Setting Off Fireworks at an Altitude of a Thousand Yards. M. John Lcmoinnc, tbe French acad emician nud publicist wlw iliol r; ceiitly, made u liulloon iiscriiBion i:i bis younger years which cured him of the tiurto of aerostation. He was at the time a bach elor, but in spite of his want of a family hod some one who looked after him care fully in tho person of the cone' rgo or porter of tho house which he occupied. At the moment when the aeronaut gave the word, “Let go all!” from tho balloon at tho Hippodrome, in Paris, Lemoinne, who wag tho only person in tho basket with tbe aeronaut, called out to a friend: “Please go and tell my concierge, who’s very fond of me, that I shan’t probably sleep at home tonight. Just that—it’s all that will bo ueceesarr.” Up went tho balloon. A height of 1,000 yards was reached. ‘‘Now,” raid the aeronaut, “wo willset off the fireworks." “What?” “Oh, I promised to set off some fire works at this altitude, and as I can't leave this cord Pll trouble yon to touch off the roman candles. And do it care fully, for if one of the bolls should strike the balloon off she’d go like a bombshell, and that would be tho last of us. There they are. How touch them off.” “Oh, yea. Certainly,” said Lemoinne with his heart in Us mouth.” The balloon was plunging this way and that, and the great bag dipping down irregularly. Lemoinne touched the match to one of the roman candles, which he held with a trembling hand. Off it went—then another ball—fiss, pop —almost gruing the great plunging bog, Which be knew was filed with a highly tofafWflMfr giti Then a bengal light Was brought out, placed on a metal plate and act off. It (puttered and flamed, and little intense patches of fin Were thrown off from it tpon the osiers of the basket. “But those outf screamed the aero naut “Tbeyll set the basket on fire!” Lemoinne scrambled over the basket, itting out the sparks of fire. The ben- gal light sputtered on. A fierce breeae the balloon, and it bent low al most to the level of the basket, which tipped sidewise fearfully. The men in it had to cling to its sidei for their life. The fire wu scattered about, and some of tbs osiers of the basket wen seen to be moktog, The thing was on fire.

The manufacture of imitation jewelry in Paris dates from the reign of Louis XIV, the luxury of dress both for lo- diss and gentlemen at that epoch mak ing imperative the wearing of an im mense number of trinkets. Tho coat and drees buttons and tho hat and shoo buckles manufactured in false diamonds during that reign and those of Lonis XV and Louis XVI remain the moet perfect speoimeos of that kind of trinket in ex- tsteuce. The fine fislrii of tbe setting* and the brilliancy of the stones leave nothing to be desired, and very fortu nate Is the Parisian belle who has Inher ited from her ancestors any of these beautiful and artistic ornaments. Modem Imitation jewelry is of an in finite number of grades, beginning with the ordinary stage trinkets, iu unmistak able glass and gilt brass, made only with a view to effect and glitter behind the footlights. Yet, though without any claims to deception as regards their true “ they ore often interesting as accurate reproductions of antique or historic jewels. Bach were the orna ments designed and executed for Mme. Bernhardt's impersonation of “T,heo- dom," and of like quality are many of the ornaments manufactured for the wardrobe department of the grand op era.—Ladies' Home Journal. Twe Tease by One Orebentra. “I have seen or heard a number of in teresting things since I came to New York," said a visitor, “and one of the things that pleased me was tho music of a band that was marching in a proces sion and playing two tunes at once, the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and ‘Yankee Doodle.' The musicians playing ‘Yankee Doodle' played just twin) os fast as those playing ths ‘Star Spangled Banner,’ so of course tho marching time was perfect. A few days later I hoard an orchestra In a theater do the same thing. All the mnsickilison one side ef the leader played tbe 'Staf Spangled Banner!" all the men on the other sios played 'Yankee Doodle.' I am obliged to say that it struck me as rather amusing, and I wanted to at it, but I didn’t. I looked right ahead, just as though I were accustomed to hearing theater orchestras play two or more tunes at once every day. But prettv toon I aaw that some of the dty people Seemed to think that this was rather funny, and when they laughed I gave myself tbe Measure of lanirhin? too."—New York an, ItHliouhl Itcln Every House.
