vIOLINS, CORNETS AND HAIR.

'1 cannot account on scientific grounds for the difference in the hair adornments of violinists and brass bandsmen," said Daniel Mayer, the Paris concert director, but perhaps the physical strain of blowing brass instruments, such as a cornet, may have some effect on the circulation, and therefore on the roots of the hair.
 Among the players of stringed in- struments whom l have introduced to the London public, and who all have magnificent heads of hair, are Ysaye, Wills, Burmester, Rivarde, and Mischa Elman, violinists; Gerardy, the ''cel- list, and Paderewski, Stavenhagen, Harold Bauer, and Mark Hamburg. all great pianists. Strangely enough, Stavenhagen since he left off playing and took to conducting has been los ing his hair"

UNKNOWN PHILIPPINES.
Few Know the Possibilities Hidden in
 These Numerous Islands.

These great unknown islands spell neglected opportunity; millions and millions of acres have never known even the wild mans crude blow, says Hamilton Wright in The World To- day. One may, in regions, travel for days, weeks, without seeing a native. He will pass through realms of ex- treme fertility and beauty. through vast upland meadows of rich pasture grass, growing knee high and con- cealing a soil rich and black as that of Egypt; across quiet savannahs where strange trees dot the landscape as do the mountain oaks of California Sier- ras. But for the lack of sleek cattle, one might here fancy himself iii a de- serted orchard pasture in New Eng land. Streams, clear, cold, and crystal, spring from the mountain heights and bubble through the mountain mead oWs.
 In the lowlands, jungles of wild bananas wave in the wind, their fruit uncropped; in the uplands thousands of acres of wild hemp are never strip ped; on the mountain tops the Igor rotes grow as fine long-staple cotton IS any in the world, but crudely. For each cotton plant stands alone on the cum init of hummock, which is six or eight feet from the next hummock, and surrounded by the water of rice paddy The cotton grows well enough. and an immense quantity could be grown on the idle areas, but the Igorrotes are skilled only in the raising of rice. Wild peanuts, wild camotes (sweet potatoesl. W Id oranges of many kinds and some of delicious flavor, wild lines. wild rubber and gut ta percha, thousands of products of the tropical, semi-tr Jpieal, and, in the higher attitudes, of the temperate zone, are neglected. The valuable hard woods that pass their usefulness with out being numbered and go to decay are almost everywhere. Game and fruit for the taking, cool nights sometimes very cold-and brilliant comfortable days, and a region as magically alluring as ever beckoned to the pioneers of the great plains.

GREENS AND HOW THEY
SHOULD BE USED.

Holly, mistletoe and groundpine are
usually strung around our rooms with
out the slightest regard for the indi-
vidual characteristics Of each plant,
and yet we all know that in arrang-
ing plants or flowers in any situation
the natural habit of the variety IN
question should govern it's use. There
is no other safe guide. Of course you
know that by the natural habit of a
plant / mean the fashion and manner
Of it's growth.
Holly is tree which here in Amer
lea reaches height of fifty feet. 1t
is stubby and sturdy, with rather
short branches which spread wide
apart, and it's whole appearance, in
Guiding the prickly leaves, is suggest

i've of active, hardy resistance. There
fore, it is the last plant in the world
which should be woven into set forms
such as wreaths or garlands. Leave
it free, and use it in great rough
masses. Put few branches together
into pot filed with moist sand and
let it stand on the floor or a low stool
IN the same situation that fern Or
palm would occupy. The moistened
sand will prevent it's suffering from
the dry heat of the room and will
also ballast the pot with its top
heavy spreading branches.
Mistletoe grows as parasite, pend
ent from the branches of many kinds
Of trees, and it is SO brittle that nc
attempt is ever made to distort it in
to fanciful forms. The Druids ae.d
it sacred in England, and from this
fact, as well as from the part it
plays in an old Scandinavian myth,
comes the special significance of The
mistletoe bough In Christmas revels.
The story goes there was a wicked
spirit who hated Balder, the favor
tie of the gods. Out Of a mistletoe
branch he made an arrow which he
gave to the blind god Of darkness,
Hader, to test. Hader shot it and
killed Balder, but he was restored to
life and the mistletoe given to the
Goddess Of Love for safe-keeping.
Henceforth all who pass under it re-
celve a kiss to prove that it is not
the emblem Of death, but of love.
So, Of course, it must always hang
where the jewellers pass beneath it.

is openly hung from the chandelier
with lesser clusters half hidden among
garlands of green and disposed in un-
expected places, if you want to add

festival.-New Idea Magazine.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A CHRIST.
MAS GIFT.

I am Christmas gift. In fact, !
have always been one. My age is now
nineteen, though I may look older. I
was made by the dainty hands of
Miss Susanna Skies, who at that time
was just the age I am now. Guess
her age at present? She is still Miss
Susanna, and she still owns me.
Oh, yes, Miss Susanna gave me
away Perhaps I should explain that
I am twins, being pair of knit slip
pers. Miss Susanna, it was under
stood, had benevolent designs upon
the young pastor Of her church, so
she knit me and sent me to the rev.
erend youth.
Next Christmas the preacher, who
had received five other pairs, sent me
to his sister. You see, knit slippers
are guaranteed to fit any feet as we'll
as any other feet. So the preachers
sister was not at all offended.
The next Christmas she sent me to
her old college chum, Mrs. De Brown.
who was a member Of her brothers
congregation. Next Christmas Mrs.
De B. sent me to her pastor. The
pastor grinned when he saw me again
and remarked something like "Cast
your bread upon the waters and it
will return to you after many days"
The next Christmas the pastor sent
me to his old college chum, who was
sweet on Miss Susanna. There was
every prospect of match, since Miss
Susanna had despaired Of winning the
preacher, who was known to be en-
gagged to another lady. But-the very
next Christmas the preachers college
chum sent me to Miss Susanna with a
perfumed note praising her dainty lit
tie feet This broke off the match, of
course.
Well, next Christmas Miss Susan.
ma mailed me to friend Of hers clear
across the continent. Miss Susanna
address on the corner Of the box in
which I was mailed got rubbed off en-
route, and her friend didn't know
who sent me.
So the very next Christmas I re-
turned to Miss Susanna Oh, I was
hard to lose! I was not made to
wear; I was made to circulate. I am
a good thing, and so everybody passes
me along.
Oh, so you recognize me now? Yes,
spent a year with you. Well, time
slips, and [ must be going. This is
Christmas eve, you know.-T. Sapp,
Jr., in Joliet News.

Farnsworth was recommended by a
number OF Democrats as an organizer
who can organize and who has peculiar
facilities for reaching the negro voters.
lie came here direct from conference
in tho West with James OF Kentucky,
Clayton and Hefiin OF Alabama and
other leaders, who are his sponsors.
Farnsworth admitted after the inter

leved from the Knowledge he had OF
