How TO AVOID WRINKLES AND NEVER TO GROW
UGLY-I saw the lady OF the house and much as
liked master, | don't know but like mistress
more. Such dear, kind hearted creature and so
good-ooking; one of the sort that would never
ook old, grow ugly, even if she lived to the age
of Melhusenh. And her fondness for her old man
is quite delightful. None of your my dearing"
or "my loving" nonsense, anxiety about every
thing he likes to eat and drink disagreeing with
him; but goo6 downright, honest, hearty affection,
which was beautifully displayed IN the happy smile
with which she regarded the old fellow, and wit
messed how truly he seemed to be enjoying himself.
That's what | would recommend all wives to do,
VINO wish to preserve their good looks. Woman's
beauty depends much upon expression, that if
that be spoiled, farewell to all her charms and
which nothing tends more to bring about than a
countenance soured with imaginary cares, instead
oi beng lighted up with thankluness for innumer-
able blessings. That's what nukes half the wo.
men wlther away into wrinkles so early in life,
willis. nothng renders beauty so lasting that
placid look of pure benevoence which emlnates
from the heart full Of thankfuness to God affec-
ton for those nearest and dearest to him. and good
will towards all mankind Biack,vooFs Magazine.

DURABILITY OF TIMBER IN A WET
State

VI tne uurdOllltY OF tllnOer III a wet state, the
piles Of the bridge built by the Emperor Traan
across the Danube, are one example. One of
these piles was taken up and found to be petrfed
to the depth Of three quarters of an inch but the
rest Of the wood was little different from its ordna-
ry state, though it has been driven more than six
teen centuries.
The piles under the London bridge have been
driven about 600 years, and from Mr.. Bann's OBJ
servauns in Tag, 1t did not appear that they were
materially decnyed. In 1910 they were sufficient
ly sound TO support the massive supersructure
they are chiefly OF Elm.
In digging away the foundation of the Old Sa-
Voy ralace, London, which was built $50 years
ago, the whole OF the piles consisting of oak elm,
beach, and chestnut were found in state of perfect
soundness as also was the plankiug which covered
the pile head.
This paragraph is taken from an English paper.
The cedar swamps of Cape Mary afford even more
remarkable proofs Of the durability Of timber In a
wet state.
On the North side of Maurice River Creek,
the meadows aud Cedar Swamps as far up as the
fast land, are filled with buried cedars TO an un-
inown depth. In 1914 or Is an attempt was made

1t is a constant business near Dennis Creek TO
mine cedar shingles" This is done by probing

ose OF discovering buried cedar timber; and when

in which they grew. while the trunks of very aged

VALUE OF Coz MEAL II has been tho or;,io,,
oil most farmers, that corn cobs were of lille ~ No
value, md they have generally thrown them ssde
as OF no use except for manure. The experience
OF some who have formerly fed corn and meal. and
the anticipated scarcity Of hay, have led nearly ali
OF our corn growers to turn their cobs into food for
Their stock. To show something of the extent TO
which it has been used here, the following will oiyo
you some data to judge from. Ono mill in This
town has, within the last three months. ground
more Than 5000 bushels Of cobs besides a large
quantity OF corn in the ear. This fact, think.
proves quite conclusyely that cob meal is valuable
as an article OF food for stock Indeed the opiu,on
whIch Is expressed by those who have used it. is
altogether IN lis favour When they get out their
corn, II Is not threshed entirely clean some thres
TO hlteen bushels are left on the cobs. They are
Kept clean as possible TIL ground into meal. Cat
tie, horses, sheep, and hogs eat readily without
adding any other grain. When led 10 cattle in
addition to hay, marked difference IN their condi.
tlon and appearance is seen from those fed on hay
without the meal. Some feeders mix il with other
graln roots, &c, with mar ed profit and success
When fed with oil-cake it is found to answer an
excellent purpose, and it takes up all oil without
waste.-.Hbdny CUitiuatOf.
