.Military Service Balloon*.
Balloons for warfare are a feature of
up to date modern improvements. The
big European armies have a well-or
ganized balloon, corps, and it is inter
esting to know that I’ncle Sam is doing
something in the same line. That this
government is interested in the air
tights of science is shown by the experi
ments. not only at the Weather Bu
reau, but in the Signal Service. Out
West, at a fort near Denver, the gov
ernment has a balloon in the course of
construction which is to be used as an
aid in war. The shape is that of an
ordinary halloon, but a drag-rope will
connect it with the ground. It will
carry several officers, whose work will
be to watch the enemy’s movements,
study the disposition and strength of
his forces, to make photographs of the
field and get all information possible.
An instrument called the telephone
telegraph, will be taken in this balloon,
and by means of the wire, a conversa
tion can be carried on between the oe-
cupuuts of the basket and the general
on the field below. Telegraphing can
also be done by the same instrument,
which lias recently been perfected by
an officer of this branch of the govern
ment service. Bicycles are used by the
Signal Service men and on a coil of the
wheel the wire is run and paid out as
the machine progresses. Thus, when
the balloou has started up, the officer
on the wheel rushes to the tent of the
General and the telephone wire is car
ried aloug and let out till the tent is
reached. This work makes direct com
munication between the otflcers on the
Held and the man in the air, who from
his station has a complete view of the
enemy and can thus give important in
formation to his superiors. The Gen
eral commanding thus gives his orders
from absolute knowledge of the enemy’s
strength, and the disposition of his
men. This will be of incalculable value
to the mode of lighting in the future.
The balloon, of course, is not designed
to flght, hut to be a watch-dog and keep
a sharp eye on the enemy. In the event
of a shot from tlie foe, the balloon would
be so high up as to make its effect un
certain. But even if it were struck
there is attached to the top a parachute,
which would enable the officers to de
scend safely into their own camp. This
parachute is part of the silken web »*f
the balloon- woven into the top so that
It is always spread ami ready for action.
Should a shot pierce the bag the silk
would collapse, but the upper frame
which is already a parachute, would
simply let the ear slowly down to the
earth. The French Government is said
to have a fine balloon built for use tn
war. It Is kept in a largo garden, and
no one is allowed to see it, nor has any
drawing been made or photograph
taken. It is steered as readily as a ship.
It is expected that it will he on exhibi
tion in the coining World's Fair in
Paris. The French balloon is said to b«*
a cigar-shaped envelope, within which
is the gas and a small bag, which is to
be pumped full of air. An electric
motor drives in the rear a screw pro
peller. It is said that the ship will lie
able to make a speed of at least twenty
five miles an hour.

The British soldier uses a vernacular
of his own, which must appear strange
to outsiders. For instance, he calls his
lied cot tho doss, and when he retires to
it he goes hed-filling. His food has cur
ious names. Bread Is rooty, and pud
ding with raisins is known as spotted
dog. When he is only supplied with
bread and tea for breakfast, he says he
has slingers. The gray-back is his
shirt, presumably from its color, jack
boots are John shoes, and a helmet is a
war hat. Kit inspection once a month
he calls rag fair. The Hergeant major
is the bloke, the quartermaster sc.
geant the quarter bloke, a shoeing
smith is Bhoey, the tailor stitchy, or
snip, and a Bergeant is No. 1. The
medical staff corps are poultice wallahs
or linseed lancers, and whatever drugs
receives from the dock or hospitals
'Ms black strap. If he thinks a
exaggerating—chancing his

terms the rouse. If he is put into the
guard room he goes to the clink, and if
he gets cells he is said to have got his
hair clipped. His sword is his cheese
knife, and sword exercise is wind slic
ing. Riding drill is bumping drill,
and physical drill is monkey motions.

