Artists Models.

err towers than the one at Paris. This lit
tie room is Mr.. Kinkel's world. In il he
lives and does his work alone. A large,
comfortable looking bed, small, uncom-
Portable looking lounge, little bureau, a
plain waShstand and large pine table such
as draughtsmen use take up most OF the
space in the room. a few modest chairs,
a tumble of books, all sorts of garments
scattered around. and the big table loaded
down with engineering appliances, archi-
tects' tools, maps cigars scattered loosely
all about, and a few architectural drawings
on the wall complete the furnishing of the
room and leave little space for anything
else.
Charles Kinkel is a Prussian, as you
would know by his strengthening head and
his pronounced accent. He has been in
America for thirty-three years, but he
still mixes German words with the En-
glish ones in such manner that if you
do not know both languages you will
have some trouble in following him. He
was born in the little village of Schkeu-
ditz, near Leipzig, August %, 1923. g His
polytechnic education was obtained
through study first at school in Hanover,
then at the famous institute of Karlsruhe,
and at last he was graduated in 1850 from
the Berlin Academy, the highest polytech-
MUM in Germany. For two years after
this he was engaged in the construction of
public buildings and works in Germany,
and in 1852 was called to Rio
De Janiero, where he remained
four years planning and erect
ing the royal palace for the Emperor Dom
Pedro. In 1857 he came TO the United
States and engaged as assistant engineer
in the lighthouse department at New
York 1t was when employed there
under the late Prof. Joseph Henry that
Mr.. Kinkel invented and constructed the
Siren, the largest fog-signal in the world.
From 1868 until 1872 he was the superin-
tendent of the Metropolitan Gaslight Com
pany in New York, after which time he es-
tablished himself as an architect in that
city and constructed many public and pri-
vate buildings there. In 1885 he was APP
pointed architect in the Office of the Super
vising Architect of the United States
Treasury Department, but was displaced
by the return of the Republicans to power

"MEN TO BEWARE Of"
4 Chicago Business Man Has Collated
Some Important Rule.
Chicago Tribune.


Samuel W. King, at the head of one of
the largest legal collection concerns in the
country, has met and seen every type of
man. From his observations he has made
the following deductions, had them print
ed, and hung in his office:
Beware of the man who ''Swears by all
the gods at once" or one at time for that
matter.
OF the man who slaps you between the
shoulders and calls you "old man." No
amount of familiarity is any excuse for
this.
OF the man who hyphenates his words
with ERA
OF the man whose salutation is whats
the news.n
OF the man who asks you, when he has
seen you speak to another. who's your
friend."
or the man who asks you "Where did
you get it,
OF the man who in leaving says, See you
later
OF the man who pokes you in the ribs
when he is talking.
OF the man who adjusts the lapel of your
coat or rubs one sleeve, or BOTH when heis
talking TO you.
OF the man who talks TO you on the train,
or on a street car, when he never saw you
before, unless there is public crisis. Vic
tor Hugo says that such salutations show
public anxiety, and are only eXcusable when
there is public excitement.
Sensible fellow, that Hugo
OF the man who occupies IA whole table in
the writing room of "A hotel.
OF the man who can't get out of a chair
without kicking it from under him.
OF the man who drops into drug store
to look up name in the directory and
hangs on to the book as if it were a new
novel when he sees three or four others
wanting to look up names.
OF the man who stands at the boX-office
of theatre when there is crowd back of
him. talking about best seats and other
topics.
The woman who will do this is no better.
She isn't as good as a man.
Finally-Beware of the man that comes
but never goes, and of his companion pic
ture, the man who starts to go but doesn't.

The homage that man pays to hand
some woman woman has been known to
pay TO very mean man.
a woman has patience with herself, but
she has less patience than man with other
women who are like her.
A poor girl has to be awfully good look
ing TO be pretty. and Il rich girl has to be
awfully homely to be ugly.
There never was woman who did a
thing to benefit herself that she did not
claim that she was doing it for the benefit
of some one else.
All the woman suffragists have kind and
indulgent husbands and brothers, but they
are trying to better the conditions OF the
women who do not attend conventions.
If there is one thing greater than a girls
praise of her home when she is in another
town it is her abuse of it in comparing it TO
the other town when she gets back.
Why is it that woman who has hus-
band and who does not care for her per-
sonal appearance will begin to fix up and
look dressy and soon as he is dead! Is it
because her husband would not let her
have the money when he was alive, or does
being widow make her feel as if she was
one of the girls again.

