Preparations are being made for interesting experiments. The objects of the society are to encourage experiment with aerial machines and to disseminate knowledge concerning the great problem of aenal navigation. Among other things, the society has undertaken to encourage the fascinating study of scientifio kite designing and the delightful sport of kite flying.

He looked back o'er the vanished years when ho was but a boy, 3o full of hoDe and innocence, his own dear mother's joy. Since then the dri nkard's cup has thrown its shadow o'er his life, It wrecked his years and crushed the hope of his devoted wife. Tho wedded love wa? blighted and their home was filled with tear.-', And the future seemed to promise only dark and dreary years. "Dod bess my papa dear to-night, an1 mate him dood and true," Thus came the words from tender lips. Hi* heart was stirred anew. The mother hugs her little boy and chocks a straying tear, The father's heart glows warm again with love for those so dear. ******* 'Tis night again, and side by side they both kneel down and pray Just as they used to do ut home in tim33 so far away.

If you are the father of a fami\y# do cot touch intoxicating drinks. Why7 Because your example may be the means of causing the temporal and eternal misery of those who look up to vou as their guide and example. If you are a mother, do not use it yourseli or allow its use in your home if you value the manhood of vour sons or the womanhood of your daughters. If a maiden do not #ffer it to your male friends, and if tempted to do so just think for a moment of the terrible responsibility you assume. The glass you offer may be the means of starting the young man on the downward road to ruin imd 41eatb. Ho may know bis weakness, but his anxiety to appear well in your eyes, or from lack of moral courage to refuse anything proffered by the hand of youth and beauty, takes that which under other circumstances ho would shun. Many a young man dates bis downfall from the social glass tuken under the parental roof or in the house of some friend (V) of the family. Do Dot try to Induce the man who, from Bad experience, knows his weakness to break hiE pledge or resolution to abstain. Thi3 is often lone thoughtlessly, from a mistaken idea ot friendship or sociability, and without a thought of the possible consequences that may follow. Do not, however, fall into the not uncommon error of assuming that every man who takes a pledge is necessarily a reformed drunkard or one who needs any special restraint on his appetite for liquor. On the contrary, many obligate themselves in that way simply as an example for others to Follow, hoping thereby to save some weaker brother. Do not keep liquor in your house on the specious plea of necessity for use in case of sickness; that necessity is rarely experienced, and but too often is merely an excuse for over-indulgence. Do not imagine you will be unable to sleep without a "night cap" or awake without an "eye opener/' Sacred Heart Review. KISSED BEB BABES AND DIED.

"I notice by the papers that somebody in the south part of the State wants to know where blae grass first started," said Professor John Collett, ex-State Geologist. "A great many people contend that it was lonnd in Kentucky, but this is not so. Blue grass is a native of the Wabash Valley in Indiana. It was found by William Henry Harrison's troops during the solemn march to Tippecanoe in 1811. Harrison gathered a small army at Ohio Falls and started North. At Yincennes the gallant heroes realized that tbey could not go 200 miles up the Wabash without feed for their horses. General Harrison had two cribs of corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the men to go on. As tbey came on witu hungry horses and scant feed thej found the ground covered with blue glass. Six mile3 west of Newport, on the Collett farm, was found a bountiful supply of blue grass. Some placet in the bottom it was growing three feet high and such feed had never been heard of by tho Kentucky soldiers. At State Line City more blue grass was found and from there to Tippecanoe the whole line ^f march was covered with blue grass. The seed was carried back to .Kentucky and sown there, but they could not make it thrive in the warm soil and it had to be sown with oats and rye. Mr. Sandusky, the father of the present family of that name, told me in an early day that no blae grass grew in Kentucky until after it was imported from Indiana. Tom Downing, of Terre Haute, was an ardent admirer of Henry Clay, and once went to;visit him at his home near Ashland, Ky. After seeing the tine farm, well set in blue grass, Downing suggested that Mr. Clay let him have some of the seed to take back to Indiana. " 'Tom, don't make a fool of yourself,' said Clay, 'the grandsire of Kentucky blue grass is growing around your house and in the fence corners t>f your fields. We got the seed from Terre Haute and the Middle Wabash, ind after a hard struggla got it to jrow here in its present luxurioushes3.' "?Indianapolis Journal. Ou Dangerous (iround.

The mechanism of the human body rexiinds one very much of the mechanical conttruction of a line watch, the wheels, cogs ind screws answering to the muscles, and the delicate spriugs are what may be likened to the nerves. One cannot move without the other, and yet the uction of euch is separate nnd distinct. So it is with the nerves and muscles of the human body. The "ailments of tne muscles are distinct lrom the ailments of the nerves, nnd, like the mechanism of a watch, if exposed to sudden change of heat and cold, they get out of order and for the time are useless. Especially is this so atthi3 season of the year, when from exposure, negligence or want of care, the nerves are attacked and neuralgia in its worst form sets in. But like oil to the works of a watch so is St. Jacobs Oil to the nerves thus deranged.