General John Bankhead Magruder
will be remembered by the old officers
of the army as a great bon vivant, a
dashing soldier and a polished society
man. "Prince John,” as he was called,
while not afraid of field service, en
joying a nice, sort station immensely,
! particularly in Washington, and such
l was his charming manner, brilliant
j record and personal influence that he
was more than a match for a callow
’ Secretary of War. He once told me of
a characteristic interview he had with
Jefferson Davis while Davis was Secre
i tary of War. Said ‘‘Prince John:”
"I had been in Washington nearly all
! winter, and was anxious to be assigned
to duty here, when down came an order
i for me to report at some outlandish,
! one-company post in the West.
”1 went to the War Department and
sent in my card to the Secretary, and
was immediately ushered into his
room. Mr. Davis was sitting bolt up
right at liis desk looking cool and im
passive, not to say unapproachable.
“’Good morning. Mr. Secretary!’
said I.
” 'Good morning. Captain Magruder!’
said he.
“1 thought that in-fore requesting a
change in my orders I would try and
thaw him out a b't, and so, after a
few general remarks, began thus:
“ ‘When I was in Paris, Mr. Secre
tary, last year 1 was thrown a groat
deal with the officers of the French
army, saw several reviews and was
greatly impressed with the kindly feel
ing and admiration they expressed to
ward the United States, and when I was
presented at court the Emperor —’
“ ’Captain Magruder,’ said he, 'I de
spise the French.’ Then lie began to
look over some papers.
“J saw it was no good trying to work
French reminiscences, so I began
again:
’’ When I was on the frontier of Can
ada some years ago I was very hand
somely entertained by the officers of
the English garrison. The regiment
plate, priceless in value and associa
tion. was brought, and the dinner was
I one of the most recherche affairs l ever
i sat down to. The menu was —’
“ ‘Captain Magruder, 1 loathe the
English,’ said he.
"By this time 1 was somewhat rat
-1 tied, and began to fear it was no use;
; that infernal order would stick. Now,
; Davis and 1 had been at West Point
together and in the Mexican war, so 1
thought 1 would make one more effort
in the way of polite conversation.
“ ‘When we .were cadets at West
Point,’ Mr. Secretary—’
” 'Von have received your orders
from this department, have you not.
Captain Magruder?’
“ ‘Yes, Mr. Secretary: but, by the
way, do you remember the day in Mex
ico, just before Buena Vista, when my
battery was passing your regiment, you
called out to me —’
“ ’Good morning. Captain Magruder.
■ Upon your arrival at your post please
report the fact at once to this depart
ment.’
“Then l got up. We exchanged
bows, and I went out of that room route
step. Davis never did like me, and no
amount of savoir faire on my part
could ever make him unbend for a
moment. He was like that from cadet
to the end of his Presidency of the Con
; federacy."

With the winter Bayard Taylor came
on from his home in Kennett and took
an apartment in East Twelfth street,
and once a week Mrs. Taylor and he re
ceived all their friends there, with a
simple and charming hospitality. There
was another house which was much re
sorted to —the house of James Lorrimer
Graham, afterward Consul-General at
Florence, where lie died. I had made
bis acquaintance at Venice three years
before, and I came in for my share of
that love for literary men which all
their perversities could not extinguish
in him. It was a veritable passion,
which I used to think he could not have
felt if he had been a literary man him
self. There were delightful dinners at
his house, where tlie wit of the Stod
dards shone, and Taylor beamed with
good-fellowship and overflowed with
invention; and Huntington, long Paris
correspondent of the Tribune, humor
ously tried to talk himself into the reso
lution of spending the rest of his life in
his own country. There was one even
ing when C. P. Crunch, always of a most
pensive presence and aspect, sang the
most, killingly comic songs; and there
was another evening when, after we all
went into the library, something tragi
cal happened. Edwin Booth was one of
our number, a gentle, rather silent per
son in company, or with at least little
social initiative, who, as his fate would,
went up to the cast of a nuge baud
that lay upon one of the shelves.
“Whose hand is this, Horry?" he asked
our host, as he took it up and turned
it over in both of his bunds. Graham
feigned not to hear, and Booth asked
again, "Whose hand is this?” Then
there was nothing for Graham but to
say, "It's Lincoln’s hand," and the man
for whom it meant such unspeakuble
things put it softly down without a
word.
During the war the chaplain of one
*::diana regiments very often preached
to the boys from the text, "If God be
with us, who can be against us?" This
wus so often repeated that one of the
boys—of course he was an irishman
shouted the reply: "If yea raley must
know, sor, it’s the devil and Jiff Davis.”

