KIND WORDS FROM A VISITING
STRANGER

STRANGER.
Mr.. G. +. Lovatt, a, clever business
man of Philadelphia, who is visiting
Father flanagan at his home. on
Brewer street. expressed himself to
Virginian-Pllot reporter as being
charmed with the quaintness OF Nor
folks old homes.
1t Is my. first visit south OF Balti-
more" said Mr.. Lovatt, land had no
idea you had such great town. I am
especially delighted with your beautl-
ful old colonial architecture. While we
have choice bits in Philadelphia, you
have many more, and In my walks with
Father Hannhgan have been much
taken with the number OF old ivied
homes that your city contains. One Of
the best specimens of old colonial ar
chitecture in Philadelphia is the State
House, but our specimens are limited
You have them sprinltled all over the
town. I would not take ten of your
new homes for one of these old man
slons."
Mr.. Lovatt, who has the artistic eye,
spoke especially of the British consurs
home, on Freemason stree. and the old
grey colonial home on the next cor
ner. He also admired the Grccian
style of the Academy. and was sur
prised to learn that it was q modern
building.
II wish that had brought my cam
era with me-" continued Mr.. Lovatt.
II should then have takeni home with
me n collection of views of NorfollS's
old homes. While I am in the South I
am going 10 make a general survey of
the colonial architecture of this sec

housekeeper sumptuously entertained
Washington society. Finally Mrs. Mae
Kay began suit for divorce and. In 1890,
was granted decree with $25,0 900 year
ly as alimony, the possession of two
beautiful homes and also the custody of
tneir two sons. Mr.. MacKay made no
defense and by many was considered
too magnanlmous because of his quiet
acceptance of the decree.
Six years later Count Won Bruening,
then o secretary Of the German en-
bassy at Washington, came into Mrs.
MacKay's life. After two years they
became engaged. The marriage took
place In Washington the latter part of
last April, the Count and Countess sail
ing at once to Constantinople, where
the former was stationed as a member
of the German embassy The Count
and Countess are now living in Berlin,
where the beauty and charm Of the ac-
complished American are greatly ad-
mired.
AS a wedding gift to the Countess,
Mr.. MacKay presented her check for
$1,O00,0O0. He still devotes himself to
business and has amassed an enormous
fortune.

those veins extending up around the
outside Of the skull are most important
Analogously 1t is pointed out that If
rose tree were to be bound tightly
around the trunk great deal Of nutri-
ton would be cut Off from the bark.
If, in addition to this, you were to cover
the tree with great bag and tie the
mouth tightly around the trunk, the
tree would die. The attitude of the stiff
hat Is similar to this. Every time you
pull your derby hat from your head
and it comes loose with a Jerk you are
overcoming the pounds of pressure 1t is
eXertlng on the skull.
In order to maintain healthy growth
the hair must have air. The act of pro-
tectlng the head from draughts de-
prives 1t of nutrition The derby hat
may be compared to the Black Hole of
Calcutta. The better class of derby
hats have two little eyelets placed one
In each side of the crown, but even
these do little good.
In summer the universal use of the
straw hat Is saving grace, but only
for time. With the first breath of fall
air we are back to our derbys again,
nd the process Of hair starving goes
N. Recently there has been a tenn
porary prediction for the soft hat,
but whether that is simply freak of
fashion or a realization Of the danger
done by stiff hats is hard to determine.

what was the Strangest case l ever

CAUSE OF BADNESS.
Hard Hats Said to Be Responsible for
Increasing Loss of Hair.

Hard Hats Said to Be Responsible for
increasing Loss of Hair.
Are you predisposed to badness? If
so, don't wear n stiff hat. Doctors,
wigmakers, and BARRIERS have said that
the derby and beaver hat are responsi-
Bile for the increasing blight Of bald
ness. This Is interesting In view of the
rapid progress scientists say we are
making toward absolute badness. Men
have not used their hair for centuries,
and 1t is slowly becoming less abund-
ant. Woman, on the other hand, has
used her hair as nature intended 1t to
be used, as head protector. She has
never confined 1t tightly with stiff hat
Hence 1t remains to her fine and thick.
The hair depends for its nutrition on
the blood supply that flows In the fine
veins running over the scalp. Some of
the veins that supply the hair follicles
with food come through the skull, but

CAMEO CARVING.
Brief Description of the Tools and the
Method Employed.

