How to Keep Away Wrinkles.

A great many earnest thinkers of a nervous temperament fall into the habit of scowling when they read, write, or talk seriously. This causes two little perpendicular lines to blow in between the eyes, and ages a face ten years. It is habit almost impossible to correct, once formed, as it is done unconsciously by many young people. A studious young woman, still in her early twenties, found herself the victim of this scowl, which had already made two fine hair lines in her brow. She set herself to work to cure the habit by setting the mirror before her face when she read, wrote, or studied; but as this attracted her attention from her work she finally placed a ribbon band tightly across her brow, tying it in knot at the back of her head, and at night she slept in the band. After several months the lines disappeared from her pretty forehead, and she is quite cured of the 1isfguring habit. Chicago Tribune.

WHEN MEN WORE LACE.


 That ''Happy Period" Was the Famous
 Restoration Era.
 The restoration era being essentially the age of ''the dangling knee fringe and the bib cravat," it was only natur- al that the stiff band and falling collar, which had been worn under the tyran- ny of Puritan ascendancy, should have given place to neclxcloths or cravats of Brussels or Flanders lace, tied with rib bons beneath the chin and with the ends hanging down square Tn this age of Puritan sobriety in dress it is difficult to comprehend the mania which seized the breasts of fine gentlemen of the Caroline age for lace.
 We find Pepys in 1869 putting on his thew lace band" and recording in his "Diary" his complete satisfaction with his appearance in it. So neat it is," wrote he, "that am resolved my great expenses shall be lace bands, and it will set off anything else the more" Charles H. in the last year of his reign actually expended 429 12s for new cravat to be 'worn on the birthday of his dear brother" and James IT. expended al- most as much as e30 upon a cravat of Venice point lace in which to appear on the anniversary of the birthday of his consort.
 King William III, notwithstanding his iron, phlegmatic constitution, en- tertained a genuine Dutch taste for lace, so much so, indeed, that his bills for that article in 1895 amounted to the modest sum of G2, 459 19s, a fad which would have served admirably to point the moral of the political reformer or to adorn the tale of the mob dema- gogue, had such people then existed. Among the more astounding items of this bill appears the following: "One hundred and seventeen yards of 'scissae tame,' cut work for trimming twelve pocket handkerchief, e4s5 14s, Sd. And seventy-eight yards for twenty-four cravats, at es los, e66s" The expendi- ture for six new lace razor cloths amounted to G270, and on twenty-f four new indusiis nocturnis-in plain En- glish, night shirts-the sum of G499 10s
 was bestowed.
 King Williams consort, the handsome Mary of Modena, approached, but did not quite reach, her husband in lace ex- penditure, seeing that in 1894 her lace
 bill attained the respectable total of e1,91S. It will not surprise any one to learn that lace had one of its sunniest epochs in the eyes of all from the resto- ! ration to the revolution. From the king to the plebeian all retained deep seated affection for it. These were the
 days when all young military men wore lace and prepared their cravats with \ far greater pains than the three graces | of classical antiquity ever bestowed up 1n the goddess Venus.-Chicago Mail.