wAsHINGToN's FAIR GATHERS.
Why Ladies Like Turkish Baths-A Mod
est Peep Within.
IIGsHiU1fOD Herald

Arabella says the Turkish bath has be-
come so popular lately that when she goes
there she has TO wait her turn.
Women take these baths for every reason
under the sun. Some confessedly for the
pleasure of it, for the delicious sensation
that comes from being rubbed, scrubbed
and manipulated and then laid away to
rest, and with eyes half-closed have their
finger nails manicured.
Others take them because they think
them healthy, and others for beautifyers,
or, as the ShampOOer Tillie told Arabella,
''Some takes 'em Miss Ar'bella cause
dey's ugly, others cause dey'S pretty,
others cause dey's fat and want TO get
/ lean, others cause dey's lean and want to
get fat; some Tor the lumbago, others for
neuralgia, an don't know what dey don t
take 'em for.
And as these baths are taken for every
reason in the world, every sort of people
take them, from the shop girl whose thin
cheeks show hard work and poor food, to
Mrs High-and-Mighty, whose thin cheeks
show indulgence in rich food, lack of eXer-
else, and late hours.
The most amusing thing in the world is
to see woman in the hot room who has
never taken Turkish bath before. She
gasps and pants and pants and gasps, and is
sure she will faint and is sure she will die
dozen times before the shampooer is ready
for her
After the scrubbing and manipulating
have taken place the patient is put on a
lounge. blanket tucked about her and she
is left TO rest, and then are heard little
signs of content, little grunts of delight.
Sometimes "a low-toned conversation
takes place, but generally everyone is glad
of quiet and drop off into beauty sleep,
which refreshes both mind and body.
Most of the society women who go to the
bath deliver themselves over to the mani
cure and the hairdresser while they are
taking their rest. The manicure makes
the fingers up after the most approved
style, while the hairdresser doctors the
scalp and brushes out the hair so that it
may take on the gloss which is now so fash
ionable.
After an hours rest the patient dresses
herself and goes for constitutional if she
is trying to reduce herself, and if not she
takes her dear intimate to the Shoreham,
and they pick at a spring chicken, eat oys-
ters and drink extra dry.

The Greek women have all the quickness

of their ancestors, and more courage, as l am
inclined to think, than the men.

The career of Miss Marie HaltOn in Lon
don was that of brilliant meteor. She
flashed upon the half-world with every ac-
cessory of somebody's spoiled darling. Her
private hanson stopped the way' outside
the Criterion and the Cafe Royale, and
her well-groomed ponies excited envious
curiosity in the park. One or the other
of the theatres saw her nightly in box,
flashing with diamonds and surrounded by
men. Then one morning she disappeared.
Next she was heard of queening it like one
of Ouida's heroines in Moths and win
ming fabulous sums at roulette, and then,
tears and lamentations-andt the cable an

Things Not to be Disliked.
BAD" IN s.. Louis Republic.

1t isn't wise, you know, to have strong
likes and dislikes, especially when they are
only directed against weaknesses. Life is
too short, my friend, for you to hate so en-
phatically so many things If you are a
woman, it will affect your skin and make
wrinkles come about your mouth. If you
are man, it Will affect your digestion.
Don't dislike a woman who is prettily
gowned; she is not of necessity fool.
Don't dislike the book that's interesting:
it is not bound to be trash.
Don't dislike the music that is catching;
IL has a much greater mission than any of
Wagner's operas.
Don't dislike woman who changes her
mind-be thankful that she knows when
she has made mistake.
Don't dislike men who dress well and are
good-mannered; it is just possible they are
gentlemen.
Don't dislike children; remember some
body had TO bear with you once.
Don't dislike women who haye to earn
their own living; there's not single one Of
them who wouldn't rather have a man do it
for her.
Don't dislike this world and find IL unin-
teresting and tiresome: YOU may have 10 go
TO one where things will be more intense
and even more distracting perhaps, but
even less TO be liked
Don't dislike anything except that which
is mean, low, vulgar and wicked.
