books in the language are an approach to these.
 But the novel-what of that? That depends. The novel of fifty years ago which dealt with questions and prob lens of fifty years ago may not longer be useful or entertaining. but Becky Sharpes are of all ages just as are the passions that Shakespeare deals with. In other words. the masters of fifty years ago who brought out the eternal human nature are better, are more worth ones reading time, than are the writers of today who are not masters at all.
 The question Is, however, a com plex one. As a rule novel readers read too many novels. Perhaps 1t may be said, with much truth that readers read as rule too many books. A few stories, few poems, few essays, a "" AhotoAlSo AOou anu ACAOau uhllA they are ones own, is better than the reading of many books old or new. This. of course, brings us back to Sen. ator Pettus library which has never been excelled. me man or woman who knows what Senator Pettus' + brary contains knows enough to serve him we'll in this world, and also, let us fondly believe, in the next. He has the best.
 And yet there are story writers. of today that have their excehencies. There is Thomas Hardy, and Frank Norris, and Winston Churchill, and 4,udyard Kiphng, and Booth Parking ton. There are of poets--well, the less said about them the better, and yet Edwin Markham is living force. Take the matter up one side and down the other, the reader who accumulates the famous Pettus library-who makes that library a resort to which he re- turns again and again after nibbling the New now and then, will individu- any solve the problem about as satis- factorily as it can be solved by one person. 1ifr

machine is cleverly constructed with the view of obtaining the greatest driving power with the least resistance and weight of the balloon.
 ''The trials which witnessed impressed me with the ability, energy and courage of antos-Dumont, but I need hardly say that l do not think he begins in the bcst way The best way win be to diminish the balloon indefinitely until it disap- pears altogether. leaving the true flying machine My experiments with the 'aerodrome have convinced me that a machine of this character will fly. have the best reason in the world for this, for on several occasions two different ma chimes constructed by me have flown, The first flight took place at Quantico, Va, May 6, 1898. Until this experiment I do not believe, with the exception of toy by Penaud, Frenehman, that any thing made by man ever flew.
 Some twenty years ago Penaud. a Frenchman, made a toy, consisting of flat. immovable, sustaining wing surface. a fiat tail. and a small propelling screw, He made the wing and tail out of paper or silk, and the propeller out of cork and feathers, and it was driven directly by strands of India rubber, twisted lamp lighter fashion, and which turned the wheel as they twisted
 When experiments are made with a model moving on a whirling table, or running on a railroad track, these are forced to move horizontally and at the same time are held so that they cannot turn over; but in free flight there will be nothing to secure this unless the airship is so adjusted in all its parts that it tends to move steadily and horizontally, and the acquisition of this adjustment or art of balancing in the air Is an enor- mously difficult thing, and which, it will be seen later. took years to accomplish.
 My first experiments in it, then, were with models like these, but from them I got only rude idea how to balance the future aerodrome. partly on account of the brevity of their flight, which only lasted a few seconds, partly on account of Its irregularity. Although, then, much time and labor were spent by me on these 1t was not possible to learn much about the balancing of them.
 After many failures, I finally succeed ed in evolving a machine winch flew. Ex- periments are, it is true, now being made for the war department, but am not at present prepared to give any in formation to the public on the results ob- tained."

Washington. November 5.-S P. Lang ley, secretary of the Smithsonian In stitution, the famous inventor of flying machine. and a worldwide authority on aerial navigation, talked interestingly to- day to a Journal representative on the ex- ploit of Santos Dumont in his great air ship in Paris.
 Secretary Langley said:
 Santos Dumont is q c;ever fellow. Hc Is working in the right direction, and has accomplished the best results yet ob- tained with the dirigible balloon.
 T say he is working in the right direc- tion, because he seeks to reduce the size of his balloon and increase the size of his engine. The trouble with all dirigible bal looms, and. in fact, all balloons, is that their enormous size practically prevents thelr progress against a headwfnd This obstacle santos Dumont seeks to over come, and his successful trip at Paris Sat urday, when, to my mind. he won the 100000 franc prlze shows that he has succeeded in a measure In diminishing the almost insuperable difficulties in the way of making the balloon the best means of aerial locomotion.
 There are two ideas or bases. for air travel; first what the French call the lighter than air, and second the heavier than air. The latter Is not balloon at all, but a flying machine and, like bird, is very much heavier than air.
 "Santos-D -Dumont's work, being with the balloon belongs to the first category and mire, which you ask about. to the second.
 ''rhe first partially successful experi- ment on the balloon idea was at Muedu, France. Here Che Krehs, succeeded on August 9, 1884, in launching a oigar-shaped dirigible balloon, in which they made a trip of three or four miles and returned. This balloon was very similar to the one Santos Dumont made his successful trip around Eiffel Tower with on Saturday, with the exception that the Renard and 'Krehs balloon was driven by means of a primary battery.
 "The apparent success of the Renard and Krebs balloon created so much com rnent in the newspapers that the French government stepped in and prevented any further trials. Since that time the experi- ments have been made in secret, but it is we'll understood that a much more successful machine than the original Renard and Krehs balloon has been evolved.
 Last summer I visited Sant -Dumont at his experiment grounds at St. Cloud, and witnessed a number of trials. His <%%%<~-~t te-~-~<%<%%<-~<-

TIE PRICE OF SLAVES.

