has been member of our order for
15 months; he was quiet, peace
able and conscientious member,
but owing to his long affections

tim of the great "white plague -
which slowly but surely counts its
Victims by the thousands.
This is only another warning to

flight Of time, and that this life is
preparatory to the eternal one to
follow, therefore be it

What the Color OF the Hair
Means.
Course black hair indicates pow
er of character with a tendency to
seusuality
Straight stiff black hair indi-
cate coarse, strong, rigid and
straight forward personality.
Fine hair generally denotes ex-
quisite sensibilities. Flat, cling
ing straight hair, a melancholy,
but constant habit.
Harsh, upright hair is the sign
reticent and sour spirit, a stub
born and cruel character.
Coarse red hair is accompanied
by strong animal passions, but con.
siderable force of character.
Auburn hair denotes the highest
order of sentiment and intesity OF
feeling, purity of thought and the
greatesr capacity for pain or pleas.
ure.!
Crisp, curly hair is indicative of
hasty, impetuous and rash charac-
ter, and generally, light hair indi-
oates lymphatic and indolent
constitution.
There is no doubt that the COL
oring matter of the hair may be in
some way affected, or may affect
the disposition, for it is an odd
thing how often the surplus in red
hair, or the carbon in black, ap!
pears in the individuals thoughts
and acts.

sting is taken away.

Bro. in this his dark hour of be-

wAsHINGIoN's FACE WILL
CHANGE.

The Old Familiar Likeness on
Two-Cent Postage Stamp
Seen No More.
For the FIRST time since 1869 the
postoffice department. with the is
suance of the new series of stamps
now in preparation, will make use
of the American flag in one of its
designs. This will be a part of the
two cent stamp, which by the way,
will bear little resemblance to the
one now in use. The portrait OF
Washington, which has long ap.
peared on the popular stamp, will
be succeeded by photograph taken
from Gilbert Stuart's famous paint
ing. The familiar bust of Wash
ineton, SO long known to the stamp
using public. was drawn from Hou-
don's profile cast. Let the public,
then, soon take its last view of the
likeness of Washington. which is
doubtless more than any other i'm
pressed upon the popular mind.
