Characteristic Wrinkles.

"Iti is customary to say that wrinkles
come from worrying, but the truth is
that most of them come from laughing"
says well-known physician. "To
know how to 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
always wears smirk will have series
of semi-circular wrinkles covering his
cheeks.
"When gambler who has been in
the habit of suppressing his feelings
laughs, a deep line forms on each side
of his nose and runs to the upper
corner of his mouth. In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the
shape of q half-moon. A caday erous
person with waN-like skin is very apt
to have two broadly marked wrinkles,
one running up from the jaw and the
other under the eye. These meet at
right angles at the cheek-bones and
look as though they formed knot at
the apex. The scholars wrinkles form
on his brow, while the scheming poll
tician's come round his eyes, where
they look for all the world like the
spokes of a wheel "-Ne,v York Nail

MISS Canada's Visit to Uncle SAm-A Grand
Tour Of "the States"
Mr.. Erastus Wiman, whose efforts to
bring Canada and the United States
together are we'll known, is authority
for the statement that the Government
of the Dominion of Canada, including
the three hundred and twenty mem9
bers of Parliament, has been invited
to make visit some time this year to
this country, the expense to be borne
by syndicate Of liberal American
capitalists. The details of the scheme
indicate the biggest kind of visit
with various "bankwets, az Bill Nye
would call them. They are, according
to the programme, to have q special
train Of palace cars throughout their
entire tour of the American States,
and they are not to be allowed
to spend penny. Their route will
be comprehensive one. They will
cross the suspension bridge to Buffalo,
and after they have done that
town will take in successfully Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, which they will paint
red, Chicago, thence to st. Louis, and
on down to New Orleans via Memphis,
and from there by the Southern line
will visit Chattanooga, Birmingham,
Nashville, and other Southern indus
trial points. The homeward route
will then begin with easy stages
through Richmond, Washington, Bal
timore, Wilmington aud Philadelphia,

give the place vermilion hue they
will start directly for home, taking in
Albany and Rochester en- route, al
though they may take in the Hub" OF

As this will be the first visit of Miss
Canada to the sutton for her hand and
heart it is but the proper thing that
Uncle Sam should foot the bill. It is
estimated that it will cost him little
half million, but he doesn't mind the
money if it only pleases the gal. She
may come high, but he's bound to have
her. Evidently the courtship grows
serious. The young fellow is going to
show the young lacy some of his real
estate and improvements, stocks, bonds,
and bank account, and other valuable
assets; that, in short, he is we'll fixed
or "heeled" in this worlds goods; and
that he ranks high among the coupon
clippers" and "bloated millionaires,
and, in short, that he is able to keep a
yacht, blooded high-steppers, and a
nice turnout-and that everything is
paid for-and that all he needs to COM
plete his happiness is handsome wife.
Erastus Wiman, the man who is pro-
noting the agitation of the annexation
of Canada, is one of the prominent
figures among New York business men,
When the Pennsylvania Railroad was
doing its utmost to keep the Baltimore
and Ohio out of New York, it was
Wiman who suggested the feasibility
of the latter road building terminal
facilities on Staten Island. The rival
road had expected that the Baltimore
and Ohio would seek to enter New
York over the Reading Railroad and
Jersey Central track, taking advantage
of the excellent terminal facilities of
the latter road in Jersey City. Such
would have been the programme had
not the Pennsylvania spoiled the game.
It was then that Wiman stepped to
the fore. The fight began in earnest,
and in the New Jersey Legislature it
waxed hot, and was continued in Con-
gress. After the most determined OPP
position, Wiman and the Baltimore
and Ohio won-being allowed to build
bridge over the Arthur Kills-thus
connecting New Jersey and New York.
Wiman was for three years President
and practically owner Of the Metropol-
itan Baseball Club, and is great ad-
mirer and promoter of the national
game. He is millionaire, and one OF
the shrewdest business men in New

murmuring wall of caressing breeze

as his left hand and arm disappeared
from sight with rapid yet sneaking
motion toward the back of the sofa on
which they sat, and the fingers of his
right hand appeared to be feeling for
something in his vest pocket, "you
have made me the happiest man in the

