five would prevent wrinkles we must
make up our minds to take life very
easily and never to be much amused or
much troubled. We frown and fret, we
laugh and cry, and these everyday ac-
tions bring wrinkles round the eyes
and mouth. Getting cross or constantly
giving way to temper will make the
| wrinkles come in short time. Nine.
Patti never allows herself to get cross.
If she feels cross and it is due to the
presence of some one near her she al
ways leaves the room until this feeling
has passed away.
One of the most common ways OK
producing wrinkles is 70 eat too much.
The skin of the cheeks and stomach
gets so diStended that when it tries to
get back to its original proportions it
finds that it has lost the power.
Another way of making wrinkles is the
way in which we wash and dry our
faces and rub our eyes after crying.
We rub our faces in all directions with
rough towel, and in that way stretch
the skin. We should wipe the face
carefully with a soft towel, and never
rub it from the corners of the eyes near
the nose toward the ears or we shall
have Il fresh crop of crows feet. Good
soap, pure water, fresh air, moderate
and simple diet are the best cosmetics
| one can use. A little almond oil rubbed
over the wriBkles will help smooth
them out. Pass the fingers dipped in
oil from the outer corners of the eyes
toward the nose. The eyes should never
be rubbed when waking but sponged
with fresh water, in order to keep
wrinkles from appearing round the cor

they decided what to do; and when Mr.
and Mrs. Hadley, on the edge of the
crowd, saw Philip and Sara making
their way on the platform after the cell
ebration, they were much astonished.
"Please, sir, my sister thought she
told you that Jack wasn't soldier"
said Philip, when the pair, holding each
others hands, stood before the gentle
man. 81 think Jack would have made
good soldier" he added, quickly,
wishing his hearer to know that the
flowers had not been bestowed, even
mistakenly, on an unworthy character.
"We're sorry, and We'll bring the gen.
erals wreath back right away"
"Ah, not soldier?" said their friend,
recognizing the children after puz-
zled stare. MAY 1 ask who Jack was ?"
"He was our donkey" answered Phil
ip and Sara together; and the hearty
fit of laughter that followed this dis
closure drove away the children's fear.

was listening, with fattering interest.
to the story of Jacks life, death and
burial, and declared that the wreath
should be left where it was. "It was
brave in you to come and tell me about
it," he said, as he took Philips hand
in parting. ''It's as hard sometimes to
tell the truth as it is to face shot and
shell; and 1 believe you have real SOL
dier stuff in you. The laurel wreath
really belongs to you"
''It's pity Jack can't know about it.
for he'll never be so grand again." was
all the answer Philip made to this
praise, and when the gentleman
stopped to kiss Sara's pretty mouth,
she said seriously: 'Jack was very
fond of lilacs, and we mean to cover his
grave with them as long as we live, but
I'm sure this will always be Jacks best

there. 1t was not until gentleman
rose to speak in whom Sara and Philip
recognized their friend of the morn
ing that they gave close attention.
Wild applause greeted this gentle
man, which broke out afresh at his stir
ring words, particularly when he dwelt
on the great pride that Hilton might
well feel in its distinguished son, who,
after doing noble service for his coun-
try, now rested in their midst. But
after sounding the praise of Hilton's
special hero, the speaker went on to
say that the day was not set apart for
the worship of any one soldier, no mat
ter how great his career, 1t was just
here that the listening children's inter
est suddenly turned to CONSERVATION;
for in n few touching words he de-
scribed the humble grave which he sup
posed to be one of the nations heroes,
decorated by loving children's hands.
"I came to you bearing wreath of
laurel for our brave general, but left
it on yonder hillside to deck the grave
of man unknown to fame, my tribute
of respect to brother soldier, caring
not whether he wore the blue or the
gray" and after a graceful bow, the
orator retired, while the brass band
struck up amid the cheers of the crowd.
Sara and Philip looked at each other
in a frightened way. The generals

dreadful mistake.

