Character Revealed by Wrinkles.

From the Scranton Tribune.
An Italian scier fist, NJ. Montegazzo, has
written an essay upon the science of
wrinkles. He believes ones history can be
largely told by the lines upon the face
Entering into a description of the different
varieties and their meanings, he says:
Horizontal lines across the forehead are
found even in children who are ricketts, or
idiots, and that being out in the sun with
the eyes unshaded will produce them pre-
maturely, but they are natural at forty or
earlier. Vertical lines between the eyes
denote thought and study. since deep con-
centration contracts the eyebrows, grief
and worry produce the same effect. and,
frequently repeated, either leaves a per-
manent fold in the skin. Arched wrinkles
just above the nose Indicate extreme suf-
fering, either mental or physical The
earliest wrinkles of all and the most un-
avoidable are those which run from either
side of the nostril down to the mouth, and
these are produced by smiling and even
the motion Of the jaws I'm masticating-a
warning TO gum-chewers!

Why sleep Lcngthens Life.

From the Scranton Tribune.
Sleep as a prolonger Of life is upheld by
a curious calculation which appeared In u
medical work on the digestive organs and
faculties The duration of human life may
be ascertained by the pulsations of the
body. Say a man lives to seventy years,
his heart beating sixty to the minute, the
pulsations in that time foot up to 2,2o7,-
$4,000. If, by intemperarce, or any other
cause, he raises pulsation to seventy five
a minute, the same number OF pulsations
would be finished in ffty-six years. And
the number Of pulsations is less In
sleeping than In a waking state. IL stands
to reason that a long sleeper has much bet
ter prospect OF a long life than a person
who is satisfied with short maps. Napo.

tain old age. Gen. Butler. who could sleep
at will, rounded out a good. ripe sheaf OF

Tired and Dtsgusted.

The members of the police trial board,
tired and disgusted have firally concluded
the task Of taking testimoIN, in the case of
Lieut.. Gessford against Sergt Daley. The
testimony will probably make two hundred
typewriter pages, and includes much mat
ter which has no bearing on the charge
made. Considerable time of the board was
spent hearing evidence concerning the
character of witnesses, and considerable
side talk was INDUCED in. At the closing
session yesterday members of the board
showed that they were tired of the pro-
ceedings when a witness who appeared
knew no more than did some of the others
and then 1t was that Lieuts. Heffner and
Swindels gave vent to their feelings. The
testimony Is now all in, and the officers in
terested in the case will now have an op-
portunty to do some street duty and pro-
tect life and property.

To Strengthen the Lungs aud Chest.
From tn. Scranton Tribune.
Each morning after the bath, stand erect
feet together, shoulders back, arms
straight down, and take twenty-five full,
deep treaths Better begin with fifteen
the first week. then gradually increase I'M
til you can take fifty. BY that time the
lungs will be stronger and the chest will
begin to expand. Then throw the shoulders
firmly back until the blades almost meet,
take a full, deep breath, and make the
rotary withthe shoulder joint that is made
in rowi.g, and repeat this several times.
Then move the shoulders and arms back
ward in regular motions until the elbows
are only a. few inches apart. Try these
exercises only a few times at first then
increase until hundred motions or more
may be taken without fatigue.

OLD IRONSIDES.

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout;
And burst the cannon's roar
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more
He deck, once red with heroes blood
Where dwelt the vanquished foe.
When winds We're hurrying Ger the
flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread
Or know the conquered knee
The harpies of the shore shall pluch
The eagle of the sea!
Oh, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

RILEY AND POE.

