thorough chronological study OF Mr..

This bust shows with perfect fidelity all the
pecnliarities Of Mr.. Rockefeller's skull. all It's
bumps and depressions, all the external fea-
lures and dimensions Of his head that can.
through the principles OF phrenoogy, explain
the workings OF its remarkable interior. To
examine this bust is instructive as examin-
ing Mr.. RoCkefelcr's own head, and much
more practical.
IL the first place, the bust proves that Mr..
Rockefeller's head Is considerably above the
average in size. The circumference OF the
head measures twenty-five inches with an or
binary tape-measure, while the height and
length are in proportion. Some OF the other
measurements are as follows: The length OF
the ear is 3ls inches; the length OF the nose is
rs inches; the height of the forehead from
the root OF the nose to where the hair joins the
forehead. ia inches the breadth of the fore
head NJ the base is sig inches: the width OF the
upper part OF the forehead is y inches: the
width of the chest is eighteen inches
Mr.. Rockefeler's is combination OF
me Roman and Grecian types. 1t reminds me
strongly OF tho nose OF Fred rick the Great
among other historical Characters Frederick
showed a similar capacity 70 amass property
that Mr.. Rockefeller does, although lie did not
nave the same gift for accommodating money
The Rockefeller nose bespeaks disposition to
accumulate property OF all kinds. disposition

lures OF his makeup. When l studied these
features ] was able TO understand why Mr..
Rockefeller had been able to accumulate a for.
tune Of s1,G00.000, 900, and also why he had so
skilfuNy fought being taxed upon that fortune
in Ohio
The lower portion OF the nose indicates a
cogitatve type of mind that can think and plan
out many new fields OF work 1t explains why
Mr.. Rockefeller able TO see the possibili-
business at hp-
eble men had not thought OF it. 1t Is not the
thin intellectual nose which we see in the
faces OF those who only philosophers and
writers, but IL has breadth and power, indcat-

longevity.
His mouth is large and the lima somewhat
Aattened and thin in appearance. The lips in
dicate capacity for organization. refinement
considerable reserve, great tenacity and
strength of mind, rather than sociabillty or
candor We can from them that the sub
jects words would be brief and very much 20
the point. These peculiarities would suggest
that in his early career Mr.. Rockefeller usually
crushed his competitors before he talked about
doing it,
His jaw Is noticeably long from the ear to
the center line of the face. This characters-
tic denotes will power, determination and ten
acy In q very high degree.
The chin Is square and measures four and
one-half Inches across. In addition to the will
power shown by this and other features the
chin especially denotes capacity for endurance.

OF seventy-fve Is able to play such good
game of golf. He has throughout his life been
able to perform feats OF physical endurance

length OF the ear Is three and one-eighth inches
while the width is one and three-quarter inches.
The helix and antihelix, or the outer and inner
rims. thin and transparent The high upper
lobe Is indicative OF keen intellectual shrewd-
ness, while the lower lobe suggests long life
and enduring powers
The breadth Of the central portion is not as
great as we usually find in persons who have
perfect digestion. 1t suggests that Mr. Roche
Teller Is not naturally endowed with perfect
health. but by his will power, determination
and intelligence. has been able to maintain
fair degree Of health and live to an advanced
age. Some years ago. through overwork In his
business, he suffered a severe nervous break
down. and one consequence of it lost all his
hair. Since then. by simplicity OF life and taxi
ing great care Of himself he has regained good
health.
The predominance OF the mental and motive
rather than the physical temperament is shown
by the large brain, the long and square face
and the lack OF funess In the center of the
cheeks. Here is a man who would never accu-

The head suggests strong love for the beau
tiful In nature rather than for expensive works
OF art This would explain why the largest
personal expenditures made by Mr.. Rockefeller
in recent years have been on his remarkaUie
gardens at Pocantco Hills.
His expenditures human art have always
been very modest Ii Is stated that he en-
ployed gifted young sculptor at his country
place, but caused great pain to the artistic
tcmpera ment by requiring the artist to do q
regular days work OF not less than eight
hours.
The only form OF art foc which he shows
a strong inclination is music. Mr.. Rockefeller
is in fact fond of the violin we'll as other
instruments.
Distinct lines of hospitality found on
each side OF the face running down from the
side of the to the lips, but they would never
lead him to excuses in this direction. They
give him a consciousness of the needs Of peo-

he possesses, are conspicuous features OF the

His features are very sharply defined, which

Good Home.
OF Lon F. Brooks in the
II enry Addition De-
stroyed by Fire-New
and Ore of Best in Town

Last Monday at 2 O'Clock p
m, the fire whistle at the power
house told the people that some
body's house was burning. and
soon the word went round that il
was the handsome home Of Lon
ME Brooks in the Henry addi.
tion on the North side of town.
The Firefghters responded with
alacrity and were soon on the
scene, but they were delayed in
their operation by the fact that
the plug nearest the fire was out
of commission from some cause,
which necessitated going to
Huntingdon street with the hose
for water. However, the fire
had gained such headway that it
is doubtful if the house could
have been saved at best, as the
place is a considerable run from
the public square.
None of the Brooks family
were at home, hut had eaten
dinner there and had not been
long away. The supposition is
that the fire caught from an un
known defect in the 1ue. The
loss on the house, which was
worth perhaps $500 or more, is
said to be covered by insurance
to the extent of $1,000 on both
house ane furnishings, but in the
finality Mr.. Brooks will lose
something like ST. 800, as practi.
cally nothing was saved. ri

Collections Better.

A good indication that condi-
tions in the cotton growing states
are improving is noted by local
jobbers and manufactures from
the fact. that collections from
that part of the south show a de-
cided improvement, several
houses reporting substantial re
mittances from customers who
heretofore had been unable to
make any payments whatever.
Aud these pay ments are being
made in cash, which speaks vol.

A whole lot depends on a

nent jobber. They got it in
their heads that the country was
going to the dogs, that there
wasn't any money in the coun-
try, and that when they parted

there never would be any more