garments of exactly the same cut and quality of material, feeling extremely smart and proud of themselves as they consider how stylish they look, how easily they might be taken for real swells. Then will society shed her cape in sheer disgust and wonder
 whether any of its pet garments will
 escape the contaminating touch of the people.
 But the new cape will scarcely be ap-
 propriated by everyone, for it is far too
 dainty and expensive a thing. I saw it all in brown, the cape proper, made of soft, fawny brown cloth, falling
 very slightly full, just below the hips.
 At the neck there was very high col
 lar of brown velvet, several shades
 deeper than the cloth, which length
 ened itself into a small collarette, plait- ed over the shoulders. Around the
 high collar was broad band of fine jet, and from the jet band, all around, fell loose pendants of jet, quite long, reaching half way down the cape, and
 finishing in narrow points and jet
 fringes. It looked very pretty.
 If you have not yet trimmed your Lenten hat, by all means purchase SOIhS pSblll o1 LISlAB IfkA SASSA INV OtAN genuine, unless you wish to replace it daily-and weave it in and around your ribbons, plumes or aigrettes. It looks very we'll, indeed, and you may put it on to suit yourself. Some now hats arc out that have small, fiat crowns and perfectly fiat brims. The crowns are always covered with velvet, which adds richness to the effect. With all the Jn .fS Sf edges, jeweled pins, aigrettes ant plumes just ready to tack on with a few stitches, ribbon bows made with just the necessary piquant air about them, fancy crowns and all the rest, all most anyone can trim a hat like a genuine milliner. In fact, the milliner
 has been at it before us, getting things into shape, and all we actually do is to
 bring the different elements into har- monious whole. All we need is some slight taste in selecting the shades and | deciding upon the dozen or more diff
 ferent objects which shall adorn the hat.
 Have you quantity of rare old lace that you wish to make use of? If you have enough of 1t, by all means make a \ lace gown, or partly-lace gown. Make the skirt of three founces of it, around the front very scant, and with plain silk or satin material at the back. The
 bodice may be plain, of the material ot the back, with simply a lace yoke, anG folds of lace in front beneath the yoke
 caught beneath pretty belt, high an6 pointed at the back, but in the front
 fulled and crossing, fastening at one
 side. Where your lace ruffles end al
 each side of the skirt, you must have
 pretty ribbon rosettes Your sleeve
 puffs may be of plain material, witt
 lace cuffs or none, and over your puff
 may fall pretty lace epaulets, whict
 run around the back in berthe.

sides of velvet to match, the back of cloth. The sleeves are of cloth, very slightly fulled and dropping at the shoulders very noticeably. It sounds most ordinary, but looks quite the op- posite.
 Then there is also the new cape. The cape will grow more and more puffed up, for it Will receive even more atten- tion this coming season than it has done all winter. Now that it will soon be too warm for the velvet and fur cape, the plain cloth one will begin to assert itself. And no sooner will this transpire than all womanlzind, even to the very lowest, will be able to ape the society woman and produce 8 garment that will by cour- tesy bear this name. For it will be such simple matter to initiate the mantles of the high danes. In winter it was not so easy, for although make shift for both fur and velvet was to be had at very little cost, it was still at too high a cost to come within the reach of all. And so the poor, envious creatures were obliged to cling to their coats. But the cloth cape is quite an- other thing. It will not be long before the streets will be plentifully besprin- kled with young and aspiring maidens from the lower ranks of life, all clad in

Present Fit for Royalty.

Perhaps the biggest and most costly wedding present ever given is now in course of manufacture. It takes the form of a massive silver table service ornamented with gold, and will accom- modate no fewer than sixty-eight per sons. There will be seven hundred and ninety-six plates and one hundred and thirty-one dishes, and each piece will bear the entwined monogram of the king and queen of Greece, who will re- ceive this magnificent gift jointly from the czar and czarina, the king and queen of Denmark, the prince and princess of Wales and the duke and duchess of Cumberland on the occasion of their silver wedding.

MORTALITY IN OLD LONDON
The Public Health Was Vory Bad There
 Then.

