Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered a
wsy to recovery, by purchasing of us
a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovtry
for Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs Luther Lutx.” Thus writes W.

The announcement that the balloon It
defined toplay a role to the present war
with Spain recalls the aeronautic experi
ments made by the French during the
great war to 1870 and 187 k As early as
ITW balloons were used f« military sig
naling to France. But In our times dur
ing the siege of Pari* by the German
troops frequent n-tempts were made by
Frenchmen to ©o *uninlcate with thoee
«n«i<ia the belong in red city and to dis
patch men and matter from the capital by
means of balloons. In Parte itself, under
the direction of Postmaster Ramport, a
balloon post and transport service was
established far carrying persons and gov
ernmental as well as private mail matter
from the besieged capital. Among the
public men leaving the city fa this way
M. Gambstta will evdr be itaiembered.
Homing pigeons were also sent by this
route to carry news back to Parte. A total
of 66 balloons, aooordtog to Ttesandler's
“Bn Ballon Pendant le Siege de Parte,”
left thebesiege* city, and 168 persons, 10,-
194 kilograms of postal matter. Including
8,000,000 letters, 866 homers, five dogs and
wro boxes of dynamite, were dispatched
by the aerial route. Os the balloons 69
descended in France, five to Belgium, four
to Holland, two to Germany and one to
Norway. Only live of them were captured
by the Germans, and two were never heard
of, having been lost to the ooean.
Os all voyages of that time, however,
none could compare for exciting and peril
ous Incidents with that of the well knovyn
aeronaut, M. Nadar, who left Tours for
Paris with important government dis
patches at 6 o'clock one fine December
morning. At 11 he was to view of the
capital on the Seine. While floating about
8,000 meters above Fort Charenton, Nadar
suddenly observed, a second balloon cm the
horizon. Thinking It to be one leaving
Paris, the French, aeronaut at once dis
played the tricolor of hte country, and tbe
Other balloon responded by exhibiting the
same flag. Gradually the two balloons
approached one another, being drawn to
the same direction by the same currents
of air. When they were separated by only
a short distance, several explosions were
heard. Tbe stranger had commenoed*to
fire shots at Nadar’s balloon, the Intre
pid©, which regan to descend rapidly. The
French flag had by thia time been replaced
in the other balloon by the Prussian col
ora. The Parisians, who were watching
the affair from the forts below, and who
now realized the true character and object
of the last arrival, cried out that their
plucky compatriot was lost, but they were
mistaken.
Nadar had scrambled from the car up
the network of ' hte atofaip after the first
Aiot from tta enemy to atop a hole“ Wide
fa the tisane. PteSanOy hp descended to
the ear as fee balloon righted iteeff, and,
throwing eut a quantity of bauafa, dkbaed
Uto rise higher and higher. Then, aeiz
tog his rifle, he fired shots with rapid suc
cession Into the Prussian, which suddenly
split and sank to the ea#h. On reaehjpg
the ground a dewwhmeni of uhlan*; whi
had been watching the oomhat-from the
plain, picked up the German aeronauts
and rode off to the Prussian outposts.
Nadar then alighted to safety within the
girdle of the Paris forts, moetlng wjth an
enthusiastic ovation for hte victory in the
first balloon duet —Baltimore Sun.

In a certain west end family there is a
youngster who has original ideas as to
who should be the virtual head of the fam
ily. The mother has been talking about
visiting tbe Omaha exposition and began
discussing the subject in the family cir
cle the other evening. With a knowing
wink at hte wife (Which escaped the boy’s
notice) the father firmly said:
“I don’t see how wo can afford to have
you go.”
Promptly entering Upon the spirit of
the play, the wife responded:
“ I’vedetermined to go, and I’m going I"
“You are not going,” affirmed the hus
band. “I’ve made up my mind to that.
And when I set my foot down, that set
tles itl”
The discussion ended and the wife left
the room. The boy had been an interested
witness, but he had said nothing. When
his mother had withdrawn, he approached
hte father’s chair, patted him on the back
and in patronizing tones said: -t
“That’s light, papa! I’m glad to see
you’vp got grit!”—Pittsburg Chronicle-
