league Monday afternoons. Julia Mar

Along the walls of the assembly room
are lined photographs and portraits of
prominent professionals. In fact, the
collection of pictures alone owned by
the league deserves columns of space.

have these days in charge-and they

in charge of Mrs. Alice Gram, was de-

IN New York is woman's club which

TN New York is woman's club which
deserves recognition not only from
i those who live in the great me-
tropolis but from residents of ev-
cry other city in the United States. The
club is known as the Professional Wo-
mans League, and numbers among its
members some of the cleverest and
most brilliant women in professional
life
Through the force of some very bad
examples womens clubs have been rele
gated to the sphere of nuisances. One
hears of their squabbles and failure to
agree on any one point until the very
name of Club excludes therefrom any
consideration whatever from an indul-
gent public.

AN AERONAUT WHO KNITS.
M. SantOs-DumOntG Gets Much-Needed
Relaxation in the Feminine
Occupation.

Next to the flying through space in
his flying machine M. SantosDumont
enjoys knitting, making embroidery.
and tapestry, reports the New York
World.
NJ Santos, as he prefers to be
called, says it is a 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 M. Santos really wants
to enjoy himself in his home he
knits. When he is studying a knot
ty problem in connection with his air
ship he knits, clicking the flying nee
dies in true German fashion and
scarcely ever glancing at them.
His apartments are in keeping
with his home occupations. The
drawing room is paneled in white
and gold. No one would dream of
using the delicate chairs with their
dainty brocade coverings, and it is
difficult to escape the many tables
laden with bric-a-brac.
In the bedroom the walls are COW
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.

Armour, no restriction being made as

THE DIRTIEST OF CITIES.
Annoy, China, Has the Reputation OF
Being the FiIthiest Town on
the Entire Earth.

There are many towns in different
countries holding records of which the
inhabitants are justly proud. On the
other hand, there are some places with
distinctions the dubious nature OF
which is quite unenvied.
1t may be said of Annoy, in China, that
it is the filthiest city in the world-a
record which certainly no other place
is anxious to eclipse, says London lit
Bits. The city is on an island OF the
same name. For upwards of thou
sand years it has been an important
trading place.
The population of the island is es-
timated at over 100000, and it has BEEN
said that there are something like
5000. 900 dead bodies packed in it's soil.
For many centuries the hillsides of the
CITY have been used as burylng
ground. Now the city and cemetery
are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at every point and
form a. solid white surface OF rock,
brick, porcelain and cement, covering
more than 100000 square feet. Near
one of the joss houses 1000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space. Ihey
stand on a plot of ground OF as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
its water supply are shallow ana are
sunk on the edges of graveyards' ana
even among the tombs themselves.
The water is muddy, and is colored by
the perpetual turning up OF the SOIL.
IT. has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet in width;
no wheeled vehicle can use them. Here
and there is an open space or plaza,
dug out so as to be huge receptacle
into which the streets discharge their
refuse. Filth abounds, and its twin
sister-disease-f The at
mosphere is laden with noxious smells,
and the burial of the dead goes on az
an alarming rate.
The CITY of Artena, in Italy, can
also claim dubious distinction, when
is quite undisputed. 1t is said that

FUSSINESS A DISEASE.
A True Functional Disorder That IL
General throughout Modern
Civilization.

We have only to invert the telescope
in order to find the civilian from his
writing ia BILE at home carefully endeaV
orjng to instruct the soldier in his du-
ties regardless alike of military meth
DDS and of local conditions. Other eX'
amples of a like nature might be
quoted, but the foregoing will suffice
to direct attention to quality OF mind
which appears to be increasingly prev.
alent among a certain class of writers
and takers and which cannot be re.
garded as a sign of healthy social life
1t is not vigilance or prudence or de
liberate and considered judgments; ii
is not even natural and rational an
xiety, though it may exhibit itself IN
the guise of any one Of these. 1t IS
mere fussiness. Serving in itself no
profitable purpose, it mingles with and
impedes every useful work, damping
energy and discouraging initiative and
the sense of responsibility in those
engaged in it. All of the while it may
be preaching federation, patience and
self-control, says London Lancet.
This neurosis is not confined to any
people or part of the civilized world,
though it seems to be more prevalent
in some quarters than elsewhere,
Wherever there exists suitable soil
in the form Of an intellect equipped
with the visual organs of education,
but with corresponding reflective pow
er and self-restraint there the morbid
germ develops until it may even be-
come epidemic over wide area. we
have already noticed some of the man
ifestations and have referred to the
instability of will and the incoordi-
mated action which are its natural con-
sequences. In these circumstances its
effective treatment is obviously most
desirable. Fortunately it is true func-
tional disorder and there is no reason
to regard it as incura BILE. If only the
exciting cause be frankly recognized
and grappled with. much will have been
done toward providing IA remedy. In
order to arrive at successful result.
however, it is necessary to begin by
lhdt III
matters, even by those whom it may
concern, may be overdone.
It matters little whether it be car
ried out by subordinate government
official, by an over-zealous pressman,
or by private individual more eager
than ju6icious; if superfluous, the eff
feet is the same. To let well enough
alone is an axiom synonymous with
sound practice. To say that details
of matters not belonging to the prov
ince of common knowledge should be
left in the hands of selected and COM
petent persons is another way of ex-
pressing the same truth. The con-
trary method, that Of prying and open
mouthed publicity, is incompatible
with successful business, with the pub
lie service and with the very desira BILE
extinction of the alarmist neurosis.