Brief Description of the Tools and the
Method Employed.
All the tools used by the cameo
carver would make but n handful. The
worker sits before wheel turned by
pedal; tools occupy n small corner of
the table surface on which the work
er's hands rest while he holds the
shaped stone or shell. beneath the
needle-like drill. The little pointed In
struments which are used to drill re-
semble those employed by dentist
and, indeed, 1t was from the cameo
carver's kit that the dentists got many
of their ideas when the tools now In
use by them came to be manufactured,
thirty years ago. The drills vary in
thickness according to the portion of
the figure or design to be executed;
some are as fine as the point of cam
brio needle. A small china receptacle
also stands near, filed with oil and dia-
mond dust, and into this the workman
frequently dips his tool during the
progress Of his work. The cameo cut
ter's occupation Is very exacting. He
can put in only a few hours work at
a time as usual thing, because of. the
tension on his nerves, A quavering
hand may be responsible for the single
stroke which will spoil a weeks work
He must have an eye almost like a
microscope, and a. very delicate touch;
he must be an artist in soul and as
skilled craftsman as Is watch
maker; he must know how to model
and draw, and he must have knowl-
edge of chemistry, so as to remove
offending spots. The work Is executed
In relief on many kinds of hard or
precious stones, but essentially the
chalcedonic variety of quartz, and on
shells. The cameo cutter himself pre-
fers onyx because of its dark and light
layers, which throw out in bold relief
a white head. say, against a black
background. He evolves his picture by
removing all that portion Of the white
stratum remaining after the head has
been completed. Sapphire blocks are
used, carnelian, turquoise, amethyst
and numerous other stones. 1t takes
about one month to execute q portrait
on onyx, while much less time Is con-
sumed If the work is done ON shell.
There is always great danger of the
latter breaking; and its durability, too,
is not great, so that shell, as a rule, Is
not as desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one In shell may be had for $50. The
inquiries for these are rare, and build
ing up a patronage is slow, and is ac-
complished mainly by satisfied CUSTOM
ers influencing others.-New ; York

An Empress Who Wrestles.

The Empress Dowager Of China is
described by an English lady, who has
spent the greater part of her life In the
Celestial Empire, as much more re-
markable woman than most Europeans
suppose. She is an ardent painter, and
her pictures are said to be admirable
specimens Of Chinese art. Strange as
1t may seem, her Majesty is also said
to be fond Of wrestling, and frequently
INDUCES in this rather virile form of
exercise. She Is well read, Is fond of
European music, and has some skill as
a pianist. She is said both by her
friends and enemies to be absolutely
without any sense of fear, and. need
less to say, her. life has been attempted
an infinite humber of times. e..

A Narrow Escape.

A man came to st. Louis from Texas
not long ago to see the sights. He had
with him nearly four thousand dollars.
among which were three one thousand
dollar notes. Having no friends In the
city, and being fearful of banks, he hid
these big bills very securely, as he
thought, by pastlng them on the inside
of his shirt bosom. After carousing for
about a week he took his undergar-
ments to a laundry, and three days
later discovered at the same time that
the bills were. still on the shirt, and
that he had forgotten where the laun-
dry was. In his despair he left the
city and returned to st. Louis, and
when he took his clothes to~a laundry,
the proprietor recognized him and said
81 have something here that belongs
to you" When the careless fellow saw
his thousand-dollar bills again he al
most tainted from joy. Now he keeps
his surplus wealth in bank.

Countess life has been most romantic.
She was the daughter of Mr.. MacKay's s
housekeeper and had grown from child
hood to mature beauty under his eyes.
Although twice her age, Mr.. MacKay
paid her devoted attention, and she
finally became his bride. Everything
that wealth could provide was lavished
upon the young wife and for time
theirs was a happy home. But season
of court life evidently gave Mrs. Mac
Kay new Ideas, for she made n pro-
nounced sensation by her beauty and
was 10th to return to her native land.
Mr.. MacKay's life was always busy
and it came about that while he worked
the fascinating daughter Of his former
