ONE MANS CURIOUS FAD.
Luther M. Summers, West Side Con- tractor, Collects Election Ballots.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Some new fad is always being discov- cred, something besides the mania for collecting postage stamps, tobacco tags or vases The speciality of Luther M. Summers of 1Sli Wyoming avenue, West Side, is collecting sample ballots
 MT. Summers was Q Union soldier dur ing the civil war. lie served first as a member of Company D, ThirtY-ninth ln- diana regiment and then of Company D. One Hundred and Eifty-fifth Indiana vol unteers. After the war he became To- comotive engineer. His eyesight failed him eighteen years ago and then he be- came contractor.
 When MT Summers voted for Abraham Lincoln at Green Town, Ind, in the fall of 1860. he kept the sample ballot. He has voted at each presidential election from Lincoln to Roosevelt, and each time he has saved the sample ballot, as well as many from the state and city elections The collection fills q large pine box.
 These ballots were about all that MT Summers saved out of his house when the flood of 1903 came. His furniture and other household goods were ruined by the water
 "Why have you taken the trouble to keep these ballots?Y MT. Summers was asked.
 My wife has wanted to know that a great many times" he replied. "I had no intention of making q fad out of it when I first commenced After l began saving them I just kept 1t up; l don't know why

 The list of the worlds rarest autographs is headed with the name of Shapespeare, who is simply classed among the impos- abilities. If a letter of his were produced today and could be shown to be genuine 1t would easily bring $100,000.
 The autographs of Milton, Goldsmith, Locke and Matthew Prior are extremely rare, and Molieres bring thousands of dollars. Other great raritles are those of Titan, Leonardo da Vinci. Raphael, Gal ileo, George Stephenson, the inventor and Sir John Moore. the English general
 Musical letters of Beethoven sell at from $40 to $50. Wagner sells for about S25, and Bach. Handel and Mozart are very rare and command high prices. Mu- sical manuscripts bring prices ranging from s5U to s250.
 Of Columbus autographs there are but twenty-nine; his descendants are the only private possessors.
 Of the rare signatures, that of Thomas Lynch, Jr., Is an interesting example. says a writer in the Circle. His father. Thomas Lynch, was delegate from South Carolina to the Continental congress and Thomas, Jr., was his fathers alternate.

LOCATION OF THE SOUL.
Philosophers Ransack the World Thor oughIy, But Spirit Is Still Missing.

From the Philadelphia North American
 Members of the American Philosophical society yesterday spent the morning in a search for the location of the soul
 The world and history were ransacked, philosophers of other ages were dug up and conned over, authorities on the soul, from Dr. DcDougall of Haverhill, who recently weighed the soul. to the learned men of Greece and to Confucus, were referred to. But the scientific searchlight availed not. No explanation ever before accepted satisfied the soul seekers, and when the session adjourned the seat of the human consciousness was still lost
 Of all the theories advanced, that of the ancient Babylonians was the cause of greatest interest. When Professor Morris Jastrow of the University of Pennsylvania, said the inhabitants of the naughty city of early days believed the soul was located in the liver, a smile went around among his hearers. The thought was ingenius and amusing, but they knew better.
 Even before Adam persons had always won6/red where the soul was. Prpfes- sor Jastrow explained. By the time the Babylonians came upon the scene it was. in a sort of indefinite way, believed to be in the liver. When the mayor of n Babylonian town or some other politician died, and his friends wished to say some thing good of him, they put on his tomb stone the Babylonic characters, meaning, He had good liver" Babylonians were deeply interested in the welfare of their flyers.
 Later the heart, being the seat of or ganic life. came to be regarded as the seat of consciousness. The Stoics be-

FROM BRAKEMAN TO MANAGER.
An Instance of New York City's Speedy
 Reward Of Ability.

From the New Broadway Magazine.
 When all has been said there is no city on earth where merit is so quickly secognized and rewarded as in New York. 4 boy enters the service of railroad corporation and at the age of 2S he is gen eral manager of a great traction system. True, he has distinguished lawyer and statesman for uncle, but he starts at the bottom, and his promotion Is due to his own exertion. Such is the career of Oren Root. H. II. Nreeland, a brake- man without pull" raises himself in short period to the presidency of the Metropolitan Railway company. Within two generations all the great spectacular fortunes of New York have been made from nothing. Reward of merit comes quickly in other fields. Charles F. Hughes a comparatively obscure lawyer, is se- lected to conduct an important investiga- tion in which the whole country Is in- terested. Without having previously held office, very nov.ce, he is made a gov ernor.
 So, with all her wantonness and ca- prices. her wayward smiles, and unac- countable frowns, no city is quite so dear to it's citizens. A bundle of contra dictions. she Is loved for her very con trariness. her ways of coquette.

