Attend Church in a Balloon.

The balloon as means OF con-
veyance to church was utilized
recently by Ohas. j. Gidden and
J. j. Van Valkenberg, in jour
ney of twenty miles from Lowell
to Topsfeld, Mass. The aero
nauts made an early ascension
from Lowell, promising friends
to land near a church and attend
services. After floating before a
west wind for an hour and a half
two church spires were noted
below.
The balloon was brought down
and struck ground 300 feet from
the Methodist Episcopal church
of TopsGeld. The aeronauts
waited until the hour of service
and then joined the congrega
ton. The pastor in his address
referred to the fact that two of
the congregation had dropped
into the service from the skies.

Character in Hair.

Men with fine, light hair are
smart, conceited and, if they do
not marry until late in life, are
apt to grow cross and selfish. If
a girl wishes to select a husband,
she should learn to read his dis
position by his hair. Men with
fine brown hair, light or dark,
make the best husbands; they
are quick, thoughtful and less
apt to be selfish than the very
light-haired, or very dark haired
brothers. Those whose hair turns
gray prematurely are nearly al
ways good fellows; are a little
nervous, but brainy, sympathetic
and very honorable. A prema-
turely gray-haired peron is gem
orally very scrupulous in money
matters and in friendships, and
very tolerant of ones short-co
ings. Nearly all red haired persons
are smart, whether the hair is
coarse or fine, but the finer the
hair, the finer the smartness.
Pale, blonde haired women, of
the colorless, ashen kind, are
impulsive, loving and tickle; not
to be depended upon, but usually
good company while they like
you. Women with very dark
brown hair are loyal, sympathetic
and usually of tireiess patience
where they love; they are full
of sentiment, emotional, enjoy
keenly and suffer in Ike proper
ton, are easily touched by the
woes of others, and are to be
trusted. Women with fine black
hair, touched with brown, are
high. strung, loyal and brainy.
Those with very black hair, If 1T
is coarse, are usually mean and
suspicious. All women with
very dark hair are quick temper.

LOcustS are Here.

Sumo months ago the Depart.
ment of Agriculture issued a
notice of the appearance of the
so called 17-year locusts in the
eastern part of the country, from
New England to North Carolina
and in scattered areas IN OHIO,
West Virginia, Indiana, Ken
tucky and Tennessee, and 49,
year locusts in the lower Missis-
sippi Valley.
Those insects were to, put in
their appearance, according TO
all observations heretofore made,
in the early part of May, with a
continuance of perhaps two or
three weeks. As soon as the
notice was issued BY the Depart
ment a number of newspapers
published "scare-heads." some
of the papers going so far as to
state that the locusts, after cot.
ing up all the green on one farm,
will fly to the next and so on al
interim.
AS a matter of fact, these in
sects are not locusts at all, but
are the common cicada, and all
the injury that it does is slight
pruning of young trees by the
female laying her eggs in the
bark. The cicada does not fly
long distances, but on the other
hand the young insect energies
after sleep of ID or II years,
according to the variety, climbs
the nearest tree, the female lays
her eggs and soon afterwards
dies and falls to the ground.
When the eggs left in the bark
of the tree hatch out the tiny
little ant drops to the ground
also, and digs a cave for itself,
where it may sleep for an allotted
number of years.
A faint, whlrring sound in the
trees, reminding those who have
heard it of the rattle snake s
warning rattle, announces that
the cicada is with us. But its
day will be brief and us stay
harmless,
The Department of Agrcul-
ture, in studying this insect,
states that where there has been
any damage done to the newly
planted orchards, vigorous
pruning back after the cicada
has disappeared will do away
with any apparent trouble.

Great Sums Spent in Luxuries.

When it come to keen I'M
dersta nding of domestic economy,
there is no man living who has
anything on Representative J.
Hampton Moore of Philadelphia.
He has completed a list of lux
uries which shows that the candy
consumed 10 a single year repre-
sents the cost of a complete chain
of canals from Boston to Key
West; that the jewelry sold re-
presents twice the cost of build
ing the Panama canal, and that
the nickels annually dropped on
soda water counters are su fiicient
to establish a complete inland
waterway system.
The statistics with which Rep.
resentative Moore backs his as
sertions are colossal. They rep
resent his investigation into the
reason for the high cost of living,
and prove that the individual
himself is in large measure re-
sponsible for the decline of the
dollars value.
According to Mr.. Moore, the
boys and girls of the country,
and the older people, too, spent
$25, 100000 last year on chewing
gum.
The country's confectionery
bill for 1910 amounted to $7S,-
900, 900.
The $50, 100000 spent on jews
elry is twice the amount requir-
ed to build the Panama canal.
Our soda water bill was $500, =
600.
The representative says: Take
the egg, for instance; it doesn't
cost the hen any more to lay an
egg to. day than it did 100 years
ago, but we pay more than our
grandfathers did because we
don't let the hen lay the egg
where we can get out the back
door and pick it up. The farm
er's wife in Idaho goes out and
gathers up an egg, keeps 1t till
a man comes along with a buggy
and takes it from her. He crates.
sorts and packs it along with
others and then carries it to the
railroad. 1t is laid in April, May
or June; you don't get it until
the following Christmas, and You
have to pay for its keep all that
time, pay for the cold storage,
pay the railroad rates, the ex-
pense of the man who went
around in buggy and gathered
it and the initial price OF the
farmers wife in Idaho. 1t is
the same all along the line.'

