HOW TO AVOID Badness.
Do Not Wear Your Hat Too Tight Over
Your Temples.

The writer Of this squib has much hair
on his head. As 4 young man it WIS

How does it happen that this one intiNld~
ual is singled out from all the rest T. bj'
the posSesSor of 50 much hair? Has 1t
been the use Of hair tonics? Is it tho re-
suit of frequent sha1npoOs by the barber?
Has he been spending money for some
faVorite hair rcstorerE Nothing of the
sort. None of these things has happened
1t has been brought about neither by wise
mana cement nor heredity. This il tho
way it happened The head upon which
this luXuriant hair grows is Of long dl.
ameter from before backward, but If
short diameter from side 10 side. That y
to say, long, thin head with rather hoi-
low temples. This makes it impossible to-
him to buy q hat that fits tightly to his
head His head being so long. he Is
obliged to buy a ~. which is always too
wide for his thin head. He has probably
never worn hat in his life that fit tight
Wen, what has all this to do with luz
uriant hair? 1t has much to do with Il.
The temporal arteries that supply tho
scalp with blood run up the side Of the
temples The average person wears a
hat that fits tightly over The temples.
This construction of the arteries ard
veins that supply the circulation Of the
blood. and the pressure of the hat upon
these blood vessels, cut off in part the
circulation of the blood to the scalp. This
makes the hair unhealthy and inclined TO
drop out. Baldheadedness comes on pre-
maturey. But in case of the lOng-hedd-
ed person we are describing, no nat could
be found that would fit tightly across the
temples.
1t was no wisdom of his that preserved
his hair bat merely the accidental shape
of his head. He has always been Obliged
to wearga hat that toHehed the forehea 4 |

Cromwell and Lee,


In a recent address, in Chicago,
Charles Francis Adams urged the cree
ton in Washington of a statue to Rob-
ert L. Lee as national tribute to the
greatest soldier of the lost cause. The
argument was an able one and has
aroused much comment, both favorable
and adverse, in all sections of the
country. Mr.. Adams does not expect
his proposition to be accepted imme-
diateiy. He admits that the time has
probably not yet arrived for such a
memorial of the great Confederate
leader, but he believes that as to-day
the bronze effigy Of Oliver Cromwell
massive in size, rugged in feature,
characteristic in attitude-stands def
antly in the yard of that Westminster
Hall from pole on the top of which,
twelvescore years ago, the flesh crum-
bled from his SKULL" so in the not dis
tant future 1.-The bronze effigy of Rob-
ert F. Lee mounted on his charger and
rank, will from its pedestal in the ma
tons capital look across the Potomac
at his old home at Arlington"
While Lee will ever stand out as a
great American of commanding abili-
ties and high nobility of character, we
cannot feel that it is a happy COMPARE
son to place him with Cromwell or to
compare the work which Lee tried to
do and failed with that which Crom-
well successfully accomplished. The
principles for which Cromwell fought
have been accepted by England as es-
sental to its continued freedom and
progress, and it is perfectly consistent
TO honor his memory as is done at
Westminster, While Lee must ever
stand in history as a man who struck
vital principle of the United States.
| 1t took two centuries for England to
| realize that in Cromwell was a man
who, in spite of mistakes and excuses,
was a patriot and a statesman who
had placed England under obligations to
| him. Numberless centuries may pass,
| but they cannot change the fact that
Lee was wrong and the cause of the
Union was right.
Lee had none of the deadly earnest
ness and sublime faith in his cause
which characterized Cromwell. He be
| lieved neither in secession nor in the
institution of slavery, but he put his
state before the Union and with regret
ana hesitation he threw his fortunes
with Virginia. Had Virginia remained
in the Union he would have fought as
tirelessly and bravely to save the
Union as he did to destroy it, a ma
memorial to the lost cause of state
sovereignty as opposed to the national
idea, and such a monument this coun-
try should never erect. Washington
has 4 statue to George H. Thomas, q
great NirgiEian who elected to go with
his country when Lee went against it,
What a contrast and contradiction
would be a statue of Lee beside that
of Thomas! Our people do remarkable
things when swept by a wave OF senti-
mentalism. but it hardly seems they
can do such an inconsistent thing as to
erect q national statue of Robert T.
Lee.

The list of coronation honors is long
one ana it takes a little away from it,
in the public mind at least, that it is
given out under existing circum-
stances. Scores Of prominent English
men were advanced and decorated by
their King. Among those best known
in this country, aside from the soldiers
such as Roberts and Kitchener, were
Conan Doyle, Gilbert Parker and
Thomas Upton. Arms, arts, letters
and public service of all sorts got
recognition.

Babe me keep ii clean and bright
Shining high and low;
Bear it StcadfaSt. without fear,
Shed its radiance far and near,
Make the path before me clear
With its friendly glow.

To sing upon my way;
Rough may be the road and long,
Dark may be the day
Yet "A little hirG can wing
Yet Il little flower can spring,
Yet II little child can sing,
Make the whole world say.
God gave me a little heart
To love what'cr he made;
Gave me strength 10 bear my part
Glad and unafraid
through Thy world SO fair, so bright,
Father, guide my steps Alright,
Thou my song and Thou my light.
So my trust is stayed.

The claims of Agunaldo and his

the testimony of Admiral Dewey before

clared with emphasis that he never

good man nominated and do not pro-
pose to again lapse from their habit of
sweeping the state at each election.
