AN AERONAUTS STORY.
Yours is an odd trade.'
I made this remark to Mr. Fred
Burnett, a traveling acquaintance, as
the cars were noaring Toledo. He
had told me that he was a profes
sional aeronaut. His apcensionp,
however, were not made for scien
tific purposes, but as a means of
livelihood. For them he received
five hundred dollars, and sometimes
a thousand dollars a trip.
'Yes, an odd and a dangerous one
he replied.
'No doubt, especially when a bal
loon lakes fire iu the air, or collapses.
But,' I aeked, 'with judicious man
agement and in favorable weather,
is the peril really as great as most
people think it is?'
'Every whit!' exclaimed the aero
naut. I am never in tfie air an hour
that I am not made fully aware, in
some way, that my life is staked,
and staked, too, against heavy odds.
But the part of the venture that I
always dread is the coming down,
not the going up; especially coming
to earth in a gale of wind, or even in
a stiflT breeze.
'You see, too, that I am not liko a
'scientist.' I must leave the ground
on advertised time. "When 1 make
an engagement on a Fourth of July,
or with some menagerie, I must
leave at the hour announced, wheth
er tho aspect of the sky 19 favorable
or not. It won't do to disappoint
spectators after they've paid money
to satisfy their curiosity. A crowd
of people of that sort has neither
6oul nor reason. They expect you
to make tho flight, and will hoot and
sometimes use violence if it is not
made.
'I shall never forget an ascension
I mndo from Detroit. I was hired
for 'Vance's Great Circus and Cara
van.' It was the 23d of August. I
was to bo paid five hundred dollars
for the aRcent.
'I had with mo a young fellow
named Ned Eslcs. Poor Ned! "We
camo to Detroit the evening before
with the balloon, Hie Gypsy Queen,
a gay litllo air bubble of about nine
teen thousand cubic feet capacity.
'It was a bright morning, and we
took the Gypsy to the ground early.
A vacaut space had been encircled
by ft rope for us, and a hoso connect
ed with tho gas-pipe of some sort of
a factory about a hundred yards
away. "We began to inflate the bal
loon with coal gas. Common burn
ing gas is iif.cd in most of the large
towns for this purpose. Pure hydro
gen ga? is much more expensive and
difficult to manufacture, and the coal
gas answers almost as well, though
the odor is not agreeable.
It was pat eleven" o'clock when
wc ceased to inflate the balloon.
Then we allowed her to ascend
about thirty feet, and there hold her
to the ground by cords. This was
done for an advertisement, to draw
a crowd. And there was a crowd.
I think not less than five thousand
persons were in that circus. Tho
performance lasted till a little after
five o'clock in the afternoon, and
then the people streamed out aud
surrounded tho Gypsy.
'Meantime the weather had chang
ed. I never saw a more ominous
sky. The scuds had begun to fly in
the south, and every five or ten min
utes there would come one of those
dreary sighs of wind which, to an
aeronaut's ear, arc as significant as
.signal guns.
'Fred,' said Ned to me as wc were
hauling the balloon down, so that
we could get into the car, 'what do
you think the public hog would fray
if we were to let out the gas and
postpone this thing?'
'I replied that I shouldn't care so
much for what might be said as for
what might be done. A coat of tar
aud feathers, and a general distribu
tion of tho Gypsy in little pieces for
mementoes, would follow our refu
sal to 'go up.' Go we must, if we
died for it. That was of no conse
quence to the crowd.
'All right,' said Ned. But we bad
better come down at once, unless we
want to sail in a southwestern
'I urged Ned not to go with me,
the prospect looked so threatening;
but he replied
'Oh, I'm going! But, Fred, I
think we had better insert the words
'if the weather iB clear,' in our next
advertisement.'
'I thought so, too.
'It was a noisy crowd. Lota of
liquor had been drank, and there was
not a spark of pity for us in the
mind of a person present.
At a quarter after five the gnn was
fired. Ned leaned out of the basket.
'Ladies and gentlemen.' he shout
ed, 'wo are now about to bid yon
adieu! Good-night! I guess you've
sent us to our death,' he added, in a
lower tone of voice, as he turned
with a forced laugh to me.
