BALLOONING.
MANY AERIAL TRIPS THAT HAD
FATAL KE8CITS.
Feeling of Aeronaut at Dtzzj
Heights One Would Not Raise
a Finger to Prevent Death
A Remarkable ISseape.
REGISTER of death from bal
looning tells of the aeronaut
Comaschi, who, in 1845, as
cended from Constantinople
before the gaze of ae chering crowd and
disappeared forever. In the same way
Ledet left St. Petersburg in a balloon in
1847 and wu never seen again. On the
. 8th "of September, 1850, Gale rose from
Bordeaux with a horse for ballast and
descended at Cestas at seven o'clock in
the evening. The horse was removed bj
peasants and the balloon rose with in
credible rapidity. The aeronaut was
found in Gascony the next morning fuf
focated by hydrogen gas. The aTi9
er Arban made his last ascension in
Bpain. He was carried away by a se
vere wirid and fell among the snows of
the Pyreneel or into the 6ea and was
never seen again.
On September 15, 1851, Tardini left
Copenhagen, accompanied by his wife
and son. He descended on the island of
Sceland, and, starting again alone, w?
never heard from. September 2i,
Merle made an ascension at Chalons-sur-Marne,
and died asphyxiated by gas.
His assistant, a hunchback, received no
injury.
A singular accident occurred at Bu;n33
Ayres Miy 24, 1869. The aeronaut,
Baraille, rose from the centre of the city,
hovered over it, and descended in a
roadstead. A number of boats and a
steamboat hastened to, save him from
drowning: The steamboat's smoke
stack set tire to the ga and an explo
sion destroyed the balloon and the steam
boat. The crew and oarsmen were
thrown into the air; eight were killed
and twenty-five wounded.
At the time of the memorable siege of
Paris, from September, 1870, to Feb
ruary 1871, the organizers of the aerial
post conceived the unfortunatj plan of
having the balloons start at 11 o'clock
in the evening to avoid the enemies' ob
servation. The same end would have
been obtained by starting at 4 o'clock in
the morning, while, starting in the mid
dle of the night there was great risk of
reaching the sea before daylight. The
unwise plan cost the lives of two aero
nauts, and might easily have caused the
loss of many more. On the 30th of
November a sailor named Prince started
from the Orleans railway station, which
had become an aerial station; there was
no moon and the wind blew violently.
The aerostat was driven westward rap
idly, and at dawn fishermen saw it dis
appear, swallowed by the waves. Prince
must have been drowned.
The same night, half an hour later, a
second balloon was 6ent up" from the
Station du Nord, and it also reached the
ocean at sunrise. It seems that the com
mission, after determining the rate of the
land breeze, gave the sailor aeronaut
strict orders to remain in the air ei"ht
hours. But the balloon carried a sec
ond passeDger. When they had reached
the ocean and the balloon was passing
over Belle Isle, the passenger, disregard
ing the cowmaad, opened the valve. If
another moment had elapsed, the second
balloon would have shared the fate of
the first.
On January 27, 1871, at the time of
j the armistice, the last but one of the bal
loons used during the sieaje left the Sta
4 ion du Nord commanded by a sailor,
'Uacare, and was lost in the sea off La
Rochelle.
It seems miraculous that the balloon
which Left the Orleans Station on No
vember 21st was not lost in the sea. It
started at 11 o'clock in the evening.anl
in fifteen hoars was driven by a tempest
across the North Sea and beyond Chris
tiana in Norway. The aeronaut, Roller,
and his companion believed themselves
absolutely lost during long hours of
agonJ ad owed their deliverance only
to their courageous perseverance and to
the geographical contour of the Nor
wegian coast. As they passed over a
mountain of fir trees the anchor was cast
from the car and they were saved. Of
the sixty-four post balloons 6ent out
during the siege, two were lost at sei
and four others barely escaped a similar
fate.
On July 4tb, 1873, another aerial
shipwreck occurred at Ionia, Mich. Tco
aeronaut, La Montam, who the year be
fore had very nearly been drowned In
Lake Erie, conceived the fatal idea of
suspending his car, not to a net envelop
ing the aerial globe, but to a series of
independent ropes fastened to a circle of
wood placed above a Montgolfier. The
ascent was very rapid. It was noticed
that the car did not remain in a vertical
position; the cords slipped, littlt by
little, and uniting on one side set the
. balloon free. The car fell like a stone,
while the unfortunate man, clinging con
vulsively to it, retained sufficient pres
ence of mind to attempt to turn himself
head downward and make the car serve
as a parachute. When thirty yards front
the earth he lost his hold, aud his body
was driven six inches into the ground.