The Hands.

Hands are too tender to withstand a rough brush An oatmeal bag may be thrown into the water when you wash, or a dash of almond meal. Dry with old, soft towel. Never use new. harsh towels for drying the hands. If vaseline agrees with your skin, there is nothing better than the pure white vaseline for the rub ping in after washing.
 Before washing soiled hands rub in a teaspoonful of cold cream quite thorough ly. Then wipe off with soft cloth, and wash in warm water with plenty of soap Scrub the nails and the palms with q soft scrub, rinse and dry thoroughly. A piece of smooth pumiee on the soap dish will be found great aid. A slice of lemon will remove ink spots.

Hair Tonic.

H. c. D.-Sage tea is good, but it is likely to darRen the hair. Use this tonic: Castor oil, one-half pint pure alcohol. one-half pint; tincture of cantharides, one-half ounce; oil of bergamot, two drachms
 This will prevent the dandruff and will make the hair a better color. Rub into the roots. Once you have started the blood circulating through the scalp all will be well.
 A simple hair grower and one that is often very effective Is made by combin- ing eleven ounces of eau de cologne with two ounces of pure castor oil. Part the hair with a comb and rub in the liquid with the finger ends, parting the hair over an dover again until the preparation has been distributed over the entire scalp.

Hen Went With Fox.

From Tit-Bits.
 A farmer in Cheshire, England, suspect ing from the terrible racket in his hen- coop that fox was raidlng 1t, slipped a bag over the henslide. When one of his farmhands entered the hencoop the fox sprang into the bag. Eleven fine fowl lay dead. four were badly maimed and had 10 be killed and the unharmed fowls caekled loudly.
 The farmer took the fox and the dead fowls and drove to Marbury hall to show them to the Hunt poultry fund secretary.
 When the bag was opened the fox ap- peared. hen walked out after the fox. ah egg rolled out on the floor and, of course, the farmer was puzzled. The fox in his flight from the hencoop knocked the hen into the bag where the egg was laid.

graps merely for collections had been developed.
 The first autograph album appeared in Germany in that century; 1t was called the Album Amicorum," and was an octave book, bound lengthwise. Among the Eserton manuscripts in the British Museum there is such an album dated 1854.
 The oldest obtainable letters date back about five hundred years, and the oldest documents are dated about one thou sand years ago.
 In this country the greatest demand for autographs at present comes from the west a fact probably due to the new ness of collections there as compared with those in the east.

Dear Mile. Merlyn:
 My neck is very thin and scrawny. I have tried several cold creams and mas sage treatments twice week without eff feet Can you tell me of something that will be really beneficial? ESTHER.

In the morning remove with a lather made of castillo soap and hot water. Rinse with cold water. The result will not be noticed for several weeks, but will be such that you will be de- lighted.

About corns.

J. B.-If you have soft corns the best treatment is to soak the feet in warm water in which handful of bran has been thrown Then scrape off the callous or dead skin. Do not cut, as this hardens rather than softens it. Rub the callous spot with pumice stone if 1t should be a very large hard spot. Then apply some vcJeline or cold cream, which will absorb and soften. Rub the entire foot with the cream and 1t will repay you for the rest 1t gives. If tie corn Is between the toes place a bit of picked linen which is pulled out into a fluff. This will ab- sorb all moisture. Even a little absorbent cotton will do, but 1t is more apt to be hoGting. Change the cotton or linen twice a day, for this is what keeps the corn dry and prevents the inflammation.

lieved in this theory, and 1t was not until the Greeks and Romans found that the source of emotional life was in the brain that the Stoic belief died out. In modern America many theories have come into prominence during the last generation or two but these were touched upon very lightly.
 During the ages. however, Professor Jastrow said the Bornese had cherished a strong faith in their livers. and today they adhere to a modification of the Babylonic belief.

Tho Poisonou. Black Sea.
fro BE coNTINUEp.l

The Black sea, which in some parts
has depth of more than $500 feet, is
poisoned by sulphureted hydrogen
wherever the water Is deeper than
1000 feet This accounts for the curl
Gus fact that there Is no organic life
below that depth, excepting perhaps
some bacteria Of very low order. Inn
pregnated with sulphur. The causes
for this phenomenon are explained
by the quick outflow Of the fresh wa
ter through the Bosporus. while salt
water coming from the Mediterranean
enters through deeper current into
the depths Of the Black sea. The wa
tiers on the surface are, therefore. con-
trolled absolutely by horizontal cur
rents of considerable force, and verti-
cal currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the
surface to the bottom are hardly ever
noticeable The water at great depths
Is so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the disintegration of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason of its
weight that no fish or other living be-
Ing which needs oxygen for its organic
system can exist beyond stated
danth