'The line was cut. Gypsy, vault
ing from the ground, sailed up like
a great white bird towards the dark
ening sky. A shout followed ue.
Handkerchiefs were waved. But
we were soon high aloft and out of
earshot.
'I had kept tho hose on till the last
moment, so as to have every inch of
the canvas inflated, for, under the
most favorable circumstances, I
never like to hear a balloon flap, and
for tho last hour or two I had been
convinced that wo should bo forced
across Lake St. Clair before wo
reached the earth again. So, as I
havo said, I filled her with gas, and
took in three sand-bags of ballast.
'For two thousand feet wo went
right up up up, almost in a
straight lino. There seemed to be
scarcely a breath of wind. But
higher up we could seo the scuds
flyiug spitefully, and wo were rapid
ly approaching them. A few hun
dred feet more were passed, and we
struck the storm curreut. The Gyp
sy ducked and lurched off.
'Hold ou !' Ned bhouted, and if we
hadn't held ou, we should have gone
out of the basket, for we got a tre
mendous jerk. Tho balloon bobbed
her head and bolted northeast, right
out over the straits and tho lake. She
drew us after her at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, perhaps even faster
than that.
'But Lake St. Clair is a goodish
bit of water. "Wo were over it till
nearly seven o'clock, when the
woods and houses on the Canada
shore began to come iu sight, and
we were soon over them.
'Lot's get down,' said Ned, who
had bcou takiug a long look at tho
country. 'There's a large village
ahead. Let's try for that, and drop
as near it as we can.'
'I looked, and then pulled the rope
of the valve which, when opeu,
allows the gas to escapo so as to
drop the balloon down out of the
upper air current in which wo were
flying. The escape of gas caused
the Gypsy lo descend. She went
sagging dowu on a long incline for
perhapri a thousand feet, but still
continued to fly rapidly forward.
'"Wo had come within eight online
hundred feet of the earth, aud saw,
not a litllo to our consternation, that
the wind blow the trees fiercely, and
that a strong southeasterly gale was
sweeping tho ground. The wind
was more violent than it had been
aloft.
'I knew then thai we must encoun
ter some severe bumping, but neith
er of us anticipated such a gale as
that we fell into; for, as we
got
lower, we were swept on faster and
faster.
'At a height of 200 feet above the
trees and fences, we were carried
along at certainly twico the speed of
a race-hore! Fields and farm
houses sped under us. "We had
passing glimpses of hero aud thnro
an astonished faco turned up to
ward us.
'This never will do!' Ned shouted.
It's death to touch the ground !'
'Ho pitched out a bag of sand.
When it struck the earth it burst
like a shell. I threw out another.
Just then wo wore crossing a
road. A horse and wagon, contain
ing a man and woman, were passing.
Tho sand-bag Btruck the fence,
smashing it to splinters. "With a
horrified glance, the passengers plied
their whip. "We left them bounding
away at a gallop.
'The Gypsy vaulted into the air
again. The country flew from under
us. A heavy mist began to envelope
us. Soon drops of rain drove into
tho car. A stormy night was setting
in. The rain aud mist saturated the
cordage and increased the weight of
the balloon, and we again settled to
ward tho earth.
'Our situation can be imagined
flying at such speed over a country
the surface of which could now
scarcely be- distinguished! Ono
bump against the earth, a house, or
a rock, would probably be fatal
to us.
'"We must try the, hooks!' Ned ex
claimed. 'We had two anchors attached to
inch and a half lines that were 200
feet in length. I cast out one of
them, and we lay hold of the rope,
in expectation of a sudden arrest of
onr flight. Wo were slowly settling,
and it presently caught on some
thing. 'There was a prodigious jerk, but
the obstacle we bad hooked gave
way. The anchor bounded upward,
almost into the car, aud we rose
again, but only for a moment or two.
Then came a series of hitches and
jerks as the grapnel dragged after us.
'Fence poles were hooked up. One
post flew up almost to a level with
our faces. A moment later we went
over a farm-house. The anchor rip
pod up tho eaves and sent the bricks
rattling oft' tho chimney. What the
people inside thought of the hubbub
is mere than I know. Ned said they
might bless their stars that we had
not taken the house with us.
