I [ _ EW YORK. — “I needed about 100 pounds or so lit tra weight, and so, when I taw her in the crowd as we , were getting ready to go up in the balioon. I ask ed her to take the trip , with me—I had known for a long time that she want ed to have a flight in the • air.” And so Dr. Sidney S. Stowell took Miss Blanche Edith Hulse “up 'n a balloon, boys," proposed to her when they were 10,000 feet in the air while the other man in the basket was looking the other way; and now they are married! I>r. Stowell tried something differ ent. He might have proposed to her in an automobile, or on the deck of a yacht by moonlight, or even in the hammock on the back porch; in other word*, be might have proposed just as millions of other men have proposed. But on the spur of the moment he choc* the air as the scene in which to brieg bis wooing to a climax—and won out. When his g od airship landed in a rocky pasture he hud the promise; the rest was easy, thanks to this tjgw way A winning her. 'The 100 pounds or Co of ballast" is now Mrs. Stowell. At the beginning it looked as if Dr. Stowell stood little chance. Miss Hul se. daughter of Schuyler Hulse. of Pittsfield. Mass . was one of the belles of the Berkshire®. Dr Stowell prac tised in Pittsfield too, and one day he met Miss Hulse. '-ure of tbs City Felt. At length he gained the coveted in vitation to call. The handsome young physician took the very' first oppor tunity. The visits continued until one day the young woman remarked in a very off r.und manner. "I'm going to New York to study nursing." ' What!' answered Dr. Stowell, bare ly stilling a gasp. "Yes," rattled on Miss Huise, "it's 1 all arranged. I'm going to Bellevue hospital there and 1 shall take the full course Won't it be fine?” Miss Huise left Pittsfield soon after ward and Dr Stowell never got the f i ance 1- long, d for. He stayed at i.t t New York. Autooi djllng had always been i Lis hobby, but folks had the balloon fever in Pittsfield Just then and Dr. Stowell g .t it, too. He joined the Aero Club of Pit'sfield—the premier place for the sport in the cast, with t's big gas works and its host of aero sharps. Soon be had the “bug." as they say. "1 m going to qualify as an air-pilot," deviated Dr Stowell to his friends, and he went about it in a matier-of-fact formal way. with each flight, making t.= record- and studying the science of aeronautics as if he intended to make it his life work. He essayed the air for the first time, going up as a passenger with William Van Sleet. The wind was high and the pair were blown to Tvngsboro. Mass . but they landed in safety after a wild trip through the clouds. That started his qualification for air-pilot. Under the rules of the Aero Club of Pittsfield a candidate must make six flights with at least one passenger, and one of the Sights must be at night A1I these Dr. Stowell made, but not without peril. eerii m FMignt Flight. The night flight was punctuated by a terrific thunderstorm in which the balloon was in momentary peril of be ing struck by lightning. In another flight he was blown across the State of Massachusetts, dipped down till he hit the waters of the Hudson river, only to rise again and bang against the rock bound sides of the Palisades But. one by one. the flights were made There was but one left, and then he would become a full-fledged captain of the air. He could fly alone now. If he choae. or take a person. Ha dtcldtj that his first passenger should be John P. Manning of Pitts field. It chanced that day that Miss Hulae was in Pittsfield too. on leave of absence from the hospital In New York. She went to see the balloon flight and was in the crowd that gath ered about the tugging thing of silk and gas that half a hundred men could barely bold down. They had chatted and laughed to gether before things were ready, and Miss Ilulse stood close to the basket to see the cast-off. Dr. Stowell was busy setting things to rights and get ting everything ship-shape when he noted that bis airship seemed even too buoyant. It was plain to bis ex perienced eye that she would shoot j up in the air like a rocket—something j that every aeronaut dreads. He glanced about There was no more ballast—yes, there was Miss Hul se, who stood smiling by the side of the basket to watch Dr. Stowell make his upward shoot into the air. Per haps something else beside mere bal last was in his mind too. Perhaps there was something in a pair of merry