Mr. Levi is a kind-hearted, con-
scientious man, an example of what
Maeterlinck calls "our anxious moral
ity." But he is also German, and
spends the pennies hard. He has a
hired man who says, "Mr. Levi s
queer; he wants me to work all the
time he has me hired for" Mr. Levi
also has young horse that balks. IF
you would just let me take whip
to him once" the hired man expostu-
lated, exasperated and yet dominated
by the others point of view. Mr.
Levi looked at him uneasily; stood
first on one foot, and then on the
other Amt there nothin else you
could be doin'?" he asked, till he gets
ready to start?"

Why He Changed His Mind.

John L. Sullivan met with some
amusing incidents while giving boxing
lessons.
One day a husky young man came to
him as a pupil. He took his boxing
lesson and went home somewhat the
worse for wear.
When he came for his second lesson
he said: 'Mr. Sullivan, it was my
idea to learn enough about boxing
from you to give certain young gen.
tleman a good licking. I've had it in
for him a good while But I've changed
my mind. If you have no objections
I'll send this young man down here
to you to take the rest of my lessons
for me."-Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele-

BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
Much Choice Is Possible, and Wo-
man May Use Any Particular Per-
fume Which She May Prefer.

The commonest form of the bath
as beautifier is the bran bath. This
particular bath has the advantage of
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into neat little square sack of
cheesecloth covering, and dropped into
the bath when the water is run in.
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but If warm water Is poured
on it a creamy mass is formed, which
will render the skin delightfully."- soft.
For those who wish to be little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks of bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs, accord
ing to taste, such as violets, orris root
and sunflower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and
is is claimed that it has no rival in
identifying the skin. One we'll known
beauty in Paris is understood to use
milk for her bath always, and the skin
of her throat and shoulders is as
creamy a white as the liquid she is
supposed to battle them with. OF
course, one would not actually get
right into milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on
wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any sickness, it is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath.
1t Is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet, and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
a week
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust, but in climate such as ours
it cannot be recommended except in
the hot months, unless the bather is
very strong. Those who are unfor.
tunate enough to possess very irrita-
BILE skins will do well to eschew sea
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, which
not only softens the water, but Is inval.
liable for cleaning the skin. 1t Is nee.
essary, however, to exercise caution
in the use of these two articles, for an
overdose in the bath, instead of max.
ing the skin soft and supple, will
harden it and make it much too dry

Dark Furs Becoming.

It seems odd that so few should
realize that dark furs are much more
becoming than light, that is, to the
average woman. Sable, mink, black
fox, make her complexion look at it's
very best, whereas ermine, white fox,
miniver and squirrel have exactly the
contrary effect.
The newest way of wearing the
stole is to put the middle of it on in
front, pass the ends over the shout
ders, crossing them at the back and
bringing them forward under the
arms. Even fur capes with their
rounded or pointed back are worn
in this fashion, certainly very warm
and comfortable, though slightly un
orthodox.

SAYS RAILROADS
Are NOT OVERPAID
Ralph Peters, Chairman of
Committee on Mail Pay,
Quotes Statistics.

rslph Peters. president of the Long
leland Railroad Company and chairman
Of the committee OH railway mail pay, re-
ferring yesterday to statements that the
postofice Committee of the House OF Rep
,esentatives Is considering the govern
r,ent ownership Of railway postoffice GAYS
instead of paving rental to the roads for
their use, SAID:
THE government pays the railroads
,tSso0oO as annual rental for 1853 cars,
or about $500 a car. The steel postar car,
with which all railroads must be equipped
nv 1915. costs about $1,000.
Postal car pay, which is about 10 per
cent of the total amount paid the rail
roads for transporting the mails, is a
supplementary rate Of pay to make up
for the fact that postal cars sixty feet or
seventy feet in length do not carry suffi-
ci,nt mail TO reimburse the railroad COM
many merely for the weight of mail car
ried About 70 per cert of the space In
these postal cars is occupied by pigeon
hole cases and sorting racks for the sepa-
ration OF mail en- route.
Postal cars do not carry all mail over
the railroads. for the railways also supply
APARTMENTS in combination baggage cars.
The government, however, pays absolutely
nothing for the distributing space used In
such compartments, unless they are or
forty feet or more in length. The weight
Of mail carried In such compartments is
very small. and, therefore. the major SER
vice performed by the railroads is In
Tho nRRTe-
gate space now carried in this manner In
400 such cars amounts 10 1855 linear
feet. equal to the length OF ,54S fun sixty
foot postal cars. Yet for this distributing
space in compartment cars the govern
rreut makes no payment. except for the
small amount OF dead weight OF mail car
ried IN II.
.oThe payment for postoffce cars, includ-
inr the paw for weight carried Is about 10
cents for each mile sixty-foot car runs
whereas all other service on passenger
trains paws an average Of 2e cents for each
rr,,, a car is operated IL the supple
mentary pay for the full postal cars were
eliminated the railroads would only re-
cefve about II cents mile for carrying
the weight of mail, as compared with 70
cents from other passenger service.
THE cost of maintaining and operating
a moving postoffice, with its light, heat
fixtures carrying the necessary CLERKS
and assuming all risks attendant thereto
constitutes an annual sum fairly 10 De
compared with the original cost OF car
n the cars were 10 be used merely Tor
storage ON side tracks the rental might be
reduced, but the payment is. in fact Tor
maintaining and hauling these cars al
average of 10000 miles a year.
81 have no con ment to make upon the
suggestion that the government shouiu
own it's own railway postoffice cars oul
such a plan cannot be favored fairy upo"
any plea. that the railroads are now over
paid for this portion of the mail service,
In fact the railroad officers of the United
states feel that the companies are TO-DAY
unpaid by at least sl5.oooOco for their ser
vice in carrying the mails.
