A TRIP TO THE SUN.

The Million. Sir Fillemup Frog was an English baronet. He was a cold, calm, passionless man —almost as cold, calm and passionless as he was English. For years he had been a member of the London Beefsteak Club. Sir Fillemup "had three friends at the club. They met.every evening to bet. They would bet on anything. One day they bet on the length of their respective feet. Sir Fillemup won by two laps. “I would be willing to bet that I can climb up to the sun,” said he. His friends bet him <IOO,OOO, and the money was staked. • “I will start in three days,” he said calmly. “And how long-will you be gone?” they asked. “Ten days,” was the cool response. From that moment Sir Fillemup absented himself from the club. He was preparing for his flight. Hts preparations were simple. First he procured a suit of Japan silk, light and flexible. Then he pulled on a pair of boots of his own invention. The legs reached to the armpits. The soles were of gunbarrels arranged perpendicularly. From a belt at his waist depended two 4000-ton columbiads. The guns and columbiads were so arranged as to load and fire themselves 60 times a minute. The process was so simple as to make explanation unnecessary. With the recoil from the firing of these pieces Sir Fillemup proposed to secure a velocity of 1,000,000 miles an hour. This would enable him to reach the sun in four days and twenty-three hours He calculated to remain there two days. Then, reversing himself, he proposed to turn his guns loose again and return to the earth in the same time occupied by his ascent. He had fixed upon May 7, at 1 o'clock in the morning. A frame work bad been built to suspend him until he could get his ordnance in working order. Ata signal the guns opened, and Sir Fillemup dashed into the air. He had not miscalculated his velocity, though it seemed to him that he ought to have reached his destination in about ten minutes at the rate he was going. Still his pedometer showed only a rate of 1,000,009 miles an hour. There was nothing upon which the sun could reflect, and Sir Fillemup was in darkness after leaving the earth’s atmosphere, except when he looked straight at the sun. It was to him then a perfectly round ball, affording neither light nor heat. He did not feel that he was moving; he seemed suspended in space. Still he was nearing the sun. He could see it drawing closer. At the end of the second day he appeared to be surrounded by a yellow nebula. It was not dense, but a series of not unpleasant shocks showed that he was passing through a magnetic influence. The yellow belt appeared to be composed of sparks that compelled him to cover his face and hands. They were apparently iron filings in a state of fusion. His dress was protected from danger by fire by a preparation of alum. Toward the middle of the third day he emerged from this zone and entered another of intense cold and fearfully dark. Beyond he could see a peculiar mass of matter, brownish in color and oval in shape. Passing through the frigid belt the detonations of his cannons almost deafened him. It was clear that he had again entered an atmosphere. During the afternoon he passed through the warmer zone, and at 12 o’clock, just 95 hours after leaving the earth, he stood on the dun colored mass. He had reached the sun. What struck him as most peculiar was the warm, even temperature. There was no intense heat. Everything around gave the impression of iron, not in state of fusion, as he expected to find it, but moderate. No sooner had he landed than his cannons and guns were torn from him. They stuck fast to the surface of the sun.

He recognized the reason. He was on an immense magnet. How large he could not tell. He thought of the yellow zone and the cold belt* through which he had passed and saw the solar principle at a glance. The sun was but a fountain of electricity,generating heat and light, and feeling but little of either. There was no sign of vegetation or animal life. There was no shadows. Even the inequality of the surface cast no shade. He walked lonely and shadowless on the barren creator of all life. Around him, like an aurora, gleamed the yellow mist of the outer circle. There was no stars. There were no worlds. He occupied the life giving essence, oblivious to every living thing save himself. He put in two days on this line and then prepared to depart. But his cannons and guns were immovable.. He couldn't wrench the smallest rifle from its fastenings. The magnet held them like a vise. Then he remembered there was no gravitation except to metal. Slip{iing off a boot he found he was ighter, beoause the nails had kdpt feteWftS main in midair. .eansi He could not fall again to the sun. gravitation or atmosphere. Then he must die in space a few feet from substance. 4 ,