. On April 15, 1875, Croce Spiuelli an-i
Sivel were killed in the catastrophe o
the Zenith. At 11:30 in the mornin
tlie aerostat rose majestically from th
gis factory of La Vilette, carrying wit
it the three aeronauts, Crooe-Spinell

yards, but its passengers had fainted in
the car. At a height of 6000 yurds they
were overcome by a feeling of torpor,
previously felt at a much greater height
by M. Glaisher in his ascension. They
had not dreaded the experience, being
convinced that the inhalation of oxygen,,
would be sufficient to prevent the un
pleasant feelings observed in former as
censions. But at such great altitude the
pulse very soon quickens, and gradually
and insensibly body and mind grow
weak. One becomes absolutely indiffer
ent, and before long consciousness would
not raise a finger to prevent death. 'Ona
does not suffer at all,' wrote the sur
vivor of the catastrophe; "on the con
trary, it seems as though the surround
ing rays of light fill you with joy. You
rise and are glad to riss." Dizzy

sion. After being in a swoon for half an
hour Mr. Tissandier awoke and saw his
friends in a faint on the floor of the car.
The balloon was descending rapidly and
the wind was strong. He had not
strength to throw out ballast and dropped
asleep again. In a few minutes he felt
some one shake his arm, and recognized
Croee-Spinelli, who had come to life and
was telling him to throw out ballast as
tbey were falling. But he could scarcely
open his eyes, and all he could remember
afterward was that he saw his companion
throw out the instruments, and every
thing he could find.
It u probable that the balloon mounted
again, for three-quarters of hour later
M. Tissandier woke again and felt the
balloon falling with frightful speed. The
car was swinging to and fro, describing
long oscillations ; his companions were'
crouched at the bottom of the car.
Bivel's face was black, his eyes glassy,
his mouth open and full of blood ; Croce's
eyes were half closed and his mouth was
bloody. Both men were dead. When
they reached the ground the shock wa3
lolent and the balloon seeemed to flat
ten. The wind was rapid and the car
was dragged over the fields, while the
bodies of the two unlortunate men were
tossed about and every moment were on
the point of being thrown from the car.
Finally the aeronaut was able to seize
the cord that opens the valve. The bal

COURTS IN CHINA.
BZTKAORDlNaRY MANNER OF
CONDUCTING TKIALiS.
Prisoner and Witnesses arf Tortured
Terrible Methods of Torture
Corrupt Judges Modes
of Punishment.
-7T WRITER in the New York
Times says that the manner in
V which trials are conducted in
Chinese courts would be a
startling surprise to all who have not
personally attended a court scene. Tor
ture is always resorted to in order to com
pel the accused to declare himself guilty
of the charge against him, and to such
an extent is it carried that it often re
sults in either causing the death of the
accused or else maiming him for life.
Persons unacquainted with Chinese sys
tems of judicial torture can scarcely be
expected to give credence , to an account
of the atrocities committed by the man
darins in their efforts to punish vice and
support virtue.
Trials in China are always public and
are usually attended by great crowds of
people, as are torture chambers, but so
awful are the cruelties practised that but
few persons ever care to witness them.
The Judge conducting the trial sits be
hind a large table covered with a red
cloth. The prisoner is made to kneel
in front of the table and perform the
tow-tow, as a mark of respect to - the
court, by whom he is supposed guilty un
til proved innocent, a not difficult under
taking, provided he has sufficient money
to bribe the mandarins and judges. As
the trial progresses various questions are
asked the prisoner, and if his answers
are not given willingly or are not what
the Judges wish them to be, then tor
ture is resorted to.
There are very many systems of tor
ture, the most generally used being some
of the following r The upper portion of
the body is uncovered and unmercifully
beaten with a large cane between the
shoulder blades. Should his answers
continue to be unsatisfactory, the cheeks
are violently beaten: with an instrument
made of two thick pieces of leather sewn
together at one end and shaped like a
slipper. The force with which this in
strument of torture is applied k suffi
cient to dislodge the teeth, and cause
the mouth to swell so greatly as to de
prive the poor unfortunate of the power
of t iking food.
Should he continue to maintain his
innocence an attendant beats his ankles
with a piece of hard wood. This is often
carried to such a degree as to crush the
bones of the ankle and thus ruin the
culprit for life. These are the milder
forms of torture. Some of the more se
vere forms resorted to are as follows:
The prisoner is made to , kneel down
and his arms are stretched and tied fast
to a horizontal bar passing under the
breast; in the hollow of the back of his
knee joints is placed another bar, upon
which two men seat themselves, one at
each eud, and so bear down on the
joints of the prisoner's knees, between
which and the ground chains are placed
to render the agony more unendurable.
