A Balloon Incline Kailroftd.
Consul William Barde! writes from
Bambery that Engineer Baiderauer,
of Salzberg. has invented a balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made, in the. mountains in
the neighborhood of that German city.
It consists of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side of a steep moun
tain. which ordinary railroads could
not climb, except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon is to float
about 35 feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail. The conductor can. at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas. while the descent 13
caused by pressure of water, which
is poured into a large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast- Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car to a regulator of
speed, which is controlled by the con
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
Incline cable roads out of existence.

What Food Did for a Clergyman.
A minister of Elizabethtown tells
fcow Grape-Nuts food brought him
tarK to his pulpit: "dome 3 years ago
1 had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in a com
plete state of collapse and I suffered
for some time with nervous prostra
tion. My appetite failed. I lost flesh
till 1 wa~ a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me. I lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
"Then cn the recommendation of
some friends I began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time I was a mis
erable skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room:
bad ugly dreams at night, no disposi
tion to entertain or be entertained and
began to stun society.
"I finally gave up the regular minis
try indeed I could not collect my
thoughts cn any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After I bad been
”=ing the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time 1 discovered that I was taking
on new life and my appetite began tc
improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily: I had
lost gome 50 popnds, but under the
aew food regime I have regained al
most my former weight and ha.t
—•ea’ly improved in every way.
r—1 feel that I owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome.”

An Admirer of Shakespeare.
BY K. MUBBAY GIX.CHB.IST.
The very mention of Eunice Beau- 1
mout's library brought a warm glow
io the Grassbrock pride. The vil
lage iies amidst the sycamores near
Darrami bridge—a remote plat* where,
until within the last lew years educa
tion consisted of the three "R's,’' plain
•-ew.hg for the girls, and tor either
•ex. the rules of old-fashioned cour
tesy
Eunice, however, had natural ta!
ents; she loved to widen her outlook,
and so, fceing in straightened means,
the made herself mistress of the few
tool;s she had inherited from her sire
particularly the works of Shakespeare
in seven volumes.
She derived a small income from the
tent of two cottages near the church;
for the rest she did Sne needlework
Tor such of the weil-to-do as were too
conservative to use machine-stitched
tmuerolothes. The old parson—Par
son Swmiow—would wear no other
shirts than those sue made.
On the afternoon when my Lady
Danmon sent the message for her to
present nerseif at ifresswei! ha!!, she
was gathering white raspberries in a
narrow garden where luscious cen
tury-old th.ngs rioted.
“Good mornin’. .\Tiss Beaumont. ’
said Mrs. Danmon's young groom
“Her ladyship’s housekeeper. Mrs.
Dunn, she's sent ine to inquire if
you're free to come down to Cress
weil to-morrow? A darning job on a.i
old chair as has been stored it the ium
' ber-room for Lord knows how long.
Iter ladyship came upon it awhile ago,
and wants It in use again. Mr?. Dunn
she spoke of you, and here I am f,
esk it it's convenient."
The old woman flushed with pleas
ure: never before had such an inter
esting piece of work fallen to ner lot
" 'Tis vastly good of Mrs. Dunn. ’ she
said, “and of her ladyship, too. for
.hat master. Ay, I’ll be glad indeed
tc come.”
The next morning she was shawled
am bonneted by nine; but the young
man did not appear until 11; and tho
stable clock at Cresswell hall was
rtriking if when she alighted from the
dogcart. She had never visited the
plate before save on the rare occasions
when it was thrown open to the pub
lic; now that she was about to oc
cupy- herseif beneath its roof, the mag
nificent* seemed to increase tenfold.
An elderly woman, portly and digm
ffed, came out into the courtyard. She
wore a black silk gown, and a whi’e
riusiin apron with a crimped border
Eunice curtsied; the other did the
•am; , then offered a friendly hand.
“I m glad you could come so prompt
ly." she said.
Alter many timorous questions con
cerning etiquette, the old maid was
taken upstairs to a small boudoir
where Lady Danman. a tall and hand
some woman of middle age, sat in the
window recess writing letters, she
nod ied kiudiy. then sealed her en
, veiepes w ith faint-hued wax. and after
* “TO THINK OF IT:” SHF SAID.
t?isinisslng Mrs. Dunn preceeded Eu
nice along a gallery and up several
. staircases to a great attic lighted with
semicircular windows.
"This Is the room,” said the lady,
"and here is the chair.” She removed
1 the chintz cover. "The needlework,
j as you see, is frayed, particularly on
! the arms. I want you to restore it
It was, I have found, given to Lon!
Danuian - ancestor by Queen Eliza
veta herself. By the merest chance
i came upon a mention of it in an oli
.housekeeping book.”
As sne reached the doorway, a shrill
| cry of something not unlike terror
make her turn. "My Lady: my lady!
I most humbly ask your pardon,
but—’*
"You are afraid of being alone?
said Lady Danman. "One of the young
maids snail sit with you—”
“ 'Tis not that," said Eunice, in a
low voice. "I was but taken abaca
seeing a gentleman looking at me
tren. between the clocks:”
Her ladyship laughed merrily. -'My
good soul,” she said. “It is bat a
| Lust of Shakespeare—a copy of tfle
; one in Stratford church. Ah. I se:
it does .ook real, with the light fall
ing cn its painted cheeks and the
c;d curtain hanging from the bracket.”
Eiiince's hands were tightly clasped.
"1 ask your pardon again, my lady,"
she said: "but—did you say Shake
ipezre—.he great Shakespeare of the
: plays?”
"The very Shakespeare.” said Lady
: Panman. "The immortal bard. And
now 1 really must go. You will be in
excellent company."
She retired, leaving the spinster and
the bust in a silence as profound as
that of an empty church. For a time
Eunice resolutely attended to the
matching of her silks; aut at last a
reverent curiosity forced her to ap
“VANADIUM” DEPOSITS FOUND.
What promises to revolutionize the
making of iron and steel is the recent
i discovery of large deposits of almost
| pare vanadium In Peru, South Amer
ica It is reported Standard Oil in
terests are identified with the com
i pany which has secured concessions
from the Peruvian government. Van
adium is a gray while powder, and is