The Art of Having Time.

The people who work the hard
est and accomplish he most are
not those who complain of lack
of time. Those who constantly
put their time to good use do not
excuse themselves from duty on
the plea of lack Of time. The
people who have the most irons
in the fire are those most ready
to receive and forge another.
Goethe, one of the busiest men
that ever lived, has said, thine
is endless long, and every day is
a vessel into which much may be
poured, if one will readily fill it
up" And, again, Zone has
always time enough il he will
improve it we'll" But we are
also to remember what another
wise German has said: "Today
is the opportunity for enjoyment
and work. Knowest thou where
thou wilt be on the morrow"

Our June Brides.

The first year of married life
is made up of trials, tears, mis-
takes, perplexities, protestAtlons,
little quarrels and loving make
ups, for during this first twelve.
month u new existence must be
accepted by both the parties.
The new existence is full of dis
illusions, clashes OF 'astes and
tendencies, aud the modifying or
putnng away of preconceived
ideas of the fitness of things.
But of this, every girl must be
sure-when man marries, he
wants and expects home, and if
he is the man he should be, he
will expect to make The living
while the girl he marries will be
expected to make The home.
Whether the work, or the drudg
cry of he home shall be perform
ed by the wife will depend very
much upon the "living" the man
can make; but the new home
will never be real home unless
the wife learns to make and keep

Before marriage, few men step

and many girls either know
nothing of such work, CT, having
spent their young years in the
shop, office, store or factory,
have acquired a dislike to the

extreme. The theory of keep
ing house for two" is very allur-
ing to their inexperienced eyes;
but the hard, prosaic experience
of actual facts is u difficult
school for many Of them. Be.
cause of the mutual ignorance of
the realities OF life, mistakes on
one side aud Impotence on The
other, many couples make sad
wreck of the newly-launched

strongly urged that the newly

with relatives, but should 70 10

ranged for l!ght-houSekeeplng,
SO they are aloue, is better than
a finely furnished mansion oc.

They may think they know each
other before marriage, but they
don't. There are sharp edges,
rough corners, and little irregu-
larities of temper and disposition
in each which the other has never
even suspected, and all these
must be toned down by associa-
tions not interfered with by
others.

Makes Fortune With Broken Neck.

Walter E. Duryea, who lived
almost twelve years with broken
neck, died at his home in Moat
clair, N. Y, in his forty-fourth
year. He broke his neck in An
gust, 1899, by jumping from he
Casino at Glencove, landing on
his head in the sand in three
feet of water. After ten months
in Roosevelt hospital, following
two operations on which the.dnc,
tors had based the slightest hops,
he so recovered his faculties that
by shrewd investment he incress
ed about 100000 which he IN
herited to $2,500,000. Duryea
was the son of Edgar Il. Duryea,
the starch manufacturer, aud his
recovery was the subject of much
medical discussion.

Swat the Fly Now!

The open eeaSon fur swattiny
flies lis here. You Il, not need Il
be partica.aj in regard To the
method of dealing death swat
to CJl. Fly. The onlY thing
really essentia! is to swat him.
One successful swat in June will
do more good than score of
swats next August. The germ.
bearing huzzsr which ESCAPES
capita punishment TODAY will be-
the father or mother of swarms
of pests three months from now.
This Is a particularly good time
to swaG the fly, on account Of the
fact that he is not thoroughly
warmed up for business. Spring
fever still fingers in his system.
1t is much easier to swat him be
fore he gets in frst-rate working
order.
There were many people who
unwi;tingly killed themselves
last summer, and there are many
more flirting With suicide in the
same manner now, on account of
their familiarity with fl'es, so
physicians say.
Many a typhoid fly crawled
over the nipple of baby's bottle,
its feet covered with germs from
garbage in the back alleys aud
back yards. The baby, of course,
thoughlleSsly worked away on
the dlseas,-laden nipple and this
summer flowers ard blooming on
a little grave in consequence.
A sure preventative Of flies is
Kerosene. They refuse TO asso.
ciate in any manner with any
thing favored with the oil. The
liberal use of good screens also
will aid materially in lessening
the fatalities aud discomfort
caused by the over, busy fly.
Water, milk, fruit and food of
all kinds should be kept away
from the germ laden feet of the
fly. You are unable to observe
any d ference in the appearance
of articles Of food after tly has
crawled around over it, but a
powerful micro scope will dis.
close a trail of dirt and germs
not calculated to do ones inner
works any good. The doctors
say all food contaminated by a
tly's touch should be destroyed.
