Something About Wrinkles.

The general impression about
wrinkles, says the Scientific Press,
is that they are caused by worry,
but the truth is that most Of them
come from laughing. 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 accord
ance with the kind of laugh you
have. The man who always wears
a smirk will have n series Of semi
circular wrinkles covering his
cheeks. A gambler, who is accus-
toned 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 cadav-
erous person is usually marked
with two wrinkles, one on the jaw
and the other under the eye, meet
ing at right angles with the cheek
bones. The scholars wrinkles form
on his brow, while the schemer's
wrinkles come around his eyes and
look like spokes of q wheel.

Father Washington Was tho Richest

"When George Washington died
in 1899, he possessed the largest
private fortune (between $500, 1000
and $500, ,O0O) in the United States.
TO-DAY there are hundreds and
thousands of men in this country
whose yearly income is more than
the entire estate of the richest man
in the country in 1899, and there
is at least one man in the country
whose monthly revenue exceeds the
entire value of the estate Of George

Terror of q Volcano.

Some idea of the terror of vol
canoes may be gathered from an
account of an eruption in one of
the Hawaiian Islands, when the
crater was filled from 500 to 600
feet deep with molten lava, the i'm,
mense weight Of which broke
through a subterranean passage of
twenty.seven miles and reached the
sea, forty miles distant, in two days,
flowing for three weeks and heating
the water twenty miles distant.
"Rocks melted like wax in its path !;
forests cracked and blazed before
its fervent heat /; the works of man
were to it as scroll in the flames.
Imagine Niagara's stream, above
the brink at the falls, with its dash
ing, whirling, madly raging waters,
hurrying on to their plunge, instan-
taneously converted into fire; a
gory-hued river OF fused minerals /;
volumes of kissing steam arising ;
smoke curling upward from 10000
vents, which give utterance to the
many deep-toned mutterings and
sullen confined clamorings; gases
decorating and shrieking as they
burst from their hot prisom-house
the heavens lurid with fame: the
atmosphere dark and oppressive ;
the horizon murky with vapors and
cleaning with the reflected contest.
Such was the scene as the fiery cat
aract, leaping a precipice of fifty
feet, poured its food upon the ocean:
The old line Of coast, mass OF
compact indurated lava, whitened,
cracked and fell. The waters re-
coiled and sent forth tempest of
spray; they foamed and lashed
around and over the melted rock !;
they boiled with the heat, and the
roar of the conflicting agencies
grew fercer and louder. The re-
ports of the exploding gases were
distinctly heard twenty-five miles
distant, and were likened to whole
broadside of heavy artillery. The
intensest light glanced like streaks
af lightning in all directions; the
outskirts of the burning lava as it
fell, cooled by the shock, were shiv-
cred into millions of fragments;
and scattered by the strong wind
in sparkling showers far into the
country. Six weeks later, at the
base of the hills, the water contin,
ued scalding hot, and sent forth
clouds of steam at every wash OF
the waves.-London Budget.

A Brisk Porter.

"Do you know" said a business
man, "that l had an experience re-
Gently which was not at all compli-
mentary to my vanity? I started
from San Francisco to New York,
and on the day after my first night
on the sleeping-car 1 noticed that
notches had been cut in the heels
of both my shoes. l supposed that
the porter had done this to identify
my shoes, and was disposed to for
get the whole affair. l noticed,
however, that the porter was assid-
uous in his attentions to me, al
though there was a slight, almost
imperceptible, touch of hostility to
me in his manner. He was good
porter, however, and when l chang
ed my sleeping car l tipped him
literally. After my first night on
my second car I remembered the
notches, and looking on my boot
heels found a cross on each. l de-
cided that this was notice to por-
ters that I was liberal Upper.
Still l noticed the same concealed
dislike of the porter, and his earnest
desire to please me. | found his
service excellent, however.
"When l took my next sleeper at
Chicago l met there q porter with
whom l had travelled before and
who knew who l was. While he
was brushing me down the next
morning he kept chucklingto to him
self. what tickles you SO much,
Sam?' l finally asked. He only
chuckled and grinned the harder.
At last he said, choking with laugh.
ter: 'Dey's took you for spotter,
sah.' That meant nothing to me,
but Sam explained that the first
porter had imagined l was a spy.

A Tale of Barley Corn.