Suddenly be bethought magnetism can be beaten out of iron by a sharp blow. He had no stone to beat with, but dripping water is more powerful than rock, since it will wear rock away. He began to expectorate. In an hour he had split one cannon loose. In another hour the second columbiad was free. He had now not exactly time to the minute to return. But he had not time to release the smaller weapons, and without their recoil could he effect his return to the prescribed time. He would try it. Starting his columbiads he found himself in space. He had no idea how fast he traveled. His face was turned from the sun and there was no light. Composing himself he slept. When he came to consciousness he was in the hospital in London, with his three friends bending over him congratulating him on having won his wager. He had struck the earth, but not hard enpugh to injure him seriously. The reason was that he had been ten days without air, and when he struck the atmosphere he had inhaled so much that he swelled up like a balloon. The swelling burst his boots off, and his columbiads dropped into the sea, while he floated softly down and reached the ground with one minute to spare. An air pump had relieved him of extra pressure, and he-was almost as good as new-.

The Mystery of an Arizona Ruin.

San Francisco Call. Arizona is plentifully sprinkled with the ruins of strange habitations. Most of them are constructed of concrete or adobe, and the mystery about them is the identity of the people who designed them. How they could be built is not a matter of conjecture, as the materials are close at hand. But there is one ruin, although still in a good state of preservation, which is a mystery, no matter in what light it is considered. It is in the Huachuca mountains, not far frpm the military reservation, in a northeasterly direction. Nothing is known of its origin, and the wonderful part is the material of which it is constructed. It is about 200 miles from the ocean and surrounded on all sides by hills of sand and rocks covered with cacti. There is no water for miles, except the excuses for rivers that run during the rainy season. There is not even the suggestion of water, and yet the house is built of sea-shells laid in a sort of cement. Where the shells were obtained is a mystery that may never be solved. It does not seem possible that the builder of the house would carry the material over hundreds of miles of desert when there were plenty of rocks near by that would answer the purpose just as well, even though they were not so unique The house is built in the shape of the straw huts of the Papago Indians, at/d is about the same size. There is room inside for five or six persons, but at present nobody occupies it, except, perhaps, some prospector who uses it for a temporary shelter in cold weather. There are a dozen varieties of shells in the walls, and one over the door is of extraordinary size. The age of the building will never be known, but there is little doubt that it is as old as the oldest in the territory.

Frozen Fruits.

New York Mall and Express. A good thing ahout the banana is that it is imported nearly all the year around, and is quite as cheap in winter as it is in summer. It is especially appreciated in winter in our climate, because of the scarcity of so many other fruits. And this reminds me that my good friend Eugene Blackford, the eminent pisciculturist, once undertook at my suggestion to get some watermelons away in his refrigerator in midsummer and see how they would come out at Christmas. The day before Christmas I received a solidly frozen watermelon.' It was a refreshing sight. I left it for hours in cold water to get out the frost, and then had to chop it open with a hatcket. It was frozen solidly. The beautiful red inside was still solid and sweet, but the moment the warm air melted lit it became an insipid, mushy mass. The next year Mr. Blackford sent me for my New Year’s dinner some corn on the cob frozen. It came on the table looking as toothsome and smellingas appetizing as the hot corn of October, but it was ashes to the taste. I think this was the end of my friend’s experiments with frozen fruits and vegetables.

Life in Mexico.

The Mexicans do not use ice, but, nevertheless, there is no country where a man can get a glass of cool, sweet water quicker than in Mexico. The water jars are made of a porous pottery, which allows the water to ooze out through the material of the tanks, and the evaporation keeps it always cool. It is not cold like our ice water, but it is all the better on that account, as a man can drink twice as much and never feel in the least injured, no matter how large his draught.

“IN MEMORIAM.”

