WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

1t is estimated that the thirty
five railroads which enter Chicago
will expend $110,000,000 in in
creasing and improving their
equipment and facilities for trans
porting Worlds Fair visitors and
freight.
Butterflies to the number of
10000 will be shown in the Penn
sylvania exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. The collection is said to be
the most complete and finest in
the world.
Costa Rica's pavilion at the
Worlds Fair will be surrounded by
gardens ornamented by profusion
of tropical plants, and in the gal
leries of the pavilion will be placed
more than 1000 beautiful birds,
many of which have very gorgeous
plumage.
France intends to show its skill
in landscape gardening at the
Worlds Fair. A cablegram has
been received from the French
commission asking that it be al
lowed to do so, and bear the ex-
pense of the whole decoration of
the spaces surrounding the Horti-
cultural and the Woman's build
ings." This generous offer doubt
less will be accepted, if it does not
interfere with plans too far adj
vanced to be changed.
Thos. Cook & Son, of London, well
known tourists agents, have mott
fed the Transportation department
of the Worlds Fair that they in
tend to make an exhibit of means
of transportation including the
following: Norwegian carriole, Nor
wegian sleigh, Lapland dog sleigh,
Irish car, Neapolitan cart, Turkish
caique, Palestine encampment,
camel saddle and harness, ele.
plant with howdah, Bombay bull,
lock cart, catamaran, Chinese
palanquin, japanese jinriksha, an.
tique English sedan chairs, old
English travelling chariot, models
of dahabeahs and Nile steamers
models of boats, and also to show
models of various Egyptian tenn,

WHAT MAKES WRINKLES.

Reading all the paragraph wisdom
that is uttered nowadays on the sub
ject of wrinkles, their avoidance and
their cure, stranger on this planet
would certainly think new and
mortal terror had just come among
us. Enough is said of the treatment
of wrinkles to make us all wise to
avoid them, if wisdom were enough.
But wrinkles, like love, will find out
way and In spite of massage and
oils and balm, wrinkles will set their
delicate seal of thought and perplex-
ity upon the forehead and under
the eyes about the lips. The reason
of wrinkles, any one will tell you
easily, is years. But why is it that
years make wrinkles? What con-
nection is there between the flight Of
time over our heads and the fine
tracery upon our features? Here is
the explanation, as well as layman
can give it. Underneath the skin in
the flesh are embedded multitudes of
little muscles that hold the flesh and
keep it, as we say, "solid and firm"
The skin also has a certain muscu-
lar power of contracting and stretch
ing, as necessity demands, and which
depends upon what is calledthe tonic
ity of the skin. AS years creep
along the muscles weaken and grow
lax, no longer holding the flesh up
firm and hard as before. All the
lines in the face droop therefore with
age, and the flesh has tendency TO
fall down in little ridges. Just the
same thing happens to the skin. 1t
loses its contracting power and re-
lakes. Then come the little wrinkles.
1t will be seen, then, that wrinkles
are due to changes in the constitution
of the skin itself. Anything that
acts as stimulant upon the skin,
keeping it active and so keeping up
the tone of the muscles, will tend to
prevent wrinkles. But even if they
do come, why should one be unhap-
by? They are as honorable as gray
hairs. They indicate thought as well
as years; they give character and
dignity to the expression. Freckles
and sunburn have had their day of
being fashionable. Why not wrink-
les? They are beautiful if we only
think so. HELEN WATTERsoN.

her whole outfit was worth over SIS,

But she would scorn to have them

because she knows they are much
better property than nine-tenths of

at is a fact that Hetty Green has

matter of clothes, but at the same
time she is not the parsimonlous

An Elk Grove wife has hit upon most effect
i've plan for curing her husband Of the staying
-night-and-card-playin habit.
Her husband had craving for gambling, and
preferred sitting up all night in saloon playing
cards to keeping his wife company at home.
The worst of it all was he couldn't win any
thing, and all the money that should have gone
to his family went to his gambling friends.
His wife, finding her entreaties unavailing,
took a six-pound can Of powder and pistol
and surprised her chubby" in the back room Of
a saloon at O'Clock in the morning. She set
the powder down near the table where he and Q
half dozen others we're playing cards, and, COW
ering the group with her pistol to prevent in
reference and hold the crowd while she made
speech, she made her recreant husband take q
solemn oath that he would never again gamble.
Then she made him repeat 1t under penalty of
blowing up the whole outfit by dropping Q
lighted match into the can Of powder.
The plucky and desperate little woman
efectually broke up the CANA.

How They Clear Trains Of Tramps on

How They Clear Trains Of Tramps on
Southern Roads.
From the Evening World.
The conductor on southern railroads are
greatly annoyed with tramps, most of whom
are negroes Of the indolent type of that race.
One night on a train on what is known a.
Sunset route was u typical southern conductor,
who had been a brigadier in the confederate
service. His train had been stopping frequently
between stations. A northern traveller, who
was becoming nervous, asked the general what
was the occasion. This was his answer:
"Niggah tramps infest the trains down here
very badly. They don't wait for the train to
STOP They are used to jumpin' on trains when
the trains are running at high speed. They
throw themselves with wonderful dexterity ON
the rear platform and quicker than can tell
you they swing themselves under the car and
get q lodgment on the axles of the car. The
only WAY to get them of is TO stop the train
and hunt them out. Sometimes we have to
shake them of" said he. according to an ex-
change. ''same a. you have to shake a coon
from tree. II we catch them before they
don't stop the train then"
''What do you do with them them"
"Just drop them, sab, while the train is in
motion Sometimes i wait till we get on
down grade and then we let them CO."
"Do you not sometimes kill one by that sort
Of thing?"
81 never stop . train to seq but as We are
never summoned before any coroner's jury, I
low we don't Mighty hard to kill . niggah
unless you hit him with the front edge of . To-
