KlnnOsuke In an article on the emper-
~ Of Japan. 1t was original on a

the Japanese emperor wished to limit
his own absolute powers and give us
constitutional liberty, the people did
not want 1t: they did not understand

Man-Carrylng Kites.

Man-carrying by kites was demon
strated for the first time in America
at the Boston-Harvard aviation meet
last September. There 1t was shown
that a man could be sent 200 feet In
the air supported by from six to fif-
teen 1S-foot passenger-carrying kites.
The height to which man can rise (up
to 1000 feeD by this method varies
according to the wind velocity. Army
officers present testified to the great
value of the man-carrying kite for
scouting purposes In time of war. II
is certainly a point in favor of the
plan that such a kite is at its best
when the winds are so strong that
aviators dare not venture out with
their aeroplanes.

Balloon Racing.

The racing of balloons is becoming
one OF the most popular outdoor
sports, and we have hopes that 1t
will be many years before any one
invents an indoor variety of the game.
Exhilarating and exciting to the ex-
treme, the balloon race has caught the
fancy Of the public. The anchors have
also caught several yearling shoats.
barn roofs, stake-and-rider fences
and one of them caught hired man
asleep in the hay field in southern
Indiana and yanked him aloft so sud
denly that he thought it was judgment
day and confessed to a great many
things that had been blamed on other
people. before he realized his error.
The modus operandi of a balloon
race is to assemble the contesting
balloons in flock and fill them with
gas. At a given signal the ropes
are cut and the great bags arise and
dash madly hither and yon In their
efforts to win. Each balloon Is man.

the captain and pilot have to do is to

ed himself from the spire he explains
that he could have stayed up for a
week, but that the gas leaked or he
couldn't find the right current of air
That is one annoyance in the sport
A captain will go up and hunt every
where for the right current, and NOT
be able to lay his hand on It, although
he could have sworn 1t was right
where he thought 1t should be.
The other balloons drop from time
to time in widely separated sections
of the country, speeding In their mad
flight with all the abandon of a bunch
! of empty barrels rolling down hill.
The last balloon to come down wins
the race; the captain and pilot walk
TO the nearest town and wire home for
money.
Already the sporting blood of the
country is being warmed Soon the
thoroughbred balloon viii appear, and
gentlemen farmers will have their
balloon stables. Old balloons that
have taken purses in many con-
test will be rewarded by being turned
out to air for the rest of their
lives.

1t was discovered that q lady who

the discovery of the forgeries received
a letter from a man signing himself

he had been appointed executive sec
rotary of the Christian Brotherhood.
The lady thought 1t was a rare op-
portunity to secure an occupant of
distinction. She had great confidence
in Methodist ministers as she leaned
that way herself, and she answered
favorably. In a few days a large
trunk was forwarded by express. 1t

her rooms to such a nice man. She

How to Keen Youno

The fact that one has lived go or
even for so years, is no reason why
he should feel old
When Longfellow was well along in
years, his head as white as snow. but
his cheeks as red az n rose, an ardent
admirer asked him one day how IL
was that he was able to keep so vigor-
GUS and to write so beautifully
Pointing to a blossoming apple tree
near by the poet replied: That ap
pie tree is very old, but / never saw
prettier blossoms upon it than those
which 1t now bears. The tree grows
a little new wood each year. and I
suppose that It is out OF that new
wood that those blossoms come. Like
the apple tree, try to grow little
new wood each year"
And what Longfellow did we all
ought to do.
We cannot stop the fight of time:
we cannot head on the one event that
happeneth to all; but we can keep on
