HAIR CUT BY RAZOR STYLISH

thin long, strong hair in a manner
quite impossible with scissors. The
beauty OF the practise-when properly

where the long hair ends and the
short begins.
Usually only the sides of his head
are treated with razor. Holding a
comb in the hair and the edge of a
razor just below it, you delicateiy
shave down On the hair, gradually yet
surely thinning it with perfect uni
formity
For people who wear their hair
long and thick, yet do not wish it to
appear in the least untidy. the method
cannot be surpassed.
THE Partisan wears his hair more
loosely than the Englishman; he likes
it to stand away from the crown of
his head in a distinctive fashion
These various forms of couture are
almost invariably due to skillful use
of tho razor"

from state. county, and municipal of.

1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion of New York about
$4,000 in arousing the people to tho
dangers Of tuberculosis. AS a direct
result of the public sentiment pro
duced by this outlay, the state, com

ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work s1,500,000 and appropriations for
hundreds Of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa-

Happiness comes to US all, or to
nearly all of US, in fragments. No
body can arrange for a whole month s
,happines in advance. We may have
happier moments in the II months
than in the one. They may come at
jolly dinner party, in the exchange
OF condolences with friend, in a
good right and left" when shooting,
in clean smite to square-leg, in a
couplet of verse or single page of a
book or the sight of well fitting sail
close hauled But promised Joys are
the most elusive. He who would sit
down to enjoy the sunset, to hear the
wind sing in the grass or surge beau
tifully through trees, TO listen to the
song of birds Or the cries of sea fowl
in a marsh or the note of church bells
rising from valley-he who would
do these things to reach happiness
will find certainly If he be alone)
that his mood turns to melancholy.

edged with wide lace and fastened at
the side Of the leg with ribbons or

Auto Anbuiances for Insane.

New York.-The first automobile
ambulance ever built for the exclusive
handling of insane patients is shortly
to be put in service at Bellevue hos
pital The psychopathic ward at
Bellevue receives most of the cases of
suspected insanity from all parts OF
the city.
Heretofore insane patients were
brought to Bellevue in patrol wagons
by the police. Now the police will
have nothing to do with the handling
of such cases. Two trained nurses
will go out on calls with the ambu-
lance. This is expected to result in
more humane and more intelligent
handling Of patients.
This new service will cost the city
about $4,000 year.

When the purposes of the trust could
be served best by the annexation of
Cuba he declared revolution would
be started in that island. The free
admission of 100000 tons OF Phil
ippine sugar he insisted was but a
move to help swell the Golfers of the
sugar monopoly.
Coming down to the building of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery in
Philadelphia in 1908 by Adolph Sc
gal he showed how that concern, Gre
ated to be sold to the sugar trust, had
by process of lending money for its
completion drifted into the control of
the trust. Being sued by the Pennsyl
vania Sugar Refining Co., he said, 1t
became necessary for the trust to
engage addition counsel, and they
turned to the firm of Strong and
Cadwalader, "one of those important
New York City legal firms to which
great corporations appeal for aid
when they propose to violate the laws
of the land or when they have violat-
ed the laws of the land"
