THE NEW ~BALLOONlNG.
IT Takes Courage to Soar Astride a
Skeleton Framework.

1t Takes Courage to Soar Astride a
Skeleton Framework.
To stand in the canvas house which
shelters a diribigle balloon and to ex-
anime the craft itself gives one a new
idea of the courage n steady nerves
required for aerial navigation.
One considers just what it means
to mount 600 feet above solid earth,
ascending or descending at an angle
of forty-five degrees, buffeted by
breezes which may catch the nose of
the balloon and make it buck like a
frightened horse or fling it against
chimney o spire.
All the time one is holding on
merely by hooking ones heels against
a two-inCh oak strip-less support
than a stirrup-with one hand on a
similar bar; at the mercy of cords,
not ropes, half an inch in diameter
and a bubble Of japanese silk and
hydrogen gas which may burst or
take fire, and a gasoline motor which
may suddenly stop running, leaving
you to be whirled like a leaf at the
mere of the winds of heaven.
The balloon idea to which we are
more accustomed has at least some
approach to our beloved %earthborn no.
tions of solid materiability, says a
writer in Fly. The wicker basket has
strength and size, the ropes are
heavier and the larger gas envelope
gives one a greater sense Of safety.
Ballooning of the older type is a
fairly we'll established occupation.
But to mount into the heavens astride
a skeleton framework, to dive and
soar and wheel in circles, to beat into
the wind and keep ones balance in
the heavier gusts, with the aid of a
lateral rudder, calls for spirit and
imagination of a new order.

WHERE PEOPLE LIVE LONG.
Men Of Seventy Not Regarded as Old
Simple Life and Longevity.

In Norfolk there are in every vii
lage individuals of more than eighty
years of age, and not in~frequently one
or two owe ninety, and those Of sev.
enty and upward are regarded as not
even old. Many farm laborcrs of sew
enty are quite hale and hearty, work
ing from early morning up to 5 and 6
o'clock in the evening, and some are
so vigorous as to earn a full mans
wages.
And the women in the country
(writes a correspondent are more
tenacious of life perhaps than are the
men. In n village personally known
to me-, containing about 300 people,
within the past six months have died
three women of more than ninety
years of age, the oldest of these being
no less than ninety-siX. In another
Norfolk village, with inhabitants to
the number of 400. there live a man
of n~inety-fv". " y oman of ninety, a
CT Il - -hine, a woman of
eiE : sever and several of both
SEXES over eighty. In yet another
village there is a blacksmith aged
ninety-siI and the widow of a country
medical practitioner whose years
mount up to ninety-two.
This longevity of the Norfolk peas
ant, comments the Lancet, has a very
interesting pathological side to it. The
chief enemy of the farm laborer Of
the Eastern counties from the stand
point of health is rheumatism. Not
many reach I've middle age without
having been the victims of rheuma-
tism, and a large number are Grip
pied in their old age by this disease,
but in spite of this the average of lon
gevity seems to be very high, al
though as we'll as rheumatism he has
to contend with the lack of adequate
housing accommodation and want Of
proper sanitary arrangements. That
TO eat sparinely of plain wholesome
food, to be much in the open air and
to work sufficiently to occupy the
mind and to exercise the body will
enable a man to defy more or less the
evils of environment would seem to
be shown by the toughness of the
| Norfolk laborer.

Two Are Cabmen, One an ~Inakeeper
and Another a Tcbacconist.
So far as baronetcies are concern
ed, being lower in grade than a peer
age, there are a number of men who
have successfully made good their
claims, but still have to work for
their living. For instance, says Town
and Country, Sir Thomas Tyrrell Of
Burton on Trent, who traces his de-
scent from the Sir Walter Tyrrell
whose arrow killed William Rufus in
the New Forest, is a cabman.
There is also a cabman at Hobart
IN Tasmania who ~rejoices in the name
of Sir George Augustus Jervis Mere
dyth, eleventh baroRet. Burke's Peer
age recognizes him and that is half
the battle, but there is no property.
Sir Harry Yelverton Goring may be
found any day in the week serving
half-penny packets of workmen's to-
bacco over a little counter at Tam
worth, in the Pottery district, and
Sir Henry Echlin is the landlord OF
the Rose and Crown inn at Wooburn
Green, in Buckinghamshire.
Before Sir Henry took to serving
beer he was a footman, although he
has descended from an ancient Irish
family whose estates have been dissi-
pated, as so many Irish estates have
been before now, leaving him nothing
but the barren title, which occasion
ally attracts to the Rose and Crown
idle curiosity seekers who wish to see
a real baronet serving bitter beer to
laborers. The superintendent of the
Whitby Union poorhouse is Sir John
Lawson whose ancestors were made
baronets some hundreds of years ago.

"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any aihment peculiar
to her sex will ask her ~neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a womans expert
ence with Lydia E. Pinkhamis Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston. Texas.-"w When I first began taking Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound L was a total wreck. 1 had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. L had tried several dOctOrsm medicines, nut
nothing did me any good.
"For three years L lived on medicines and thought L would
never get well, when 1 read an advertisement of Lydia Il" Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try 1t.
"My husband got mt one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me 81 much good 1 continued its use. 1 am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
81 advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland ST., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

A Star Turn.

The boy stood on the poop Of a
schooner beside the captain on a
stormy night. Wishing to consult his
chart, the captain said to the boy:
Here, take the wheel. I'll be back
in a few minutes. Steer by that star,
and you will be all right"
The boy began to steer the vessel,
and soon got her u of her course,
The star appeared at the stern instead
of ahead, and, with a feeling of pride.
he shouted down to the captain:
Come up and find me another star,
I've passed that one!"

Judge D. w. Bond Of the Middlesex
superior criminal court, in charging a
jury recently, in speaking of the ques-
ton as to whether the witness had
sufficient light to identify the defend
ant by, referred TO an old case in Eng
land at a time when old fashioned
black gunpowder that made consider
able light when discharged was used.
A woman who happened to be pass

identified the man who fired it by the
light of the flash. The prisoner after
ward verified her testimony by his
confession.
