Good advice. Bill Nye writes to the
bald headed friend who asks his advice
on hair restoratives as follows: .sTake
your hair invigorator money and buy a
town lot in a growing town that sup
ports its home paper and advertises,
and 60 ahead, and you will be fixed,
and the man who is fixed don't care
whether he has any hair or not

Yet another chief Is carried
From life battle o. his spears,
To the great Nalhala cloistefs

Yet another year-t1e mummy

Is nicheu within the pyramid
Of the ever-growing past.
Years roll through the palm Of ages,
As the dropping rosary speeds
Through the cold and passive fingers
Of hermit at his beads.
Ono year falls and ends It's penance.
One arises with its needs.
And It's ever thus prays Nature,
Only telling years for beads.
Years, like acorns from the branches
Of the giant oak of Time
Fill the earth with healthy seedlings
For future more sublime.

FLIRTING WITH PRINCESSES.
The Prince of Wales Having Lots of
Trouble With His Daughters.

Special London Cable to the Philadelphia Times.
The prince Of Wales is reported to be very
angry at the paragraphs in the papers saying
his second daughter is going to be married
He agrees with the queen, who said after the
Osborne house theatricals that something
should be done to muzzle the British papers,
The prince adds that English papers are
worse than American because nothing that
they say is true and everything is denied next
day. Since the marriage of the Princess Vic
toria and the duke Of Fife the princesses are
allowed more freedom. and young noblemen
are permitted to call at Marlboro house and to
talk and firt with them. Bouquets and can
dies enough to stock a store every day. and on
st. Valentines day hand-cart full of valen-
tines was received by the porter. When the
princesses drive in the park there is always
cavalcade surrounding them.
The prince says it is Commanded nui-
sance," and the princes of Wales does not like
it. 1t is plain that the object is not marriage,
but merely to be seen in the princely circle on
terms Of intimacy. Besides. though the prince
and princess are fond parents, they both like
to be looked upon as young people. The prince
is an awkward but indefatigable waltzer and
the princess likes attention much as ever she
did and both are sensitive to approaching age
The princess has forty wigs and keeps two
special experts to disguise her coming wrinkles
ana the crows Ieet AnOtutr trouble Is where
to draw the lines of rank. There are not more
than half o dozen noblemen in England who
could possibly be regarded as worthy suitors,
and complications may arise with the crowned
families of Europe as to the propriety of royal
personages legally marrying below their rank
The courts OF Germany, Italy, Russia and
Spain regard the marriages of Fife, Lorne and
Battenberg merely morganatic alliances,
which causes humlliating incidents when the
princesses visit these courts with their hus-
bands. The marquis OF Lorne has been snubbed
in every court in Europe, and last year when
the queen was visiting the queen regent of
Spain Prince Henry of Battenberg was forced
10 give precedence to several Spanish grandees
The queen and prince Of Wales have decided
that it is necessary for the safety of thrones
that the hold OF royalty should be preserved
intact, SO next season the English court will
be made TO understand that the princesses are
not in the home market, but are reserved for
foreign crowned heads. This however, is for
the present carefully suppressed. The Princess
Maud Of Wales is in love with the handsome
young son OF an English earl. who was once re-
ceived graciously by the prince and princess,
but will now be advised to travel and probably
sent to India, and the Princess Maud is to 60
for long visit to her cousin in Athens.

UNCLE SANS GARDEN SPOT.
Something Of Interest About the Yellow
stone Park.

Col. e. C. Waters, superintendent of the sys-
tenn of hotels in the Yellowstone national park,
is in the city felicitating with the northwestern
contingent and more particularly with the
Montana delegation, in whose state he has in
the past resided.
"Want the park admitted to the Union?" he
was asked in the lobby of the Riggs house by
a STAR reporter.
"Oh, no. We have only about one hundred
and fifty people in the park and they are
laborers on the wagon roads, for which Sc, 900
was appropriated by Congress. So you see
there are not taxpayers enough to make gov
eminent interesting, but the report of the Sec
rotary Of the Interior shows that about 10 200
pilgrims pass through the park in the four
months season and. as the route of travel is
limited to the ten or twelve points of note
summer life there is as interesting as it is de-
lightfully comfortable.
when Uncle Rufus Hatch went to the wall"
continued Col. Waters. "a stock company Sc
cured the hotel privileges and has now eight
houses Of about two hundred rooms average
capacity clustered around Yellowstone lake, in
northwestern Wyoming. This lake is the source
OF the Yellowstone river and is one Of the pref
test bodies Of water in the world It is thirty
miles long by twenty wide, between 5000 and
5000 feet above the sea, and soundings were
made last summer showing depth of 457 feet
steam boat that will carry $50 people was put
on the lake this season and it takes it day to
make a round trip"
where ID the front gate Of the park-how
does the public climb IMP"
"A branch Of the Northern Pacific runs down
sixty miles from Livingstone, Mont, to Cunna-
bar, from which place stage line makes the
rounds Of the resorts, circuit of about one
hundred and fifty miles to the station again,
in easy runs OF about twenty miles between
hotels"
Big monopoly your company has?"
"Well, hardly. You see, large part of the
visitors are campers and the hotel rates are
fixed by the Secretary of the Interior at "a
day. No, the company hasn't made any money
yet, but 1t has spent good deal, Its chief object
being to entertain the great American public.
1t will build two more houses the coming sea-
son for their convenience.
The color line? No, that hasn't been drawn
up our way. Colored persons have OCCASION
ally passed through the park and have been
entertained, like the rest of the world for
value received"