/. The timid upturned glance of her
liquid dark eyes and the warm blush
that overspread the happy face OF the
lovely girl replied more eloquently
than words could have done.

it is in some other pocket"

noted with concern his CHASTITY face, on

DON'T be afraid to cut out the canes
from raspberries literally, and cut them
low down. Too many canes in a hill

sometimes the cause Of rot, as it invites
moisture. Trim the vines while the
weather is cold.
The continued warm weather for this
season may cause the buds to prematurely
swell. only to be caught by the frost
later on. The best preventive is the use
of mulch, which prevents the ground
from warming before spring.
If the fruit trees are split by frost a
good plan is to heat grating Widespread
it over piece of muslin and place over
the wound, tying in place with strips OF
the same material wrapped around the
trees! The strip covered with wax
should be sufficiently large to entirely
cover the wound.
MU1cH1NG prevents the early flow of
sap by preventing the ground from
warming too early. AS the frost may
catch the trees and vines after they be-
gin to send out shoots, the Importance
Of delaying the flow of sap should not
be overlooked. Mulching is more es-
sential during an open winter than at
any other time.
"A CHEAP remedy for grape rot is to
begin early in the season, and scatter air
slaked lime freely over the vineyard,
busting not only the ground but the
vines. 1t should be repeated. at least ,
once month, or after each rain. Inc

THE DAIRY.
Bad Ventilation Of Stables,

1t is singular fact that in nine -tenths
/ OF the cases, the fresh air is let into the
stable at the rear of the COWS, instead of
In front of them. The result is that the
cold air drops down behind the cows, in
It's way to their heads, and sweeps along
with it the odors from the smoking
droppings, added to the constant exhala-
lions from the cows bodies, for them to
anhale at every breath, Some have even
argued that this is the correct way of in
Producing pure air because animals turn
their tails to beating storm! They
forget that the animal seeks to protect
which interferes with breathing, while
Its head is still in the midst of plenty of
fresh air. The cases of COW in a storm
ana COW in stable are not the same.
ANY animal closely confined will in
stlnctlvely turn its face to the light and
its nose to the fresh air. Usually there
is some upward draft in front of the
COWS, but often there is none, while few
make free use of absorbents or deodor-
Aers. On entering, the air is loaded
with offensive effluvia and almost suffo-
eating. And then the dairyman wonders

No amount of careful milking and
mishap under such circumstances. The
doors and favors which have been in

THE FARM.
The Best Fodder Corn.

TIC l1EBt FOUU1r COTU
Too little attention is given by many
farmers to the kind of corn they plant
for fodder or ensilage purposes. A rank
growing Southern corn used by many is
perhaps the best, on account of its great
tendency to produce abundant leaves.
these are the agencies by which carbon
to sugar and starch in the ripening pro-
cess. Cut just after it gets in tassel,
the stalks of this variety of corn are very
sweet. It is very generally known
among farmers as the "B. and W." corn.
Those who have tried it will pay an ex-
ira price rather than use any other. The
seed should be procured from Virginia
every year, as Northern grown seed is
not SO good.

Nothing Better Than Farming.

There are certain class of farmers
who are never satisfied with the results
of their labor, and they look upon the
mercantile business as something to be
envied, and to be got into as soon as
they can raise the necessary capital.
They seldom consider how the success
full merchant has striven to establish
himself in the way of making money,
and how watchful he has to be to sus-
why the same processes may not lead to
as great successes on the land as in the

that it l. SO. Hundreds of men every
year make money to their entire satis-
faction out of agricultural or horti-
cultural pursuits. They are not SO well

storekeeper-agricult are too much

as surelv in the one case as in the other.
These successful businesses are SIM

knowledge of some one thing might
have suggested the enterprise, but one
after another, as some parts would be
understood, the least profitable would
be dropped, and, in many instances,
firms that began dealing in a dozen ar

have frequently pointed out the fact,
and urged. on cultivators that this is the
only way to get into the special crop
business. There is scarcely district Of