WhitcOmb Riley, early in his career,
met with the experience common to
young authors, particularly writer's of
verse. Believing that his productions
would have been well received had
they been written by an author al
ready famous, he decided to test his
belief by producing poem in imita-
ton of Edgar A. Poe and publishing
it as a newly discovered manuscript
of that author. The result was Leon
ainie," written upon the fy-leaf of a
worn copy of Ainsworths Latin die
tionary.
This poem was first printed in the
Kokomo Qnd) Dispatch by arrange
ment with the proprietor, J. o. Hen
derson, now auditor of Indiana, who
had full knowledge of the facts con-
nected with this literary hoax. 1t
was extensively copied and 80 clever
was the imitation that American and
English reviewers and even an emf
nent authority like Edmund Stedman
pronounced it genuine, and when the
name of the real author was dis
closed, Stedman still maintained that
the poem was unquestionably written
by Poe.
This poem was Whitcomb Riley's
introduction to the world of letters.
His work had merit which the world
was willing to concede. The follow
ing is the poem in full:
LEONAINIE.
Leonainie-angels named her;
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed heI
In a smile of white;
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes of bloomy
Moonshine, and they brought hel
to me
In the solemn night
In a solemn night of summer,
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner
Like a rose in bloom;
All forebodings that distressed me
l forgot as Joy careSSed me-
Uying JOY! that caught ani
pressed me
| In the arms of doomD
Only spake the little lisper
In the angel-tongue;
Yet /, listening, heard her whisper
"SOngs are only sung
Here below that they may grieve
Tales but told you to deceive you
So must LeOnainie leave you
| While her love is young
Then God smiled and it was morning
Matchless and supreme,
Heavens glory seemed adorning
| Earth with it's esteem,
Every heart but mine seemed
gifted
With the voice of prayer, and
lifted
Where my Leonainie drifted
| From me like a dream.

FEEDING VALUES.-Therc is but
little difference in the feeding value
of fine wheat feed, such as wheat
middlings, and the coarser feeds or
brans. Many wheat brans on the
market are simply the coarse brans
1eground. This is done because
there is a popular prejudice against
the coarse, husky appearing brans.
One of three samples sent by b. III.
Mclean belongs to that class. From
the small number of digestion expert
ments made in this country, it ap-
pears that middlings are somewhat
more digestible than bran, and for
this reason would be more valuable.
When bIans can be bought for from
81 to So per ton less than the price
of middlings. they are without doubt
the cheaper and better food for milch
cows There is considerable differ
ence in the manurial value of wheat
bran which contains an average of
Al lbs of nitrogen, 60 of phosphoric
acid, and 81 of potash, while mid
dlings average IL, 50 and IA lbs re-
spectively.-PrOf. G. S. Phelps.

Statements as to the Good Results
of Its Use in Other Countries

statements as 10 the GOOu Results
of Its Use in Other Countries.
DR.. E. o. Shakespeare of Philadel
phia, who has recently returned from
Paris and Berlin. where he has been
devOting some time to the study of
the newly discovered treatment fol
diphtheria, says that the use of diph,
therine, the name given to the mate
rial, had lowered the mortality from
diphtheria in those cities fully fifty
per cent The Press reports him as
adding:
Deaths from this desease are now
scarcely half the number in any Civ
Ell period that they were previous to
its use. Diphtherine is made from an
artificial culture of the diphtheria ba-
cillus. This is injected into the goat
or horse. both of which enjoy natural
immunity from diphtheria and tuber-
culosis. Inoculating this animal a
number of times with this culture
creates an artificial immunity against
diphtheria- After this is established
the animal is bled and an extract of
his blood is made, which is found to
have curative virtues for diphtheria
in human beings. The portion of the
blood used is the serum, and hypo-
dermic injection of a fraction of a
centimetre of this diphtherine has the
result, as has been shown conclusive
ly in Paris and Berlin hospitals, of
dividing the mortality-that is to say,
it is scarcely half what it was under
other treatment.
"Diphtherine is also successfully
used as a preventive. For instance,
If a case occurs in house, all the
members of the family are inoculated
and the spread of the disease is
stopped.
"The principal reason we have not
used it here is that it is a new discov-
cry. 1t was discovered about three
years ago, and has been in use in
Berlin about one year and in Paris
about two years.
Reports upon diphtherine and it's
use We're made before the recent Hy-
gienic congress at Budapest by DIR.
ROuX of the Pasteur institute, Paris.
DIR. LOeff1er of the University of
Greufswald, who discovered the ba-
cilllls tuberculosis. and DR.. Behring
of the Institute for Contagio and
Infectious Diseases in Berlin, who is
the discOyerer of the curative proper
ties of this serum. 1t is common
law of medicine that the serum form
of blood of an animal which has been
rendered immune from a disease is
a specific for that disease. This is
so in diphtheria, cholera, and tetanus.
1t is also said to be true Of typhoid
fever, and it has been found to be a
general law in contagious and infec-
tious diseases that the blood serum of
an animal that has had such disease,
either artificially or naturally, is
specific for that disease. Experiments
have not gone far enough, however,
to determine about scarlet fever