eyes! Invitation Accepted. Anyway, the budding man of the air made up his mind right then and there. The helpers were ready to let go and cast off. “Oh. Miss Hulse," sang out Dr. Sto well. “just a minute, please. Remem ber what you asked me the other day? Here's your chance. We need a little ballast. Want to come along?" “In a minute!" laughed Miss Hulse. Her mother was there, and several j of her friends. They protested. Why, there were two in the basket of the balloon already, and a trip in the air was most dangerous, and the sky looked threatening and—oh, it was al together too perilous. f or answ er 10 an tnese oojections the pretty girl let herself be helped into the wicker basket that hung un der the swaying bag of gas, and in a minute more the lines were loosed. 1'p. up. shot the airship Into the blue. The crowd cheered for a moment, but held its breath when the baloon hit into a cross current and barely missed ending its trip then and there. It missed the tall chimney of a factory, just escaping disaster by a foot or two. Then began in earnest the flight into the turquoise of the sky. In a jiffy the balloon was only a dot among the clouds. The last of the crowd saw them, the new-fledged pilot and his two passengers were leaning over the side of the basket waving their hands at the people be low—three midgets moving under a big blue bowl. Landing Safely Made. That night a wire to the club brought the news that a landing had been made safely 25 miles away, at Shelburne Falls, but nothing was said of the really important feature of the trip. Nor was Dr. Stowell’s “ascen sion card." any more enlightening. In view of subsequent events, however, this card, which he filed with the rec ords of the club as required by the rules. Is of Interest If an airman of the future were to find this card in looking up the records of balloon ing In the early, twentieth century be would find that It was to all appear ances a most uneventful trip. A« the card runs: “Ascension, No. 7. "Balloon, Pittsfield. Heart of Berk Bhires. "From, Pittsfield. “To, Shelburne Falls. “Time up, 10:25 a. m. Down 1 p. m. "In air, 2 hours 35 tiinutes. Miles 25. “Altitude, 10.000 feet "Weather, fair. Temperature. 7S. "Wind, southwest. “Course, northwest. "Passengers. Miss Blanche Hulse, John Parker Manning. "Pilot. Dr. Sidney S. Stowell." As far as ballooning went, that gave Dr. Stowell an ample record. The miles made, the hours of flight, the carrying of passengers were now all down in black and white, but certain details quite Important, were wholly omitted. "I was too busy leaning over the side of the basket taking my photo graphs," said Mr. Manning, "to guess what was going on. But I could di vine without more than a look that my attention to things on earth be low would be appreciated by the other passengers." Of this Dr. Stowell says: "Whatever John Manning may say about it. if he admits he looked over the edge of the basket, that eliminates him as the only wifness of whatever proposition I submitted to the then Miss Hulse. We were up about two miles, and so with his observation accounted for I think we can safely say we were beyond the attention of unsympathetic third parties. Just “Ballast." •As for inviting Miss Hulse. that is simple enough. I needed about 100 pounds or so extra weight, and so when I saw her In the crowd as we were getting ready to go up 1 asked her to take the trip with me. for 1 had known for a long time that she wished the experience of a flight. It was an Ideal day for It. and we sailed over some of the most beautiful spots In the Berkshires. including the es tate of Senator Crane, In the town of Windsor. “The most Interesting part of the flight? Well, I dropped from the alti tude of 10,000 feet by loosening the appendix cord Instead of pulling the rip cord, and let the balloon come down in mushroom shape as a para chute. My passengers didn't mind, and we landed gently on the Nelson farm, only seven miles from the rail road station at Shelburne Falls. Miss Hulse was a first rate air sailor, and as Mrs. Stowell she will accompany me on flights this summer." The marriage was performed by Rev. C. Rexford Raymon, pastor of the South Congregational church In Rrooklyn. As for the honeymoon, the bride says: "I shall be glad to go up again with the coming of warm weather. 1 enjoy flying. Afraid? Why. that never en tered my head when Dr. Stowell was the pilot."—New York World.

