is 1.-THE best part Of beauty" The play OF
thought, will and feeling on the face
OF noble thoughts, firm self-controls,
and pure, unseliish, gentle feelings
we can ourselves secure, if so we will.
Ten years of habit, three years, or only
one, will affect expression much. Some
one has said that "eyery face ought to
be beautiful at forty" and another,
that mo old person has a right TO be
ugly, because he has had all his life to
grow beautiful" That is TO say, life's
opportunities OF uObleness, or even
forty years of opportunity, if we'll
used. are enough TO make so much

thoughts kindle inwardly - these
things no parent makes inevitably
ours, and no itful week or two of
goodness gives them, and no schooling
OF the yisage either, but only habitual
nobleness and graciousness within; and
this will give them all.
Splendor from within! 1t is the only
thing which makes the real ana last

and you will by aud by seem so. Carve
the face from within, not dress it from
without. Within lies the robing-

whatsoever would be fairer, illumina-

catches the glow only from that side.

How It Feels to Be Eaten.

Sir Lyon Playfair recently related
that he knew three men who escaped
with their lives after being partially de-
voured by wild beasts. The first was
Livingstone the great African trav-
eler, who was knocked on his back by
lion, which began to MUNICH his arm.
He asserted that he felt no fear or
pain, and that his only feeling was one
of intense curiosity as TO which part of
his body the lion would take next.
The next was Rustem Pasha, now
Turkish Ambassador in London. A
bear attacked him and tore off part
of his hand and part OF his arm and
shoulder. He also said that he had
neither a sense OF pain nor Of fear, but
that he felt excessively angry because
the bear grunted with so much salts
faction in munching him. The third
case is that of Sir Edward Bradford,
an Indian officer now occupying a high
position in the Indian Office. He was
seized in solitary place by a tiger,
which held him firmly behind his
shoulders with one paw and then de-
liberately devoured the whole of his
arm, beginning ut the end and ending
at the shoulder. He was very positive
that he had no sensation Of fear. and
thinks that he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
is certain that he felt none during the
munChing of his arm Manchester

If Michigan wants capital pun
ishment law-and the many atrocious
murders of the past few years have
certainly turned public sentiment in
that direction the Abbott bill,
which the house has passed in com
mittee Of the whole, seems to meet
that demand. The objection that a
great many people urge against the
execution of criminals is that an in
nocent man may suffer the extreme
penalty, beyond which there can be
no resource or remedy, as in the case
of after discovered evidence. The
peril of this is called freshly to mind
by the remarkable case of William
Rogers, who suffered a long term of
imprisonment for crime he never
committed. But in the Abbott bill
such safeguards are applied as to re-
duce this danger to minimum. In
the first place a mere conviction OF
murder in the first degree is not nee
essarily punished by death. The
jury must in writing recommend the
death penalty to the residing Judge,
and he may exercise his own discre-
ton in following it. 1t will be seen
that there is little danger that any

Dangers of Cum Chewing.

The gum chewing habit is strongly
attacked by Detroit physician, DIR.
Ellis who says in a letter to the Mon.
treal News that it is a pernicious
habit and should be prohibited by
parents aud teachers. The undue ex.
ercise of the jaws tends to their
eyerdevelopment, like that which oc-
cur to the blacksmith arm, and pro-
duceS real deformitY. Gum chew

the expectation of receiving food ,and
If not present, the saliva acts injur-

stomach. 1t has been found in cases
of sudden death, the stomach has
been attacked and holes eaten through
it by the gastric juice. Digestion of

The Pavement Of the Future.

The best of all pavemepts, as has Deen
shown by experience In our own and
foreign cities, is made Of asphalt. When
asphalt pavements first came into use in
this country they were largely made
with coal tar, and proved detective In
many ways; afterward the methods and
materials used In the Old World were
imported and gave excellent results.
The result Of the experience Of
the last ten years has clearly shown that
the pavement made with the Trinidad
asphalt is equal to any In the world and
superior TO any other kind of pavement in
use. Its excellencies, cleanliness, silence
and salubrity are so apparent that no ar
gument is now needed to enforce them,
and to these may be added, and placed
first on the list, economy; for it costs as
little and lasts as long as any other good
pavement, and Ii much less trying to
horses, vehicles and human nerves. It
israpidly growing in favor, and it is not
too much to say that 1t Is the pavement
OF the future, and Is destined ia most
localities 20 supersede all other kinds