'All at once we heard a splashing.
Wc were passing over a pond. The
anchor was dragging In tho water.
Tho pond was covered with ducks.
They rose with sharp quackings and
a tremenduous rumble of wiugs.
One flew blindly into the car.
'The next instant we experienced
a terrific jerk. The anchor line
snapped. The balloon bounced up
from the earth. The anchor had
caught in a largo tree, and the cord
had broken like thread! We throw
out the other aucbor. It was our
one hopo.
'It had now grown very dark and
was raining hard. The anchor
caught repeatedly, but did not hold.
Wo were carried in this manner
several miles. Soon the bucket be
gan to graze the treotops.
'At length we hauled up the line,
and found why the anchor did not
catch ; both flukes were brokou oil!
I cut it loose. The balloon rose a
little.
'Ned then tied the anchor-line to
our last sand-bag, aud wo threw that
out, hoping it might hitch round
something. Evidently we were over
a forest. I could hear the heavy bag
crashing through the boughs.
'Suddenly we felt au awful jerk.
The car lurched downward aud
struck heavily against something.
Though wo wcro holding fast, the
shock wrenched our bauds from the
ropes. I was hurled forward, and
struck amid a mass of wet bnuh, at
which I clutched desperately. It
bent downward, but I held on and
it supported me.
'At the same instant I heard Ned
cry out, as if hurt. Tho balloon was
violently boating against what seem
ed to be branches. I could hear the
silk ripping, and smell tho escaping
gas.
'Very cautiously I felt about. Get
ting hold of the larger boughs, 1
found that I was in a trcetop. In a
short time I was able lo climb down
ward, and soon slid to the ground.
It was some kind of an evergreen
a large spruce, I think.
'As soon as I reached the ground,
I shouted to Ned. No answer fol
lowed. I groped about, but could
not find him. Lighting matches I
aiways carry them in my pocket 1
searched beneath tho trees near by,
aud came upon the poor fellow lying
upon his side senseless, about forty
feet distant, where ho had fallen.
'As quickly as possible, I collected
brush and branches of trees, ami
after much difficulty kindled a fire.
Ned was breathing faintly.
'By chafing him and by the aid ol
cordial from my flask, I brought him
to consciousness iu about ten min
utes. But he groaned niliabiv. and
I now discovered that his left leg
was broken above the knee. He was
dreadfully shaken up otherwise,
having been thrown thirty or forty
feet lo tho ground.
'I never was in such a quandary as
to what I ought to do. His leg
should be set at once ; but if I start
ed for holp in the darkness, I was as
likely to go further into the woods
as to find a settlement.
'Well, sir, what I did do was first
to build a better fire, then cut some
Bplints, and tear the linings of my
coats into bandages, and set that leg
myself!
'Of course I hurt him fearfully,
lie cried and groaned iu a way that
cut me to the heart. I straightened
and got the bones into position as
best I could; then I kept the fire
burning brightly, and stayed by him
till morning.
'When it bad at last grown light, I
climbed a tree and tried to get some
idea of the country. The Gypsy
hung in the tree-tops, a wreck. The
gas had all escaped and the canvas
was badly torn.
'I got the hatchet from tho car,
and, leaving Ned as comfortably
placed as possible, sot off, 'blazing
trees' as I went. I had seen some
thing that .looked like a clearing, to
the southeast, and started for that,
using my pocket compass. I tho't
I went at least nine or ten miles
before I camo out of the woods to a
house a shanty of French Cana
dians. mi- m. gamcicu a iUiiij'auj ui
five men and went back for Ned.
We got him to the Bbanty a little
before sunset. But it was not till
the next afternoon that I could get a
doctor from the village of Sanger
towu, soventecu miles below, to
visit him.
'The leg waa by that time bo swol
len and sore that the physician did
not think it advisable lo reset it, and
it never was reset. It got well in
time, and is now a pretty good leg.
'The Gypsy waa an entiro 1op3 to
me; I never got even the silk and
ropes out of the woods. She was
worth about a thousand dollars. So,

A STUDY OF 11UMBA.K1.
