshine, giving life
and fire to the sober shades about
it. A railway train creeps slowly
along, its trail of smoke streaming
back over it. But as we look it sud-
denly disappears from sight, ap-
parently swallowed up before our
eyes. Then we realize that it has
plunged into the tunnel through a
hill which to us seems only fat
surface. Now it appears again.
coming out on the other side.
So the wonderful scenes come and
60, ever changing, but ever grand
and inspiring-scenes that come
back to us real and vivid. that we
may live them over again in later
days. The cloud effects are at times
the most beautiful of all. After hay-
ing sailed up through these into the
dazzling sunlight we see the snowy
billows just below our car. the shad-
ow of our balloon falling upon their
white surface. This shadow is often
surrounded by halo of rainbow
colors of rare beauty. At such
times one has the feeling of having
left the earth completely and to
have reached some other planet.
The white masses just below seem
to be quite solid and look as though
one might step out of the balloon
and take stroll over them if one
only had snowshoes. The air is
wonderfully clear and pure and
gives one a feeling Of exhilaration
much greater than that enjoyed in
mountain climbing.-Henry B. Her
sey in Century.

INFLUENZA.
Ths Various Forms and Trsatmsa4 q
This infectious Disease.

This Infectious Disease.
Influenza is an exceedingly infec-
tious disease, often confounded
with q common cold, but really an
entirely different affair. 1t attacks
young adults more frequently than
the very old or children, but no age
is exempt, especially during severe
and widespread epidemics.
An attack confers immunity for
. variable period, from a few
months to a year, but after that
there appears to be an increased
susceptibility. Many persons sut-
fer from the disease every year.
Influenza prevails chiefly in late
autumn and winter, although epi-
denies may occur in the summer
especially if the season is cold ard
vet. The disease assumes one OF
three special forms, called from the
parts chiefly affected the respira-
tory, the digestive and the nervous.
In each case the onset is sudden.
with a chill, headache and mental
depression, muscular pains. dizzi-
ness and high fever. Sometimes
there are premonitory symptoms for
. day or two. such as lassitude.
mental torpor, dull headache and
pains in the arms and legs. Soon
after the onset catarrhal symptoms
-sneezing, running at the nose and
watering Of the eyes-make their
appearance In the respiratory
form these increase in severity, and
there are also cough and shortness
of breath. 1t is not uncommon for
this form to develop into pneumo-
mia.
In the digestive form the most
prominent symptoms are nausea
and vomiting or diarrhea and Sc
we're abdominal pains, the first two
indicating involvement of the
stomach, the second two that the
intestines are involved. Sometimes
all are present at once. indicating a
very severe attack.
In the nervous form the head
ache is usually intense. and the
muscular and neuralgia pains are
very severe. Depression, both phys
ical and mental, is prominent
symptom, the dependency often
passing into real melancholia ana
sometimes leading to suicide. In
somnia is common symptom both
during the attack and following it.
Convalescence is tedious, the
body regaining its strength very
slowly and the mind throwing off
,its depression only after weeks or
months.
The most important part Of the
treatment is absolute rest in bed.
The sickroom is to be it possible on
the sunny side Of the house, with
windows kept open both day and
night. The patient should be pro-
tected by light but warm bedclothes
and by a silk nightcap. The diet
should be greatly restricted, espe-
cially while the fever lasts, but wa
ter should be drunk in abundance.
The medicinal treatment naturally
varies with the form which the dis
ease assumes and the parts which 1t
sttacks.-Youth's Companion.

The Greatest Man.

Who is the greatest man who has
ever lived? The question went round
dinner table. and controversy ragged
from the fish onward. There were
two who pumped for julius Caesar,
two more for Napoleon; one, thinking
Of statues, said Shakespeare, and some
body else. who did not get hearing at
all. murmured Buddha at intervals,
while most Of the people present who
did not know Greek said Aeschylus
But Aristotle won easily. 1t was not
a particularly scholarly assemblage,
and one wondered rather how many of
Aristotle's enthusiastic devOtees could
have quoted accurately from him-had
ever read him, indeed-since they left
college. And all the while probably
the greatest man of all ages is pegging
away among US unnoticed, unrecogniz-
ed, while we snapshot and interview
all the little men or go back to some
one who has been dead long enough for
US to find out that we may safely
praise him.-London Chronicle.

If the Earth Should Stop.

The stopping Of a projectile always
results In the generation of heat. The
velocity and weight Of projectile be-
ing known, the amount of heat devel-
oped by its stoppage can be calculated.
In the case of large bodies moving
rapidly the result Of the calculation is
something astounding. For example.
the earth weighs 100000 100000 tons
and travels in its orbits at the rate Of
over eighteen miles a second Should
it strike target strong enough to stop
its motion the heat developed by the
shock would be sufficient not merely to
fuse the earth, but also to reduce a
large portion of it to vapor. 1t has
been calculated that the amount Of
heat generated by a collision so colos-
sal would equal that obtained from
the burning Of fourteen globes of coal
each equal to the earth in size And
should the earth after its stoppage fall
into the sun. as it certainly would do.
the amount of heat developed by its
impact on the sun would be equal to
that generated by the combustion Of
5000 earths of solid carbon.