Two great aids to beauty and health In the world are the simplest and least often followed. A woman who will not fail to take obnoxious medicine recom mended by her doctor, at the most in convenient times, finds It too difficult to adopt these two remedies—fresh air and quantities of pure water. Even those who have successfully educated themselves in the fresh air cult still neglect the equally Important habit of drinking plenty of pure water. They dally bathe the body externally without a thought of the necessity of Internal bathing. Any doctor wilf tell you that a cer tain quantity of water should be tak en dally; a pint and a half is the very least that one is supposed to drink. Yet there are many people who never drink water at ail. When one thinks of the cleansing power of water upon the body applied externally one is astonished that It la not more universally used as an inter nal cleanser. A woman whose complexion was the envy of all drank thirteen glasses of pure water a day between meals and slept with every window in her bed room wide open. While she was for- j tunate enough to start life with a good complexion, she attributes all the ! freshness and youth of her looks to j these simple causes. The morning bath has become a ne cessity to all who indulge in the nice ties of life, and it would be well if the morning drink would also be adopted by women. Nothing is so good for one as to take a glass or two of water immediately after one’s bath, or the first thing when one rises. If cold wa tter gives one a feeling of nausea, and it does to many, take hot water. This should be drunk as hot as one can bear it and in as great a quantity as one can stand. The Juice of half a lemon in it works wonders for the complexion and the health. Every woman should take all reason able precautions to keep herself well. because 111 health saps vitality. Each time one is ill a tiny bit of youth and freshness ts sacrifled. One's reserve force is lowered, and every illness acts against the preservation of one's good looks. Hegin at once to throw open all your windows and to drink water all during the day, and you will be astonished to see how much younger you will look and how much prettier you will be. And youth—in face and figure—is now the aim and desire of every woman. She strives for its slim freshness as she used to strive for beauty. Hardly in His Line.

EM HE mind may feed on fancy, but the matter-of-fact stom ach imperiously demands something more substantial. The Kitchen. Much has been said and written about the modern up-to-date kitchen. The ideal kitchen is not within the means of the everyday housekeeper; but it Is possible to have one that Is both convenient and attractive with small cost. Have the kitchen on the ground floor, if possible. The north and east exposure is considered the best, with plenty of air and light. If the window light Is not sufficient, paint the walls and woodwork in light tints. The walls should be of hard finish, which can be cleaned. Most housekeepers like a pice floor covered with linoleum, the soft wood being easier for the feet than a hard wood floor. To preserve linoleum, varnish It each fall and spring. After it Is hopelessly worn off It may be painted in a solid color with a border of some contrasting hue. if desired. Kitchen tables are best covered "with sine, which saves the constant scrubbing. When it is necessary to set a hot dish down the table need not be injured. The sink and drain pipes should be | carefully flushed every day with boil ing water. Washing soda should be I used frequently In the hot water to I dissolve the grease gathered in the | pipes. A cupful of hot copperas water Is a good disinfectant, as Is chloride of lime. All kitchen refuse should be burned when possible. If the zinc table becomes stained, scour It with bath brick and kerosene Rinse the tea towels in cold water I then in hot soap suds and again in , coid water. Hang In the sun and air j j to dry. To clean linoleum or oil cloth, wipe with a cloth wrung out of warm water, to which a little milk has been added. Much of the flavor, delicacy and wholesomeness of food depends upon the care of the utensils used. Good ' coffee cannot be made in a pot that is simply rinsed out and put back on the stove. A coffee pot must be | washed, scalded and cared for just ! as carefully as the milk dishes. Sun the pot every day. The sun is a good I germicide. _ win nsimmer ana cnisei ana pen. t We will work for ourselves and a wom an. for ever and ever Amen. —Rudyard Kipling. National Salads. The following salads may be prop 1 erly termed national, as they are the favorite salads of the people in the several countries the name of which is given the salad. German Salad With Sausage.—Boil four frankfort sausages twenty min utes, cut in half-inch pieces. Boil halt a pound of sauer kraut ten minutes, j drain and cool and mix with the sau sage. Cut up two winter radishes and arrange around the salad. Sprinkle with minced onion or shal lot. pickles and capers, chill and serve with French salad dressing. Russian Tomato Salad.—Arrange a bed of torn lettuce leaves in a salad bowl. Peel four tomatoes of medium size, cut fine and mix with six sar dines chopped, after skin and bones are removed. Place on lettuce and serve with either mayonnaise or French dressing. Cuban Salad.—Rreak up four dry soda crackers, shred two sweet Span ish peppers, removing core and seeds. Slice very thin one Spanish onion, skin, bone and mince six anchovies and mix all together. Serve on let tuce with French dressing. Nontese Salad.—Bake four mild flavored onions until tender, .remove the tops and put a lump of butter on each. Season with salt and when cold cut In quarters. Add four quartered eggs and six sardines, chopped. Add parsley and mix a teaspoonful of curry with mayonnaise or boiled dressing, and serve. American Salad.—Mix equal parts of finely cut celery and apple, half the amount of broken nut meats and serve with a boiled or mayonnaise dressing.