Another method of torture is to place
the culprit in a rack, firmly tying the
arms and legs so that the body cannot
be moved, and then gradually distend
ing the rack, thus stretching and puliing
severely upon almost every muscle and
bone of the body This is probably the
severest torture ever resorted to, and its
effect upon the peison so awful that sel
dom does any one recover from it.
Torture is applied as often as the pits-
oner's etreugth will stand it until the
accused acknowledges his guilt or the
Judges decide of his innocence.
The torture systems are not confined to
the prisoners alone, but are almost as of
ten applied, at the discretion of the
Judges and mandarins, to the witness who
may be called in to give evidence at the
trial. So often aud injudiciously are
witnesses tortured that there is always a
great difficulty in the prisoner inducing
them to appear at the trial to give evi
dence in his favor. It is very often a
difficult if not impossible matter for a
visitor to a Chinese court to tell which
is the prisoner and tho witnesses; all
seem equally guilty, if we are to judge by
the tcrture applied to all alike.
In all Chinese courts of law the ex
tent to which bribery and corruption is
carried is simply astonishing. The ver
dict of the court is generally at the dis
posal of those who first interview the
mandarins and Judges and offer them
the largest sum of monev. The notori
ously bad character of the courts is
known over all China, but so prevalent
is vice and corruption in Chinese offi
cial circles than no reforms can be hoped
for. Were an investigation to be held,
it would be very similar to the old pro
verb of "setting a thief to catch a thief'
In the case of minor offenses where
torture need not be resorted to, the
punishments are not so severe and usually
consist of the prisoner being led through
the streets with a chain attached to his
neck, while an attendant of the court
follows behind, beating him w th a bam
boo cane over the naked shoulders and
back. The cangue, or wooden collar, is
the most usual way of punishing petty
offenders. The cangue consists of a
block of wood, from four to six feet
square and as mat: - inches thick. A hole
sufficiently large t receive the hed is
:ut through it, ctad the block allowed to
rest on the shoulders.
They vary in weight from about fifty
pounds, to so great that the wearer is
unsttle to sustain it, and consequently
has to remain lying down by far the
most uncomfortable manner in which it
can be worn. The period for which the
sentence lasts varies from one week to
three months during which time the
culprit is compelled to wear the cangue
day and night. The form of the cangue
prevents the wearer from acquiring a
comfortable position, either sitting, re
clining, or standing. The name of the
prisoner and the nature of his offense is
written in large letters on the cangue,
and he is required to stand at the city
gates, in front of the chief temples or
public halls, f ro:n sunrise to sunset, where
he is the object of scorn of all who p'a3S
by. In many case3 the cangue is so
large that the prisoner cannot use his
hands to eat his food, and in such case3
is dependent upon kind hearted passers
by to place the food in his mouth, and
as the Chinese as a rule are not over
gifted with kind heartedness, it very
often results in the poor fellows almost
starving through the negligence of their
spectators.
Another mode of punishment fre
quently resorted to is confinement in a
cage. The cage3 are of various forms ,
some not high enough to permit the
prisoner to stand upright, some too
short to allow him to lie down, and some
so low as to hardly allow him to sit
down. Over the top of these cages h a
cangue, which the prisoner is usually
required to wear, and which consider
ably adds to his discomfort. In some
cases this cangue is placed so high that
the prisoner's toes ju9t barely touch the
floor of the cage, thus making the neck
bear almost the entire weight of the
body. This method usually results in
causing death, and is not very often
practiced, unless the judges desire that
such shall be the end of this punish
ment. In cases of conspiracy, rebellion, or
attempts to overthrow the Government,
the laws of China are particularly rigor
ous. Such offenders are usually bound
to a cross and their bodies cut into 120,
seventy-two, thirty-six or twenty-four
pieces, according to the gravity of the
offense charged against them. Should,
however, it be clearly shown that an ac
cused person was unduly influenced to
join the conspiracy, then the laws allow
a slight mutilation of the body as a pun
ishment of the offender. Such mutila
tion usually consist of cutting off the
ears, nose or an arm, and serves as a dis
tinguished mark of the culprit's felony.