FIRST MUNICIPAL GOLF LINKS.

Bournemouth was the first local
authority in England to start mu-
nicipal golf links. The charge there
is 25 cents a round. Last year the
receipts were $4,000. Nottingham
has also some fine municipal links,
which are paying well. Sheffield
has just been considering a scheme
for its own links, and the Brighton
corporation has the formation of
golf courses on its list of municipal
undertakings. At Edinburgh a
charge of four cents only is made,
although the two links are among
the finest in the country. Some of
the Scottish burgs have made the
pastime the most popular in their
list by affording cheap facilities for
the game to be played.

TWO GREAT ORATORS.

AS an orator Demosthenes was
head and shoulders above the Ro-
man. The great Athenian stands in
class all by himself, if we are
to believe the consensus Of learned
opinion. Cicero, it is said, prided
himself on his faculty Of extempor-
izing at need, but probably trusted
little to it on great occasions; while
with Demosthenes it was the rule
never to speak without the most
careful preparation. The speeches
of both were spoken without manu-
script. They would never have
made the reputation they did if they
had been tied down to their notes.

The Miqhty Amazon.

The estimated length of the Amazon
from its source in the Andes TO where
it debouches in a mouth forty miles
wide into the Atlantic is 1900 miles.
The story is told of a wrecked vessel
which was drifting, with her crew on
board suffering intense torment for
lack of fresh water, which entered the
mouth Of the Amazon and the suffer
ers could have had fresh water SIM
ply by putting bucket over the side,
but did not know where they were un-
til they got in sight Of the land This
mighty river, up which the tide goes
400 miles, is known in the upper part
OF its course near the Andes as the
Maranon. then in the middle course,
from Tabatinga to the mouth of its
chief affluent, the Rio Negro, as the
Solimoes, while for the rest of its
course its name is Amazonas or Anna
zon. A thousand miles from the sea

One dark night, when all was still,

silver was kept in the same room as
Polly. They crept in as quietly as pos
sible, but before they had time to

that they ran off as fast as their legs
could carry them. And so Polly saved

NOT DRESSED FOR OCCASION
Nlceties of English Etiquette Exem-
plified by Incident in Sport
ing Field.

Richard Harding Davis, one Of
Westchester county's new deputy
sheriffs, came into White Plains
with his kennel master the other
day, says the New York Times
While awaiting his kennel master
outside a dog biscuit shop, Mr..
Harding Davis discussed sport.
Sport is as good here as it is
abroad" he said, ''but abroad they
are more punctilious. Your Eng
lishman must always be correct. He
has a wardrobe of smooth, sleek,
dark clothes for town; wardrobe
of knickers and thick woolens for
Alpine winter sports; a wardrobe
of fannels for the seashore, and so
on, with other wardrobes for deer
stalking, for fox hunting, for driv-
ing, even for smoking and drinking

A New Tonic.

For the woman who is tired out
there has been prescribed a new kind
of stimulant.
This is mixture Of grape juice and
olive oil. One tablespoonful of the
latter to four Of grape juice is taken
after each meal. If the taste of oil is
too strong for some stomachs two
more tablespoonfuls of the grape juice
may be added.
1t is claimed that both serve as ex-
cellent medicine. The dose becomes
very palatable after awhile. 1t should
always be iced. 1t builds up the ap-
petite, and the oil lubricates the stom-
ach in a most beneficial way.

In Hanainq Pictures.

A safe rule to remember when hang
ing pictures is that the middle Of the
picture should be on level with the
eyes. Of course if you are unusually
tall this rule does not hold good. Don't
mix several kinds and types Of pic
lures together. Let all the water col
ors, oils or engravings be placed in
separate rooms or, at any rate, on diff
ferent walls. Above all, do not over
crowd your walls. A few well chosen
pictures look far better than a number
of mediocre ones.

might try this remedy with success:

water. To every gallon Of the boiling
mixture add three gallons of cold wa

mature decay of his faculties. He was
accustomed to shut himself in room
with a quantity Of music paper, pens
and ink and three or four pots of
strong coffee. He would then begin to
write and drink, and when this supply
of coffee was exhausted he would
order more and continue to drink it as
long as he wrote.
He asserted that the coffee was nee

He would rarely rise until midday, and
often when he woke and the weather
was dull or the muse did not inspire
him to write he would turn over again
and after directions to his servant to
be called the following day would sleep
blissfully for another twenty-four
hours.
He did most of his writing In bed.
and before retiring for the night he
would place music paper and a pencil
near his bedside so that he would not
have to move in order to have the
means at hand for writing down the
musical thoughts which came.
1t is told Of him that after writing
part of a beautiful duet for an opera
the sheet on which he was writing fell
to the floor and, caught by a puff of
wind, was soon beyond his reach. He
was too lazy to get up and get it and
thereby disturb the nicely arranged
bedclothes, so he set to work and
wrote another melody, as he could not

after dashing off q short but brilliant
composition he hurried from the room,
