character Of his projects. Twenty
years ago he toiled with bare arms over
a soap caldron in a dark cellar in a
tenement district. He had just come
from Austria, spoke English with an
accent and looked the typical immi-
grant. He invented a new process for
waxing paper and out Of it made $780,
600. He embarked in business in 8
small way, but soon got up a ware
house scheme for which he had no trou-
BILE in borrowing $4,000. Then he built
a sugar refinery and sold it to the sug-
ar trust, making a cool million out of
the deal. He tried starting a match
factory, but this did not sell.
One of his most noted enterprises
was the Majestic hotel in Philadelphia,
which he fitted up on a scale Of un-
paralleled luxury. He married and
his wife was conspicuous at the opera
for her jewels and gowns and in the
parks she always drove with liveried
servants in faultless attire.

A Leading Figure In the PhiIadeI-

The career Of Adolph Segal, who has
been arrested in connection with the
wrecking of the Real Estate Trust
Company of Philadelphia, is an illustra-
ton Of the strange things that may be
done by an operator In high finance"
Segal is charged with completely In an
attempt to wreck the trust company,
the institution and the death of its
president, Frank X. Nipple, by suicide,
were due to the visionary schemes
which Segal promoted and which
when they did not succeed involved all
associated with them in ruin. District
Attorney John G. Bell of Philadelphia
on the arrest of Segal and several Off
GERS Of the trust company declared that
they had been engaged In a gigantic
conspiracy to defraud the institution
than $5,O00,O00 had been distracted
from it and embezzled for the use Of
Segal. On the discovery Of President
Nipples suicide his family found in his
oom a note in which he had scrawled:
II was fooled. Segal got the money.
Nobody to blame but myself"
Financial circles In Philadelphia are
at a loss to explain how Segal got the
influence over Nipple, a hard headed
business man, which he came to exer.
else. Nipple vas noted for his con-
servatism as a financier. Segal, so far
as he was known at all, was chiefly
noted for his nerve and the visionary

The most extraordinary forest in the

six miles in width near the west coast
of Africa. The popularity of the trees
is that, though their trunks are as

bears more than two leaves, and these
attain a length of six and a breadth of
two feet.

WOMANS ADVICE TO FARM
ERS,

Miss Edith UrIpey, an Iowa hospital
specialist, states that many of the In
mates Of eastern insane asylums are
sons and daughters of the farmer
pioneers. They have been brought up
to lives of idleness and luxury or suf-
fered from monotony of country sur
roundings. In either case the direct
cause for mental arrangement is the
lack of diversified work for body and
mind. The pioneers of the country
had no time for brooding over ima"in-
ary troubles and We're happy. But
they neglected to map out the proper
courses for their children and in
treating them with kindness have
paved the way to insanity.
The cities present numerous cases
of physical and mental wrecks of
young persons brought on by dissipa-
ton and strenuosity in the battle for
commercial supremacy. Farmers
warn their sons and daughters of the
dangers that lie in their paths when
leaving the farms. but often forget to
correct the evils at home. They give
their children all the benefits of
schools and colleges and leave out the
essential fundamental principles OF
life. Too many are left to remain in
idleness because they are taught in