From the New York Press
 The Squire Commodore of Kent coun- .ty. in looking. over some old family pa- pers recently came across the will of his great-great-great-gra Maj. Anthony Low. of Warwick, in the Prov idence plantations who departed this life in a state of grace in the year of Our Lord 1752 and of the reign of his most illustrious majesty, George II, the twen- ty-fifth. In the inventory of his personal property filed by his executors are many curious values on things. For example: A silver tankard and seven spoons 2153 F shillings: silver-hilted sword.

Ballot Box Purity The Issue.

The voter by OF before next Monday should ask himself these questions: Do desire white supremacy under the present constitution which puts the ballot in every negro's hand to be wrested from him by ballot box frauds of every conceivable sort? Do prefer this to a white supremacy under the New constitution free from election frauds of every sort? Do I prefer dictation on the part of few counties to an impartial white ballot equitably spread over the entire State?" These are the questions that every intelligent man must answer to his own conscience when. he goes to the polls next Monaay, and every white man who loves Alabama should go there without fail These questions are the essence of the pending cam paign.
 Let no man deceive himself into thinking that the negro only is cheated in the prevailing ballot box manipula- tons. The manipulators turn from the routed negroes to their white op- ponents, and they cheat and rob them as readily as they would negroes There has not been an honest State election in this State since the adop- tion of the present constitution. There has scarcely been an honest county or local election. All have been demor- alized by ballot box frauds. and this demoralIzation has corrupted every branch of the State and local govern ments, and, worst of all, it has low cred all standards in the minds of the young men of the State. The ruin thus wrought cannot be instantly over come, but it is the duty of every thoughtful man to afford chance for reform by voting for the New consti- tuition.
 Under the New constitution there will be no occasion for electoral frauds, for 1t practically anticipates a white electorate. Some of the old bal. lot box manipulators may attempt un- der it a few tricks, but as soon as one or two of them are landed in the peni- tentiary that sort of work win be ended. The press and the pulpit and the public schools must do the rest. Vote then for the New constitution as you love Alabama. Stop these abominable ballot box frauds, and let it become known to all that vote in this State is in truth and in fact a vote, to be given due weight in the final count.

Rumored Purchase of Northeastern

If the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company has purchased the Northeastern Railroad, as Dame Ru- nor asserts. it is because that great north-and-south road needs another line of rails in it's gulf section. The pressure comes, not from cotton, or even lumber. or passengers. but from the corn and wheat of the West and the coal and iron of this district. These four articles-wheat, corn, coal and iron-are at least so per cent of the tonnage of the Louisville and Nashville system. If the whole truth were known. it might appear that they constitute fully 90 per cent of it's ton mage.
 It is this great tonnage that needs another outlet to the gulf from the Ohio river and from Birmingham, which are the chief sources of this tonnage, and for this reason 1t may be true that the Northeastern has been absorbed by the Louisville and Nash vile.
 The policy of railroad managers in the South seems to consist in seeur- ing parallel lines at least twenty-five miles from each other, rather than to double-track a section. In the long run double-track roads will become necessary, but at present money is more profitably expended in securing parallel lines.
 In order to understand the proposed pan 1t is necessary to remember that the Pine Apple branch can readily be extended to the Mineral Belt system in Bibb County, distance of about fifty miles, and the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Railroad, now in process of construction to the Tom bigbee river, can be extended to Merid- ian, distance of twenty-three miles. The Louisville and Nashville would then have another line to New Orleans "a line even shorter and better than the present line via Montgomery and Mobile

AnEcpoTE OF ROOSEVELT.