An Oregon paper notices the sue
cess of young woman in one Of the
northwest valleys who four years
ago sowed in her flower garden the
seed from one head of barley. In
due time the crop ripened and she
harvested it with a pair of shears
and threshed it out by rubbing it
between her hands. She saved every
kernel and the next year sowed the
whole crop, the second time har-
vesting it with her shears. The
third years crop from the multi.
piled yield of the original head OF
barley was so prolific that her father
had to harvest it, and his implement
was a grass scythe. The threshing
turned out enough seed for forty
acres of land, which last spring was
sowed and this fall was harvested.
There was an average of forty bush
els to the acre, consequently total
Weld of 1900 bushels in four years
from one head of barley. The local
newspaper, in proudly commenting
upon the magnificent ''lesson which
this teaches u.s." observes that
whereas in the beginning there was
not enough barley to have kept from
losing itself in the interstices Of q
horses teeth, cultivation had pro.
duced enough, coupled with the ART
of manufacture, to make the whole
| valley drunk.-Ogden Standard.

PAUL HAYNES PLACE.
He Belongs Not to the South, but
to the Country.

Paul H. Hayne, we'll known as a
Southern poet, belonged to the
whole country-North as we'll as
South, East as we'll as West, recog-
nized his ability and paid tribute
to his genius. And to-day no true
American, no matter where he lives,
hears the mention of this sweet
singers name without sentiments
of love and reverence for his mem
ory, and a feeling of pride that SO
grand a man, SO true a poet, was
born upon American soil. Hayne
himself felt, and to him it was
source of pleasure and pride, that
he had both the sympathy and love
Of the American people. OF the
most modest and retiring disposi-
ton, he never courted nor sought
fame, but, amid the simple sur
,roundings of his quiet Southern
home, he wrote the melodious words
that drew all hearts toward him,
and which won for him the love
and esteem of his countrymen.
True, he was named the "Laure-
ate of the South" and we'll did he
deserve it, for no other Southern
writer has done so much for the
literature of that section, but the
fact remains that while we Of the
North gladly accorded to him, while
living, that distinction, and while
we say of him now that he was the
greatest poet the South has pro.
duced, yet would we claim him, not
as the representative of any partic-
ular section, but rather as repre-
sentative poet. Unlike Timrod,
whose friend he was, he wrote for
all humanity, and from all parts OF
the country and from foreign lands
came earnest, touching letters writ
ten by men and women who had
been drawn to him by the earnest
sweetness of his words. So, while
Paul H. Hayne was Southern
poet, he was also an American poet,
and still more he was one of the
worlds poets.--Ed Il. Prichard in
Arkansaw Traveller.

A New Game Of Cards.

"Waleedi'' is the name of new
game of cards that has caused q
flutter in society. From the furor
that has followed its introduction
into the charmed circle, it would
seem that whist is to be pushed into
the back ground to give place to the
new game. The fair vOtaries of
fashion, usually prone to shun card
playing, have yielded to its fascina-
tions, and "Waleedi" has received a
boom that will tend to make it one
of the most popular of card games.
At present, poker, euchre and whist
have lost ground among the men in
favor of the new game. In its
terms and the names of the points
to be made, Waleedi carries with it
a Bret Harte suggestion. Reminis-
cences of mining camps, wild, ro-
mantle scenery, and of the rush for
wealth during the gold fever, fit
through the mind as ''vein, "pock-
ct" and chimney" are called during
the game. Waleedi itself is the
name of a mine in silvery Colorado.
A peculiar dispute in connection
with this mine led to it's invention.
The mine was owned by two men,
one of whom wanted to work ore
wherever it was rich enough to pay,
and the other to develop a "chim-
ney" he was confident would be
found in the ledge some considera-
bic distance on. A compromise was
affected by an agreement by which
they were to share expenses equally
and to divide receipts from the ore
taken from the tunnel. The former
was to have the privilege to work
all veins ut his own expense, and
to have all receipts from them, but
in case q chimney" was struck he
was to grant his partner the privi-
lege to work it and enjoy the profits.
BY playing the game it can easily
be seen which man made his for
tune first.
The game is played similarly to
whist. There are four players, those
opposite being partners. The entire
deck is dealt, one card at a time,
and the last card turned up for a
trump. The ace is the highest card
of a suit, and every player is COM
PEELED to follow suit if he can. The
terms used are as follows: A game
is is called fortune" a count is a
"strike," a ''large strike" a "small
strike" or struck 12." In counting
up one says "struck 48 in veins"
"struck so in pocket" etc. The
six, knave, king, queen and ace are
called "waste cards." the two, three,
four and FIVE "vein cards." and the
seven, eight, nine and ten "pocket
cards." Four "pocket cards" Of
suit make pocket. A pocket" OF
trumps is "rich pocket" Two
pockets are called "a chimney"
When all the tricks are played the
"strike" is made as follows: The
waste cards" do not count; each
"yein card" strikes as much as its
spots number, the four striking four
ETC.; pocket" strikes" So;
erich pocket" Is; q chimney" a
fortune" which is 800. In the
rapid changes, victories and defeats
Waleedi is q most exciting game.

to Quit Bad Habits.