Any kind of fish can be acceptably served as a salad, that which is boiled being generally preferred. In boiling, add a small quantity of vine gar. it will make the flesh more firm and tender. Fish salads require the addition of acids, lemon juice being the most acceptable addition. Cucumber salad is a good accom paniment to salmon, with a plain dressing. Is salmon and cocoanut, with a little chopped pickle. Herring Salad With Potatoes.— Wash four salt herring and scak in milk several hours, then drain; re move the fillets and sides and cut in pieces. Cut four small potatoes which have been boiled, half the quantity of apples, a beet and a pickled cucumber. Mix all together, sprinkle with chopped chives and parsley; add salt, peppier and vinegar, decorate with hard-cooked eggs. Household Hints. Baked apples cored before baking and filled with orange marmalade are a well-liked dessert For an afternoon tea, macaroons with thinly-sliced sage cheese be tween is a delicious dainty. Every kitchen should be supplied with plenty of soft soap. It can be made in the home. Steel forks and knives should be cleaned with scouring brick after each meal. Never dry molding boards or choi> ping bowls by the fire after washing, as they are so apt to warp and crack if exposed to dry heat while wet. To remove the odor of onion from wooden or other dishes, fill with cold water, adding a tablespoonful of wash ing soda to a quart of water. Soak for a while, then heat the water boiling hot and use it to flush the sink pipes. In this way the soda answers two purposes. Cool bread and cake on racks made for the purpose, or one may be im provised. Covering bread with a cloth allows It to sweat, and this oftefi spoils the flavor. ~~>J V H- r,va 1 IS thirst he slakes at some pare neighboring brook.

In preparing a meal, if a neavy soup, like cream soup is used. I the main dish of meat should be less hearty, as the cream soup is very nu- j tritious. When fish is served a heartier dessert is allowable, to give a well-balanced ration. For a day’s ration for the ordinary individual, twelve to sixteen ounces | of meat is sufficient; the same amount of flour and grains, eight to ten ounces of potatoes, six to eight ounces of fresh vegetables and fruits, le gumes and dry fruits each one ounce, sugar rwo to three ounces, milk four to sixteen ounces, butter one to two ounces and egg two ounces. Multiply this by thirty, and we have an allowance for a person a month. This is a ration worked out by Miss Barrows, of which she writes: “If the larger quantity of potatoes is used the smaller quantity of flour and grains would be ample; while if eggs were cheap and several were con sumed, there would be a correspond ing reduction in the amount of meat and fish. People who try to live very econom ically and so buy the cheaper foods, are likely to have too little protein food, while those who have an abund ance are apt to take too much and overload the system, causing various diseases. It is not necessary or practical for a housekeeper to estimate the food principles in each dish she serves, but by balancing accounts once in a few weeks by the daily ration, she may know whether she is meeting the needs of her family. Of course, one must consider that the growing boy needs food to supply heat and energy and at the same time build up bone and muscle. The growing boy needs as much food as the grown man. The man In the office does not need the amount of food that the farmer work ing in the open air finds necessary, so that our rations should conform to the age, occupation, climate and condi tion of health. If we are to be a nation of people who do things, we must have clear brains and healthy bodies, and food is the most important factor. Many Women in Banks. Ten years ago there were only two women bankers in Kansas, now there are more than 550, if one counts as bankers the presidents and so on, in cluding the cashiers and directors. There are four women presidents, 15 vice-presidents, 50 cashiers. 250 assist ant cashiers and 250 directors. Miss Anna Speck, who is of the bank com missioner’s office, says that if there were more women bankers there would be no need of bank supervision and no "bankers' colonies" in the state pris ons. She has found them absolutely honest in their accounts. She knows all about the banks of her state. Fame. "It is a great honor for a states man to have his portrait circulated before the gaze of posterity on our ■ national currency,” remarked the treasury official. “Yes." replied Senator Sorghum. j "and yet did you ever know anybody to hold on to a dollar bill long enough to know whose picture'is on it?"

