Cecil Rhodes' Personality.

Certainly one Of the strongest men
have ever met was Cecil Rhodes; the
most striking personality. His ideas were
on such gorgeous scale. He would
treat lions and tigers as ordinary people

before he died he was planning sort Of
farm for wild administered in. Again,
he planned an avenue in memory of the
siege of Kimberley. ''Siege avenue

and broad enough to allow a four-in-hand
to drive down.
One day while l was sketching him in
his little study he rang for Secretary

The huge order impressed me- He
merely wished to see it completed before
he left Kimberley. l could well believe
he would have constructed an empire in

would throw down clumpS of flowers of

that they would be in complete sympathy

's. Of &<zZztzM
Man with Green Hair.

1t has been observed for centuries that
coppersmiths sometimes have green hair.
A Berlin professor has been inyestigat-
ing the subject. He says: Green hair is
by no means common among copper
workers. 1t occurs only among those
who have worked with the metal for
many years, and the individual suscepti-
bility varies greatly. 1t is sometimes as
serted that the hair turns green after IL
few months work in hot weather, but
this is a mere superficial color, the re-
suit of the action of perspiration upon
the copper dust, and it can be washed
eff.
The true dyed in the WOOL green hair
cannot be restored TO its original color by
more than 800 coppersmiths | found only
eight with green hair. The hair Of 4
man who had been q brass polisher for
twenty-seven years showed no trace Of
green. OF two men who had worked for
many years under identical conditions,
one had a green beard, the others hair
retained its natural color.
Animals are sometimes turned green by
copper. A sheep which has been ex-
posed for years to copper fumes and dust
had a fine green fleece. This animals
drinking water was also contaminated
by refuse from the copper works, which
seemed to have had bad effect GA it's
general health
In men the beard seems to be more at
fected than the hair Of the head, and
the eyebrows least of all. Blondes arc
more visibly affected than dark-haired
people.
After working in copper is given up
the green color may disappear, but only
after a number Of years. I saw an old
man with snow-white hair which had
formerly been green. Another white
haired workman did not acquire the
green coloration until FIVE months after
he had ceased work.

will look perfectly happy. for with per-
feet health there comes feeling which is
akin to that of contentment and the re-
suit is shown on the face. The healthy
woman will look happy and any road
which leads to health and physical cul-
ture will reveal its effects and leave its
imprint upon the face.
The girl Of 1904 will have wonderful
complexion, for she has learned that
there is nothing that will take the place
of a nice skin She has found out that
she must be attractive as to mouth and
complexion and she takes measures to
be simply bewitching as to both. Her
other features are not quite so easily
nodded and she is compelled to work
upon them a long time for results
The girl of 1904 Will secure a pair of
broad shoulders by physical culture exer-
cises. She will breathe deeply. take lung
exercises. stand with her shoulders back
and broaden them by caliSthenics. She
realizes that it is the fashion to have the
shoulders broader than the hips and she
will secure this result by her manner of
dressing her shoulders if she cannot Sc
cure it in any other way.
The columnesque throat is much more
easily obtained than is supposed. and the
linen collar will not permanently in lure
it. Indeed, a linen collar. not too high
nor too tightly worn, will not injure a
throat in any way, for it is removed in
the evening and the neck is exposed. so
that the throat is in its rigid band only
Il part Of the time.
To make the throat round it must GER
tainly be exercised. The slender figure
comes in three ways. 1t comes by rigid
diet, by systematic exercise and By mas
sage. Massage is only another name for
exercise, for it actually does exercise the
flesh away as nothing else can do. There
are women who are too tired too indo-
lent, perhaps too weak, too nervous or
IN too bad condition to walk. And for
them there is nothing the equal of mas
sage. Women along in life who have
outgrown the time when they like to
walk for the invigoration Of it can take
| massage with the best Of results.

LUMBER SUPPLY.
Prodigal Use Americans Make of Timber
The End in Sight.

