New York Tribune.
Women who wish to retain their
youthful looks and graceful carriage
should give more attention to the build
ing up of firm flesh and plump muscles
by healthy bodily exercise, which brings
not only clear compilations and bright
eyes, but health and happiness and
fuller enjoyment of life i'm every sense
OF the word. Particularly it is useless
to put faith in so-called complexion
beautifiers and lotions for removing
wrinkles. They are simply caused by
habby condition of the muscles of the
parts where they appear. Some fibers
OF small muscle being inserted in the
integument near the outer angle of the
eye, for example, each contraction of
the parts allows little wrinkles to ap-
pear. This need not and does not make
permanent ones. 1t is only when the
muscle has lost its fullness from i'll
health or age that these little lines re-
dating from the outer angle of the ewes
become ''crOw's-feet." What is true of
the muscles of these parts is equally
true of other parts of the face and body.
1t is the duty of every woman to be
as charming as possible, and there are

times shake their heads and declare
that this form of physical culture NAV

function of the body as nearly normal
as possible.

EVENTS OF TAG WEEK.

The carpenters union held a we'll
attended meeting at the hall, corner
Third and Exchange streets, Monday
evening. and discussed at some length
the eight-hour question. 1t appears
that in large number of localities the
carpenters will make strong effort this
year to gail the eight-hour day. The
st. Paul union, however, will take no
steps in this direction, but will devote
its energies to the perfecting of the
organization and placing it on its former
level.
Tuesday evening the boss BARRIERS and
Journeymen held joint conference and
discussed matters of peculiar interest to
the trade. At the close of the meeting
the following rules were unanimously

The typographical union holds its
regular monthly meeting at Labor Tenn
pie this afternoon. Among matters to
be considered will be the Instructions to
delegate to the next convention. Indi-
cations show that some attention will

st. Paul trades assem- bly, was in attend

settlement of the cornice workers

immediate prospects for a settlement.

being done by any of the firms in the
city. Aid will now be forthcoming from
the national union, which has officially
approved the steps taken by the Mime
apolis union.

Animal Worship.

Among primitive peoples all animals
are supposed to be endowed with souls,
which in many cases have formerly ami
mated human beings. Hence like
ness is often recognized between al an
imal and some deceased friend, and the
animal is addressed as the person wculd
have been, and honored with kind of
worship. Many tribes call themselves
by the name of and even derive their
pedigree from some animal. It's cries
become the omen of the tribe, and thus
originate the divination and augury OF
the more civilized nations.
In the modern world the most civil
lied people among whom animal wor.
ship Observation-Disclosures lie within the
range of Brahminism. Here the sacred
COW is not merely to be spared; she is
as deity worshipped and bowed to
daily by the pious Hiadoo. silva is in
carnate in Hanuman, the monkey god.
The divine king of birds, Garuda, is
Vishnu's vehicle, and the forms of fish
and bear and tortoise ass%med in the
avatar legends of Vishnu. Perhaps no
worship has prevailed more widely
than that of the serpent. It had it's
place in Egypt and among the He
