To Prevent Wrinkles.

A frown will mar the prettiest face.
1t dosen't matter about q boy, but
the small girl does violence to beauty
and youth by ruffling her forehead
or futing her brow. 1t is, too, a
habit acquired very early in life.
After her pouting days are over she
begins tc frown, and keeps on frown-
ing until old enough to realise the
banefulness of the habit. In other
words, each ridge is supposed to add
decade to her apparent age. Now,
somebody has made the discovery of
a couple of muscles between the
bridge of the nose and the roots Of the
hair which can be cut without pain
or injury to the feelings or face.
The services of skillful surgeon are
secured, who then applies the knife,
sewers the delicate cord, dresses the
wound, and after the skin heals, the
forehead becomes as smooth as the
temple, and what is most remarkable
remains so.-New York World.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE BRIGHT SIDE.


II one looks upon tho bright side
II H. sure 10 be the right side
AT least that's how I've found II as Two jour
neyed through each day.
And it's queer how shadows vanish,
Aud how easy it's 20 Danish
From a bright side sort OF nature every dolefui
thing away
There are two sides 10 a question,
AS we know; so the suggestion
OF the side which holds the sunlight seems
most reasonable 20 me.
And YOU know we can't be merry
And make our surroundings CHEEKY,
n we win persist in coddling every gloomy
thing VIC see.
There's a sensible quotation
Which will ~ in every station
We an know it--'As the twig Is bent so is the
tree Inclined
And the twigs of thought we're bending,
II to ways Of gloom we're tending,
win be pretty sure 10 twist and dwarf and quite
dcforn the mind.
There's a way OF searching over
The wide skies TIL we discover
Whether storms are on the way, or the weather
that we love;
And the blue may fast be hiding
Back Of clouds which swift are riding,
Yet we know the blue is shining STILL and
spreading far above.
AND while that will last forever
(For the true blue fadeth never,
The dark clouds must soon or laterbe dispersed
and fade away;
And the sweet bright side" still shining,
Will meet the eyes inclining
To watch for II and welcome It, however dark
the day.
So, my friends, let's choose the bright side,
Just the happy, glorious right side,
Which will give us health and spirits just as
long as life shall last;
And the sorrows that roll DER US
Shall not always go before US
II we keep O watch for blue skies, and will hold
its sunshine fast.

To our surprise, 1t was now so dark
we could hardly see each other. The
wind had risen to perfect gale and was
roaring around our ears, while the snow
swept into our faces. Some OF us chung
10 the sled to keep from being blown
away.
In turning corner a little too alb
ruptly, the sled had tilted TO one side
and the wind had helped to tip 1t over.
1t now lay bottom-side up In little
ravine by the roadside. One side OF the
wagon-bed rested on a rock and was
raised eight or ten inches from the
ground.
Suddenly Miss Dodge called out
sharply and authoritatively, her voice
rising shrill and distinct above the roar
of the wind:
''Git under that sled the last one of
you! Skeet under 1t fast as you canl
Huddle up close together, and bundle
up we'll In the shawls and robes, and
mind that you stay there until me or
somebody else comes after you! Don't
one OF you dast to even peek out! Git
under-quickp
We obeyed as fast as we could, laugh
ing and giggling as wo did so. When
we were all under, Miss Dodge put her
head down to the opening and shrieked;
''1'm goin' on for another sledl Mind,
now, that not one of you budges until I
git back! Stay where you are and I
guess you'll be all right"
We were all dressed warmly, and the
wagon-bed sheltered us from the wind,
and before many minutes the snow
drifted entirely over, II making our re-
treat warmer than ever.
do not remember that any of us
suffered very much from the cold, al
though we discovered afterward that
some of us had frost-bitten toes.
We crept up close to each other, pull
ing the straw and robes and blankets all
over us, laughing and joking as we did
80.
But poor Miss Dodge! Years of hard
ship and exposure had so toughened her
that her powers Of endurance were very
great. And yet that ride to my fathers

little brother, three girls named
Barnes, Wilfred Long and his sister
and my brother James and /.
Wilfred Long, the boy who had given
Miss Dodge so much trouble, was older
than any of as, and he was, as / have
said, but fourteen years old. He was
very quiet and thoughtful as we rode
along.
Miss Rebecca sat upon the high seat,
lines In hand, her scanty skirts blowing
out behind her and her gray head bowed
to the wind.
She had on an old overcoat of her
brothers and shawl wound around her
head, while her hands were cncased in a
huge pair of bearskin mittens she had
herself made.
"You warm?' she asked, once or twice,
looking back over her shoulders.
Eyes, ma am, !" some of us would reply,
respectfully enough now.
1t was surprising how fast it grew
dark and how rapidly the temperature
lowered. Struggled up" as we were in
the straw and covered with robes and
blankets. we soon began to grow chilled.
The Barnes farmhouse was a mile
and quarter from the school-housc,
while the homes OF tho rest of us were
farther away, my brother James and
coming from distance OF nearly two
miles.
The wind steadily increased In fury,
and the snow fell faster. Miss Dodge
urged her horses on, but one Of them
was lame and limpcd painfully.
We finally lay down fat in the starw,
and covered up In the blankets and be-
gan pinching and teasing each other
not realizing that our situation was al
all dangerous, and not approaching all
Miss Dodge was doing for us
Suddenly we all gave a shrek as we
went sprawIing out In the snow, or on to
the frozen ground in places where the
wind had blown the snow away.

