What Makes Wrinkles.

The general impression about wrin-
kles is that they are caused by worry.
but the truth is that most Of them come
from laughing. To know how 10
laugh Is just as important as TO know
when TO do it. If you laugh with the
sides Of your face the skin will work
loose in time, and wrinkles will form
in exact accordance with the kind of
laugh you have. The man who al
ways wears a smirk will have a series
of scmicircular wrinkles covering his
cheeks. a gambler, who is accustomed
to suppressing his feelings, generally
has deep line running from each
side Of his nose TO the upper corner Of
his mouth, which in time extends TO
the chin, forming the shape of half
moon. a cadayerous person Is usual
ly marked with two wrinkles, one on
the jaw and the other under tho eye,
meeting at right angles at the cheek
bones. The scholars wrinkle forms
on his brow, while a sohemers
wrinkles come around his eyes, and
look like spokes of a wheel. Inter

Among tho many explanations and
legends about the BARRIERS pole is the
one that it is relic Of the time when
cupping aud bleeding and general sur
gical work were parts of his business.
1t is not generally known that several
BARRIERS even now will bleed man as
well as shave him. Ia st. Louis there
arc at least four or five knights of the
razor who also bleed and cup patrons
and even draw their teeth. Since
bleeding went out OF fashion in the
medical profession, this almost aban.
doned feature OF the BARRIERS bnsiness
has como into greater prominence
Some old fashioned people believe la
bleeding as a cure for disease and as a
specific in fever cases, and when "a sur
eeon is obstinate a surgical barber is
visited or summoned. Recently, too,
there have been more among the
younger generation who have e4 press
ed faith in bleeding. i4eeches are used
much more than they were ten years

Pierce Middlebrooks is responsible
for the following: In 1856, in a la

young terrapins. They had portioned
off the lagoon among themselves, and
each one HAD its appointed place at

Pierce became fond of them, gave
them names, and spent a portion of

that, and SO he cried out with a loud

II, while the electrical current is
flowing through a wire, O delicately
poised magnetic needle be carried
about it, the needle will tend TO place
itself at right angles to the general
direction of the wire. 1t may be easily
shown that the region about the wire
is magnetic region, commonly called
a magnetic field. In order to do this,
the wire may be made TO pass vertically
through a sheet of smooth paper which
is held in a horizontal position. If,
then, while the current is passing,
some iron filings be sprinkled over the
paper, and the latter be gently tapped, SO
as toassist the movement of the filings,
they will arrange themselves in CON
centric circles about the wire.
When the current is interrupted the
region about the wire is no longer q
magnetic field, but it may be restored
as often as the current is renewed.
This simple experimental fact lies at
the foundation of many electrical APP
pliances with which we are familiar.
The magnetic field about n single CON
Quoting wire is, however, generally
too feeble TO serve for many purposes
for which it would otherwise be use

A Sinady Hand.


When Doctor Garland, a successful
New York surgeon who recently died,
began practice, he went into an office
with an old doctor, who, of course,
was always wanted by patients. One
day man called in great haste when
the older doctor was away.
where's the doctorf / want him
at once. My boy has been badly
hurt"
THE doctor is out replied young
Garland, land VIE not be back for
two hours. But / am at your service"
You" said the man almost con-
temptuously. What can you dot This
is a case for an experienced surgeon. ="
Il will do my best" replied Gar
land, steadily. There is no time 10
lose If the accident is serious. Will
you accept my service for want of bet
teri"
The man looked at him a moment
and then said:
"Well, come on. 1 would rather
have the doctor, though. He has had
experience"
well, l shall have some if 1 cure
your boy" said Garland with a slight
smile. "You can't blame a man for
being no older than he is, can your"
When the young doctor arrived at
the house, everything was in confu-
sion. The injured boys mother was
almost in a panic, but Garland's cool
ness and self possession soon Gained
her somewhat. Then the young doctor
gave the necessary orders with sharp
distinctness and confidence; and, with
that dizziness which a man of action
in emergencies always knows how to
use, he set about the task of restoring
to consciousness the injured boy.
While he was at work, the father
walked the floor anxiously, bemoaning
almost audibly the misfortune of hay
ing an inexperienced surgeon at such
a time. He had almost resolved TO go
out to find another doctor when the
young surgeon crossed the room to a
table, and poured out into n teaspoon
some necessary medicine. He then
took the spoonful of medicine and car
ried it back TO the lounge with n per-
fectly steady hand, so that not a drop
of liquid was spilled. Instantly Il
flashed into the fathers mind, IF that
young fellow do that, he must
have his wits about him and be steady.
l believe / can trust him with the
case"
The father lost his anxiety from that
moment, assisted the doctor in all that
vas necessary, and his faith in the
young man was so great that he al
lowed Garland to conduct the case I'M
til his son had fully recovered.
The doctors success as a surgeon
dated from that case, and was owing
really to the simple fact that he once
carried n spoonful of medicine across
a room without n tremoro # the hand

Chinese Boots and Shoes.