London in the eighteenth century
 was regarded as a devouring monster
 which drew to it's den the surplus
 country popula tion, and destroyed it.
 It appears, however, that Edinburgh
 was even worse, so far as the sacrifice
 of infant life was concerned; and if we
 can trust the register, Norwich had as large an excess of burials over christen-
 ings as the capital itself.
 At all events, there can be little
 doubt that London, for several genera tions after the plague and the fire, was
 very unwholesome city. Taking the
 deaths from the bills of mortality (which were, on the whole, trust worthy until the beginning of the pres ent century,, find that there were, in
 the thirteen years from 1853 to 1865, and inclusive of the great plague, 259, - S05, an annual average of 19,9 946. In the next thirteen years-1666 to 1878, in which there was only little plague at the start-the deaths were 233,S ,S73, an annual average of 17.o0O. From 1870 to 1891 they were 2s7, ,OsO, an annual average of 22, ,237. And, to take somewhat unfavorable section of the eighteenth century-the thirteen years from 171s to 173O-the deaths were 359,- 246, an annual average of 27,326.
 By that time the population had in- creased by about one-third from say the third quarter of the seventeenth cen tury. An incredible proportion of all the deaths was of infants under two years, and the health of men and wom-
 en was destroyed by drink and evil Eiv- ing.
 Usually the births were far below the
 deaths, and that, too, somewhat uni formly in all parts of the metropolis, including the city, the best propor tion of christenings to burials being in the west end parishes, which were counted in the city and liberties of Westmin- ster. It is difficult to believe that the public health was SO bad as that in the plague period itself. The mortality of the eighteenth century was silent" one, as the physician above quoted said. It was for the most part unperceived, ] except by statisticians. But it stands recorded in the figures, and it Is made intelligible or credible by the contem- porary accounts of how the poor lived. -Blackwood's Magazine.

have failed to flare to any considerable degree; they have remained within strictly proper bounds, so that we shall be quite safe in having the modestly daring skirt, even on the new costume. A very pretty way to make your com ing gown is to cut your plain skirt open at the left side, just enough to show an embroidered petticoat below in some plain, harmonizing or contrasting color. Make your bodice empire, have a V em- broidered just like petticoat, then the corselct plaitcd in fine folds at the shoul- der seam, drawn down both sides of the V in front, and disappearing under Q wide belt embroidered like the petti- coat and the vest. Have your under sleeves embroidered also.
 I have just seen most stunning spring coat. It is extremely striking with its perfectly straight lines. It has nothing but plain velvet yoke, edged by bit of fanciful passementerie, from which falls the cloak proper, straight, without a fold, to the feet, front and sides.

QUEER PETS FOR A WOMAN.


Elfty Spiders Kept in Her Bedroom by
 Mrs. Rice, A PIucky PennsyIvanian. A Pennsylvania woman, Mrs. M. E. Rice, keeps spiders as pets. The other day she sent to the national bureau of entomology cocoon containing eggs, which was spun by a handsome arachnid with striped legs and reddish body. This creature, which is of a species that makes a funnel-shaped web, she de- scribes as being very tame.
 "For months,'' she said to Washing ton Star reporter, ''it has lived over my bed, allowing me to examine it. When it began to get uneasy I placed 1t in a box, where it spun beautiful covering for its eggs. I am very partial to spiders, and never destroy one nor its web unless am compelled to do so. In my own room let them have full sway. There are probably fifty spiders there now and they never molest me. I find them all over the bed clothes. believe the stories of their poisonous bites to be largely exaggerated. Where live we have many large black spiders. found one of them curled up under my baby's neck one morning."
 She does not mention how Mir. Rice enjoys this sort of thing.
 A Frenchman, Rev. P. Camboue, has recently been making some experiments with the silk spun by spiders. His efforts were specially directed to study Ing the work of certain large arachnid of Madagascar. From one spider of this species he obtained in twenty-seven days more than four thousand yards of silk. The silk was of golden yellow color. However, 1t is not likely that any practicable plan will ever be dis covered for making commercial use of the silk of spiders, inasmuch as they cannot be prevented from gobbling each other up when a number of them are | kept together

A NIIsused Word.

The word printer" appears to be one of the most simple and explicit words in the English language. In the die tionaries it is defined as meaning lone who prints" and it seems hardly possi- ble that any one should apply it in any other way, and yet we constantly see this word misused. and that, too, in printing trade journals Those who set type are referred to as printers" and those who run presses are referred to as ''pressmen." It is ridiculous to call compositor printer, although there might be some sense in applying the term to O pressman. However, the word really covers the whole work both of the compositor and pressman, and would have its fullest meaning when applied to man who can set type and run press, too; but if the word can be applied at all to a man who can only do one of these things it surely should be applied to the pressman, as it Is he who prints.
