The last big European war taught the French more about ballooning than they would otherwise have learn ed in a generation. At the beginning of the war the government rejected many proposals from balloon makers to construct a number of war balloon?, but when they were shut up in Paris they gladly turned to the balloon to help them. They turned all their dis used stations into balloon factories and sought the service of the, few experienced aeronauts then" available for the teaching of the frsc and man agement of the balloon to the people. During four months 66 balloons left Paris, of which number only three have never been accounted for. This is remarkable when it is remembered that no lights were allowed in night ascensions, aud the balloons could only be sent up under cover of dark ness. One hundred and sixty persons, in cluding Gambctta, were carried safely over the Prussian lines, and 2,500,000 letters were sent. The balloons also took with them pigeons, which were sent back to Paris with letters and dispatches. The messages were writ teu and photographed down very small on exceedingly thin paper. This was rolled up, inserted in a quill and at tached to the tail feathers of the pigeon. When it was received in Paris, the photograph was put under a microscope and the message read.-v One of the balloons, the Ville d'Orl?ans, left Paris at 11 o'clock at night and arrived near Christiana 15 hours later, having crossed the North sea in its remarkable voyage. Most of the aeronauts were sailors, who were chosen because of their familiar ity with the management and steering of boats at sea, and they proved very capable. During the entire siege bal loons formed the only means of com munication with the outside world for the imprisoned inhabitants, and noth ing could have taken their place. Since then ballooning has been made an important branch of military study, and the course through which the bal looning corps has to pass is becoming daily more scientific and severe The war balloon must be compact, always ready for action and very strong. It is not large enough for two. It is aV ways captive?that is, it is secured to the earth by a cable. It is seldom emptied of its gas and is therefore al ways ready for action at a moment's notice. The equipment of a balloon corps, besides the balloon itself, con sists essentially of two wagons, one large and heavy, somewhat resembling a lumber truck, and the, other consid erably smaller. The former is used to fasten the balloon to and is provided with large reels containing about 2,000 yards of twisted wire rope. The smaller wagon is filled with iron pipes containing gas and is technically call ed the tube wagon. At the word of command the bal loon, already inflated, is released and bounds upward to'the heigh? of sev eral hundred feet, uncoiling the rope after it. The officer in the car takes up with him maps of the surrounding country and a fieldglass. The posi tion and arrangement of the enemy are marked down on the maps with different colored pencils, indicating cavalry, infantry, etc. These marked maps are then placed in a leather bag, which is attached to a ring, which slides down the cable to the ground, where a mounted officer awaits it and carries the message to the general command. Other means of commun icating the information have been tried, such as by telephone and pho tography, but many officers still cling to the colored pencil method, which, they say, is very sure and effective.? Cliicago Record. The Bravest Man. The bluff old major from the Queen's army had listened attentively to the campfife tales of his companions, says the New York Mercury. He put a fresh charge of fragrant tobacco in the veteran pipe that be had been smok ing and the three occupants of the compartment lapsed into silence, wait ing to hear from him. "The bravest man I have ever met was not on the field of battle," he be gan. "He was a soldier, but I know little about his mi?itary record, and yet when I say he was the bravest man I ever knew I think I know what I am talking about. We were cam paigning in India and for months the command had simply been idling time away. We were all throughly tired of a life of routine military inactivity and finally a party of five of us secur ed a two week's leave of absence which we proposed to spend in a hunt for big game. "One of our number was a senior regimental officer, who had been through ten years' service in India. He had been the guiding sririt of our expedition. Seated a few feet away from him and to his left was a young junior company officer who had but recently joined the command. We had been eating fruit, which was of a kind that bears a very peculiar scent. It is a tradition that this fruit has a strong attraction for several varieties of venomous reptiles which are peculiar to that climate. I, at least, am convinced that there is something more than tradition in it. "As I have said, we were talking of adventures, when, in a