VACATION IN A BALLOON. I story is being whispered around l>«ris of two pretty actresses who are Two French Girls Have Determined to Take a Novel Trip Dnrinir Their Holidays. j j 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. —Providence Telegram. CLOTH CARRIES PERFUME. 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 among her most favored customers, After awhile, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, it will be accessible to a larger freie as (he material will ultimately be put upon the market we he six { . , , ... he has rheumatism, or did wear until a short time ago. Later it will be possi- * 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 Lord I*-the old riddle, "Why was tin is I of e * e l ) l ia nt. the last animal to get into the to which the uuswer is, UecauM* ho hud to pack his»truuk- Lord 1 1hc 0 f ,hc next friend Iu met, and gave as the answer "Because he a ^ had topack his portmanteau."—Youth's t ' ■•uipnniou. 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. Why Gambling EatablUhmenU Prove Profitable In the { Luna Ran. « "In all gambling games," said an old time sport, "there is a percentage in favor of the house." Anybody except a born fool knows that a man couldn't ^ tQ . an establishment, hire ... ,, .l_ >..... help, pay rent and defray all the hun dred and one incidental expenses un 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 capital is at. the bottom of the profits of every gaming house in the world from Monaco to Long Branch."—N. O.
