All this discussion relative to what
will be oone with the Philippines is
easily settled almost in a word by one
of Gen. Joe Wheelers letters from the
Philippines. Said he: I'VE drove out
the Spaniards, who had been the gov
erning power for nearly 400 years. For
US to withdraw would leave condi-
ton of anarchy, and foreigners who
own property in the country would
have, certainly, a strong moral claim
against the United States for their
losses. Americans will find this an ex-
cellent field for their energies, and the
wealth producing powers of these is
lands under American influence will be
great"

This ruling of First Assistant POST
master General Keefe is going to stir
up good many sewing society circles.
1t is the decision in the case of Mrs.
Jennie j. Brown of Modus, CT, an
nouncing that the department has de-
cided that it will be incompatible with
the best interests of the service to re-
tain married women as post office
clerks. The department has therefore
ruled that when female post office
clerk marries, it will be necessary for
her to resign from the service.

Town Tales
SY5'97YSYYSSVSTV '9sYYYYv7YYS7Y1s;

Though most people know that khaki
is the name of the material used for
the uniforms worn by our soldiers in
the Philippines and the British soldiers
in South Africa, there is a strange diff
ference in the color adjectives used to
describe t. This color is such as to
afford the least possible chance for
sharpshooters, but one will call it drab,
another buff and still others light brown
or dirty yellow. AS matter of fact, it
is best indicated by the Hindoo root
from Which the word is derived KHAKI
dust, Khaki is dust colored or clay
colored. 1t was, Of course, originally
used for the uniforms of English East
Indian regiments. Mr.. Rudyard Kip
ling's spelling "kharki" has, by the way,
no genealogical justification. His in
trusion of the ''r'' is a little phonetic
device, probably, in the interest of the
cockney, to insure the broad sound be-
ing given to the vowel. Scotsmen and
North Countrymen in England, and
Americans in general, can afford to ig-
more this spelling of the word.
That contribution of $4,000 given by
Mrs. Mary A. Richardson of Worcester
to st. Lawrence University at Canton.
N. Y, is high tribute in a sense to
Rev Dr. Almon Gunnison. Mrs. Rich
ardson has been many years a member
of the First UniI ersalist church and is
an intimate friend of Rev. DIR. Gun
nison.
The feature of New York life that
appeals most forcibly to a stranger is
said to be the honesty of the general
public in little things, such as paying
car fares and bills at restaurants. In
no other city, perhaps, is the public
trusted so far by restaurants. There
are big places downtown where the
crush of patrons at the noon hour is so
great that 1t would be a physical i'm
possibility to wait on the diners and
keep tab on what they eat. There
fore, the restaurant man makes no at
tempt to do so. He sets the food out
where the patrons can help themselves.
Tags over each article tell what the
customer is expected to pay and he
eats, and pays what he pleases. His
statement of a bill is never questioned.
The proprietor knows at the end of
each day whether he has been cheated
any. Occasionally there is a trifing
loss. but it Is not enough to pay the
wages of a clerk. Now and then
boy is caught in the act of gorging
himself with pie and pudding at the
rate of ten cents a day, but persistent
offenders are watched until there is no
possible doubt as to their guilt, and
then they, are openly reprimanded in
the hearing of hundreds, and the Of
Tense is not repeated.
The longest ride in the world for five
cents can be enjoyed in New York, If
one has the endurance. It may not be
exactly honest, but there is none to OBJ
1ect, and no one will hinder a trial of
it, as has been proved by actual expert
ence. Get on a West side II car at
say, 155th street. At the Battery, of
course one can transfer to the east
side without question, and ride to 177th
street. That alone is all an ordinary

1t would appear that there is slight
difference of opinion between President
Mckinley and his attorney general, Mr..
Griggs. The president in his message to
congress makes a strong plea for federal
legislation against trusts. The attorney
general devotes much space to an at
tempt at proving the inef1ciency of
federal legislation as a safeguard
against trusts. This divergence of opin-
ion indicates no irreconcilability of
views. 1t merely proves how difficult of
adjustment is the whole trust question.
There is no sure and speedy remedy for
the evil, and financial octopuses will be

never be allowed to wear anything but

Very long and heavily embroidered robes
and cloaks are not good for babies, as
they are too heavy. Often the babies of

Olive OIL for the Hair.

from the New York Herald.
To the well-groomed woman the care of
her hair is a subject of paramount i'm
portance, and every new recipe to prevent
it from falling out, to keep it in the neces-
sary condition of wave, 7uffiness and gen
orally well-cared-for appearance, is hailed
with joy and Immediately tested.
Some well-meaning persons have sworn
by kerosene. and many easily persuaded
women have tried it, only to find them
selves a nuisance to the family while the
Cure was in process, and in the end
obliged TO abandon its use from the very
disagreeable after effects of the treatment.
All authorities on the subject of hair doc
toring agree that the natural oil Of the
hair, judiciously augmented by an arti-
flcially applied oil, will be of material bene-
fit in producing luxuriant, glossy tresses
and prevent the long ends from splitting
and the hair from falling out. for the rea-
son that the roots are properly nourished.
Another reason why some good oil should
be carefully applied to the roots of the
hair is the necessity of keeping the scalp
loose from the head, and by this means
permitting the natural oil of the hair to
nourish it as nature intended it should.
1t has been found that the best, purest
olive oil, purchased at some reliable gro
Gerry or Italian warehouse or in small guam
titles from the drug store has all the me-
dicinal qualities of kerosene without any of
it's disagreeable after effects.
Only use very little at time, dipping the
fingers into a saucer containing not more
than half a teaSpoonful of the very best
oil. Then massage the scalp thoroughly

DR.. F. w. Hodge of the bureau CT eth

became aware Of internal trouble. His con-

his return east he was taken sick in Chi
cago and remained there for some time.
