A Pretty Face.

Take the case ofa lovely human face,
says writer in the Sunday Magazine
It may be asked, "What can science say
about this without detr4cting from its
charm ?" If beauty were only skin deep,
we might dread her interference here.
But science says that beauty is not skin
deep. She can tell you that half the
charm Of that face-at least the ex-
pression-is a matter Of little muscles
and complex labyrinth of nerves. That
the curves of the lips, the glance Of the
eyes, the drOop Of their lids, are matter
of the prevalent use ofeertain small mus
cles in obedience to a prevalent aspect
OF the mind. Moreover, that the use Of
these organs Of expression has come
down long ancestral lines, and that the
mould Of the features themselves is a
question Of heredity. "What is life?7
is question with which men have puz-
zled themselves in vain from all time.

Setting a Hen.

Select the finest hens for breeding
Avoid those showing the slightest trace
Of sickness or the effects of disease
Eggs from fat hens, molting hens, imma-
ture pullets or hens in a yard with a cock
having a frosted comb will not give
good results. Fowls having a strong,
bright eye and active are most desirable
Chicks from year old fowls grow faster,
mature earlier and feather more rapidly
than those from younger stock. If pull
lets are TO be bred from. they should be
mated to a mature cock.
Begin to set hens as early in the sea
son as possible. The evening is the best
time. Do not be in too great haste in
giving her the eggs. Try her first with a
few eggs TO see if she is content in hei
new quarters. Whatever receptacle Is
used for the nest it should be painted
with tar or thoroughly soaked with ker-
osene. Have the nest fiat on the ground
if possible; if not, place sod or layer
of soil three or four inches deep in the
box. Sprinkle wood ashes or air Stacked
lime over this and put in clean fresh
straw or hay. DIs. the hen aud nes.
thoroughly with fresh insect powder.
Vermin multiply with great rapidity un-
der a setting hen, and the warfare
against them must commence in the
stlrt.
If possible, the setting hens should
have room to themselves while set.
ting. The time hen should be allowed
to be absent from the nest varies some
what, according to the weather. If very
cold quarter of an hour is sufficient
but in the summer half an hour is not
too long. Provide dust box well sup
piled with hard coal ashes and dirt.
Give fresh food and water every day.

ReligI ous, Not Pious.

Rev. Rowland Hill was a witty and
eccentric minister, and several inter
esting stories are told concerning him,
among them these:
A man was one day calling upon him
and setting forth some very peculiar
religious views
"Do you hold the Ten Commandments
to be the rule of life for Christians ?'
asked Mr.. Hill.
Certainly moi" was the reply.
The minister rang the bell, and when
the servant appeared he said to him:
"John, show this man 70 the door and
keep your eye on him until he is beyond
the reach of every article Of wearing ap-
parel in the hall"
One Sabbath several persons entered
his chapel to avoid the falling rain.
MANY persons are to be blamed for
making their religion coat" said Mr..
Hill, "but do not think those are much
better who make it an umbrella. Rams

Victims of Fools Gold.

Stretched fat on his stomach on the
gravelly walk in front Of the east en-
trance to the Mining building, with his
nose within one inch of the ground, lay
a small boy last Sunday. Around hi IA
were-as subsequent investigation show
ed-One brother, his mother, two sisters,
one cousin, one aunt and one grandmoth-
er. The brother and sisters we're scat
tered around in positions somewhat
similar 10 the youthful hero of this story.
Their noses were equally close to the
ground. The Olfaetory appendages be-
longing to the elder members of the
party were as near to mother earth as
thei- half sqlatting, half-sitting posture
permitted. Each and every member of
this aggregation was busy-busy scratch
ing gravel. With infinite care every
inch Of ground was inspected, and every
once in a while an exultant cry Of got
some from one individual would spur
the others on 70 renewed exertions.
One bystander finally went TO the small
boy and queried
"What are you looking for, son ?'
Gold, Was the sententious answer.
Found any p"
Yep"
Slowly he opened his tightly closed
left hand and exhibited half a dozen
grains Ofiron pyrites, worth about cents
a pound.
All of which is but history under a
modern guise. When the earth gave up
its yellew treasure hals a century ago
many man dug for gold and thought he
found it; many an aircastle was wrecked
when the bags of s0immering dust turn
ed out to be fools gold"-iron pyrites.
And there are stories current in the far
west that when some Of the castles fell
they bu led their builders beneath the
ruins Chic1g0 Tribune.

