Feiter's Gror,ou. Trip to Germany.

Once rpon time a German Amer
lean named Felter was keeper of the
senate restaurant. During a congress
sional vacation he concluded to visit
his relatives in Germany. and naturally
applied to Jim Christy. the deputy
sergeant-at-arms, for transportation
across the ocean. In due time the de-
sired passes were forthcoming, and
Felter pocketed them in high glee. A
few weeks later he packed his trunks
and started for Hoboken, where he en-
barked on board of one of the German
line steamers. Felter showed his pa
pers to the captain, anc was at once
received with open arms. lie was as
signed to the best stateroom on the
vessel and his cabin was loaded with
flowers. He had the post of honor Mt
the table, and the finest casks in the
stewards larder were cracked for his
benefit.
In fact, he was treated as IL ne was
some great hero, or man of prominence,
instead of an ordinary restaurateur.
of course, Felter could no. understand,
but he took all that was offered. and
made the best of the EQUATION. Finally
the destination of the vessel was
reached, and the passengers were
landed. Our friend from the senate res
taurant found a delegation of the prin-
cipaia and municipal authorities
on hand to meet him. The mayor
seized him cordially by the hand and
insisted that Felter mast make his
home with him during his stay. His
establishment increased, but he ac-
cepted all without asking Questions,

Prenafrre Wrinkles.

America skins wrinkle early IN life
and show an early tendency 10 shrink
into innumerable fine lines and burrows
In view of this disposition, women are
vigorously discussing some sensible,
healthful preventive.
Wrinkles about the eyes are finer and
usually less conspicuous than those
around the mouth. And they are re-
sultant from widely different condi-
tons. Melancholy. trouble, an unGra-
cious disposition and the fret and wear
of busy or continuous life, tend to
crease the flexible cheeks, but have
naught to do with the eyes. II is on
this discovery that lines are laid for
present discussion.
American women, so goes the argu-
ment. take too little care of their optics
They rush from extremes of light and
darkness SO many times day that the
strain would inevitably cause the eyes
to shrink, a sure chance for wrinkles
They wear hats that rarely shade, ana
they read by the last CULVER OF day
light. But the two items dwelt upon
with most significance are the wearing
of cross barred and dotted wells. and
unfortunately dwelling in dark apart
uents common TO city folks, where the
eyes are strained in the pursuit of or
binary work
English women do not contend with
an incessant glare of binding sunlight.
The French have more facial lines than
Americans for their skin is flexible.
Again they screw up their eyes when
talking, more than their sisters across
the channel do, who have a reputed re-
pose of face.
This same fault I should also claim
for our women. They are vivacious in
speech, and therefore more energetic
in the use of their features. Watch
an English woman and an American
woman talking The former Will fix
her eyes placidly upon the others face
and talk in even monotones. The latter
will raise her eyebrows dozen or so
times. draw them closely together. drop
her lids, etc.
Regarding a cure, the first thing TO
adopt is perfect repose in talking NO.
other is SO successful foe 70 wrinkles
on any portion OF the face. The next
step is TO wear plain wells. and when
reading or writing hurTiedly never con-
slider it to troublesome to lift the.black
film away from the eyes. Then avoid
sudden transitions from one degree OF
light 10 another. This carefulness. with
continual massage delivered by two
fingers on the ids and brow will abol-
ish or prevent wrinkles. and give an ex-
preston that would be as reposeful
as the much abused gaze Of Jersey

CRANKY FOOLS AND DISHONEST.

1t is the argument of last resort
when the disputant attacks the char
acter and motive of his adversary.
This is the common custom of the
goldites-in fact the stock argument
in defense of a single standard. The
facts of history are cast to the winds,
and all logic favorable to the use of
silver is treated as superfiuous. They
rest their case by denominating its de
tenders as cranks, fools and fanatics.
This may be the easy way of pump
ing wind into their sinking craft, but
they are too far from land TO resort to
temporary eXpedients. There are mil
lions of voters outside of the White
House and Wall street who are equally
capable to formulate policy of re-
lief from the hard conditions which
these doctors of finance have laid upon
them. There is a difference between
being crank in fact, and standing
for the rights of something like 30 per
cent of the people.