In cases of persons guilty of kidnap
ping a very common crime in China
and all thieves who with violence' steal
articles ot a value of not less than $500,
the penalty is always death by strangu
lation ; For minor offenses transporta
tion at hard labor to distant parts of the
empire is the usual punishment. The
terms of exile vary in length from a few
years to lifetime. In many cases. of
transported convicts the name of the of
fender, his crime, and the sentence are
tattooed on the cheek and forehead. This
is to prevent attempts to escape, and is a
very effectual means indeed.
A somewhat frequent summary death
punishment consists in binding the of
fender hand an i foot and easting him
into the nearest pond or river. Such a
sentence requires the sanction of all the
mandarins of the city or village in which
the offense was committed, and in such
cases is carried into effect as quickly as
possible after being agreed upon. This
is a rather popular mode of inflicting the
death penalty and never fails to draw a
large crowd of interested spectators.
Remarkable Temples.
Mayalipuram, India, js graced with
seven of the most remarkable temples in
the world, each of these unique places
of worship having been fashioned from
solid granite bowlders. Some idea of
their size may be gleaned from the fact
that the smallest of the seven i9 twenty
four feet high, seventeen feet long, and
twelve feet wide, and is divided into
lower and upper stories. The "Hevasa-Goda-Cla,"
the largest of the seven, is
three and a half stories high, its out
lines resembling those of an Atlantic
steamship. The inside of the bowlder
has been chisled away until the walls do
not exceed eight inches in thickness.
The two floors above that of the foun
dation are each about a foot in thick
ness, and seem as solid as the rock ot
ages. The upper stories are reached by
a spiral stairway, carved from the same
piece of granite; The second largest of
these stons temples has a portico eleven
feet wide and seventeen feet long, orna
mented with four crouching lions and
two elephants, all carved from the same
bowlder which goes to make up the main
building. Pittsburg Dispatch.

HOW TO HEKD' LACE.
Never try to mend lace without first
laying it over a color to de3ne the exact
work to be done. Not only will the
mending be more satisfactory, but the
strain on the eyes will not be so great.
Sometimes the lace is only torn and does
not need to be filled out with lace
stitchss as when part of the pattern is
destroyed. In such cases the edges of
the tear are only to be drawn gently to
gether with silk or -linen that matches
the lace in fineness, color and material.
The stitch used in sewing leather balls
is best for such work. It consists in
first putting the needle in one side and
carrying it across to the other, back and
forth, inserting the needle each time on
he under side. New York Post.
WAT TO ENJOY SPINACH.
Almost everybody likes to eat spinach.
And if properly cooked it is very good.

pan with four spoonfuls of cream. Re
duce it on a brisk fire and then set it on
the side of the fire. Season with pepper,
salt and nutmeg and add a small piece of
butter and the yolks of eight raw eggs.
Mix the whole well together and set it
aside to get cold. Then put some clari
fied butter in a frying pan and drop the
spinach into it, one spoonful at a time,
and manage it so that they will not touch
each other. Fry them nicely on both
sides, then serve on a napkin and garnish
with fried parsley.- New York Commercial-Advertiser.
CARE OF THE REFRIGERATOR.
The care of the refrigerator is one of
,the most important duties of the house
wife at all seasons of the year. In ' hot
weather, however, a week's neglect is
often productive of very serious results.
Nothing should prevent the regular per
sonal supervision of the housekeeper at
least once a week. If the refrigerator
be a movable one, it should have tree
access of sun and air. When the day
for the weekly scrubbing arrives take
everything out and remove shelves, slats
and ice rack. Scrub each one heroically
with hot soapsuds in which a plentiful
supply of washing soda has been dis
solved. Afterwards scald with a kettle
ful of clean, boiling water, wipe thor
oughly and place in the sun to dry.
While they are drying return to the re
frigerator and scrub out the ice chamber.
JDo not forget to run a flexible wire
down the pipe to see that it is not
(stopped up with decaying matter. Next
(pour a kettle of strong, boiling soda
water iu the ice chamber and down the
(pipe. Wipe all dry. Continue this pro
cess till all the walls are thoroughly
eleansed. Leave the refrigerator open
for awhile for a good airing, then return
the ice and food, and go about the rest
of your work with a clear conscience.

I had been troubled five months
with Dyspepsia. I had a fullness
after eating, and a heavy load in the
pit of my stomach. Sometimes a
deathly sickness would overtake
me. I was working for Thomas
McHenry, Druggist, Allegheny City,
Pa., in whose employ I had been for
seven years. I used August Flower
for two weeks. I was relieved of all
trouble. I can now eatthings I
dared not touch, before. I have
gained twenty pounds since my re
covery. J. D. Cox, Allegheny, Pa. (ft