moment of si lence, the bluff old regimental officer, looking steadily at the young lieuten ant to his left, slowly said : " 'Do you think you could keep your presence of mind under the most try ing circumstances, when your life de pended upon your coolness and cour age ?' "Dead silence followed the colonel's question, and the young officer, look ing quizzically at his interrogator, said : " 'Yes, I think I could.' " 'Then the time has come when you must be put to the test. Move not a muscle until I tell you, or you are a dead man.' "Then the bronzed old warrior slow ly drew his pistol from his holster, [ and, taking deliberate aim, he fired a shot at the very feet of the man to whom he had addressed his ominous question. For the space of a second we all sat like statues, then the colonel, in a tone of relief exclaimed: "'It's all right now. boys; I've killed it.' "We were all on our feet in an in stant, eager to know what danger had threatened our young comrade. At his feet lay the coiling, squirming body of a huge cobra, the most venom ous reptile that haunts the jungles of India. I think the man who calmly faced that danger was the bravest man I've ever met," said the major, and no one dissented. Ben. Franklin's Kite. It was a square kite, not the coffin shaped affair shown in story-book pic tures. To the upright stick of the cross Franklin attached his pointed rod?a sharp wire, about afoot long? and provided himself with a silk rib bon and a key ; the ribbon, to fasten to the string after he had raised the kite, as some possible protection?how much he did not know?against the lightning entering his body ; and the key, to be secured to the junction of the ribbon and string to serve as a conductor from which he might draw the sparks of celestial fire?if it came. When the thunder storm broke he went out on the open common near Philadelphia and faced death?faced the tremendous power of the lightning stroke, before which all people of all ages had quailed in terror ; faced what most of the world then believed to be the avenging blow of an angered God. True, he believed that electricity and lightning were the same thing, and therefore had no different properties or effects ; but he did not, know it. The best existing theory which ac counted for electrical phenomena at that time was his own. The laws of electrical conduction or resistance, now so familiar, were not even sus pected. Who could predict that the lightning would obey any law ? Be sides, he had produced tremendous shocks with his Leyden jars in series, and had killed birds with them. More than that, he had been terribly shock ed himself by the same means?stun ned mtn insensibility and nearly killed. He had said, again and again, that an electrical shock, if strong enough, would blot out life, though without a pang. If his idea was cor rect, if his conviction was true, he was now about to face an electric dis charge beside which that of the most powerful of man-made batteries would seem weak and insignificant. > All the world knows what happened. The kite soared up into the black cloud, while the philosopher stood calmly in the drenching rain watch ing the string, until finally he saw the little fibres of the hemp raise them selves.. Then without a tremor he touched his knuckle to the key?and lived. For the spark crackled and leaped to his finger as harmlessly as did that from his old' familiar electri cal machine, and allowed him to charge his jars with it with the same impun ity. He sent the story of what he bad done abroad, without a particle of trumpeting. He was uot a discov erer for revenue. No stock market awaited the announcement of his claims ; no newspaper stood ready to blaze forth his achievement in the interest of the money jugglers. His own narrative barely fills one of the little columns of the Gentleman? Magazine for Oct. 19, 1752, and it has at ils end only the initials B. F.? Gassier s Magazine. Crank Guests. "I cannot sleep in that room," said a guest at a hotel in this city last evening as he walked to the desk in the office and threw the key upon it. "What is the matter with it ?" asked the! clerk. "There is nothing the matter with it, except that the bed is in the wrong place," the guest replied. "For more than twenty years I have slept in a bed with the head toward the north, and it has become such a habit with me that it would be actually impossi ble for me to sleep with the head in any other direction." "It will be impossible for me to give you a room containing a bed with the head in that direction," said the clerk. "The hotel is well filled to night, and I have only two vacant rooms, but I will have the bed turned for you." Calling a porter the clerk instructed him to turn the bed in the gentleman's room, so that the head would be to the north. The guest followed the porter upstairs, and as nothing'further was heard from him it is presumed that he retired and slept peacefully. "There is no accounting for tastes," said