A novel legal case in Kentucky
was lately tried, in which an old
lady had agreed to give her grand
son $500 if he would quit smoking
for a specified period. Before the
end of the time she died but the
young man kept the agreement and
then demanded the money from
her executors. They refused to pay
it; he sued, and the highest court
of the State held that his claim was
a good one.
A similar case has been decided
by the supreme court in one OF the
departments of this State, but the
decision is not the same.
An uncle promised his nephew
IS, 600 when he became Of age if he
would not drink, smoke, play cards
or billiards in the meantime. On

The Most Common Misquotation

"What is the most common mis-
quotation in the English language?"
asked the inquisitive member of
the Cogburn Club this morning as
the purist entered. The answer
came promptly:
"When Greek meets Greek, then
comes the tug of war"
"Well, what is the matter with
that ?"asked the inquisitive member.
"That is the most common mis-
quotation in the English language"
responded the purist. II heard the
late Roscoe Conkling say once that
he won basket of wine from Glenn
ent l.. Vallandigham on that quo
tation. He wagered that Mr.. Val
landigham could not tell what the
correct words were, nor who wrote
them, nor when they were written.
And he won on every point. Now
put yourself in Mr.. Vallandigham's
place. What would you have done?"
II should have declined to make
the bet," said the inquisitive mem
Der. "And l" land l." came from
all parts of the room.
"But l should not" said the pu-
.rist. "When Greeks joined Greeks,
then was the tug of war" is the cor
rect quotation. It was written by
Nathaniel Lee, an Englishman,
about the year 1900"
'.Did you ever see it correctly
quoted??" asked the inquisitive
member.

THE VANDERBILT CHILDREN.
How They Are Educated and
Trained.

Although all the members OF the
Vanderbilt family entertain on a
magnificent scale, says a writer in
the Ladies' Home Journal for Oc-
tober, they never permit their chill
dren to remain up late at night, are
extremely careful in their educa-
ton, and, in a word. are fitting
them for life as well as any mother
or father could do. 1t is one of the
rules in an the houses of the Van
derbilts, that the children shall go
to bed early and rise early. The
little boys and girls are up before 7
o'clock in the morning. Their nur-
ses Immediately take charge of
them, see that they are properly
bathed and dressed, and then they
90 down to breakfast, which is
served at half-past seven o'clock.
It is an unpretentious meal, with
plenty of fresh milk, eggs, oatmeal,
and bit of steak or chop that
will add strength to their physique
and color to their cheeks. After
breakfast there is an hour of study.
There is something for those little
ones to do at all times during the
day. They 60 through their studies
Systematically, and then, about
half-past nine, are taken out for a
walk. They are allowed to romp in
the streets and in the parks to their
hearts content. At II o'clock they
are brought home ,and a light lunch,
con of milk and bread is served,
after which there are more studies
either French, German or draw
ing-and then another breathing
spell-it may be horseback riding,
or drive out through the park and
along the country roads. Back they
all come about 4 o'clock and there
is another hour of study, and then
they are through for the day. They
are allowed to do just as they please
till tea time, when after their meal,
they spend a pleasant hour or 80,
with their fathers and mothers and
others who may drop in to call
Promptly at s o'clock they are all
in bed to sleep soundly, and get up
the next morning and go through
the same programme. So 1t Is not
strange that all the children of the
Vanderbilt family are further in
advance of their little friends in the
matter of education. For they
study, study, study, study all the
time. They are very fond of music
and most of them can play on the
piano. The girls are learning to
play on the harp, and the boys are
famous among their friends as vio'
linists and banjo players. If you
we're to see these children on the
street, you would not for moment
suspect that they were other thar
children of parents in ordinary cir
cumstances. They make no display
at elaborate dress. The eldest o.
Cornelius Vanderbilt's daughters il
dressed plainly in little, pretty
cheap dresses without any braid OF
ornamentation. She wears snug
fitting cloth jackets, and the little
cap that sits gracefully on her heae
could be duplicated for couple O.
dollars.
