The Philips farm had been purchased

at Asheville, N. c., for his health. The

not believe in stimulants and never used

he always took his dose of cod liver oil

Orna,peo,tnr the Hair.

One OF the charms OF the present
fashion being eclecticism, one may
select for ornamenting the hair other
ornaments besides fringes without
being outlawed. Just what styles in
coiffures are most prevalent is re-
vealed in the following chat by New
York woman OF fashion. She said:
Last week went to see my hair
dresser. She is the one who gets up
those stunning coiffures for Mrs. Willie
Vanderbilt, Jr., and for those beauti-
full blond Levi Morton goddesses.
Her quick fingers did up my locks in
three styles, and all OF them, she
assured me, were bound to hold first
place for evening attire for the next
six or eight months. My hair she
pompadoured, so to speak. al! around

elaborately puffed the length OF it on

she permitted to stray out on my
forehead, and then she inveigled me
into the purchase OF three distinct
styles OF hair ornaments by the shrewd
device OF fastening them in among the
coils and puffs and leaving the mirror
and my vanity to do the rest.
However, they are the smsrtest
little aids to beauty. The first is q

This country is learning that ethical

This country is learning that ethical
considerations like these are most in
tcnsely practical, and that study of
such problems is what the country
needs for truly larger growth. But
figures are deduced in the report to
convince those to whom figures are
the only tangible evidence. SO the
report sets forth that whenever the
system has been started properly, it
has been followed by these results:
Increased postal receipts. More
letters are written and received. More
newspapers and magazines are sub
scribed for. SO marked is this ad-
vsncement that many rural routes al
ready pay for themselves by the addi-
tional business they bring.
Enhancement of the value of farm
lands reached by rural free delivery.
This increase in value has been esti-
mated at as high Us S5 an acre in some
States. A moderate estimate is from
81 to SO an acre.

the recognition which the Governs

mails so near to his door.
Rural free delivery carriers, as q
rule, 'put on frills" in Indiana, which
State, next to Ohio, has the lions
share Of the existing experimental SER
vice. Most of them provide them
selves with regulation uniforms, at
their own cost, and furnish special
wagons, with pigeon holes and other
postal appliances-all for si00 year,

summer sunshine the temperature oc-

cred by the rural carriers are shown
in the photograph of n rural carrier in

First Assistant Postmaster General
reports that there are several girls
acting as bonded rural carriers, few
instances are recorded OF their failing
to make their daily trips, either in
the coolest storms of winter or the
blazing heat of summer.
One question which has received
grave consideration by the Depart
ment is the insecurity and improper
character of the mail boxes put up.
On this subject the First Assistant
Postmaster General says:
In the early days of the service,
when neither Congress nor the Post
Office Department, as then organized,
held out any hope that rural free de-
livery would prove more than a tran
STORY experiment, extreme careless
ness was manifested as to the kind of
receptacles put up as rural free de-
livery boxes. Tomato cans, cigar
boxes, drainage pipes up ended, soap
boxes and even sections of discarded
stove pipes were used as mail boxes,
and We're frequently placed in hedge
rows or other inconvenient spots out
of reach of the carrier.
The Department has entered UPON
a systematic effort to correct this COZ.
dition of things, and a recommends
tion is made that the Government pro-
vide uniform boxes and mountain

Kaiser. Great Ring OF state.

Whenever the Emperor of Germany
is engaged in an important function,
either imperial or royal, those near
him notice that should he by any
chance take the glove off his left hand
he wears on the middle finger largo
ring-a square, dark-colored stone set
in massive gold.
The story is that the ring is an old
heirloom in the Hohenzollern family,
dating from the time when the ances-
tors of the Kaiser-the Margrafs Of
Nuremberg-followed their leaders to
the capture OF the Holy Sepulchre
from the Moslems.
Margraf, OF Ulrich, who lived in the
thirteenth century, was an adventur.
Gus prince, aud it is believed that the
ring which the Kaiser now wears CAM
into Ulich's possession after hard
fought battle under the walls OF fJerusa-
lem. 1t belonged to one of Saladin' s
successors, and in some unexplained
manner it iound its way on to the fin
ger of the German Knight.
Some one of the Nuremberg Mar
grafs obliterated the sentence from
the Koran which originally adorned it
aud engraved Latin cross in its
place.

has performed one of the most brill
limit exploits Of personal daring during
the war in the Philippines.
This special act Of gallantry was
performed by Bell, who was then
Colonel, near Porac, Luzon, when he
was in command Of some scouts ahead
of the regiment. just as the day was
dawning the party encountered the
enemys patrol, consisting Of one Cap
tain, one Lieutenant and five privates.
Colonel Bell was in advance of bis
men and spurred on his horse. The
enemy was confused, and the men
sought to run away. Colonel Bell
pushed ahead alone and unsustained
charged the seven insurgents with his
pistol. lie scattered the party and
compelled the surrender of the Captain
and two privates under close and hot
fire from the remaining four irsur-
gents, who we're concealed in neigh
boring bamboo thicket. In thereport
it is stated that this feat was one of
several heroic acts performed by Col
onel Bell during the present war, and
that the wonder is that Bell still lives.
Colonel j. Franklin Bell entered
West Point from Shelbyville, Ky, in
1874, and graduated into the cavalry
service. When the Spanish war be-
gan he was q captain in the Seventh
Cavalry. At the beginning OF the war
he was sent to the Philippines with
General Merritt and had charge of the
Bureau of Military Information. He
was subsequently appointed a Major
Of Engineers and then Major and
Assistant Adjutant- General of Volun-
teers. When the Thirty-sixth Regi-
ment was recruited, Major Bell was
appointed to be their Colonel.
Time and again the conduct OF
Colonel Bell in the Philippines has
been commended by his superior Of
flcers, and he has been recommended
for medals and for brevets. At the
taking of Caloocan last February,
while our troops were shclliDg the
town, Bell, then Major, led com
pany of the First Montana Regiment
in a clever and audacious outflanking
maneuver whereby they penetrated
the town and arrived unexpectedly
on the enemy's left flank. The enemy,
outwitted as well as outfought, fled
precipitately.

that in the last fifteen years he has
driven ~, 900 miles going to and from
the postofllce TO get his mail-all travel
that is saved to him by the free de-
livery system.
In the last report of the frat As
sistant Postmaster. General there are
some striking illustrations.
There is, for example, a scene at a
country store, twelve miles from
Lafayette, Ind, from which point
three rural letter carriers start daily,
each making circuitous drive of
twenty five miles or more, without
passing over the same road twice, At
the particular point photographed
four cross roads meet, and twenty or
more families, most of them living
half q mile from the store, have each
put up an individual letter box of
galvanized iron, lettered with the
name of the person for whom it is in
tended.
