AN AERONAUT WHO KNITS.
M. santos-Dumont Gets Much-NeedeJ
RELAXATION In the Feminine
Occupation.

Next TO the flying through space in
his flying machine NJ. SantosDumont
enjoys knitting, making embroidery,
and tapestry, reports the New York
World.
NJ. Santos, as he prefers to be
called, says it is II relaxation, and
adds that he likes it. There are
many things of his making in his
elegant apartments at the Elysee
palace hotel in Paris-chair seats
worked in cross stitch, embroidered
tray cloths, tea coverings and cush,
ions, and ever so many other arti.
cles. They show that he possesses
high degree Of skill and delicate
appreciation Of the artistic in de.
sign and color effects.
But when NJ Santos really wants
TO enjoy himself in his home he
knits. When he IN studying knot.
" problem in connection with his air.
ship he knits, clicking the flying nee.
dies in true German fashion and
scarcely ever CHANGING at them.
His apartments are in keeping
with his home occupations. The
drawing room Is paneled in white
and gold. No ono would dream OF
using the delicate chairs with their
dainty brocade coverings. and It Il
difficult to escape the many tables
laden with bric-a- brac.
In the bedroom the walls are GOV
cred with pale blue silk over which
white dotted net is draped. The
curtains Of the window and OF the
canopied bed are held back with
huge bows Of blue satin ribbon.

MAGNETISM OF MISERY.
scenes That Revive Painful
Memories.

Every storm, earthquake or dis
aster of any kind brings out Gu
rious phase of human nature, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. Many of
those who have seen their houses
destroyed or their nearest relatives
killed return as soon as possible to
the scene of devastation. In some
instances this is explained by the
fact that there are more opportuni-
ties of earning a livelihood among old
neighbors than among new surround
ings. In numerous cases, however,
no such business reason operates as
an inducement. The magnet is sem
timent, not money. AS some mourn
ers devote every holiday to visiting
graves, so a large fraction of the
homeless and bereaved go back to
spend the remainder Of their days in
the scenes that recall calamity and
agony.
1t was so after the great London
fire, il was so after the Lisbon earth
quake, it was 50 after The yellow
fever swept Philadelphia; and in
more recent years the Chicago fire,
the Mississippi floods, Charleston
Johnstown and other catastrophes
confirm the old experience. Appar-
emily the desire to gain new pleas
ures is not more keen than the wish
to revive the memory OF old pain.
Our late storm has destroyed much
property and number of lives; but
we will see people choosing homes
in sight of the telegraph pole from
which the fatal live wire dangled, or
the flooded stream in which the only
son was drowned.

A HYPHENATED MESSAGE.
Amusing Experience of an American

receive a dole.
Your answer is recorded, and only
the number Of beggars mentioned
dare show up.
~ had my brother with me at the
house, and our answers to the police
differed somewhat. Two weeks after
their call messenger came on an err
rand and inquired for Jones.
(which Jones?' asked.
"'Senor,' he replied. 4 know that
there are two of you-the Jones-you-
can-send Observation-Disclosures and
the Jones-I-won't-f feed a-cussed-o one
of-'em, and the Jones / want is not the

Then, as Pm the one who said
eight beggars might come around, you
don't want me-
"It cannot be. 1t is the I-won't-feed-

EHete Slang.

The worst use of slang is not when
it is fresh and piquant, but when it
becomes stale and passes into the reg
ular vocabulary of the people, to the
exclusion of good English, says the To
ronto (Ont) Globe. Such expressions
as ~ can see his finish" when they are
first uttered, are often used with con.
siderable humorous effect. But the
language is impoverished and vulgar
lied by the habitual use of turn down
for reject, "call down" for a mild re
buke. "roast" for a severe one, etc
After these expressions have been used
for certain time they ought to be
taken out OF circulation, along with
the ragged banknotes.