Samantha. wh( had been shopping. “Samantha,” he began enthusiastic ally, “yeou may talk about yeour canned goods all yeou please, but these here evaporated dishes have them beaten to a frazsle.” “Evaporated dishes. Sile?” “Yes. I just had evaporated spinach an’ evaporated asparagus.” “Do tell!" "Then came evaporated kale as a side dish an’ evaporated pears as des sert.” With a far-away look In his eyes the old man fished through his pockets. "Where be yeour change, Sile?” de manded the thrifty wife. "Blamed if I know, Mandy,” he drawled in a bewildered sort of way; "reckon that evaporated, too.” More Easily Recognized.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS A speedy and economical treatment I for disfiguring pimples is the follow ! lug: Gently smear the face with Cuti cura Ointment, but do not rub. Wash off the ointment in five minutes with Cuticura Soap and hot water and ; bathe freely for some minutes. Re peat morning and evening. At other times use hot water and Cuticura Soap for bathing the face as often as agreeable. Cuticura soap and oint ment are equally successful for itch ing. burning, scaly and crusted hu mors of the skin and scalp, with loss of hair, from infancy to age, usually affording instant relief, when all else fails.

The Pacific ocean covers CS,000,000 miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 and the Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000. To stow away the contents of the Pa cific it would be necessary to fill a tank one mile long, one mile wide and one mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures, the Pacific holds in weight 940,000,000,000,000,000.000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth of aot quite three miles. Its water weighs 325.000.000.000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank to contain it would have each of its sides 430 miles long. The figures of the other oceans are in the same startling proportions. It would take all the sea water in the world 2,000,000 years to flow over Niagara. A Dry Wash. Representative Livingston of Geor gia, who, disgusted at the bath-tub de bate in the house recently, proposed that a little money might be made by renting the bath tubs out, said recent ly, apropos of this subject: "We are now a good deal like Bill Spriggins on a zero morning.

There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other special ists. One of these told a young lady, of New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medi cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says: “For about 12 months I suffered se verely with gastritis. I was unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was com pelled to give up my occupation. “I took quantities of medicine, and had an idea 1 was dieting, but I con tinued to suffer, and soon lost 15 pounds in weight. I was depressed In spirits and lost interest in every thing generally. My mind was so af fected that it was impossible to be come interested in even the lightest reading matter. “After suffering for months I de cided to go to a stomach specialist. He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the keynote of a new life. “I found that I had been eating too much starchy food which I did not di gest, and that the cereals which I had tried had been too heavy. I soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that one eats, but the quality. “In a few weeks I was able to go back to my old business of doing cler ical work. I have continued to eat Grape-Nuts for both the morning and evening meal. I wake in the morning with a clear mind and feel rested. I regained my lost weight in a short time. I am well and happy again and owe it to Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. "There’s a Reason.” Ever read the above letter?