By a Woman for Women, hat Mea
May Read it with FroBt.
We hear much about tho art of
winning a husband. Let us tako a
stop further and make a study out of
keeping a husband. If ho is worth
winning he is worth keeping.
This is a wicked worfd, and man
is dreadfully mortal. Let us tako
him just as he is, not as ho ought to
be. In the first place, he is very
weak. Tho wife must spond tho
first two years in discovering all
these weaknesses, count them on her
fiugers, and learn them by heart.
The fingers of both hands will not
be too many. Thon let her study
up these weaknesses, with a mesh
for every one, aud tho secret is hers.
Is ho fond of a good dinner? Lot
her tighten the mesh around him
with fragrant colleo, light bread and
good things generally, and roach his
heart through his stomach. Is ho
fond of flattery about his look.-,?
Let her study tho dictionary for
sweet word, if her supply gives out.
Does he liko to hear her talk about
his brilliant intellect? Let her poro
over tho encyclopaedia to give va
riety to tho depth of her admiration.
Flattery is a good thing to study up
at all hazards, in its delicate shades,
but it must bo skillfully done. Tho
harpy who may try to coax him
away will not do it absurdly. Is bo
fond of beauty? Hero's the rub
let her bo bright and tidy ; that Is
half tho victory. Next, lot her bang
her hair metaphorically and keep up
with the times. A husband who
sees his wife look liko other people
is not going to consider her "broken
down."
Though it is a common sneer that
a woman has admitted that her sex
consider more, iu marrying, tho
tables of her frieuds thau her own,
yet it mut tint bo considered ludi
crous that a man looks at his wifo
with tho same eye- that other people
do. Is ho fond of literary mattors?
Listen to him with wido open eye
when he talks of them. A man
doesn't so much care for a literary
wile if only she will be literary
enough to appreciate him. If sho
havo literary inclinations let her
keep them to herself. Meu lovu to
be big and great to their wives.
That's the reason why a helpless
litllo woman can marry three times
to a sensible, self-reliant womau'd
none. Cultivate helplessness. Is ho
curioiiH ? Oil, then you hatre a treas
ure; you can always keep him if
you have a secret and only keep it
carefully.
Is he jealous? Then, woman, this
is not for you; cease reading; ccaio
torturing that fretted heart which
wants you for his own, aud tustch
him confidence. Is ho ugly in his
temper and laultfinding? Givo him
a dose of his own medicine, skill
fully done. Is he deceitful? Pity
him for his weaklier, treat him as
ouu who is born with a physical do
fect, but put your wits to work it
Is a bad case. It is well not to bo
too tame. Men do not waste their
powder aud shot on hens and barn
yard fowls ; they liko the pleasure of
pursuing wild game quail and
grouse and deer. A quail is a good
model for a wife neat and trim,
with a pretty swift way about it, aud
just a little capricious. Never let
yourself become au old story; bo
just a little uncertain.
Another important fact id, don't
be too good ; it hurts his feelings and
becomes monotonous. Cultivate a
pleasaut voice, so that this very
mortal man may have his conscience
prick him when he is in jeopardy;
ita pleasant ring will haunt him
much more than would a shrill ono.
It is hard to do all this, besides tak
ing care of the babies and looking
after vexatious household cares, and
smiling when he cornea home, but it
seems necessary. "To be born a
woman is to be born a martyr," says
a husband who for ten yeara has
watched iu amazement his wife
treading the winopress of her exist
euce. It is a pitiful sight to some
men.
But if the wifo does not make a
study of these thing, tho harpy will,
to steal away the honor from hid
Bilvcr hairs when ho is full of year3
and the father of sons and daugh
ters. At the same time, gudewife,
keep from trying any of these thiuga
on any other mortal man but your
own. These rules are only evolved,
to order to "keep a husbaud." Tho
poor, weak creature would rather bo
good than bad, and it is woman's
duty to hold him by every means in,
her power. The Argonaut.
Instead of being content to live so
as to escape blame, tho Christian ia
required to live so as to prove a
means of blesssing.
