FLAT DWELLINGS DE LUXE.
Apartments In New York That Rent
 for $22,O00 a Year.

From the New York World.
 Apartments at $22,000 year are an- nounced in one of New York's latest houses of multiple dwellings. More sig nificant than the rental figures them selves is the fact that they are set forth quite casually. The man may happen in tomorrow who finds the S22,000 suite exactly what he wants. He is man one may meet any where on the street today. The yes- terday is not many years past when he was an exceptional being and when a $22,000 apartment would have been built only on his special order-not on the landlords chance of his ap- pearance.
 So have We progressed in the plutoc- racy not alone of the owner but of the tenant. We have in his fitness the lessee who can afford extravagantly not to own the sumptuous roof over his head; the dweller who seeks to minimize not the cost but the dom- iciliary responsibilities of living.
 There are "A rooms in this S22,000 suite-a different one, if the tenant choses. for each hours meditations in a long day. There are nine bathrooms, as though it were assumed that clean liness is inevitably next to money godliness. For an ultra-costly hired dwelling ultra-modern luxuries must be provided above modern conven- fences.
 It is true that on less than the in- come of $22,000 at per cent. men live honestly in New York, pay modest rents, raise comedy children and are happy in the fear of some things that richer men affect to despise. If this were not so, not even nine bath rooms could atone for the lack of security .o the contractor for the palatial fiat.

Story By Eugene Field.

Just 25 years ago Eugent Field wrote his in his 'sSharps and Flats:' Henry E. Dixey tells a story to the effect that ohn Stetson once went behind the scenes |n his New York theatre and found fault With a certain piece of scenery then in Ese. What is the blamed thing, anyway" be asked. The stage manager informed bim that 1t was a scene after Michael Angelo, whereupon Setson pompously ex-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-19

claimed: Well, it's no good. Pay Mike his salary and let him go! A day or two afterward Dixey was reciting the incident to Jack Haverly, but Haverly didn't seem to catch on to the joke. So Dixey repeated the yarn, and Haverly, forcing a property smile, exclaimed; Oh, yes, I see-there ain't no such person as Angelo' This amused Dixey more than the original story, and he hurried off to tell Settson about it. But Stetson was
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-19

quite as quick witted as Haverly had been in detecting the humor of the thing. Why, don't you see? exclaimed Dixey, with great earnestness, I told this yarn to Haverly, and he replied, 'There ain't no such person as Michael Angelo!
 Ah, yes, cried Stetson, with sudden gleam of intelligence; he ought to have said, 'There isn't and such person as Michael Angelo" Yes, yes; good one on Haverly! Ha, ha, ha! "

Romance was once a good old word,
1t called up thoughts of light gui-
tars,
OF love songs by fair damsels heard,
VI SWANS who sighed beneath the
stars
l brought up thoughts of cleaning
sword,
Of changing shield and flashing
glance
All that is now chucked overheard,
we have the latter-day romance.
Bill Juggins turns a trick in steel
And takes much plumber from the

Or by some turn Of fortunes wheel
He corners all the winter wheat

Becomes no more lucky chance,
But each and all of us is made
To read about it, as Romance"
The Office seeking man who schemes
For years and years to land job,
The theorist, who sweetly dreams
OF how some day he'll lead the mob,
The man who fsots it through the

In search of silver or of gold
The man who builds dozen mills

And so we read it day by day,

And thus is kindly spared the worst.

And had an awful time to win
The heroine with grace endowed

Hey for the vanished sunny days
When knights rode forth with shield

We've spoiled it with our modern
ways;
There's naught romantic in ro-

The Useful sunh, er.

In some countries, IDLY in the
Russian provinces north of the eau
casus, the sunflower serves other pur-
poses besides ornamenting gardens
with its huge golden bosses. The seeds
are used to make oil, which is en-
ployed both in the manufacture of
soap and in cooking. The stems and
leaves are burned and the ashes used
to make potash. Last year the sun
flower factories of the Caucasus pro-
duced $4,000 tons of potash.

Hypnotism in Sickness.

One of the greatest surgeons of the
last century, an authority who still
prevails, says that large element of
suggestion, therefore hypnotism, en-
tiers into the mind of every person
who realizes or ever strongly believed
he is sick, and this realization so acts
upon the mind that it becomes open
to ordinary suggestion or to the more
professional forms Of hypnotic sugges-
ton.

Every work horse apon his ranch. save one stolen, John Hoffner, a rancher living over the divide from Bisbee. is engaged with officers in active search of the thieves, wao are thought to have crossed into Sonora. Thirteen animals are missing.
 News of the theft reached Bisbee yesterday. and although the major portion of the details were lacking. 1t would seem that Saturday night, when the family had retired, the thief paid the rancher a visit. Not en' tirely bereft of all human feeling. the miscreant left one horse to be used by MT. HoffDer.
 The authorities at Naco were nott fled yesterday and at once set out ir pursuit of the thieves, who seem tc have driven the horses in the direc ton of the international border.

A WOMAN AERONAUT.

Miss E. l.. Todd of New York is a
deep student of the problems Of
aeronautics. She is actively engaged
in constructing a flying machine.
and, being skilled in the use of tools,
has built her own models. Her
aeroplane is designed to maintain
perfect equilibrium, by having the
car of the machine so arranged that
it can alter the position of its CEN
ter of gravity Independent of the
wings. Miss Todd is the first wom-
an to take up this line of work. She
is also conducting classes for chill
dren to instruct them in the practical
uses of flying machines and dirigible
balloons.