the clerk, turning to the reporter, "and the funny experiences we have in the hotel business would fill a vol ume. Before the night is over we may have calls for beds with their heads turned to every point of the compass, and, of course, we are oblig ed to accommodate every one." "I remember an instance like this several years ago. A man slightly inebriated came into the hotel one night, and, producing a pocket com pass, said that he wished a room where the head of the bei should be placed to the northeast. We sent two boys with him, and they turned the bed as requested. The joke was that the compass was furnished with a little stop, which held the indicator in a certain position. It so happened that the gentleman's bed, which had been carefully placed northeast ac cording to the compass, was in reality placed with the head to the south. The man discovered his mistake next morning, and was cured of the fad." ?Philadelphia Bulletin. Victims of Politics. Don't, go into politics for fun. It may be fun at the start; but it is crucifixion at the last. The path of politics in all lands are lined on both sides with the bleached skeletons of mighty men. "Hand us another," says public life, as it pitches one man aside and clutches for some promising man in law or merchandise or social position. Politics must be reformed, and if you have the martyr spirit go into them ; but if you undertake that style of life for regalement and profit, you make a mistake that cannot be corr^c-ed. A United States senator writes this advice to his boy : If I were to express any regret or des ignate any great error of my life, it would be that I had ever connected myself with party politics, or accept ed a political office. If you would be happy or useful, or selfrespecting, I would advise you to let party politics and political positions severely alone. The only safe spirit in which to en ter politics is the martyr spirit, and then if you are sacrificed, you will not be surprised. The fact that you have great brains affords no safety. That is the very reason why you will be put down or viciously handled.? Christian Herald. Only One Could do it. "Last Sunday," said the clergyman to his congregation, "some one put a button in the collection bag. I won't mention names. I will merely say that only one individual in the con gregation could have done so, and I will expect the same member after the service to replace the button with a coin of the realm." After church a well to do but close fisted individual sought an interview with the clergyman in the vestry: "I-er," he began, hesitatingly, "must apologize for the? er?button incident, which I can assure you was an acci dent. I happened to have the button in my waiscot pocket, together with a shilling, and took out the former by mistake. However, sir, here is the shilling." "Thank you," said the clergyman, taking the shilling and gravely hand ing him the button. "By the bye, sir," said the man, "I cannot understand how you should have known that it was I who?cr? committed the?er?much-to-bc-re gretted mistake." "I didn't know," replied the clergy man. "Didn't know? But you said, sir, that only one individual in the congre gation could have done so." "Just so. You see, sir it is scarce ly possible that two individuals could have put one button in the bag, is it not?" said the clergyman, with a bland smile. It was so much easier for the but ton contributor to say "Goodday" than to answer this puzzling question that he made his bow at once.? Epworth Herald. J Queer Antics of a Bridegroom. The innocence of city ways by the newly married from the country dis tricts who come to Chicago on their wedding trips serves to excite only a languid interested with hotel clerks, but yesterday the queer antics of a bridegroom at the Leland cause a great laugh, says the Chicago Trib une. It was the worst Manager Cobb allowed he had ever seen, and Mr. Cobb has been in Chicago hotels 30 years. On Wednesday night a young man approached the counter at the Leland and looked nervously around him. "Are you the clerk?" he finally asked. "Yes. What can I do for you?" was the response. "I want a room." . The clerk pushed the register to ward him and waited. "What do you want me to do ?" the young man stammered out. "Write your name," replied the clerk, who was becoming interested. The young man wrote "Harry W. Smith," and at the request of the clerk added "Marley, HJ.'1 He was assigned a room. A few minutes after wards the belhboy reported there was a woman with the new guest. When he reappeared the next morning his attention was called to the fact that he had not registered for his wife. "I was married only yesterday," was his explanation, "and I forgot all about her." Then he registered from "New Len nox," having given the bride's maiden name as his residence the preceding evening. The couple spent the day in sight-seeing, not returning to the hotel until evening. A bell-boy who had sprinkled wet