Unlucky Valparaiso.
Poor Valparalao! Ita name meana
Vale of Parndl.e, but never wa* a
prophecy In the way of name, worse
fulfilled. The Spanlarda founded It in
1536, and made none too good a choice
of situation, for the bay Is vary open
and a dangerbui anchorage In a galo
from sen. Hardly was the place a
town before Drake descended upon It
and sacked tt. In 1596 Hawkins raided
It and got much booty and only four
yeara later tha unhappy town was
burned by a Dutch corsair.
In 1822, again In 1851. and once
more In 1880, It was nearly leveled by
earthquakes, and In 1816 a Spanish
fleet entered the bay and bombarded
the place, causing terrible loss of prop
erty and life. In 1891 came the biggest
revolution that ever convulsed a South
American republic, and the city was
the scene of three days' continuous
and terrific fighting. On August 27
the Insurgents entered Valparaiso and
looting and burning cost the unfortu
nate inhabitants half a million
money.—Tit-Bits.
For R.laxing Purpose.
Prom The Atchison Globe.
We have heard that a little fiction
every day Is good to relax the mind,
but find many difficulties arise In con
nection with taking the dose. For In
stance, today we had Just enough time
to make a start at relaxing the mind,
when worn crowded In. and Ihe relax
ation waa put off tilt .tomorrow. This
la ai far as we got:
"It's good to see. you once more, Ar
thur!" Naoina Lake ran across the
room, holding out both hands to the
strone, dark young man who came for
ward to meet her. Her delicate face
was alight with real Joy.
"Good!" he echoed, taking her ex
tended hands and drawing her to him.
As he bent his face to meet hers, she
shrank back, flushing painfully. Then
a smile flickered across her face and
she dlsengsged her hands, motioning
him lo a seat.
(Note: But we are sure that the
mind would have been relaxed had we
had lime to read All. The man was
strong and dark; the girl hail a delicate
face. These are necessary qualifica
tions In all fiction. But what happened
next? Will we ever find time lo Read
More?)

Falling Into Hols in Air.
One of Ihe strange experiences of a
balloonist I* that of falling Into "a hole
In the air,” which Mr. Rolker reports
as follows;
So you continue sailing, enjoying
the present with little thought of the
startling surprises that may be before
you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be
what the balloonist calls a 'hole In the
air,' resembling the vortex of a mael
strom, and down this you may liter
ally fall at a rate which Is terrifying
until, by sacrificing two or three bag
fuls of sand at once, your pitot checks
your downward flight. But these
'holes’ are scarce, and, aa a rule, the
atmosphere Is of uniform carrying
power.”—American Magaxlne.