There are a variety of boots and
shoes used in China. The common
shoe is made of thick, heavy felt, with
a still thicker sole made of woven
straw or layers of felt. This sole does
not come out to the end of the shoe,
but rounds upward at the ball of the
foot. This puts the Chinaman on a
pair of rockers, as it were, and gives
him a rolling gait. Chinese persons
of rank wear boots with thick soles
and legs of fine cloth or silk that reach
half way up to the knee. Among the
peasants rude shoes are woven Of
straw. A wonderful shoe is that worn
by a Chinese women of rank.
One of these shown at the National
museum is of silk, beautifully IN
broidered- The general shape of the
shoe is more like that of a hoof than
anything else. 1t is less than four in
ches long. The wearer of this shoe
had her feet bandaged in infancy and
the bandages were maintained and
frightened while she was growing up
in order to make her feet small. When
she was grown she was a helpless
creature, hardly able to hobble across
her room. If she wanted to go out
shopping she had to be carried in a
chair. -Washington Star.

Was there ever such q history as that
OF the cotton seed7 For seventy years
despised as n nuisance, and burned and
dumped as garbage, then discovered to
be the very food for which the soil
was hungering, and reluctantly adj
mitted to the rank of utilities, shortly
afterward found to be nutritious food
for beasts, and thereupon treated with
something like respect. Once admitted
to the circle of farm industries it was
found to hold thirty-fve gallons of
pure oil to the ton, worth in its crude
state $14 to the ton, or $40, 900, 900 for
the whole crop of seed. But then a
system was devised for refining the oil
up to a value of 81 a gallon, and the
frugal Italian placed a cask of it at the
root of every olive tree, and then de-
fled the borean breath of the Alps.
And then experience showed that the
ton of cotton seed was a better fertil-
izer and a better stock food when
robbed of its thirty-five gallons of oil
than before, that the hul1s of the seeds
made the best of fuel for feeding the
oil mill engine, that the ashes of the
hulls scooped from the engines
draught had the highest commercial
value as potash, and that the ~''refuse"
of the whole made the best and purest
soap stock, to carry to the toilet the
perfumes of Lubin or Colgate.-Bank-

Mr.. Robert 7. Lincoln likes to tell the
story of his first fee as an attorney.
Old Judge Logan, under whom he
e law, had always told him not to
be afraid to charge big fees for his SER
vices. People don't respect a cheap
lawyer" said the judge.
One day soon after Mr.. Lincoln had
been admitted to practice he sat alone
in his office when a messenger brought
a note from the Chicago agent Of one
of the wealthiest insurance companies
in America, asking TO have the title to
a certain piece of property looked up.
The young lawyer spent about half an
hour looking into the title and then
sen his report TO the insurance office.
Pretty soon the messenger came with
another note. This one requested Mr..
Lincoln TO send his bill by the bearer.
The young lawyer had no idea what
to charge. At first he thought it
would be good policy not to charge
anything 'for," said he to himself, II
should like TO get that company's work
regularly" But he knew Judge Lo-
gan would not approve hat sort of
thing, and he didn't want the Judge
to think that he was needless of his
advice. So he figured it that, since he
had worked only half an hour, $40
would be a good stiff price, for it
would be at the rate of 5000 for a day
of ten hours. The words of Judge
Logan, however, rang in his cars, and
with n stroke of audacity that almost
frightened him, Mr.. Lincoln finally
made the bill for sos. He felt that
this was an outrageously highfee, and
was hesitating IS 10 whether he would
give it to the boy or make out another
for $40, when Judge Logan CHANGED to
come in.
You are just the man l want to
see" said Mr.. Lincoln, and he told
him of his dilemma.
Judge Logan took the bin and tore
it up,
said Mr.. Lincoln, ''but Judge, you al
ways told me to make big bills, and l
did this more to please you than my
self"
'Nonsenser said the Judge; "give
me n pen"
He sat down, wrote another bill, and
gave it to the boy.
In a few minutes the boy returned
with the insurance agents check for
$3.50, and a little note TO Mr.. Lincoln
thanking him for his promptness, and
saying the company's other work of
this character would be sent to him.
Great Scott" said the young law
yer to the oldone, did you make out a
bill for $2507"
"Of our l did, " answered the old
judge; you don't want to be an cleo
mosynary institution for insurance
companies, do ~youf-Washington