The following anecdote of President Roosevelt appeared in a paper of Wrox- ton. England:
 MT. T. Roosevelt President of the United States. and Mrs Roosevelt. were on a visit to Lord North at Wroxton Abbey, the seat of Lord North, in March, 1887. He hunted with the War wiclsshire hounds in that month when they met at Britain House. In the af- ternoon they had sharp run and killed their fox in Farnborough Park, the resi- dence of the late Archdeacon Holbeck, Mir Roosevelt was presented with the brush. The Hon. R. North and Mir Roosevelt started one morning to go to Medora and in crossing bridge dur ing a flood MT. North went through 1t, horse and all. Mir. Roosevelt threw his iariat or lasso, over Mr. North and hauled him out. or he must have been drowned.
 MT. Roosevelt is related to the North family through the SeItenstall family. formerly of Chipping Warden. It is pointed out as a curious coincidence that one of washington's successors as President of the United States saved tho life of a descendant of that Lord North whose policy lost England the American eolonies."

DON'T BRUSH YOUR HAIR.
Latest Authority contradicts oId-F ash
 toned Care of the Head,

From the Philadelphia Press.
 The many contradictory rules laid down by beauty doctors nave nearly driven the feminine searchers after good looks to the verge of nervous prostration It has not been so very many moons since we were told most emphatIcally that to have an abundance of shining tresses. one hundred strokes night with good brush was necessary. Now high priestess of beauty comes forward and says that brushing produces badness.
 The reasons set forth for this last fiat sound reasonable, which is more than can be said of many of the mandates of the beauty doctors.
 Of course. the majority of us know how hair grows. and that our hair is con stantly falling even when in perfect health, and new hair taking its place.
 "These new hairs" argues this new prophet in the realm of good looks. .ap- pear first as soft, delicate fuzz, easily pulled out or destroyed. Stiff brushing will wear them out just as it will wear out the nap of cloth. The hair roots try to make up for the destruction. They are forced into abnormal growth and their life force is depleted. The old hair is falling. The new hair Is not being al- lowed to live and grow. The life force Is being exhausted. The hair gets thin. struggling, unhealthy, dies out altogeth- CT, and there you are, baid.'
 That sounds sensible doesn't 1t?
 Another thing that works havoc in hair Is the cold water shock" further re- marks this wise one. Almost every woman or man who takes a shampoo has a cold water shock after the warm water. The principle of the thing is all wrong. Of course, the theory is that 1t closes the pores and prevents one from taking cold. The theory works out we'll in the cold plunge for the body after a warm bath. The cold water closes the pores and drives the blood from the surface back to the vital organs. But it is different matter with the scalp. There surface cir culation is the one. thing that the con scientious and scientific hair specialist tries to promote,
 Some operators use the cold water and they try to offset 1t by surface friction. Surface friction is never good for the hair. The so-called scalp massage, heavy rubbing and polSing and scratch ing, is enough to discourage any we'll meaning scalp The right kind of mas sage comes from using the whole hand with the palm drawn in like cup. In fact 1t is a sort of mild cuffing with the hand. It is very hard to learn and re- quires great control of the hand muscles, but 1t is the finest thing known. It doesn't disturb the old hair or irritate the scalp, but it gives gentle suction and vibra- tion, and will stimulate the circulation wonderfully
 So it would seem the present method of washing the hair is all wrong. But 1t is not worth worrying over, for in about two weeks somebody will come forward with a new theory and knock this into a cooked hat

President Rooseveltis daily habit of informally inviting to luncheon persons who happen to be calling upon him on official business recalls the experience that Representative James F. Epes of Virginia had with President Cleveland. and which his colleagues used to love to hear him recite because he always became so righteously indignant in do- ing it. MT Epes called at the White House one day about lunch time and he was the last of the numerous visitors to be received by MT. Cleveland, The Con gressman stated his business, necessari- ly at some length and as he had about concluded Mir. Cleveland, who had been fidgeting about in his chair, said:
 Have you anything else to communi- cate? If not, you must excuse me, be- cause l want to go to luncheon.
 The Virginia Congressman departed in a red heat, which grew white as he rode toward the capitol Arriving at the House he hung up his coat and hat and, in passion, said to some of his col leagues congregated in the cloakroom;
 T shall never go to the White House
 
 again as long as that mugwump, Grover Cleveland, Is President. That man has not as much manners as an ordinary farm hand. The idea of saving to gem tleman in one's own house, I am going to lunch, and not having hospitality or politeness enough to ask the caller to break bread with him. Of course. had Mir. Cleveland extended the invitation I would have thanked him and declined, Or he might have simply excused him. self and said nothing about the matter, and would have been none the wiser. Do you think I would treat anyone that way at my house down in dear old Not toway county? Not much. With me any man who is my social equal can never leave my house at meal time without an invitation to the dining-room."
 MT. Epes never went to the White House again.

Should New Novels Be Read?

The war between the Old and the New has broken out afresh. and the man is quoted who said that whenever new book appears he goes straight way and reads an old one. No doubt the library that Senator Pe.tus toted overland to California stands without modern equai-the Bible, Shake speare and Bobby Burns. No intelli- gent man will say that any other three