Educational Enterprise.
Prof. Wilbur Jackman, of the Uni
versity oi Chicago School of Educa
tion. is leading a movement in favor
of erecting Chicago scboolhouses out
in the suburbs far enough so that each
may have fire acres of ground
around it
preach the presentment of the genius.
Dust lay thick upon brow and nose,
she took a folded cloth from her apror
pocket, and with trembling fingers
carefully wiped all away. The color
ing; now became vivid; she could have
sworn that the bland face grew kind
er beca'tse of her touch.
"To think of itl" she said with !
bated breath. “To think as I should j
be aione with him!”
The clock struck somewhere in th? ;
distance. She was too conscientious
to spend time in adoraiion that shoulc
be spent at work, so she hlied her
needle and knelt beside the chair,
steadfastly striving to forget the won
derful strangeness of her surround
ings. The exquisite darning appea.ed
to her; she put into it all her skill.
It was : low. however; and when Lady
Danman came up again about live
o'clock, only one-naif was done.
“You are doing it beautifully,” said
the lady. "Now. be ofl to Mrs. Dunn s
parlor—you've done quite enough for
one day.”
The spinster deliberately replaced j
her needle in a huswife of pale green j
silk embroidered with purple and rose- !
colored flowers. She turned toward
'.he bust, her eyes filled with an odd j
wistlulness.
".My lady," she said, "I feel In my j
heart that you are kind—that you wi,i j
not believe that 1 ask for the mere j
sake of folly—"
“Ask anything you please; I'll an :
swer if I can."
"About the head—do you believe ■
;hat Shakespeare was really like that?
I'd be glad to know—to know would
save me from much ponder'Bg.”
Lady Danman assumed her wisest
look. "Most authorities agree; yes,
I believe it.”
"I thank your ladyship most earn- .
esfjy. i cannot describe the gratifi
cation I have felt in being so near—
in working almost as it w-ere under
his supervision—in winning his ap
proval. And it seemed to me as if |
the distance betwixt him and me ;
were not so great, after all.”
Lady Danman withdrew in a maze
of thought. "Good Heavens!” shv
said. "The creature's either mad or a
genius! What a remarkable thing—
a woman of her order knowing any- '
thing of Shakespeare! '
At home the old maid moved in ;. ,
dream of delight Her cottage tha* ;
evening was transformed ‘nto a ro- 1
mantle grunge, her garden into Ju- |
liet's garden, into the Temple garden,
into Sweet Anne Page s garden.
In the morning she rose early, set
her house in order, and after break- !
fast went to a dough where Grass
of Parnassus grew in a marsh with j
Ragged Robin and Water Speedwe.l
and tali bullrushes. The first Cower
had tempted her; Grass of Parnassus !
must surely be the finest to place oe
fore the effigy of her genius. It grew
sparsely, two hours passed before she
found more than a little posy. Then j
her skirts were draggled, her tee:
wet, her wrinkled cheeks gieaminr
with the heat. But Ebe felt no weari
ness now. in her vans flowed the
biood ol immortal youth.
The groom found her curiously si
lent during the long drive; in fac:
more than once she failed to reply to j
his observations upon the weather.
At Cresswell hail, after her dinne>- :
w;;h good Sirs. Dunn, she placed her
tribute on a little table before tht
painted bust, and set to work imme- )
diately. The darning became poetry; j
the chair was sacred as having been
in existence in the days when Shake
speare lived
Lady Danman came up again in tht- i
afternoon, and stood for awhile in the -
doorway, the old maid kneeling be- j
side the great chair, diligently plying
the bright needle. So engrossed was
Eunice in her work that her ladyship
moved to her side oefore she was
aware of her presence.
Her eyes fell on the flowers before
the bust; she was still sensitive
enough to feel a curious pang, as if
something had thrust her back into 1
the distant past.
“Grass of Parnassus!'' she said, i
“How strange—how very strange!”
Eunice snipped the last thread. “The
work’s finished now,’ she said. ’1
hope and trust your ladyship 11 be well
satisfied.”
"1 am more than satisfied,” said
, iidy Danman. "I thank you—I hare
teamed something from you—some
thing that I cannot pay for.”
Eunice replaced her needle In the
| huswife. ”My lady,” she said. “I'u
be better pleased if no mention of
payment is made—if you'll take what
I've done as a gift ... It has been
a privilege—I'd a hundred thousand
bmps not have money. It has meant
much to me—far more than I can ever
te l you. Ay, I know that I'm pre
1 sumptuous in asking this favor: but
once in my life I'll sew for nought
... It seems a sacrilege to talk of
money before him.”
She pointed to the bust. Lady Dan
mar's perp exed frown gave place to
a radiant smile. "I II offer you no
money.” She took Eunice's gnarled
hand; the old maid stood very proud
! end stately in her own little way.
”1 thank your ladyship,” she began.
"But Shakespeare has never had
greater honor paid him. The bus:
is yours: it shall be taken to yonr
j rouse this very evening.”
“My lady! my lady!”
“It is yours,” said Ladv Danman,
saain, moving to the door, halt
ashamed of the weakness that made
her voice quaver.

FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
II Water Really Is to Be Purified,
There Is Only One Way
to Do It.
"AH this talk about the need of fil
ters, about people dying for lack of
filtered water, amuses me." said a
chemist "For filtered water isn't
necessarily pure water. Boiled water
is 100 times better.
“A filter, you see. does not free
water from thing? dissolved in it. but
only from things Coating In it. For
instance, if you mix a quart of whisky
in a gallon of water and then filter
the mixture, it will come cut color
less. the floating color particles hav
ing been left behind, but this color- j
less fluid will be quite as capable of i
intoxicating you now as it was before,
for none of its dissolved alcohol will
have disappeared
"So with water that is polluted with
sewage. AH the undissolved portions
if the sewage are removed by filtra
tion. and tfc» water is left clear, taste- .
less and odorless: but the dissolved
sewage is still present, and in it may
lurk billions of typhoid germs
"Let those who complain about the
lark of filters just turn in and boil
tbeir water. A cent's worth of fire
will purify a gallon of water better
than a JlO.Obb/'OO filter plant could
do it.”
The Things We Eat.
Too much meat is absolutely hurt
ful to the body. Sailors on board of
ships get scurvy when their supply of
vegetable food is exhausted. The di

eat enough vegetables we pay for it 1
dearly.

TheWinning Stroke
if mere than ordinary sk.;I in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning p ayer, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea
sonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to
the hea.th ana strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement m cases of constipation, bviousness, headaches,
etc. It is a., important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one cf known quality ana excellence, like the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the svstem
effectually, when a laxat ve is needed, without any unpleasant
after effects, as it acts natura.'y ar.d gently cn the internal
organs, simp.y assisting nature when nature needs assistance,
w ithout gnping. irritating cr cec...tatir,g the internal organs in
ary way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable o- injurious
nature. As the plants which arc combined with the figs in
the manufacture cf Syrup cf Figs are known to physicians to
act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met
with their general approval as a*family laxative, a -'act well
worth considering in making purchases.
It is because cf the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS
is a remedy cf known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions cf well
informed people, who would net use any remedy cf uncertain
quality cr inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine cn hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. F.ease to remember that the
genuine Syrup cf Figs is for sare in bottles of one size