sawdust on the floor of the rotunda was sweeping it up. Stepping up to the bell-boy he said : "My wife wants a candle to friz her hair with. If you can get one for me I'll sweep while you are gone." Taking the broom from the hands of the astonished colored boy, the bridegroom proceeded to sweep the rotunda. His bride, an exceedingly pretty young woman, evidently the belle of the village, stood watching him. The rotunda was crowded, and the broad smiles as the passing throng stopped to look at her husband told her that something was wrong. Her face became crimson. The bell-boy was gone perhaps longer than was necessary, by and the time he returned the rotunda was well swept. The pair then started for their room. They mu3t have heard the laugh which broke forth as soon as they were out of sight. Hints to Girls on the Treatment of the Hair. A girl's hair is one of her points of beauty, and it should never be neg lected. Regular, steady brushing of the hair with a clean hrush, fifty strokes before going to bed at night, twenty-five in the morning when dressing, will keep the hair thick, smooth, soft and lovely. Once a month at least the tips of the hair should be clipped off, just the merest tip-ends at the edges, and once a mODth the head should be carefully washed, with tepid water and soap, thoroughly rubbed and well dried. If mamma has time to take this sort of care of her daughter's hair, she will be repaid by seeing rich and flowing tresses, or sisters may do it for one another. Do not cut your hair in bangs. It is very much prettier simply parted and combed back plainly, then braided, in one or two long tails, and tied with a ribon. Avoid essences, oils and pigments ; the hair needs only cleanliness and much brushing. Keep your hair brush clean by frequently dipping it into a path of hot water and ammonia and drying it in the sun. Everything used in the hair must be scrupulously neat.?Harper's Young People. A Darlington Hero. The following is an extract from the speech of Hon. John L. McLaurin be fore the veterans of Horry county : At the battle of Gettysburg a stal wart lad from Darlington was bravely advancing in the face of a hot fire when a shot tore off his first finger. An officer ordered him to the rear. "No, sir," was his reply, "they will call me a coward if I go back for that." A moment later a piece of shell took his arm off clear and clean above the elbow. A comrade caught him, and the poor fellow said, "I will go back now ; but I would rather lose my arm than to be called a coward." Two weeks ago there was a death in the poor house. The bed was hard, the walls bare, the wan face cold and still, while across the breast was pin ned the armless sleeve of a pauper's coat. The heroic soul of Henry Miller had winged its flight to God, far beyond the reach of want and ingra titude. Oh, my friends, why honor the dead, why build monuments of bass and marble ? It is but a hollow mockery when heroes like this die dishonored and in want. ?

A Trump's Rise and Fall. Sacramento, Cal.,Feb. 19.?John P. Harmens, a tramp, fifty years cf age, who, by his own confession, re covered $20,000 that was hidden by train robbers a year ago is locked up in jail in this city. For months he has been living in San Francisco on the money taken from the Overland express near Sacramento by Jack Brady and Browning a year ago. The pris oner has turned over to the police $2, 000, which he had in the German Savings bank in San Francisco; $5, 900 in securities, a diamond ring and a diamond collar button. Harmens found the money under a clump of bushes near Sacramento, where the robbers who held up the train had buried it. It is known that the robbers obtained $50,000 from the Wells-Fargo Company, but Harmens did not find all or the plunder. He says that he obtained only $20,000, but it is believed that these figures are rather under the exact amount. [ The conclusion is based on the fact that Brady, one of the bandits, con fessed and took the officers to the place where the money was buried, but only $6,000 was foun'd. Harmaus had evidently taken the rest of the treas ure before the officers arrived. Harmens was arrested in San Fran cisco Saturday and brought fco this city last night. Among his friends he is known as "Dutch Charley." After he found the money he went to San Francisco, where he loaned a great deal to responsible business men. But he was not miserly, as it is said that he lived a life of luxury seldom dreamed of by the average tramp. He bought the most elegant clothes for himself, making a trip to New York for the purpose, and the tramp was trans formed into a regular fashion-plate. ? "My dear," said a dying hus band, "do you think you will marry again when lam goue ?" "I don't know, John," replied the lady, with a burst of tears. "I haven't given the matter very much thought as yet." ? The Scotch have the heavies! average brain weight?50 ounces, The Eskimos of East Greenland have the lightest?43.9 ounces.