The End IN Sight.
Il is not strange that trees were once
objects of worship, and forests considered
holy places. Trees are benefactors in
more ways than ne-commercially yalu-
able, they have a still greater value for
climate, and are by no means negligible
as a satisfaction to the esthetc nature.
One thing is certain, countries that have
laid sacrilegious hand on their trees have
been cursed with grabbed age and barren
ness.
In speaking of our prodigal use Of CO.
nlferous timber and the possible end of
the supply, the Milwaukee Sentinel says:
The latest estimate was an incidental
feature of a paper read by L. B. Walker
Of Minneapolis at the recent meeting of
the American Forestry association, from
which the Mississippi Valley Lumberman
takes figures for interesting comparisons.
Mr. Walker finds that the country still
has lumber supply amounting to some
thing over thousand billions of feet
Figuring on q % per cent. annual in
crease in the cut, he concludes that the
thousand and three billions in the country
at large will last twenty-five years, but
be makes no allowance for the growth Of
timber In that length Of time, and at the
! end of the quarter century statisticians
doubtless will still be figuring on the rap
idly approaching end.
But the end is coming, nevertheless,
and in time exceedingly short in com
parison with the probable life of the ma
ton. Each succeeding estimate takes
into account smaller timber than was
measured in the last and every tree large
enough to make a scantling is now includ-
ed. That is the explanation of the level
maintained y, the supply as shown by
estimates many years apart. Mr. Walk
er's estimate Tor the northwestern states
includes. in fact is necessarily almost ex-
clusively made up Of, trees which esti
majors Of thirty years ago considered
worthless. His date for the end may
have to be set back q few years, but not
a great many.'-Week' S Progress.

Some Points About
The Girl of the Season.

Ihe girl Of the coming season will be
tai, and to accomplish this she will take
the lengthening exercises. She will stand
perfectly erect, with her hands over her
mead ga, ;, and her shoulders squared. She
Will lie down and swing her arms over
her head. She will lift both her hands
standing on tiiptoe meanwhile and will
DO everything IN her power to straighten
her spine, her neck and her shoulders
and SO make herself seem taller than she
really is, besides actually lengthening har
frame.
Standing erect is almost a lost art. or
was until the girl of today began to pre-
pare herself to be perfect Now. the
young woman who has learned the trick
can stand perfectly straight and hold
her head up at the same time and her
chin out. 1t is q distinct art
The correct chin is lifted high. it is a
well-poised chin, it is carried out and for
ward and is tilted in a bewitching way.
They say that the mere fitting of the
chin will change an ugly woman into
pretty one and that the woman who has
always held her chin down can work
a complete transformation in herself by
lifting 1t an inch or so. To do this do
not strain the muscles of the throat and
neck, but merely throw the head back
little, as though one were going to look
at something on a level with the top Of
ones head
The dropping head is not pretty
thing and the head that is held high is
proverbially attractive. 1t is good exer-
else to practice looking at objects that
are on a level with the eyes, at the same
time looking at them in level way. Do
not look down and do not look up, but
look straight ahead.
The girl Of 1904 will have a charming
expression. Her vivacity will not be
feigned, but real; it will not be assumed
or done to order, but will be of the sort
that is new and fresh every hour, the
smile that cannot come off, because
physical culture has Implanted it in the
countenance.

BATTLE WITH HUGE PORPOISE.
Big Fish Caught in Gill Net Off Sea
Isle City, N. 7.

John Backman, fisherman, and
Frank Clark, member of the Sea Isle
City lifesaving crew, had fight with a
monster fish about a mile out at sea
which they will not soon forget. The
huge porpOise became entangled in a gill
net belonging to Backman, and the two
men, securing gun and an axe, boarded
their naphtha launch and decided to
capture the fish,
When they were within short dis
lance of the net the porpoise made fran
tic efforts to escape. It's tail was fast,
but nearly all Of it's body was free. Clark
fired several heavy charges of shot into
the fish's head, which caused it to turn
upon the boatmen. Time and again it
leaped high out of the water, and several
times barely missed landing in the small
boat.
Clark finally managed to shoot into
the eyes Of the fish, binding it, The axe
was then brought into play, and after re-
peated blows it was killed. The struggle
lasted over an hour. When the porpoise
was landed it was found to measure s
feet and to weigh 500 pounds.

Never Let Him Know.

Here are some more suggestions. from
an exchange, advising an impossible wom-
on on the management of a probable hus-
band:
When you marry him, love him.
After you marry him, study him.
If he is honest, honor him.
If he is generous, appreciate him.
When he is sad, cheer him.
When he is cross, amuse him.
When he is talkative, listen to HIM.
When he is quarrelsome, ignore him.
If he is slothful, spur him.
If he is noble. praise him.
If he is confidential, encourage him.
If he is secretive, trust him.
Ii he is jealous, cure him.
If he cares naught for pleasure, coax
hum.
If he favors society, accompany him.
If he does you a favor, thank him.
When he deserves it, kiss him.
Let him think how well you understand
him; but never let him know that you
manage him.