1 did," whispered Sara, her face very
pale. sob, Philip, what shall we do?"

and courage, and resolution, before

think of him all the morning to make
up for it. Isn't it too bad that donkeys
can't SO to Heaven?"
"Maybe there's donkey land some
where" answered Philip, hopefully.
"And anyway, Jack doesn't have to
work any more. He was worn out"
When the children reached the wal
nut tree in the field, they set to work
on the lumpy mass of earth that
marked Jacks resting place. 1t took
long time to smooth and shape it;
but after the flowers were arranged
according to their taste, Sara and Phil
ip rested, well satisfied with their la
Dor.
"I'll put the flag in the middle" said
Philip, proceeding to carry out his
words. "I think more flags and less
lilacs would have been better, don't
you?"
mo, don't" answered Sara, looking
at it critically. "The liiacs are espc-
cially for Jack; and the flag is only to
show our respect for the country. This
isn't a soldiers grave"
"But / believe that Jack would have
made splendid soldier if he hadn't
been a donkey" said Philip, thought
fully. "You know good soldier is one
who stands by his post and don't move,
whatever happens; and Jack had just
that kind of spirit"
"And we used to whip him when he
wouldn't budge," sighed Sara, remorsc-
fully. "But / think we better have
the exercises now, and then eat our
lunch;" and Philip readily agreed to
this proposal.
The exercises" consisted of patriotic

"My husband" said Mrs. U. S. Grant
to an interviewer the other day, 'could
talk very well if he wished to, though
it was often hard to get him to talk.
He seldom spoke about the war, and
there were some subjects which he
would never take up of his own accord.
He would never allow me, however, to
make misstatement if he could help
it, and often got him to talking about
certain things by Intentionally stating
them in way which l knew was not
correct, whcreupon the general would
look at me in a despairing way and
say: Now, Julia, think you are mis-
taken about that; you have it all
wrong; it was this way He would
then go on to tell the true story of
the matter in all it's details. He grew

songs, sung by the children as they
slowly marched around the grave. 1t
was while their voices were sounding
out the ringing notes of America, -
that two gentlemen, coming along the
Hilton road in carriage, had full sight
and sound of this performance.
"a soldiers grave in this lonely spot!"
one of them exclaimed, as they drew
near enough to see the decorated
mound. THE Stars and Stripes are
floating over him. I'll ask who it is"
mo, no." said his companion, quickly.
Like enough it's the children's father
or brother, and we won't ask any ques-
tions."
Sara and Philip had stopped singing
to dispute over a certain point, and
We're too busy to notice the carriage
and it's occupants. Philip insisted on
singing: Land where our donkey
died." which Sara thought was disre-
spectful, not to say wicked. How the
dispute would have ended, no one can
say; for a call from the carriage start
led them and brought wrangling to a
close.
Here, children, let me add my trib.

served his country is enough for me
to know" and the gentleman who said
this held out an elegant wreath OF

little slope dividing the field from the

But the gentleman was quite de-
termined that Jack should have them;
and after few more words Sara was

the departing carriage.

WOMAN AND HOME.
WONDERFUL TRESSES.
San Francisco Lady who Has Over Six
Feet of Hair.

Feet of Hair.
Mrs. ID. j. Davis, OF San Francisco,
Cal, has the longest hair in the world.
1t clusters in great mass about her
head, and though she is tall woman,
being five feet nine inches in height,
her long tresses, when uncoiled. sweep
upon the ground for nearly n foot. Her
hair is just six feet and eight inches
in length.
Mrs. Davis comes of family remark
nble alike for their height and the
length of their hair. Though Mrs. Davis
is five feet and nine inches in height,
she is shorter by nearly an inch than
either of her three sisters. But while
they have the advantage in height, they
cannot equal her in the matter of hair,
notwithstanding that all three have
curls over a yard and half long. Not
the least remarkable part of this Won
derful hirsute development is that
| while all three of Mrs. Davis sisters had
long hair from early childhood, the
young lady herself could never induce
her tresses to fall below her shoulders,
SO that it is only within the past years
that they have developed such a ten
ency to eclipse Paderewski's shaggy
name.
But it is not surprising that Mrs.
Davis and her sisters should have such
n 'crowning glory" to boast of, for the
mother of this interesting family had
hair that dangled five feet from the
crown of her head. Mrs. Davis seems to
have lived all her life among long-haired
people, for her sister-in-law, with whom
she now resides at the Union hotel
in the Potrero. has over four feet of
hair, and her niece, little girl scarcely
three years old, has braid 21 inches in
length, which she succeeds daily in
tangling badly, and for which she as
regularly does penance when the comb
is applied.

Congressman Grosvenor.
Charles Henry Grosvenor, who repre-
sents the Eleventh Ohio district in con-
gress, is one of the most talked-of men
of the day owing to the great interest
he has taken in Maj. McKinley's candi-
dacy for the presidency. He has been
regarded as the mathematician of the
Ohio republican campaign, and has is
sued all the bulletins dealing with the
progress of the Mckinley agitation. Mr..
Grosvenor was born in Windham coun-
ty Conn, in 1888, but removed to Ohio
with his parents in 1888. He educated
himself, and was admitted to the bar
in 1857; served in the union army from
