Going Up In a Balloon and Com

THE AGONY OF A FIRST TRIP
Experience and Sensations of an Ac

The Dash Through Space.
I once wont up In a Imlloon and
eniuo down In n parachute. Something
went wrong, and all (he money In the
world doubled would not Induce ine to
make the experiment again.
One grows strangely accustomed to
dangers as an acrobat, and when It
was suggested that J should cum
In as many minutes by taking the place
of a parachutist who had fallen III at
the last minute I Jumped at tho chnuce.
It was at a large country fair. The
laughing crowd had probably never
?ccn a balloon go up. As the great
silk bag gradually swelled a silence
fell upou the onlookers.
The sick parachutist's manager pat
ted uie on the back and said It was
money easily earned. I agreed? then.
"Keep cool." he said, "and, whatever
you do. don't look down except to
judge your distance from the earth.
You see that tower? It Is about a
thousand yards away. When you are
that distance up pull the check string
and shut your eyes."
A dull murmur rose as the ropes were
cast off and 1 felt iuy feet leave the
grouud. The upward movement was
gentle, and a great cheer came up to
me until the band drowned It.
I hardly heard the cheering or the
baud. The Involuntary, murmur still
rang In my ears. Perhaps my nerve*

THEY WENT TO CHURCH.
A Bit of Strategy Yhnt Won For the
Mini iter.
"When Bishop Wlluier wuh rector of
the little Protestant Episcopal church
at Uppervlile, Va.," said a Vlrglula
minister, "he was much worried by the
uouattendauce at service ou Sundays
of the majority of the young men of
tile community. On lu.julry be found
that Instead of going to church they
wore In the habit of playing mnrblcs
for stakes. Marbles in those days, li
must l?e remembered, was a much
more serious game than It Is now. oc
cupying much Hie same position In the
realm of sports as do billiards and pool
In these days.
"Bishop W'llmer, then a 'parson' not
well known, determined to break up
this practice. He himself had been an
expert marble player in his boyhood.
Accordingly one Saturday he ciyne
across a numlier of the young men en
gaged lu a game. The good bishop
asked several (juestlons and finally
challenged the lot to play him for
'keeps.' They readily consented.
"Much to their astonishment, the
young minister won steadily, and soon
they had to go to the stores to replen
ish their stock. Toward the close of
the afternoon Mr. Wilmer had won
every inarble lu the town of Upper
vllle. rutting his winnings in a bag,
he remarked. as lie walked away, 'Now.
gentlemen, since you can't play mar
bles tomorrow 1 hope to see you all
at church.' And he did."? New York
Tribune.

The Too Fat.
Fat hens, being wretched layers, are
always sold off by farmers.
The early Romans banished all use
less persons. Including the fat In this
category.
Ovid, lu his "Art of Love," says.
"Keep ever slender and supple, for the
fat have no success with women."
The Gentoo trllie enter their houses
by a hole In the roof of n certain pre
scribed size, and they who grow too
bulky to enter by this hole are slain as
useless and lazy.
In lCugland It was once the law to
put the fat to death? "All dronklttls.

History of Smallpox.
Smallpox appears to have been first
described by B hazes, an Arabian phy
sician living about 900 A. D. It was
introduced into southern Europe In the
time of the crusades and slowly spread
into the more northern regions, in
1317 it was carried from Spain to San
to Domingo aud thence to Mexico,
where it is said to have swept off
3,500,000 of the natives. It spread rap
Idly all over the new world, aud whole
villages and even tribes of Indians
were carried off by it.
