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.

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.

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. Approved by Bls Sen. 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!
