To Garry Freight by
Air-Ship.
ssssssssssssssssesesseesse .
Alr-Snlp.

Germany will soon be leading the
world in air-ship construction If the
enthusiasm over the sport, or indus
try as some consider it, continues to
be as widespread as it Is to-day.
The Zeppelin air-ship made several
notable performances before its mis-
hap; the Wright Brothers are urged
to give some exhibitions with their
aeroplane at Berlin; a company was
recently organized to promote an in
ter-city aerial passenger service in
Zeppelin machines; and now dirigi-
BILE balloon for the carrying Of freight
is proposed.
Professor Schuette, of the Techni-
cal High School at Danzig, Prussia, is
the inventor of the new cargo balloon
soon to be constructed at that place.
The gas bag will be 80 feet long,
with a diameter of about fifty feet
and the skeleton frame is to have
double diagonal wooden ribs instead
of the customary aluminium ones. A
car 120 long by twelve and half
feet wide will be carried, and the
power for driving the propeller will
be generated by two gas motors of
$50 horse power each. BY the sub
stftution of wood for aluminium, the
ability Of the machine to carry weight
is much increased, and, in addition to
the equipment and crew, 1000 to
$500 pounds of freight may be taken.
1t is estimated that an average speed
of fifty miles per hour attained by
the new rigib!e.-Harper's Weekly.

Fines i'm Germany.

The German workman who the
other day was fined at one of our po-
lice courts probably considered that
he had a genuine grievance when he
complained that. in addition to the
fine, his compulsory attendance at
the court had lost him days pay,
For they do these things better-at
any rate from the delinquent's point
of view-in the fatherland. For
what may be described as a trivial
offense, the worker is not compelled
to attend the court, and the amount
of the fine is collected from him at
his house by policeman. In the
event of a more serious, though still
comparatively venial, breach of the
law, punishable by short term Of
imprisonment, justice is satisfied ii

WHERE KINDNESS WON.

Dick was very little donkey to
have such a will of his own. You
wouldn't have thought, unless you
knew donkeys, that this small, brown
animal with the bright eyes and long
ears could be so stubborn, says the
Sunbeam. He stood there in the
road and refused to go one step
farther; neither would he turn his
head toward home.
20, dear! What bad donkey!'
exclaimed little BERTHE in despair.
How shall we ever be able to make
him move?"
Her brother Lloyd, with the conf
dence of eight years. ran to the side
of the road and brought back
short stick, with which he industri-
ously switched the obstinate ANNALS s
sides. Alas! the donkey bore it bet
ter than he did, and he soon stopped,
breathless.
After a moments thought BERTHE,
as a last resort, drew an apple from a
basket in the little cart, and held
it up in front of Dicks nose. For a
single instant he shifted at the rosy
fruit. then moved forward obediently
and took it in his mouth.
"All aboard" cried Lloyd, and he
and his sister clambered upon the
seat.
And if you will believe it, whether
he had forgotten his late i'll temper.
or because the kindness of his good
little mistress had conquered him,
Dick set off at a lively pace. still
munching the apple, and they had no
more trouble with him during the re-
mainder of the drive.-Home Herald.

SCISSOR of them, from whose custody
he might (and doubtless would) have
some difficulty in extracting them.
With the aid of a confederate, he
therefore planned a simple scheme
for acquiring them; the only thing
necessary to the success of which was
that Adair should take the right hand
of the street. There was no reason,
indeed, why he should take the left
hand but if he had chanced to cross
the road, the scheme would have
been a failure. In that case Adair
would have simply walked down the
river stairs where the boat was
awaiting him; as it was, instead of
embarking on the Thames, he crossed
the Styx.
Dawson's confederate on the other
side of the way was thought to have
given some signal for the bolt of the
cellar trap to be withdrawn just as
Adair stepped upon it, when as we
know, he suddenly disappeared from
the sight of the detective. At all
events he was found there dead.
Sophy was received at the Laurels
with open arms, but not at all like
a returned prodigal. Matters were
made to go on as much as possible
exactly the same as they had been
used to do; those half a dozen years
of absence and misery were treated
as though she had been away on a
weeks visit. and was now come home
again. 50 many stitches cannot, how
ever, be dropped in the web of life
without leaving very ugly hole.
The contrast between what was and
what had been was sharp and clear
to her, for all their care, as a jagged
rock against summer sky. Bitter
est of all were her reflections upon
what might have been. Even for
Sophy's sake Robert could not con-
ceal his love when Alma came-a
girl dutiful as beautiful, tender as
pure, born for the admiration of all,
for the devotion of one. Not one
spark of jealousy of her glowed in
Sophy's bosom; but in her supreme
happiness she recognized all that she
herself had so recklessly thrown
away. She did not envy her as the
chosen bride of an honorable and
worthy young fellow-'all these
things had ceased to be" with her as
though she was on her dying bed
but the gifts which made her so pre-
eious in her eyes; some of these, at
least, she had had in her power to
bestow, and she had flung them into
the gutter. Young as she still was in
years, the joys of youth were al
ready over with her; it was though
she belonged to two generations
back, and for the future could only
hope to find her happiness in the
happiness of others.
After Roberts marriage he re-
turned to India once more, from
whence, at intervals, two baby boys
were forwarded to the care of grand
papa and Aunt Maria; it is needless
to say that they were received with
rapture, but they never put little
Willie's nose out of joint in the af-
fections of the canon.
Boys may come,' he was wont to
say, as, bending over some picture
book together, he mingled his silver
with her golden hair, "and even girls
may come; but they will never come
between me and the girl who made
me her heir" And they never did.

