A PRETTY WOMAN'S ENEMY.
Some Hints On How to Remove the
Wrinkles,

A secret to take away wrinkles is to heat
an iron shovel red hot throw on it
spoonful of myrrh in powder and smoke
the face over it, covering person and
shovel with sheet to keep in the fumes.
Repeat this three times, heat the shovel
again, and pour on it two teaspoonfuls of
white wine, steaming the face with it
three times.
This rite is to be repeated night and
morning until the effect is gained. Plan
tation water is very softening to the face,
but vaseline rubbed on the skin of the
neck and face every night faithfully will
keep wrinkles at a distance for long years
after their usual appearance. 1t should
be generously applied, left for the skin to
absorb few minutes, and the excess wiped
gently off with soft cloth.
As vaseline is twenty-five cents a pound,
which lasts a year, this is the cheapest as
well as the safest general cosmetic. This
should be applied before going into the hot
sun for long walks or rides, as well as do
nestle work in heated rooms. The skin
must always be washed clean with warm
water and fine soap, and we'll dried before
using any application, and men and women
always want to go to bed with face and
neck thoroughly and freshly washed.
Sleeping with the imperceptible dust of
the day in the skin, clogging and grim
ming it, is great cause of wrinkles.
Delightful little toilet bags are just now
making their appearance, filed with bran,
grated olive soap and almonds which
pressed in water few seconds give a
creamy lather to be rubbed on the face,
neck and body, without rinsing. Those
WHO like can make their own almond meal
as follows:
Grated almonds, one pound; flour, the
same; powdered orris, one-quarter pound !;
lemon oil, one-half ounce oil of bitter al
monds, one-quarter ounce. The almond
powder for the hands is blanched and pow
dered almonds, one-half pound; grated
CASTLE soap, four ounces orris powder
one ounce finely powdered pumice-stone,
three ounces; oil bitter almonds, one
drachm.
Cocoa butter has long been used by Span
ish creole women to nourish and soften the
skin and prevent sunburn. Apple pomade
is said to whiten the skin. Oil of white
poppy seed, and of the four cold seeds,
each gill, with an ounce of spermaceti
made into pomade, is applied to ward off

On the ranch of Samuel Willetts, about
three miles from town, fine agave is in
bloom. This magnificent specimen of the
century plant is eleven years old. The
fiower-stem stands thirty-fve feet high,
and is over two feet in circumference
where it emerges from the dense mass of
thick leaves. The old story of its bloom
ing only in its centennial year is one of
the many myths, though some few plants
have been known to reach nearly that
age before maturity. The age of its flow
ering is governed by the conditions of soil
and climate, and it is an evidence of the
most favorable conditions of plant growth
to find such an immense panicle of flowers
produced in eleven years from the slip.
The earliest it has been known to bloom is
in ten years. Already this plant on Mr..
Willetts' place is whitening, and the stalk
has had to be secured to neighboring trees
with guy-ropes to prevent its falling. The
pedicels are massed with clusters of fiow-
ers the stamens of which appear long be-
fore the flower opens, and are of canary
yellow. In common phrase it is classed
with the yucca or Spanish bayonet, but
has no relation to them whatever, although
it has the habit of dying as soon as the
flower stalk is perfected. 1t belongs to the
order Amdryllidacr, and hence has no re-
lation to the great group of lilies to which
many desert flowers belong. As it may
be a century before our valley will have
another such wonder in vegetable life il
is worthy of visit of inspection. 1t vii
remain pretty for several days.-Gleadort

HARRISON AND LABOR.
His Attitude on This Question as Ex-
pressed in His Own Words,

Democratic speakers and writers of the
Cheap John variety are having good deal
to say about General Harrisnos attitude on
the labor question. What his views are
and have been are better expressed in his
own words than those of another, and
these words must convince all fair-minded
persons of his honesty and earnestness.
In a speech delivered in this city Septem-
Der l5 1886, General Harrison said:
81 believe that large majority of our
people-not themselves wageworkers-
sympathize with, and give their aid to
every reform calculated to make the bur-
dens of labor lighter and its rewards more
adequate. These, added to the vast army
of wageworkers, can and will bring on
in orderly procession those well-di-
gested reforms which experience and
study have suggested, and will yet suggest.
A contented and thrifty working class is
the surest evidence of national health and
the best pledge of public security. The
men who fought the war for the Union
were its working people. 1t was true
of the army as of the Kingdom of Heaven
not many rich. l believe that the
wages of the laborer should be given such
preference as will secure him against loss.
As long ago as 1878, in public speech,
l said upon this subject: IF any rail
road or other business enterprise
cannot earn enough to pay the labor
that operates it and the interest on its
bonds no right-minded man can hesitate
to say which ought to be paid first. The
men who have invested money in the en-
terprise, or loaned money on its securities,
ought to have a right to stop the business
when net earnings fail, but they cannot
fairly appropriate the earnings of the engi-
neer or brakeman or laborer. | believe
the law should require the prompt
payment of wages in money. |
believe that the number of work
ing hours can, in most of our industries,
be reduced without serious loss to pro-
duction, and with great gain to the health,
comfort and contentment of our working
classes. | advocated and voted for the law
of Congress prohibiting the importation of
laborers under contracts made abroad, and
belive that such legislation is Just and
wise "-Indianapolis Journal.

ORANGE PLANTING.
Seedlings Set in Grove Form and Budded
Afterwards.


Theory is all right after practice has
elucldated it, and time, that proves all
things, has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem. Probably there are more plans for
making citrus groves than the total num-
Der in the State. Slight variations from
beaten paths are to be expected, owing to
the local differences in the topography of
the land, soil and other obvious reasons.
Citrus trees are the most tenacious of
life of any tree or shrub known to the hor-
ticulturist. Whenever a serious accident
happens to an orange tree, nature steps in
ahead of all quack doctors, and makes
good the injury in the shortest possible
time, and thereafter, if judiciously fed and
cultivated will respond right royalty to in
crease the balance in bank of the fortunate
owner.
In this connection it should be borne
in mind that the vital or Vulnerable part
of an orange tree, or any other evergreen,
is its roots, and the foundation of diseased
trees can be traced to the worse than
criminal neglect in exposing them to sun
and wind when being transplanted. If
you bring mole or salamander to the sur
face, the first thing they do is to attempt
to get under ground again in the shortest
possible time, and SO would the roots of an
orange tree, if they only had the power of
volition.
But the all-ahsorbing question is: What
is the best plan for making a grove =?
Seven years ago Captain Z. A. Shaw
lately deceased) located at Orlando, and
began to make grove. After properly
preparing the land, the work Of setting
averaging one to one and one-half at the
crown were selected, with the all-im-
portant requisite of good roots and plenty
of them. He then cut back his newly
set trees to about eighteen inches in hight,
not even leaving limb or leaf upon
them. Persons passing his grounds would
often remark, THAT man is going to set
out a grove. See, he has the stakes set"
In short time the work of nature COM
menced to repair the injury done by cut
ting back the trees, by forcing a profuse
growth of sprouts from the ground to the
top of each "stub" Within two months
| from the setting out they We're budded to
choice varieties, and when the buds had
reached length of three feet they were
pinched" to cause the new wood to
harden. At this stage of growth the water
sprouts were gradually cut off until the
bud only was left.
| Now comes the secret of success. Feed
and cultivate judiciously, if you desire 8
fine and valuable property to come int
your possession in a shorter time than b,
any other plan that has proved itself. Cap
tain Shaw gathered paying crops of frui
from his grove from and after the thirt
year from setting out, and the two las
crops have been large. The people o
Florida, and especially orange growers
should hold Captain Shaw's memory i,
grateful esteem for solving this great prch

Nations and Individuals.

In his article on "Tariff and Labor" in
the September american Magazine, Gov
ernor Foraker says: "If two rival manu-
facturers are situated opposite each other
on the same street, in the same city, and
one can command labor at so cents per
day and the other at not less than 81 per
day, it will be an easy matter, if they
must sell in the same market, for the man
who commands the cheaper labor to drive
the other to the wall. 1t is the same
when nations are situated on opposite
sides of the ocean. 1t is the same, to be
more specific, with the United States and
England. Modern facilities for transpor.
tation are such that the markets of tn,
world are practically as accessible to tn,
one as to the other. England was a grea