Tragic Death of “Bingo*-- While in the Line of Duty. M, M, arsh, in Chisago Inter Ocean. “Yes,” said the big man with the gun case to the little man in spectacles, “I’m off for a try at the birds.” The small man lifted his feet out of the way of the gun case and made room in the seat beside him. “Got my dog in the baggage car,” continued the big man. “He’s a dandy. Best dog I ever shot over, unless ’twas your old Bingo. By the way, you don’t go out any more yourself. What’s the reason. Bing getting old and lazy?” The small man opened his penknife and thoughtfully scratched at a splash of mud on his trouser leg. “No, I don’t keep any dog now. Old Bing is dead?” “Dead, is he? Well, well he was gettingalong in years. A general breaking down, I Suppose.” There was a pause and the little man scratched away industriously. “No, it wasn’t that. I’ll tell you about

it,” said he suddenly, “You see, the last time I had him out we were on Smith’s farm. You know the"place, just .over the county line. You remember that big cornfield where the willows grow over the creek and the railroad cuts i through one corner? Well, we were down there, and Bing, being thirsty, ran across the track, in among the willows, to get to the water. I thought there might be birds there, and I was topfar behind for a shot, so I called him back. Just then a bird got up beyond him, and I shouted to him to charge. “You know 1 don’t see very well, but I thought that he wasn’t minding, so I shouted again. The old fellow hesitated for a moment, then he dropped down, and just then the train came around the curve and — and— ’’ The small man’s voice faltered a little when he went on. “You see I thought that he was farther away, but he was right on the track, and he had obeyed me at the cost of his life. Somehow I haven’t cared much for hunting since then.” The small man shut his knife with ’ a snap and looked out of the window, and the big man exclaimed, “Well, well, by Jove! Poor old Bing!" Then the big man blew his nose violently, muttering that that was the only way to dislodge those cursed cinders, while the little man wiped his glasses upon a chamoisskin polisher and sighed.

A Trade Secret.

It does not pay to dress well when trying to get orders in the rural districts. It may seem funny, also, that a man without a shave can make more money than one with a clean face. That is a fact, however. Just as soon as I strike a little towri I take off my necktie, throw dust on my shoe shine, doff my derby for a slouch, and fasten my watch chain to my suspender. lam always careful to have about two weeks’ beard in my chops. By paying strict attpntion to these details I have managed to work up a pretty good trade, and only last week was made one of the hog judges at a county fair. This is regarded as an especial mark of favor, and was worth a good many dollars to me.

Straighten Up.

Anybody can cure round shoulders by a very simple system of exercise. The round-shouldered man should go into the open air three or four times a day, let his hands drop to his sides and then, while inhaling fresh air, raise himself on his toes as high as he can. The filling of the lungs pushes the shoulders back to their normal position, and if the practice is steadily followed for a couple of months, the worst pair of stoop shoulders in time will become as straight as a drill sergeant’s.

A Remedy of General Utility.

It Is among the follies of which the manuufacturers of many proprietary remedies are guilty, to term their mealciaes ■’panaceas.” or to claim for them the quality of panaceas. There is no such thing as a "panacea,” which means a remedy adapted to all diseases. This absurdity has never been perpetrated by the proprietors of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. But they do claim, and with justice, that it is a remedy of general utility, and this because it restores that regular and vigorous condition of the stomach, liver and bowels which con duce to the recovery of general health. Thus it fortifies the system against malaria by infusing stamina, and causing harmonious action of the organs which, as long as they go right, are the best guaranty against an epidemic malady like chills and fever. It accomplishes a double purpose by stimulating activity of the kidneys, since it not only prevents their disease and decay, but expels from the blood through them impurities that cause rheumatism, gout and dropsy. Use it with confidence. ____________ “Ah, children,” said a Frankford schoo, director visiting one of the public schools! “how much I likes ter hear you sing that ‘Star Speckled Banner?”
