VACATION IN A BALLOON.

going to take their vacation this summer
in a balloon. They do not propose to
imitate Andree and start for the pole,
bpt they have an idea that it will be
pleasant making short trips in a bal
loon. A skilled balloonist is to accom
pany them and manage the flight of the
»«rial ship.
The balloon which they will choose
is an ordinary picnic balloon, such as is
u$ed every spring at county fairs. The
ascension is made with the aeronauts in
a car suspended from the balloon, and
the travelers carry with them pro
visions to last a day or two, also cork
life preservers and a few toilet neces
sities.
Ascensions will be made pleasant
mornings, with the intention of -jour
neying only as far as some neighbor
ing town and dropping there to rest,
after which a return trip is to be made
home. But as all signs fail in balloon
ing. there may be a slip, and it is this
which the fair balloonists are provided
for.
! In case the balloon soars too faraway
I and exhausts too much air for a return,
a skilled balloonist, who is of the party,
j will lower them to the earth. Then
they will pack up the balloon and jour
I ne y home on the cars. The rubber suit
: is to be used in case of a watery descent
in tlic middle of the ocean or river. In
this case the life preserver is hurriedly
put on and the party get to shore as well
as they can. The provisions are for a
stomach stay unt il shelter and food are
found. It is an adventurous plan, and
the capricious young women may aban
don it before the summer season is here.

Novelty That One llreaamaher 1
Dividing Among Her Favorite
Cnatoinera.
A dressmaker, recently returned
from Paris, brought a small but very
valuable piece of red material, which
she is going to divide sparingly

Just now the
manufacturers have not been able to
complete the material in the way they
desire. Now the only color in which
this material can be made is light red,
of the hue that the farmer wears when
ble to impart the merits of this iuven- |
tion to other colors, although it would 1
probably become just as popular iu the
present red monotoDy. For this cloth
can retain in the most wonderful way
the odors of perfume. It is expected
to solve, in the best fashion, the prob
lem as to the best way in which to per
fume dresses.
Many other expedients have been
tried, such as small sachets sewed in
the draperies, but none of them is so
simple as this cloth, which is laid in
the lining or otherwise concealed about
the waists. It diffuses a delicate odor,
which is never exhausted, however long
the time of a gown's use may be. Vari
ous scents may be given to the cloth,
and the number will be increased ns the
maker» complete the details of the
work.
When the material goes on the mar
ket there is little danger that this new
invention will ever become common.
The price is prohibitive to any but
women who are willing to pay for what
they want, whatever it may cost.
Destroying tile Point.
Everyone knows the man who is no
torious for so telling a story ns to de
stroy its point. An English nobleman,
Lord P-, was noted for his success in
thus ruining the prosperity of a story.
The author of "Collections and Recol
lections" exhibits a specimen of his
lordship's peculiar art. Thirty years
ago two large houses were built at Al
bert Gate, London, the size and cost ol'
which seemed likely to prohibit ten
ants from hiring them. A wag chris
tened them "Malta and Gibraltar, be
cause th*-v can never be taken." Lord
P- tho /ht this an excellent joke,
and ran round the town, saying to every
friend he met: "I say, do you know
what they call those houses at AllA*rt
Gate? They call them Malta and Gib
raltar, because they can never let them.
Isn't it awfully good?" Someone told

DEWEY'S VALET AN AUTHOR,
What the Admiral Can»ht Him Writ*
ln» One Mght In His
Chamber.
After Admiral Dewey retired one
night recently at the Waldorf-Astoria,
he discovered an uuthor in his room.
He was not surprised, because nothing
ever surprises him. He laughed about
it when he got up in the morning, and
he joined heartily in the laughter which
followed his rehearsal of the incident
to his relatives.
It seems that when the admiral re
tired, shortly before eight o'clock, he
was too tired to sleep. Finally lie
opened his eyes and discovered that
the far corner of the room was illum
inated.
"What are you doing, boy?" he cried,
and his Chinese servant jumped to his
feet with a start. It was his custom
to sleep under his blanket in the corner
of the room.
"Writing," replied the scared Celes- !
tial.
"Writing what?" demanded the ad
miral.
"Book," and that was all he could
say.
The admiral got interested. What
could the boy mean? he asked himself.
Then, from his position in bed, be in
vetigated. On the floor there was a lit
tle Chinese lamp, throwing out a feeble
and intermittent light and ingeniously
shaded so that its rays would not pene
trate the darkness surrounding the
admiral's couch. Before it on the floor
the blanket was stretched, and in one
corner rested a lot of Chinese writing
materials and paper.
"He told me he was writing a book
about roe and my reception, and he
was going to take it to China and have
it published in his native language,"
»nid the admiral, in telling the story to
his relatives, "lie thought the story
was too good to keep, and he meant to
enlighten his people.
lie was writing
a book about me on the floor of my bed
room while I was trying to sleep."
When the servant was helping him
with his toilet iu the morning the ad
mirai started to converse with him.
He could not subdue his interest, it
was like a new baby coming into the
family and had to be discussed. The
admiral invited his impression of other
things.
_
What do you think of this hotel,
boy?" he asked.
"Grand," replied the boy, as he
stopped in the middle of the floor to
give the word emphasis and eloquence.
"Why, that was a pretty fine hotel
we stopped at iu your country," said the
admiral.
"Oh, no," said the boy, quickly. Then
he stopped and looked around before
continuing: "China hotel four, the,
six times go inside."— N. Y. Times.
BANKING ON LUCK.

less he derived a profit that was based
on some fixed principle and not de
pendent upon mere luck or chance.
Just where the profit comes in, how
ever, is something that very few people
understand. Most of them imagine it
is derived from some slight advantage
in the arrangement of the game, such
as the 'zero' numbers in roulette or the
'splits' in faro, but. they are very much
mistaken.
''It really depends on a principle that
applies to all games alike, and is what
might be termed the 'percentage of
capital.' Strange as it may seem, 1
could take a capital of $1,000 and begin
pitching nickels, in which the chances
are perfectly even, letting the players
guess either way they wanted to, and I
would make a steady profit, day in and
day out. The secret is this: The aver
age player has only a. limited amount of
money, and a slight run of bad luck '
wipes him out. He is obliged to quit,
and somebody else takes his place,
I while the house keeps right on through
good luck and bad, continually swell- j
ing its reserve with the cash of the :
broken players.
•'To simplify the matter, suppose 1
have 100 pennies and you hav® one, and
we begin matching. One loss breaks
you, but I can stand 10 !» losses before
having to quit. You may have a spurt
of luck at the sttyt, but in the long run
I am morally Certain to wipe you out.
That principle of the percentage of