Dangers of Dancing.

The medical authority Of the New
York HcraiFs European edition argues
that modern dancing in close and crowd
ed parlors and bathrooms is very unde-
sirable in a hygienic point Of view.
This authority says; physicians are
unanimous in condemning dancing as it
is understood al present; but II might
be made hygienie exercise if 1t were
executed in the open air and in the
daytime, and if the amount Of the exer-
else was in proportion to the strength
Of the dancers"
After bail it is quite common to find
that many delicate young women show
signs OF disturbed heart-action. or Of
laryngitis, colds, bronchitis and some
times pneumonia and pleurisy. In all
cases Of consumption dancing should be
rigidly forbidden, as it may cause the
disease To assume a rapid form Of fatal
development. In cardiac troubles also
indulgence in dancing is likely to prove
very dangerous. The Hsrqids medical
correspondent says:
It is scarcely necessary to refer to tie
dust of all kinds, to the innumerable
microbes that the dancers send flying
into the air, nor need we speak Of the
untimely strain imposed on the organism
which at time when it ought to be at
rest is, on the contrary, oyerexcited.
What greater mistake than the midnight
supper, at which the most unwholesome
things are eaten and drunk The guests
bolt in a very short time food that is
generally heavy and washed down with
strong wines, and this is scarcely over
before the dancing is resumed against the
most elementary rules Of common sense
and hygiene. Nor is this all it is not
the body alone that is concerned, as the
mind has its share in this fatigue by the
vivid emotions produced by the con-
versatiOn, music and flowers.

His Future.

The boy was all right, notwilh-
stanging his girly curls and a fond
mother who was deathly afraid he was
going to become coarse and vulgar and
in other respects masculine. One day 4
gentleman calling at the house engaged
him in conversation.
"Well, my boy" he said, after some
time, what are you going to do when
YOU grow up?"
The boy studied the question a mo-
ment.
Really" he replied at last, Il don't
know. l suppose ought to be a man,
but from the way mamma IS handling
me I'm almost afraid I'm going to be a
lady. ."-D,froa Free Press.

A Famous Woman MoonshIner.

Information reached this city through
a southern detective yesterday that
Mallie Miller, the woman moonshiner, Of
Polk county, Tennessee. died few days
ago at her home in the mountains.
Her operations at one time were car
ried on very extensively, and she was at
the head Of gang which was involved
in more bloody 6gh.c sith revenue Of
iiceis than ans other organized IN the
south. Her first experience was in the
mountains Of Sewer county. where she
assisted her fsther, sam Miller Here
Deputy Marshal Mcpherson led raid
under a guide who had a grudge sgainst
Miller. In sn almost inaccessible gorge
the officers encountered the moon
sinners.
A bloody fight followed, and three Of
the revenue men were killed, the others
retreating. Il was noticed that a young
girl vas one Of the party. and it has al
ways been believed that she killed one
Of the officers. Another raid was made,
in which Miller WAS killed and his as
sOeiates captured. About this time the
revenue officer received box containing
the remains of the man who had inform
ed upon the gang. There was nothing
TO indicate from whom it came, and the
box must have been carried by a wagon
and left at the msrshal's house.
Tho vuon,.r ,,ras r,.,f E,r,rN orI = xraa
soon known that she had fed. In few
months Polk county, which had always
furnished considerable Illicit whisky, be-
came the headquarters of the mOonshin-
ers throughout east Tennessee, and raid
followed raid until there was scarcely a
cave on the Hiawassee river that had not
been the scene Of some bloody fight be-
tween the mOonshiners and revenue
men.
1t became known that this woman was
a leader, but she was never arrested but
once, and then the proof was such that
she escaped with light sentence. After
the Knoxville Southern railroad was
built the country became too easy of
access, and, with the exception of an
occasional petty offender, the gang was
broken up. The woman moonshiner
retired to a small firm where she re-
manned undisturbed, except at two CT
three times, when she was taken to Chat
tanOOga as a witness, when she would
collect her fees and start on a walk over
the mountains, a distance Of 80 miles to
her home.
1t is supposed that the killing Of three
revenue officers and four or five inform
ers can be charged TO her directly, while
the gang Of which she was a member
could be held accountable for several
Others, but it was never possible to prove
these charges and she died without ever
having been tried for them" Cincinnati

And sat on an onion bed:
