There's all sorts of prades of tobacco plant. The best
comes from Havana. There's all sorts of grades of sarsa
parilla plant. The best comes from Honduras. If you
want cheap tobacco, all right provided you get value for
your money. Cheap tobacco not as good to smoke but
it don't cost as much.
If you want cheap sarsaparilla ... But you don t want
It. Of course you don't. You are prying for the best.
To pay for the best and Ret anything but Honduras sar
saparilla Is like paying for Havana cigars and getting
Pittsburg " Stogies' There's only one sarsaparilla made
eiclusively from the imported Honduras plant. That's

WALKING ON AIR.
Eminent Authorities Look to It Pos
sibility aa a treasonable Mope.
Despite tbe Immense amount of writ
ing and talk on the subject of aeronauts,
the question ha always been: Will
aerial navigation be practicable within
a time near enough to Justify us in in
teresting ourselves etsiut it? asks a
writer. The decided affirmative answer
of Professor Alexander (iraham BelL
the creator of the Bell telephone, is
worthy of consideration. Professor
Bell say that human locomotion
through I lie air will lie achieved before
long, although the principle of gas ex
pansion, which constitutes the lifting
power in balloons, will have no place
lu the practicable flying machine. What
is necessary for rising In the air, he
says, is not a cumbersome balloon, nor
an unmanageable Initiation of a bird's
or insects' wings, but a mechanical
contrivance which can be operated by
ordinary motors.
Buoyancy of the flyJng machine must
be secured by motion of -some of its
own parts, and not by Uie whole ma
chine having a specillc gravity less tliuu
that of the air. A French' muchiue
culled the helikoples. Professor Bell
thluks, approaches nearer In principle
than any others the flying machine of
the future. It simply screws fisclf In
to the air, a certain rate of revolution
of the screw causing It to rise, a lower
rate giving it more buoyancy, and a
still further decreased rale making It
sink gently to the ground. This device,
It will lie noticed secures only suspen
sion lu the air, but little Is detracted
from Its value on this account, as buoy
ancy is t lie only problem, It lieing
comparatively easy to olrtniu motion to
and fro.
Apropos of mechanics In a different
field, Professor Bell says that, the elec
tric roads, horseless carriages and bi
cycles will not negate the horse to the
fields, but will give him a no! her und
more effective sphere of aciicity. "Man
has Invented the bicycle," he says, "to
Increase his powers of propulsion, and
while 1 do not say that a horse could
ride a bicycle, I am confident that n
machine could lie built, whereby a
horse could be taken off the ground and
used as a motive power. With a prop

Trumbull's Manner.
John Trumbull, the American histori
cal painter, Is described as a man of
aristocratic tendencies and associa
tions; yet his apparent hlgli-hcadedness
was but a physical peculiarity. He
was always ready to face any situation
with pride and courage which render
ed him speedily Its master.
During the Hevolution, he was In
Loudon, and was there suspected of be
ing u spy. He was arrested and cast
Into prison, where be lived for nearly
eight mouths, amusing himself by
painting. When he was questioned as
to his antecedents, be made the haughty
reply:
"I am an American, and my mime is
Trumbull. I am a son of him you call
the rebel governor of Connecticut. I
have served in the rebel onny. I have
the honor of being an aide-de-camp to
him you coll the rebel (Jeorge Wash
ington. I am entirely In your power.
Treat me as you please, always remem
bering that, as I may be treated, so will
your friends In America be treated by
mine."
Through tbe influence of the painter,
West, and of such men as Fox and
Burke, he wa released and then return
ed to America.
His sense of personal dignity was one
of his marked traits. AVhen In 1177 the
Continental Congress treated him with
seeming neglect In not promptly end
ing him a commission for promotion he
wrote to Congress:
"If I have committed any crime, or
neglected any duty, since I engage! In
the service of my country, If I have
performed any action or spoken any
word In my public character unworthy
Of my rank, let me be tried by comrades
and broke; but I mut not be thought
ao destitute of feeling aa to bear degra
dation tamely."
The member of Congress who acted
for him In the matter aaaured him that
a mistake had been made, and advised
him to write another letter, and ask for
the commlMlon, but the artist replied:
"I have never asked any office lu the
public service nor will I ever do so.
The very request would acknowledge
and prove my unworthlnes."
Training Sheep.
To save labor with sheep, take a
young ewe lamb and raise her a a pet
near the house. When the ewe la grown
place her with the flock. She can be
called and the other sheep will follow
her. If properly trained, she can be
made very serviceable, and should a
dog attack the flock she will run to the
house. She may also carry a bell, If
tbe owner so prefere.
Conditions of Happiness,
Willey I tell you. It's lieiter In the
end to be honest. Did you ever know
a rogue who wasn't unhappy?
Shalley No; but, then, one would
hardly expect a rogue to be happy when
he Is known. It's rogues who are not
known that are happy. Koxbury On
