don't suppose that very great num-
Der of men have suddenly become
wealthy through this means; that is,
don't suppose that a large number OF
very rich people have left fortunes to

But aside from any question of ma

ways the chance of that involved in it,

There are lots of people who like civil
treatment, who are, in fact, really
pleased by it, and though we might not
get anything in dollars and cents out
of civility extended in this way toward
people in general, yet / should say II

at least, the pleasure that is always to
be derived from affording pleasure to

point Of view we look al it, civility is a
good investment; we are sure to get
something out of it, anyway, and II

Danger in the Stamp Box.


A girl | know is betrothed to young
officer of the navy and as his birthday
is near at hand, she has bought pref
ty little stamp box in silN er to give to
him. but she is not going to give to
him after all.
Daughter" her father said to her.
'if you wish that young man well,
never give him n stamp box. You
couldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. A man would better carry dy-
Mantle than stamps. One of the brav-
est officers in the navy has been for
twenty years paying the penalty of his
folly in carrying stamps. Everybody
knows who he is. Years ago he re-
ceived an order from the department
which displeased him very much. He
knew to whom he owed 1t, and sat
himself down that same night and ,ex-
pressed himself frankly OH paper 10 the
man he blamed for the obnoxious or
der. He had stamp. so he sent the
letter off in the nights mail. If he
hadn't had stamp he would not have
mailed the letter until morning, and II
he had kept II till morning he'd never
have sent it at all, and he would not
have paid the penalty of 'sassing the
department Don't send the young man
a stamp box. The officer I've been
telling you about says that his expert
ence taught him never TO carry stamps,
but the trouble about the wisdom eX-
perience brings is that It usually comes
too late to be Of any use Don't encour-
age the young man to carry stamps. 1t

p.n.ers Of the Cold Bath.

A cold bath should he taken with
the greatest discrimination. and deli
cate girls and women should never en-
bark upon the enterprise without medi-
chi sanction. Cold lathing in the early
morning is beneficial only to those who
have sufficient vital energy and nerv
one force to insure good reaction. with
no subsequent languor or iassitude.
Won NAV feel refreshed Immediately
after your bath. but tired and ianguid
two or three hours after II. When
This occurs It is conclusive evidence
against the practice. Those who have
an abundance of flesh and blood who
are lympbatic or sluggish in tempera-
ment. and whose nervous force Is not
depleted can take the cold morning
hath TO advantage. Others. who are
thin. and slight. whose hands and feet
become cold and clammy on the slight
est provocation. who digest fool slowly
and assimilate II with difficulty. should
avoid early morning bathing. For all
s,.ch a tepid bath in the middle or tho
dav fbnt not within two hours after

STRAIGHT HAIR.
The Young Lady Who Has 1t Is Now
Quite In Vogue.

The miserable helpless young person
who has been in the habit OF feeling
that IL was a social iniquity to appear
IN public without having first tortured
her every straight tress into some
artificial outlines Is released from
bondage this fall. and may wear her
hair according to Natures cwn sug.
gestion without the slightest sense or
nervous apprehension.

her straight locks in loose pompa-

ANYTHING that does not suggest rats

brushes It smoothly back. and does II
ia a braided coil ut the back of her

IT Is absolutely essential that straight
hair dressed plain should be beauti.
fully groomed. which means frequent
washing. brushing. and the utmost
neatness of arrangement TO bring
about all the chic. fresh prettiness OF
which II is capable.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that ga man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what YOU haven't got. The man
can't give free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma.
And in this particular q woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N ", has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
sician If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors SO
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as Dr. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The main difference between lunatics
and other people is that lunatics have
no fads.
When you get close enough, most of
the deepest footprints on the sands Of
time look pigeon-toed.
II the men ran things for three weeks
the human race would be eating off
wooden dishes that they could put Into
the fire after each meal.
In his heart, every man thinks abou;
once a week that his wife was a fool
for marrying him, and the rest of the
time that he was fool for marrying
her.
A woman may sometimes admit that
she did wrong, but she will never admit
that there wasn't a good excuse for it.

A New Portrait of Cnrisl.

A FrencEman named Boyer d Agen, who is the author of work on Lourdes, discovered a curious bronze medal among number of old coins for sale in curiosity shop at Rome. He bought it for 10 centimes because he thought he discovered on it Hebrew characters dating back to the primitive times of the Christian era. On close examination it has been declared that it bears the effigy of Jesus.
 The portrait is profile, with the head slightly inclined forward. The forehead is high, the nose rather long, slightly pointed at the tip the mus taches are slightly marked, and the beard is pointed. As for the hair it is long and curly. The physiognomy, talk en as whole. cannot be called regular. but it is extremely fascinating.
 On returning to Paris with his pur- chase NJ. Boyer d'Agen showed the medal to numerous numismatists, who pronounced it to be at least of the greatest antiquity, though, of course, ii would have beep too much to expect they should guarantee its authenticity. The Hebrew inscription it bears on the reverse translated into English is: ''The Messiah, the King, will come in peace. He is the light of men, incarnate and living"

THE TREATYS PROSPECTS.
Passage of One Antiexpansion Reso-
 lutIon Will Be Conceded.

Washington. Feb. l.-Resolutions de- claring in favor of the ultimate inde- pendence of the Philippines will be vot- ed upon before the treaty of peace it ratified.
 To this extent the antiexpansionists have won victory. Whether they will be able to adopt the kind of resolution Sley want remains to be seen. They cannot prevent the ratification of the treaty nor have they votes enough tc amend it.
 On the other hand, the advocates of the treaty are not absolutely certain that they can get the SO votes necessary to ratify the treaty if they defy the antiexpansionists by preventing a vote on the pending independence reSolu- tions. They have 5s votes pledged for the treaty internationally. By permit ting a vote on pending resolutions they are sure of more than the necessary vote for the treaty, whatever may be done with the resolutions.
 Accordingly the Republican leaders after conference have concluded to allow an antiexpansion resolution to be voted upon. The programme will be tc move reference to the foreign relations committee of all resolutions as fast as they are brought up until the one con sidered harmless-that introduced by Senator Sullivan-is reached, when 8 number of Republicans will join the Democrats in voting for its immediate adoption. All indications point to the adoption of this resolution. which pro- vides:

M'KlNlEY'S HEALTH FAILING
President Worn Out by the Strain ot
 the Struggle over the Treaty.

the Struggle over the Treaty.
 Washington. Feb. 1.-The president Is so much interested in the outcome of the struggle over the peace treaty that he Is constantly inquiring about its progress He has been so worn by the shock of the persistent opposition in the senate that his health Is affected. That marvellous strength and vigor which carried him through the campaign, through the exciting events leading up to the war and through the tremendous strain of the war itself at last seems to have given way.
 For more than a week MT. Mckinley has been far from well. To intimate visitors among public men he has con fided the condition of his health as a reason for not accepting their invita- tions for futSre ceremonies. At the same time the assurance has been given that the illness is only temporary and certainly will yield to medical treat ment.
 Believing that rumor of his illness might cause unnecessary concern, the president has desired to keep his con- dition from the public. but a New York member of congress who had been to the White House brought the report to the capitol and spread 1t that the presi- dent was far from we'll. The friends of the president assert that he is improv ing and that he soon will be all right.