MISS REBECcA SAT UPON THE HIGH SEAT.
house, less than mile from the sled,
came near being her last.
Hastily loosening the horses from the
broken sled-tongue, she turned the
lame one loose, and, mounting the
other, set off in the direction in which
she supposed the Barnes farmhouse to
be.
But she could not see, and, after q mo-
ment or two, was forced to simply cling
to her horse and trust to his strength
and sagacity to carry her to the farm
house.
have often heard my father tell how
he had reached home from the town,
four miles distant, just as the storm
broke in greatest fury. He thought he
would find James and me safe at home,
and was distracted when told that we
had not come.
IL was useless TO start out then, and he
and my mother were walking the floor,
hoping and praying for our safety and
for the storm to cease, when they heard
the whinny of horse at one Of the
lighted windows.
Rushing out father found Miss Dodge
clinging to the horse, but too chilled and
too near unconscious to speak for some
time.
They got her into a warm bed, and
her first words were:
I-think-they're safe. The-chil-
dren-yours- and-some others-under
my-sled-by-the-lo tree-at the
bend -in-the road"
Then she tainted away, and the sun
was shining in at the windows and all
signs of the storm, excepting the great
drifts Of snow, were gone when Miss
Dodge next opened her eyes and looked
about her.
The storm abated its fury at about
three o'clock in the morning, when
my father and his hired man hitched the
horses to our big sled and came to look
us up.
1t was easy to find the place, for the
tree spoken of by Miss Dodge was the
only one for miles around.
Armed with shovels, they soon re.
moved enough of the snow to let us
come crawling out, stiff and sleepy,
but not much the worse for our expe-
rience.
Hurrying us into another sled, full of
straw and robes and blankets, father
drove around to the Dwight, Barnes,
Greenwood and Long homes, in all OF
which we found anxious and fearful
mothers, too distraught to sleep. Some
of the fathers and older brothers were
already out with lanterns and torches
ard teams, securing the white prairies
In search of us.
1t was ten days before Miss Dodge
could be taken home, severe attack Of
rheumatism following her fearful ride
that night.
Her stock and house were carefully
looked after in the meantime by the
fathers and older brothers of those who
were in her sled that night, and when
she was finally taken home, she found
the Long, Greenwood. Barnes, Dwight
and Carter families assembled in her
little home, each OF us carrying some
gift to prove our gratitude.
But we boys and girls gavo greater
proof of our own gratitude by our treat
ment of Miss Dodge In the future, and
from that time forth she was one of our
warmest friends, and was someti mes
heard to say:

Paper is now made to serve for steel
and iron. When strong fiber is used
it can be made into q substance so
hard that it can scarcely be scratched.
Railroad car wheels are made of it
more durable than iron. A store in
Atlanta, Georgia, says the st. Louis
Stationer, has been built entirely of
paper. The rafters, weather boards,
roof and flooring are all made of COM
pressed paper boards, impervious to
water. On account of the surface of
the paper being smooth and hard it
cannot catch on fire as easily as a
wooden building. 1t is found warm in
cold and cool in hot weather. The
Breslau fireproof chimney has demon
strated that cooking and heating
stoves, bathtubs and pots, when an
nealed by process that renders it
fireproof, becomes more lasting than
iron and will not burn out. Cracks
in floors around the skirting board,
and other parts Of room, may be
neatly filled by thoroughly soaking
newspaper in paste made as thick as
putty and forced into the cracks with
a paste knife. 1t will soon harden
and can be painted.
Black walnut picture frames are
made of paper and SO colored that no
one can tell them from the original
wood. A paper piano has lately been
exhibited in Paris. The entire case is
made of compressed paper, to which
is given a hard surface, a cream-white
brilliant polish. The legs and sides
are ornamented with arabesques and
floral designs. The exterior, and as
much of the interior as can be seen
when the instrument is open, are COW
cred with wreaths and medallions
painted in miniature. An Italian
monk has succeeded in constructing
an organ where the pipes are made of
paper pulp. 1t has 400 pipes of va
rious sizes. The American cottonseed
oil trust are now running a mill for
making paper from the hulls remain
ing after all the oil has been squeezed
out of the cottonseed. They are con-
templating the erection of 10O-ton
mill for the same purpose. These
hulls have heretofore been considered
worthless. 1t has SO far proved a sue
cess that the trust propose erecting
mills at different points in the cotton
raising country. Of course this will
somewhat revolutionize the paper
trade.
A new mill for the manufacture Of
paper from moss, has been recently es-
tablished in Sweden. Paper of diff
ferent thickness and pasteboard made
of it have already been shown, the
latter even in sheets three. quarters Of
an inch thick. 1t is as hard as wood
and can be easily painted and polish
ed. 1t has all the good qualities, but
none of the defects, of wood The
pasteboard can be used for door and
window frames, architectural orna-
ments and all kinds Of furniture. The
ceiling of the assembly chamber at
Albany, n. Y, is made of paper-ma-
che. 1t is model of its kind and
appears so like marble as to deceive
the most expert eye. The latest idea
is to use paper instead of wood for
lead pencils, by using patent prepa.
