Adhesive plaster ought to be the best pro
durable, and instead Of keeping it in roll
in the drawer it ought to be cut into strips
Of different breadths. 1t is thus ready for
immediate use, and there is no chance OF its
sticking together as it does if kept i'll bulk.
When it is necessary to use this plaster to
keep the edges of the wound together, we
must be careful first and foremost to see
that the wound is perfectly clean and that
no sand, glass or grit is in it, which would
cause festeringand prevent it from healing.
Never cover ii wound wholly up with d
piece of plaster Whatever kc its size, use
long, narrow strips. Warm the plaster by
holding the back of itaSainst II can Of boil
ing water for y. few seconds, then apply it
across the wound, leaving 4 small space be
tween each strip to give exit TO the lymph.
Remember that sticking plaster has nc
healing action in itself, and the benefits de
rived from its use axe OF Il purely mechanical
nature Popular Science News concludes
this advice On the treatment OF cuts by say
ing that clean cuts are better bound up with
the blood, simply with Il linen rag, for

UNT!MElY WRINKLES.
Things That Hasten the Coming OF These
Little Scouts of Advancing Age.


Things That Hasten the Coming Of These
Little Scouts of Advancing Age.
Every woman breads her wrinkles, 1t Is
said, and on that theory the following from
Harper's Bazaar concerning their cause ana
prevention is sure to claim feminine, II not
masculine, attention. Every man, we are
assured, has an inchoate sensation that he
has but to command and all should be Sc
rene But with woman it is necessarily
otherwise. Her general appearance is
matter of consequence to her and not. by
any means, always on account OF lgnob!e
reasons.
There are numberless causes OF these
undesired wrinkles. but none of them is
more potent than the very simple one of
undue facial expression. The lively wem-
an who lifts her eyebrows perpetually VIII
find that her habit has produced number
less long lines running across her forehead;
who laughs, lifting the muscles that close
the eyes. will have innumerable crows feet
at the corners and fine lines as many be
meath the lower lids; who expresses her dis
dain. her dislike, her i'll temper too freely
Oh her countenance will have respondent
and disagreeable lines curving from the
corners of the mouth down the chin as
we'll as n deep cut frown and parallel lines
on the brow The woman who frowns from
petulance Or from the effort TO see will have
the repelling perpendicular rift in the fore
head Just above the nose, and the moping
and melancholy woman will have the marks
Of her moping engraved on her face.
One very fertile cause of wrinkles is the
endeavor to see without glasses when the
time n call imam the services of heSe use
full friends has arrived, the effort making
continual gathering of skin and muscle
in directions which presently become per-
manent. Almost equally fertile are the
habits of reading by feeble light, Of al
lowing the sun to shine in the face and daz-
zle the eyes, or the wind to blow in them
and inhamc them, for nature will care for
the eyes herself and do her best to protect
them with the thing nearest at hand, which
is the skin, and straiGhtWay comes the
wrinkle.
Another sad source Of the trouble is the
loss of teeth, for no artificial teeth can hold
in permanent position the external muscles
above the roots Of the teeth. But now that
the dentists art has become equal to the
preservation of tooth in almost any stage,
that reason for wrinkle is III great meas
urc averted.
Of course time must at last do its telling
work. The muscle will cease to take its
nourishment, viii relax, will loosen. The
wrinkle will follow. But the refusal to en-
terrain worry and anxiety and the promo
ton of serenity and calmness will do great
deal toward giving the face Il youth which
is phenomenal, but which ought to be per

1 THE OPEN. SWITCH.

All the sum mer, early and late,
And in the autumn drcar,
A maiden stood ct the orchard gate
And waved at the engineer.
He liked to look at her face so fair.
And her homely country dress:
She liked to look at the man up there
At the front of the fast express.
There's only fash of the maiden's eye,
As the engine rocks and reels,
And then she hears in the distance die
The clnkety, clini. of wheels.
CIinkety. clink; so far apart
That nothing she can hear
Save the clink of her happy heart
To the heart OF the engineer. :
Over the river and down the dell,
Beside the running stream,
She hears the sound of the engine bell
And the whistles mad ming scream.
Clinkety, clfnk; there's an open switch,
Kind angels. hide her eyes!
Clinkcty, clink; they're in the ditch.
Oh, hear the means and cries.
Clinkety, clink, and down the track
The train will dash today.
But what are the ribbons Of white and BLACK
Tho engine wears away?
CIinkety, clink. Oh, worlds apart, q go
The fireman hangs his head;
There is no clink in the maiden's heart
The engineer is dead.

Duty. Then Pleasure.

Mr.. Nasmyth, the inventor of the steam
hamper. once said: IF l were to try to
compress into one sentence the whole of
the experience of an active and successful
life and offer it to young men as a rule
and certain recipe for success in any sta
ton, it would be comprised in this; Duty
first; pleasure second From what l have
seen of y21ng men and their after progress,
am satisfied that what is generally termed
bad fortune ill luck and misfortune is,
in nine cases out of ten. simply the result
of invertng this simple maxim. My own
experience convinces me that absence OF
success arises in the great majority of cases
from want of self denial and want of com
mon sense The worst maxim of all max
inns is. Pleasure first; work and duty sec

SECTARIAN INTOLERANCE

Some time ago the people of Warren
county, Illinois, decided to build new
county court house, and measures to
that end were at once inaugurated. The
matter of laying the cornerstone with
appropriate ceremonies was naturally
enough placed in the hands of the local
bar, who in turn invoked the aid of the
Masonic fraternity, with its beautifully
impressive and appropriate ritualistic
ceremony, for the occasion. All went
well for time and until the program
was about perfected. when one of the
local churches raised kick and threat
ems to upset the whole business. 1t is
hard to understand how, in this ad-
vanced and enlightened age, wise people
can act so otherwise; how the fearful
advocate of sweet charity can exhibit
such fierce intolerance. If it had been
the cornerstone of some church, or de-
school, there might have
been some ground for a modest protest,
but when it is court house-a non-p
tisan. undenominational temple of JUS
tice-why should not the lawyers take
the initiative and invite to their assist
ance and to conduct the ceremonies the
ancient and honorable order of Masons:
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-01-30
THE INDIANS AND STATEHOOD.

The plea set up by the opponents of
single statehood for Oklahoma and the
Indian territories, that to include the
five tribes on the east would be to vio-
late treaty obligations on the part of the
government, which provide that the In
dian lands shall never be attached to or
become part of any state or territory
without the consent OF the Indians,
is simply plea in avoidance. 1t is
not proposed to incorporate the five
tribes in the proposed state over their
protest. The fact is, the Indians do not
manifest or express any determined op-
position, but so far as expression is had
they rather favor statehood for the
whole territory. The opposition that
comes from the Indian country is from
white men who have scinched them
selves onto the Indians and have worked
them and are still working them for
their own personal pecuniary advantage.
This opposition is not entitled to be con-
sidered and ought not to be in settling
the question, unless it be used as an ad-
ditional argument, which in fact it is,
in favor of single statehood and at the
earliest practicable moment. The In
dians are the greatest losers by delay.
Nor can they afford separate statehood,