A burro and a bulldog had a fight
recently in Fresno, Cal. Burro is
Californian for donkey. The burro
was browsing on cookie burrs by the
roadside when the bulldog trotted
along, stopped, and without a growl
seized the donkey by the shank bono
of the off hind leg. The burro kicked
and kicked, and then he tried to reach
the dog with his mouth, but unavail-
ingly. Then the burro laid down on
its back and brought its hind legs for
ward toward his head. He shut his
jaws on the dogs back and slowly
Strengthened out. The dog without
hinching kept his grip on the shank
bone. But the donkey had just as
much grit, and kept on Strengthening
itself out though the strain was caus-
ing the flesh and muscles to be terribly
lacerated. The dog let go first. The
burro kept its hold on the dogs back
and in a second was standing on its
feet, with the dog dangling from its
mouth. The burro's leg was terribly
.lacerated, but he did not seem to mind.
He limped across the road and deliber-
ately, pausing several times to rest,
rubbed the dog back and forth over a
barbed wire fence until it was killed.
The dog did not howl from the be-
ginning TO the end.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Japanese Tattoo.r.

A Hong Kong journal gives an nc
count Of a Japanese who has lately
set up in that colony as q professional
tattooer of pictures and designs on the
body. In a room decorated with fans,
hanging pictures and scrolls the visitor
or patient is received. In a c~onspicu-
GUS place is hung q notice in the fol-
lowing words: Il do not business if
fuddled." Sample books are first pro-
duced for inspection and selection;
they are filed with colored drawings
of dragons, birds, insects and scenes
comic and serious. At the bottom is
written the cost of tattooing each, the
price varying from about twelve shil-
lings for three butterflies to an elabor-,
ate group for ego.
The operator himself was tattooed all
over his body with groups Of bright
flowers here, the conventional Japa-
nese girls head there, a female figure
with long flowing robes wound round
one arm from the shoulder to the
wrist, while on the other was q dragon
with every scale carefully shaded. On
the breast was n picture of tho god of
storms, with inscriptions in Japanese
characters, and similar representations
all over the body, the hands alone be-
ing free. The apparatus consists
merely of a small box containing q
slab of black Chinese ink, some yer
million and dark red powders, and n
drawerful of penholders, on the ends
of which were fixed tiny punches of
needles, numbering from three TO
fifty. The customer chooses his de-
sign from the pattern books, the oper-
ator draws it on the part desired, and
then, with a large bunch of needles
for the heavy black and a small one
for the fine lines, the colors are pune
tured in. No blood is drawn, and the
pain is very little.
A dragon, which would be tattooed
for "a, would take five hours, ON &C
count of the number of scales. The
part is then rubbed with vaseline TO
allay the inflammation, and in q day
or two the skin would come off. After
that the marks would be indelible.
The Hong Kong operator tattooed the
arm Of an English prince, and in
Kioto was engaged for a whole month
reproducing on the trunk and limbs of
an English peer n series of scenes
from japanese history. For this he
vas paid about f100. He has also tat
tooed English ladies, and seems to be
especially proud of ono picture, which
was a tiny fan about the size of a half
penny, on which was a complete land
scape with figures well defined. His
income from t%attooing in Hong Kong
Is about II, zoo per annum.

MY KINGDOM AND MY QUEEN.

Ny kingdom has no dazzling throne
No palace grand upon IL
Yet It's as bright as e'er WA known.
Or sung in loval sonnet
I've Travelled east I've Travelled west,
Md scenes of wealth and splendor,
But this one pot I love the best
With all its joys 50 tender;
No place so dear I've ever seen,
For peace reigns here and Love Is queen.
Two subjects in my kingdom dwell,
One has an eye OF azure,
And smiles upon her fair face tell
OF pure and perfect pleasure;
And one has hair of raven hue
And eyes Of hazel beauty,
And whate'er he may strive TO d.
He always does his duty,
And faithful they have ever been
To her who is my household queen.
And as life yields me newer Joy
And hope divine and human,
see one now nc more a boy,
And one almost a woman
The bright days come, the bright days 20,
And each brings some new pleasure
And no spot on the earth / know
Is richer with heart treasure.
Nor happier subjects ne'er were seen
Than In my home where Love Is queen
By no high sounding, royal name
Or title they address her,
As cheerily. their eyes nfame
With love, they kiss and bless her;
But with a voice of gentle tone,
Which joy gives to each other,
They call her by one name alone,
The Above name of motheri
The name the sweetest known to man
Since time and love their course began.
