Exercise Of the Facial Muscles.

One consequence of the full exercise
of all the facial muscles and of the
trophic results of varying emotions is
a remarkable interference with the
time records which are usually so
visible on the human face. In fact,
most actors maintain a someYhat
boyish aspect until late in life,
although the suggestion of callow i'm
maturity is at times rather startlingly
+contradicted by the expression of the
eye. In ladies who adopt the stage
as a profession a true youthful ap-
pearance IS, as a rule, much better
maintained. 1t must remain a very
puzzling fact that an actress life
should be more favorable to the pre-
servation of good looks, and even of
girlish freshness, than the life led by
women who occupy their natural
sphere, and who cultivate (as they
think all physical and moral virtues.
A successful actress must work ex-
tremely hard, generally by artificial
light. and in a gas-befonled at
mosphere. Her hours for work, meals
and sleep are all utterly bad from the
hygienic point of view; and not in
frequently she makes bad worse by
falling into those bohemian habits
which are an immemorial tradition of
her class. Her secret, apart from the
laws regulating the expression and
nutrition of the face above stated,
consists chiefly of avoidance of mo-
notony and petty worries-those arch
enemies of feminine good looks and
good temper. Her work. if arduous,l
is generally performed both with
earnestness and lightness OF heart;
and above all, she gets sufficiency
of bodily exercise of the kind although
not under the conditions most exclu-
sive to health-viz., exercise involving
quick and general movements of the
muscle, combined with a certain
amount of mental excitement. .-Popu-

College Notes.

Rev. Mr.. Marvin and wife visited us
Wednesday.
The farmers are almost as thick as the
students this week.
Instructor Stanley Long taks great
pride in his type-writing class.
Rev. Oviatt gave us a short talk on
"Christianity" Thursday morning.
Monday morning Rev. A. P. McDon-
aid greeted us with a short address on
college life.
What is the the matter with this?
229 farmers and their wives have placed
their names on our register.
1t surely must be very encouraging to
the faculty to see so many farmers at
tending their three weeks OF lectures.
The thaw has given us chance to fill
in the steam pipe ditch to the new build
ing, as the dirt froze late last fall before
the ditch could be filled.
We have had many visitors this week
from the farmers. We think they will
watch us closer III the future, for it was
surprising to them to see what we were
doing,
The president has been over on the
sound nearly all the week with the re-
gents looking at a piece OF land that has
been donated for west side experiment
station, at Puyallup.
Thursday we spied man dressed IN
the e. of l. uniform looking over our
grounds and buildings, but he did not
leave his name for us so we suppose he
was investigating to see if our farmers
school was a failure as it was reported
theirs was.

The bringing of gun into these alter

them to stand by the president and lay
aside party feeling and aid in passing a

a canvass OF the senate by several sena-
tors and they point out that antl-sllYer
men are in the minority. The canvass
shows AZ for free coinage OF silver and 50

THE NUMBER IS 1875.
The Attendance at the Farmers School
Reaches That Number,
Interesting Program Arranged for the
Last Week of the Session.

The success OF the "Winter School for
Farmers" has surpassed the fondest
hopes OF its most enthusiastic support
ers, and the attendance has increased
till on Thursday 1876 farmers were en-
rolled. One hundred and ninety-six of
the progressive til ers of Washington
soil have gained much scientific and
practical information, and the influence
of that information will be felt in their
work through the years to come, and we
doubt not that every one of them will
attend the school another winter. Pres,
Bryan and his co-workers deserve great
credit for the enthusiasm and success
with which they have carried on this
work, and it is certain that they COM
prehend the full meaning of an "agri-
cultural college college and school of SCI
ence." Below is the program for the

CARL BROWNE AND BRIDE.
Together They Are on Honey
moon Tramp.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 9O.-Carl
Browne, the chief lieutenant of the
CoXey commonweal army, who aroused
public attention a few weeks ago by
marrying the daughter of his late COM
mander, is in the city, accompanied
by his BRIDE. They are on their honey
moon trip, which Browne declares is
a royal one. When the couple were
married they did not have a nickel
between them. CoXey, who was enter
tanning Browne at his home near Can
ton, turned them out of doors Browne
borrowed % cents to take them to Can
ton. There H. w. Kircn, chairman of
the Peoples party, entertained them
for three days. By easy stages they
reached Pittsburg, stopping at all the
large towns along the route Browne
gives religious lectures, and at each
town has managed to earn enough
to take them to the next place. At
Salem the mayor attempted to freeze
the couple out of the town, but Browne
secured the use of some private prop
erty, to which he attracted a crowd,
and delivered his lecture He seemed
to be proud of Mamie, who evidently
reciprocates the affections of her honey
boy. Browne will join other command
ers in Washington, July T. at least
that is his intention.
