A Wrinkle on Wrinkles.

1t is customary to say that wrinkles
come from worrying, but the truth is
that most Of them come from laughing.
To know how to laugh is just as impor-
tant as to know when to do it III you
laugh with the sides of your face the
skin win work loose in time and wrink-
les win form in exact accordance with
what kind of laugh you have. The man
who always wears a smirk viii have a.
series of semi-circular wrinkles cover,
ing his cheeks. When gambler, who
has been accustomed to suppressing his
feelings, laughs, deep lire forms on
each side of his nose, and runs TO to the
upper corner of his mouth. In time
this line extends to his chin and as
sumes the shape of a half moon A;
cadaverous. person with wax-like skin,
is very apt to have two broadly-mark-
ed wrinkles, one running up from the
jaw and the other under the eye. These
meet at right angles at the cheek-bonei
and look as though they formed a knot
at the apex. The scholars wrinkles
form on his brow, while the scheming.

they look for all the world like the

rominent dairymen claim that by

iaet that salt promotes thirst and causes
me COW TO drink more water. II q
chained that cows drinking less than
tTenty-seyen quarts Of water daily are

ments, however, do not determine the

shows that milk may be watered through

Writing OF the poisoning of water by
lead pipes Alfred II. Allen. president of
the English Society OF Public Analysis,
says: THE proportion of lead which is
generally considered TO render water
seriously Objectionable is one-twentieth
Of grain per gallon. 1t must not be
supposed, however, that there is any
danger in drinking glass of water con-
tanning such minute proportion Of
lead. It is not the single dose or a
dozen doses which will produce any ill
effects, but the constant use of such
contaminated water. Lead is n cumu-
lative poison, and each successive dose
becomes stored up in certain organs OF
the body until the poisonous effects en-
sue. Further, IL must not be supposed
that every one is equally susceptible 10
the effects OF lead, there being great
difference in this respect. Hot water
acts much mora vigorously on lead pipe
than cold"

SAN FRANcIsco, July 29.-Theodore
Cramp, member of a Philadelphia ship
building firm, left here this afternoon
for Tacoma, where nc will embark for
Alaska. On his return trip Mr.. Cramp
will visit the British naval station at

ported here that Mr. Cramp is forming a

stated that syndicate has already been
formed in the east with "a subsidized
capital of $4,000, 900, and that negotia-
tions are pending for the purchase of

prominent ship building firms, includ-
ing Cramp q Sons, Philadelphia; Har-
lon & Hollingsworth, and Pussey &
Jones, Wilmington, and the Union iron

RosAIIA, July 2s, correspondence
Rosalia has fire bell, but it is hoped
it will never be required, as it never has
been previously, as Rosalia has not yet
been visited by a fire.
Mr. Fisk the popular lawyer of Che
ney, visited Rosalia, and was unfortun-
ate enough to walk out of the parlor
door upstairs in the Tolton house, sup
posing that there was u portico OF stoop
in front, and consequently got bad fail
from the second story, but no bones
were broken and at last account he was
progressing favorably.
Sheriff Mclean called here on Thurs
day on his way to Spokane Falls.
H. Coolidge of Colfax and Rev. Mr.
Smith of Endicot passed through Ro-
salia on their way home from rusticat-
ing trip to Cuur d Alene and Colville.
Several farmers have abandoned their
crops in the vicinity of Pomeroy, and
two of those unfortunate farmers stopped
at Rosalia, having left 600 acres of crop,
thinking IL not worth harvesting. They
were not one bit discouraged but were
ON their way to Spokane Falls to get
employment with their teams. This is
certainly very trying, but if people keep
up heart and use proper economy the
country will come out all right, as this
Is no worse than has befallen the best
country in the world at some time in
their history.

ent place of meeting, is quite distance
from the center of town.
Harvesting will be quite general this
week, and then comes threshing, which
will decide the yield of the crops; as at
present there is quite variety of
opinions on the quality and yield.
A very large percentage of grain has
been cut for hay, and it looks as if there
would be no scarcity of hay this year.
Miss West, our new postmistress, has
her art gallery in running order.
Bradner brothers have about twenty.
five acres of white beans, which prom
ises a good yield and may yet become a
leading crop.
John Slots, on Thorn creek, has a
nice winery set out and it is in full bear
ing, and Nj. Sheda, a native of Lorraine
France right in the heart of Vineland,
says he never saw larger or finer grapes
in either France or California.
Corn is also looking we'll, and the day
is not very far distant when farmers will
not be obliged to depend wholly on
wheat, and should repetition of this
years short crop occur II would not be so
serious, as the crop would be diversified
so that If one failed it would be all right
for the balance.

BOISE CITY, July 29,-The Idaho con-

twenty-sixth day. After the substitu-
ton of Reid for Howe on the committee
on schedule, giving that committee a
democratic majority, Ainlers' resolution
relating TO the first state election and
choice of senators was referred to that
committee and storm apparently aris-

The convention spent the remainder
of the morning in committee of the

no changes but not completing the
chapter.
Al the afternoon session the chapter
on the legislative department was put on
its third reading and passed: The irri,,

skinner, the agent, took his dcpar-

Navigation Company between Farming
ton and Spokane Falls. Mr.. Skinner
stated before leaving last night that
chances were greatly in favor of Tekoa
being one of those points. He found the
grain in this section better than in any
other he had visited.
Wheat buyers are opening their eyes,
and are beginning TO see Tekoa's super

country has better connections with

building from this point into the Coeur d

opening up for the Palouse country an
immense market in the mines, to which
Tekoa is the nearest point In sixty
days the Spokane branch from this
point will be operating into that
city, thus. giving US not only a Spo-
kane market, which is no mean item,
but direct connection with the sound

reached in thirty-six hours.
1t Is mystery 70 us why these things