THE EGG RECORD.

l.. X. Felch thinks the egg record
of a hen should not be measured by
numbers, but rather by weight OF
egg. His contention is right Quail
ty and not quantity should be the
governing rule. In letter to the
writer he submitted the following
results for the month of March:
Thirteen Plymouth Rocks laid 27S
eggs, at 21.S average per hen; III.
teen Plymouth Rocks. 334 eggs, av-
erase 22.4; forty Plymouth Rocks,
S64 eggs, average 21.7; weight OF
the eggs, twenty-six ounces per
Gozen. Brahmas, eleven pullets,
three of which were hatched August
8, 1S5 eggs, average 16.9; ten Brah-
mas. 1876 eggs, average 1911; weight
of eggs, thirty-two ounces per dozen;
71s and 6 1a ounces for single egg
has been known to be produced. He
has four hens that are producing
eggs to weigh thirty-seven ounces
per dozen. The number of eggs a
hen lays is only half the record;
weight is the true test as food sup
ply. Twenty eggs at thirty-two
ounces per dozen Is three pounds,
five and a half ounces; twenty-five
eggs at twenty-six ounces per dozen
is two pounds, eleven and two
third ounces. The Brahmas. though
they lay the least in number. lay
twenty-one and third. per cent. the
greater amount of food supply

CROP TREATMENT.

Crop bound is caused by the TAX
ing into the crop of some material
which the fowl is unable to digest
and pass on, such as straw, old, long.
tough grass, musty grain and such
things. Some fowls eat SO much that
they over-distend their crops and suf-
fer from chronic crop bound. When
noticed early, before there Is too
much constitutional trouble from the
condition, the crop should be washed
out carefully by passing into it the
rubber tube of a fountain syringe.
The syringe should have been filled
with quite warm water. Grasp the
throat of the fowl with the right
hand, holding the fowl in the left.
Let water run until crop is we'll
filed, and by compression on throat
prevent the water running out.
When full remove tube. and, holding
fowl by legs in left hand, head down
ward, compress the crop with right
hand, expelling its contents. This
can be repeated a number of times
until crop is emptied.-Indianapolis

THE TURTLES CUNNING.

Although not credited with any
high degree Of Intelligence, says the
London Globe, the turtle when about
to deposit it's eggs exhibits considera-
BILE cunning.
1t scoops out hole as if to prepare
repository for its eggs, but in order
to delude birds and other enemies
the turtle throws the sand again into
the hole, leaving the surface rough
and waddles off to another spot
where it repeats the process. Some
times this is done three times, and
eventually the eggs are laid in an ex-
cavation within a few yards of the
sham nest, the surface being
smoothed and flattened down.
When hunting for the eggs the
Queensland blacks probe the sand in
the vicinity of one of the sham nests
and are usually successful.

THE MEDAL OF HONOR.

One day last March the room of
the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington witnessed
an unusual scene-the presentation
of medal of honor to young Irish
woman in recognition of her remark
able heroism five years ago, at the
terrible General Slocum disaster.
The young woman of to-day was
then only a girl of fourteen, scarcely
a year over from Ireland, and con-
valescing in the Contagious Disease
Hospital at North Broth Island from
severe attack of scarlet fever. 1t
was hardly to be expected that one
of life's great tests should come to
girl of fourteen, ill in hospital. To
this girl, suddenly into the quiet day,
! came the sight of the blazing vessel
with its awful agony.
Without hesitating a second, en-
tirely forgetful of her own weakness,
she dashed down the stairs, out to
the shore and into the water, seized
a baby which had just been thrown
from the vessel, and waded with it
to the shore. She returned for an
other and another, until, in all, she
had saved nine children; then she
herself tainted and would have been
drowned had she not been seen and
rescued by one of the firemen from
the hospital. A nearly fatal relapse
followed and when she recovered
from that, she went to Washington,
leaving no trace of her whereabouts.
Meantime, Representative Goulden,
of New York, having learned the
story of her heroism, Immediately
began search for her, but it was not
until a short time ago that she was
discovered in a training school for
nurses in Washington. Mr.. Goulden
at once applied to the government
for medal of honor and the SEQUEL
was the little ceremony in the Capt.
tol in March.
Quick wit, heroism and self-sacri-
flee make a good foundation for sue
cess in the profession this young
woman has chosen, as we'll as in any
other she might choose. The fine
little incident only emphasizes afresh
the capacity for heroism which burns
clear and bright and ready for any
emergency in the heart of the COM
mon duties of common days; not in
the men and women alone. but often
even in children. Heroism is the
souls high heritage and the ranks of
those who wear it nobly are always
larger than we know-Youth's Com
panion.

Hard TO Be Holy.

Rigid Sabbatarianism as enforced
at Harrodsburg, in Kentucky, seems
to be attended with difficulties. 1t is.
of course, a simple matter for man
to avoid cooking food, to go without
shaving or washing or any kind oe
work.
1t is possible even to neglect to
feed the poultry, but there is one
thing over which a difficulty has aris-
en-. You cannot prevent the hens
laying eggs on Sunday without re-
sorting to such drastic measures as
may injure their health.
Like other cacklers, the feathered
matrons of Harrodsburg roosts will
lay on the day of rest, and this has
given rise to much searching of heart.
The pastor, however, has solved the
difficulty. He has cut the gordian
knot.
The deacons of the chapels confis-
cate all the eggs laid on Sunday and
apply them as they think advisable
for the good Of the cause-even to
strengthening the officials for their
share in the task. Could anything
be more just or simple?-Modern So
ciety.
