portant rules for preserving your good

tices which my French teacher calls tics, y

mcnt rather than one of sympathy. Then
there are others who cannot indulge IN a
good hearty laugh without doing positive
violence to all the laws that govern an at
tructive expression.
Mothers are largely to blame for this sort
of thing. They seem to be perfectly indif-
ferent to the fact that their children eat
with their mouths open, punctuate in fnct
everything they do and say by series OF
grimaces that would do credit to Il Chin
panzee. This sort of a thing grows with
their growth and by the time they have
reached their teens they have furrowel
lines that grow deeper and deeper as the
years creep on apacc. Don't mistake sta-
lidity Of expression for repose Of manner
Now this is habit as unfortunate to ac-
quire rs the grimace.
Investigate the matter and you will
quickly discover that the placid, fair faced
woman who is dubbed us young looking as
her daughter has cultivated serenity of
disposition which is Il better safeguard
against the inroads of time than I'LL tho
cosmetics in the world. Have you not
often wondered, when meeting with dear
old Quaker ladies', ut the fresh COM
plexion and serenely fair face which ago
has failed t., mark with wrinkles? Ger
talnly these women have not been spared
the trials and tribulations of life. Then,
what is their secret? Just ask one of them,
and she will tell you that sho has been
thoroughly disciplined in the nrt of con-
trolling not only her body but her mind.
You often hear the remark, What an ex-
pressive face! But that very play Of express
sion will later on bring its owner to grief.
A fatal network Of lines is formed that not

cate, So. look out, my fair readers, that

sequences nre bound to be most disastrous.

LAYING Pipch Under NYa1er.

n civil engineer at Watcrtown has ac-
complislied in very simple, cheap and
expeditions way what is usually difficult
and expensive operation-the laying of q
long line of pipe in deep wqter. Tie had
occasion to lay nearly LOCO feet OF suction
pipe at Rouse's point. The water was
needed for manufacturing purposes and us
1t was found that the water near the shore
was more or less impure 1t was necessary
to place the inlet II considerable distance
out into tho lake. He purchased for tho
purpose II steel pressure pipe of eight inch
diameter. Plugging the end of the first
length he pushed it out on the surface of
Lake Champlain and connected the second
length, pushing this out in turn until the
whole limo was coupled.
1t then presented the unusual spectacle
of line of eight inch pressure pipe nearly
1000 feet long floating with II displacement
of only 81 inches of its diameter When
the requisite length had been connected
the line was towed to position, the plug at
the end removed and the pipe sank easily
in l61a feet of water without breaking q
joint or receiving any injury. No buoys or
floats were used in the operation and no APP
paratus OF any kind. The pipe is now in
use rs the suction of steam pump and

The Value of the CoIophon.

One Of the most interesting papers read
before the International Conference of Ii
brarians at its last session was that of Dr.
Garnctt, of the British Museum, on colo
phons, or private symbols affixed to books
by the printers issuing them. Colophons,
or attestntions of The execution Of L book
occurring at the end of a voilr,o werc lie
said, much older than title pages, and for y
time supplied the place Of the title page,
which WIS unknown uatil about l41i nnd
not generally useil until lt90. The delay
in the application of SO obvious an idea rs
the title page WAS vcry' singular, but might
be regarded as fortunate, iuasmuch as tho
colophon, though less practical than the
title page was often more communicative.
Early colophons frequently gave interest
ing information respecting the book and
the printer which could not well have found
nplace upon the title page, aud thus helped
to clucidate an interesting but obscure de-
partment Of literary history.
