Ilya Lag had to be influted some miles

the grounds up the canal. the stream
proved ton narrow, and the bug fre-
quently caught in trees and was more
or les, damaged. When about a toile
(vont the grounds Dr. 'Thtnhus decided
1 , try no tenger, and, mounting tato the
network, he seated himself on the cen-
c. mire: ring and cut away the eu7wgIed
basket. The balloon rose like a shot
and travelled in a southwesterly direc-
tion to an esUmated height ut 5,000 feet.

the tette, which had been damaged
Alonduy, and hnd been patched with
snrgeon'a adhesive plaster, begun leak-
ing rapidly, and the aeronaut shot
downward too rapidly for comfort. Not •
having any ballast, he endeavored to
lighten the ship by cutting off his shoes
and heavy leather leggings, and also
threw away his coat and the contents
of
his pockets. The descent was but
little eht'cked, and he plumped down In
the middle of a cotton held. Owinj; to
his lo,•ution in the rigging, Dr. Thoina.s
was unable to get from under, and was
caught in the folds of the balloon when
1t slruek. 1t then started across the
field, dragging Dr. Thomas nearly a
quarter of n mile before he could extri-
cate himself. Ile was badly scratched
and lacerated, but not seriously injured.

ANECDOTES ABOUT KINGS
FARMER'S WIFE DID 1`OT KNOW
"LONG :NOSED ENGLISHMAN."
Incidents Concerning Subjects WbO
Failed to Recognise Their
Sot ereicns.
King Alfonso:s latest amusing expel%
ience, when he had to produce a coin
bearing his own presentment before he
could satisfy a group of wayside wash-
erwomen at Arqueta that he was really.
the King, reminds one of several simi-
lar stories in which a monarch has had
like difficulties in proving his identity
to his own subjects.
A story which was widely circulated
at the time of the present Czar's coron-
ation was to this effect. After the ter-
rible catastrophe which cost FO many
lives of spectators on the Bodin akoye
Field, his Majesty paid a visit to the
hospital to w hlch the injured had been
carried. Standing by the bedside of a
poor old woman who had been badly
crushed in tho tnelee, Nicholas asked,
"Why were you in the crowds" "Why,
to sea the Emperor, of course," was the
not very gracious nnswer. "Then why
don't you look at him now?" continued
his Majesty; "he is Mantling by you'll
side."
"DONT TELL ME LIES."
retorted the woman, indignantly; "as 1f
lldeknow Emperors are not made
like shall"
When the King of Italy a short tine
ago called for refreshment at a way-
side inn and tendered a coin' in pay-
ment, the lady of the hostelry looked
first at the coin and then at her guest.
"\Vhy," she exclaimed, "you are like the
King." "So people say," smilingly ans-
wered his Majesty. "But," the woman
went on, after another comparison with
the head of the coin. "You are not
nearly as good looking." "No,' said
\'actor Emmanuel; "the King Ls a much
better looking man than 1 stn."
Even more musing is the story told
of the King of the Belgians, which, al-
though by no means unfamiliar, is good
enough to repeat. One day, when Leo-
pold I1. was walking with a Scottish
friend, he stopped at a farmhouse for a
glass of milk. As he was shutting with
tils companion In Englisb the woman
turned to her husband and said: -"1
wonder how smolt the long -nosed Eng-
lishman will pay?" "Permit me," said
the King, as he hnnded her a coin, "to
present you with a portrait of the long -
nosed Englishman."
THE TORN DIIESS.
In Paris, where Leopold is known
even to the street urchins, such a mit-
take would have been less likely than
in his own kingdom. Not long ago, it
Is said, a i'aris gamin, seeing the tall
figure of the King approaching, walked
up to hien and, without the slightest
fear, greeted him with, "Ohe, Leopold:"
-a greeting which so delighted the un-
conventional monarch that he presented
the led with a five -franc piece.
\Vhen the King of Sweden, a few
rears since, visited a small town near
Gothenburg, he joined the crowd which
thronged the streets to catch a glimpse
of himself. When the news passed
round that the King was coming a
shrill female voice at his back ex-
claimed. "Let me get in front! Do you
think I've walked all this way and
spoilt my best ',hick dress for nothing?
1 want to see what the King Is like; let
me see where the King Ls.' Turning
round with a smile Oscar slid to the
pushing, perspiring dame, "ilere is the
King;" whereupon, after looking him tip
and down, she 1' :narked: "Well, Fin
glad to have seen you at lac!. I've Leen
waiting here for Lours, reel just look at
the hole they have made i11 m)' best
black dress, 1 was not going to ewe
that spoiled and then ace nothing nt
all."
Mere sinning was the adventure of
the German Emperor when. et n 1120
hour one evening, he decided to pay a
surprise visit to his uncle at Kiel. On
ringing, the door was opened by a
maid, who. at sight of the Emperor,
promptly slammed 0 in his augtt.t fare,
shouting out, "(thew)! 0 1s the Kaisers`
