ton claim to have been witnesses OF
these marvellous feats. II is asserted
that the driver of the machine had per-
feet control of it, moved up and down
as he willed and that the strong air
currents did not complicate the direc-
tion of the apparatus Trees were cir
cled, fields were passed over in every
direction and the inventors were able
to bring their contrivance to earth
without any sudden jar showing that
1t was under their control.
y
The secrecy connected with the dis
covery Is not reassuring but it Is
maintained by friends of the brothers
that they expect to sell their inven-
ton for q great sum to foreign gov
eminent and cannot afford to risk pub
licity. Santos Dumont is so confident
of the worthlessness of the claim that
he has challenged the Wrights to COM
pete for the prize of $685. offered by
the London Daily Mail TO the owner OF
the first airship that shall travel from
London to Manchester, a distance OF
lS5 miles. At latest account the
brothers had not accepted the French
mans challenge.
Now the situation in the United
States resolves itself into competition
between the contestants for the gov
eminent prize ut the jamestown eX-
position and the st. Louis competitors
The principle of successful aerial naVi
cation Is involved While the round
balloon will be used exclusively at St.
Louis. there is division in the ranks
of the flying machine men. Some of
them insist on the aeroplane idea and
that alone, and others are satisfied
with a combination of the gas bag and
the motor. Santos Dumont who has
been devoted to the combination the
cry, has recently gone over to the other
side. S. Y. JOHNSON.

JoHEN1Es ON THE SPOT.

Two men stood at the Manbatten
end of Brooklyn Bridge in the after
noon at the hour when the crowd as
sembled to watch the baseball scores.
They indulged in various speculations
concerning the makeup of the in
creasing numbers.
"How many men in that push do
you think are named John ?" asked
one.
The man questioned, matter of
fact individual, didn't have an idea
about it. He went out of his way to
say that it was fool question. And
he added:
''You are going to get the worst of
it some day on your inquisitive-
ness"
This nettled his friend, who said,
"When l asked you the question
really did not think much about it,
but I'll go you dinner that the ma
jority of the people within the sound
of my voice are named John"
''How do you propose toprove it 7"
"By shouting the name from where
1 stand. I'll bet you the dinner that
majority of those who hear me shout
the name will look up responsively."
"I'll go you, just to cure you of a
fool habit you have"
The banterer thereupon inflated his
lungs and called out, looking down
upon the crowd.
"Hello, there John, how's the
gamer"
The man who lost the bet said:
"Within the sound of my friends
voice there were at least 200 people.
1 should say that two-thirds of that
number lifted up their faces, and at
least one-half of the number shouted
up the last return on the blackboard.
1t cost me the bulk of ten dollars to
find it out. ."-New York SIN.

ABOUT OUR VACATIONS.

with the vacation season now
fast approaching" said Mr.. Gwim-
bleton, there comes up as usual the
question where to go; but. really,
this is not SO important as it is for
US to decide to go somewhere and
actually go. Too many of us wind
up by deciding that we won't go any
where this year, but stay at home
and rest there; which is the worst
mistake we could possibly make.
"The grand benefit of vacation,
though perhaps we do not all realize
this, lies not in the enjoyment we get
out of it at the moment but in the
change it gives us from our routine
work and surroundings, and even the
very best and ablest of men need this
change. Where we shall go is not
nearly SO important as that we should
go somewhere, away from our famil-
lar, accustomed life and surroundings.
Many tired man has said to him
self, We'll, this year 1 II take good
rest in comfort at home, just do moth
ing but rest,' but only to find him
self, when he started to work again,
about as tired as when he quit This
because really he hadn't got out of
the rut at all.
1T was pleasant to sit around and
do nothing, the first day or two, but
after that it was the same old story,
and the familiar home surroundings,
in city or suburbs, that through the
the year he had every day wished he
could see more of now begin to be
rather too familiar, and he begins to
find himself wishing that he had
something to do.
"You see, it wasn't rest he needed
so much as it was a change. He
wanted to let up on the tention, draw
ing harder and harder all the time.
He wanted to let up on that and feel
the Joy of freedom from that strain,
and let the we'll that be had been
drawing OH all the year fill up; and
he can't do any of these things if he
stays around home in the midst of fa-
miliar surroundings, for these after
the first day or two are bound to keep
up their old familiar impression.
"No, sir. What he wants to do is
to cut it. Go somewhere, anywhere,
but go away, do something different
get change.
"That's what you want, change
and it doesn't make such an everlast-
ing difference what sort of a change
it is.
Friendly and kindly and comfort
able does home look and seem now,
when you hit it again, after what
seems long, long absence, and glad
we are once more to settle down in it.
And next day we collar the work
with a rush.
Remember Don't waste your
vacation time hanging around home.'

sHoRT-NosED PEOPLE.

"Physiognomists tell us that the big
nosed people do the worlds work"
said short nosed man the other day,
"and they generally add lot of rub
bish about Napoleon's big nose and
how he always selected big nosed men
to carry out daring undertakings.
"That Napoleon story was invent
ed by some one with nose like Cy-
rano de Bergerac's, who wanted an
excuse for his probosis, and therefore
pretended that his nose was but the
introduction to a massive, imposing
character. 1t is true that big nose
is sometimes indicative of frmness
and determination, but only when 1t
is associated with strong jaw and
long chin. A big nose with a retir-
ing chin is almost idiotic in the ex-
preston it gives to the countenance.
Every cartoonist knows this. When
ever you see cartoon of society
dude it shows long nose and small
chin.
"But there is something to be said
in favor of the short noses. The
short nose shows wit, imagination,
tact, judgment, discretion. Socrates
had snub nose, and of the lively
imaginative writer's in almost any
language a considerable proportion
are short nosed people. Long nosed
men may do their share of the world 8
work, but the short noses write the
clever books and the entertaining
plays. IfShakespeare had had nose
like the Duke of Wellington's, do
you suppose that he would ever have
written the Merry Wives of Wind
sor? He might have been success
full theatre manager. but would nev-
er have become a literary artist. -

MAKE YOURSELF CAPABLE.

There are many things for you in
life; but one of all-important things
is to so excel in some line of useful
ness that those who know you will re-
spect that in you.
In a social gathering, the fact that
you can sing, or tell a story, or play the
violin, or lead in a parlor game, adds
to your desirability. In every day life,
the fact that you are handy with tools,
or that you can write fine hand or
that you can compose good letter,
is quickly recognized.
In whatever way you earn a living,
whether by keeping books or keeping
house, selling goods or making goods,
teaching school or running trains,
you are respectable and respected in
the degree that you do your work
we'll. If you are careless or lazy,
half-hearted or blundering, you are
without just pride,-a perpetual spol-
ogy among your associates and fail
ure in life. No outward show, no in
huences, no trade union backing, can
gloss il over.-MeW Century.

A series of wonders are to be found
