A BALLOONIST’S DARING LEAP WITH
Th » fashion is growing in tho cities of hav
ing one day in each week set apart for au in
formal reception of onu’s friends and ac
quaintances. This, if very simply done, is a
pleasant custom for oi her city or country.
If merely a cup of tea and tbin brood and
butter, with p/thai« one sort of cake, l>o
offered iu winter or water ice in d immer
with wafers, there is nothin; to l.e said
against su *h a mode of hospitality; but when
the -5 o’clock tea” loses its original cliaracter
and becomes a formal reception it becomes
also a social burden.
%
The tea for these weekly receptions is made
by tho lady on the table and banded by her
to her guests, if there are no gentlemen pres
ent to carry it. A servant- need not be em
ployed in the matter. The lea equi-mge may
consist of a tray covered with a pretty cloth,
with small oujis and saucers, crOam, sugar,
slop bowl, tho teapot covei*ed with a cozy, and
cake and very thin bread and butter on
plate s. The tray is set on a table and the tea
made. This is the English fashion. You
may, however, prefer to use a table on which
is tho cloth without a tray; iu this case tbe
tea is not brought in but arranged ready for
callers. Three teasnoonfuls of tea are al
lowed to make a pint of tea—the cups usually
run t hree to the h .If pint A quart O a tea
therefore, will s--rve eight or nine and allow
for a second cup, which is rarely asked for.
When you put tho tea in the pot light the
alcohol kettle, which should have had boiling
water in it, and when it boils pour on to the
tea about a third of the water you intend to
use, put tho cozy over it and lot it seep seven
minutes, add the rest of the water, cover
again and use as needed; or you may, if you
prefer, j>our on all tho water at once. It is
easier and less formal to say to each guest
after a few minutes’ conversation, “Shall I
give you some teal” or its equivalent, and to
give it at once than to wait to a certain time
and hand it to every one at once. With the
tea oozy the tea keeps hot a long time, but if
people straggle in or for any late comers
fresh should lie made. A friendly, nice way
is to have a bright kettle on en open fire and
make tea from that when boiling in the good
old fashioned way.—Good Housekeeping.
A BIG PARACHUTE.

“It is claimed by tLe balloonist, Baldwin,
that he has dropped 5,000 feet from a balloon
with a parachute. 1 shall drop at least
10,000 feet, ami shall attempt what no other
balloonist ever did. 1 shall drop with the
chute closed, leaving it entirely to the air to
open the chute.”
So said Edward D. Hogan to a group of
newspaper men, who assembled oue morning
not long ago ou a large vacant lot northwest
of town to seo him make bis foolhardy
venture. Hogan is a local aeronaut. He
was for fourteen years employed in a plan
ing mill here, and only during the last four
years has devoted himself to ballooning as a
profession. He has studied the subject thor
oughly, however, for many years, having
from childhood taken the keenest interest
and delight in the science of sailing airships,
rigged up a workshop at his home, and
there he spent every spare moment experi-

is four inches wide. The frame is cboni2vd

About half of tho staves were removed (see
cut) and half the heads, what was left of the
barrel being firmly fastened together by nails
and screws; the middle hoops were cutoff
even with the staves these were fastened to.
The framework ready, it was covered with
old but clean comforters, folded thickly over
all the sharp edges. Over this was put blue
cambric, puffed neatly and held in ptace
along tho sides with brass headed tacks. The
hoops ar the end were wound with blue cam
bric, after which they were ornamented with
lace and riblions. To these hoops cords were
attached, and the hammock or cradle was
then suspended from a stout, book in the ceil
ing. This makes a cosy little lied for the
baby, and as it ke**ps up its swinging motion
for a long time after being started without
further attentibn, it makes it mach easier to
take care of him than it would be if an ordi

The cheap gray blankets sold for various
purposes, such as horse blankets, ironing blan

either bath or lied room. For this purpose a
blanket is cut in half, bound with red braid
or red flannel and trimmed with applique fig
tires or monogram of red flannel. If a more
decorative effect is desii*ed tho blanket can be
embroidered with r,oarso wools in sunflowers
and reeds, or daisies and grasses. If not suf