Scarlet Few Settled in (he Back
AN OPERATION WAS UNSUC
CESSFULLY PERFORMED.
Tb* Patient flat Finally Bettered, After
Eighteen Year*.
From the Evening News, Newark, N. J.
About eighteen years ago. when Mrs.
Annie Dale, of 88 Bruce Street,was a bright,
merry school girl, she was taken ill with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was
a very different girl from a physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever
but it left her with an affection of the baok-
As she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never com
plained, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her
cozy home.
“I was fourteen years old when 1 was at
tacked with scarlet fever, and have now’
suffered with my back for eighteen years.
•’Night and day I suffered. It really
seemed as if I must succumb to the pain,
and then to make matters worse, my head
ached so badly that 1 could scarcely see, at
times. Finally I went to Bt. Michael’s
Hospital, at the corner of High Street and
Central Avenue, and there the surgeons
IKirfonned a difficult operation on my back
but it did no good; it was like everything
else. I was told at the hospital to return
for another operation, but the first had left
me so weak 1 could not go back. Then again
I had become discouraged and my three
children needed my attention and care at
home. The pain became harder to stand
and my back was almost broken, it seemed.
1 thought, I would never know what it
would be like to be well again when I was
told to try I)r. Williams' Pink Pills. With
many doubts, a faint heart and an aching
back 1 went to get the pills, and littlo
dreaming that they would prove the elixir
of a new life to me, 1 began to take them.
Only a short time elapsed before I began to
improve. Could it be possible that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills were doing what every
thing else had failed to accomplish! I asked
myself the question many times and before
long I was enabled by my improved condi
tion to answer the query with an emphatic
‘Yes.’ Now the pain of almost twenty years
is cured by these Pink Pills in a few
mouths. I have no pain of any kind now,
but 1 have got some of Dr Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, and while I do not
think it will ever be necessary to use them
again, 1 shall certainly never be without
them in the house.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. 'I hey are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow checks. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excessoT of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never
in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box. or six boxes
for *'-.50. and may be hail of all druggists,
or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medi
cine Company. Schenectady, N. V.

LESSON III—OCT. 20-“ RUTH’S
CHOICE”—RUTH 1 : 14-22.
Golden Text: “Thy People Shall B«
My People and Tliy God My God"
Ruth 1 : 10 —"Leaving the Laud ol
Sorrows.”
INTRODUCTORY :
This section in
cludes the whole
book of Ruth. The
book of Ruth is an
appendix to the
book of Judges. It
throws a charming
«. and true light over
BtmLtMtM the troublous time
the history of
which we have been
reviewing. The book lifts up the cur
tain which veils the privacy of domes*
tic life, disclosing to us the most beau
tiful views of piety, integrity, self-sac
rificing affection, chastity, gentleness,
faith, hope and charity. We must re
member that these virtues grew up in
the homes w’hile the Israelites were at
war. Time, 1222-1182 B. C. Place, near
Jerusalem. Ruth, after the death of
her father, returned from Moab, the
“land of sorrow,” whither they had
gone during the seven years’ famine.
Explanatory note —At this time there
lived a family at Bethlehem consisting
of Elimelech, his wife, Naomi, and two
sons, whose names indicate feeble
health. Finding it difficult to obtaiu a
living on the home farm on account of
the famine, and perhaps afraid of the
roving bands of the invaders, the fami
ly determined to emigrate to some safer
and more fruitful region, even though
it would compel them to bring up their
children amid heathen surroundings.
They went across the Jordan, probably
at the fords of Jericho, turned to the
south along the eastern shores of the
Dead Sea, and settled among the rich
fields of the Moabites. Here great
changes came to the family. In the
course of ten years the sons married
Moabitish women, and both sons and
Elimelech, their father, died in the land
of Moab, leaving the three women wid
ows. * * * It is plain that Naomi’s
personal character and her teachings,
shining out through the night of sor
row, had commended to her family and
neighbors the religion of the true God.
14 —And they lifted up their voice,
and wept again : and Orpah kissed her
mother-in-law; but Ruth clave unto
her.
15 — And she said, Behold, thy sister
in-law is gone back unto her people,
and unto her gods : return thou after
thy sister-in-law.
16 — And Ruth said, Entreat me not to
leave thee, or to return from following
after thee : for whither thou goest, I
will go; and where thou lodges, I will
lodge : thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God.
17 — Where thou diest, will I die, and
there will I be buried; the Lord do so to
me, and more also, if aught (anything)
blit death part thee and me.
18 — When she saw that Bhe was

steadfastly minded to go with her then
she left spewing unto her.
19 — So they went until they came to
Bethlehem. And It came to pass, when
they were come to (arrived at) Bethle
hem, that all the city was moved about
them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
tTheir coming created a great stir
among the people of Bethlehem.)
20 — And she said unto them. Call tue
not Naomi, call me Mara : for the Al
mighty hath dealt very bitterly with
me. (It was considered a sin to go
among idolators as she had done in
Moab.)
21— went out full (rich), and the
Lord hath brought me home again
empty (poor) : why then call me Naomi,
seeing the Lord hath testified against
me, and the Almighty hath afllicted me?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth
the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law,
with her, which returned out of the
country of Moab : and they came to
Bethlehem in the beginning of barley
harvest (usually in May).
