Chinese Is blue, purple and black The females wear very small white slippers with oval or rocker-shaped soles or bottoms and are always bareheaded. If the sun is shining brightly they protect their creamy, greasy faces and preserve their complexions with fans or parasols. It is rare indeed that one sees a young girl or woman on the sunny side of twenty. If there are such in San Francisco or other towns through which I passed, they are kept in the background. During all my journey saw but two fresh, rosy-checked Chinese girls. The toothless hags! sallow, scrawny, and repulsive are the females who are In sight in Chinatown. And every town in the state has its Chinatown, which is always isolated, and oc- cupied solely by the Chinese. I visited their stores, barber shops, restaurants, joss houses, and at tended one funeral. Of the things of general public interest noted I will speak in my next.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PRISON.
Official Proceedings, of the Board of
 Control.

The Board of Control in session at Phoenix on October 14th, took the following action in matters pertaining to the Territorial prison:
 The following letter from J. w. Darlington, superintendent of the Territorial prison, was read and ordered spread on the minutes: "Office of the Territorial Prison, Yuma, Ariz October 6, 1897:
 "To the Honorable Board of Con- trol, Phoenix, Ariz.: Gentlemen Every sense of justice, charity and humanity demand that matron for the prison be appointed to look after the welfare of, find suitable employment for and afford that protection to female convicts that is essentially necessary in an in stitution of this kind.
 "Such an appointment would lend not only moral effect, the absence of which is now most per- ceptibIe, but will afford all officials that social protection which is rightfully due them. Under exist ing circumstances It is not only exceedingly unpleasant, but prac- tically impossible for the officers and guards to meet the require ments of the law relating to pris- oners.
 "The quarters assigned to female convicts is literally den of horror and no remedy for this state of af- fairs exists without large expendi- ture of money under present condi tions. The appointment of a matron would obviate the necessity of the expenditure of any considerable amount of money-there being on hand an unused guard house and iron cages, which could be combined at little, if any, expense and afford to female prisoners that comfort and treatment, privacy and seclusion which we are in duty bound to give them.
 "We have here at present three female prisoners, who are certainly entitled to some consideration, living in rat hole and suffering torture that Torquemada hesitated to inhict during the darkest days of the Inquisition.
 ''In my opinion it is absolutely necessary that you create the office of prison matron, and l most ear nestly recommend that such action be taken without delay.
 Respectfully yours,
 U. W. DoRRINGToN,
 Superintendent"
 On motion Of G. w. Vickers, all members coneurring, the following resolution was passed:

MARITAL EXCUSES FOR NEGLECT

Most Of us are acquainted with men who
have repeatedly told us that they axe
married. We have taken their word for it.
though we have had no other evidence OF
its truth. They are seldom, if ever, seen
with their wives. They frequently appear
in public places, at concerts, theaters, even
ing parties, but invariably alone. This
happened so uniformly that we imagine
that they have been widowed, and feel
prompted to offer our sincere sympathy.
But, first, we must know the fact. On
posely direct the conversation to marriage,
so that they may inform us Of their be-
reavement.
Do they? No. They are still husbands,
and very devoted ones, they assure us.
They greatly regret that their wives can
never be persuaded to 20 out. They are
continually trying to induce them to, but
all in vain. The invisible wives are, they
assert, so extremely domestic that they will
stay at home. No other place has any
attraction for them, SO cOnsecrated are they
to their children and the family routine
1t seems as if they could breathe with COM
fort no other atmosphere than that OF home
Generally men who habitually and with
out prompting or suggestion discourse upon
their families, and enlarge on their excess
sive attachment to them, may not be
accepted unreservedly. An affection that
needs so much airing and promiscuous ad-
vertising may safely be questioned.

MOVING A BRICK CHIMNEY.
Carried Nearly a Thousand Feet Over
Uneven Ground.

The moving of an ordinary brick build
ing has always been considered feat at
least of more than passing interest, but the
transportation Of brick chimney without
accident or damage, over a considerable
stretch of uneven ground, was recently
accomplished at Manhanset, Shelter Island
New York
The chimney, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is - feet high and I feet square at
base, with outer and inner walls inches
thick and weighs nearly 100 tons. 1t was
moved about $50 feet over very rough
ground and quite grade, both up and
down. The cradle rested on TWO .!lids
CREASED on the under side and sliding on
CREASED blocks. The purchase used was a
chain cap,tdn, and one horse at $50 fold,
the time occupied III loading and moving
was only nine days, with the labor of only
four men. The chimney was was placed
on its new foundation without particle of
harm. This is the second chimney of the
above description moved by the same con-
tractors. The first one was - feet high
at Bridgehampton, and in both cases the
work was completed without accident

PREMATURE WRINKLES.

Wrinkles are as natural to old age rs is a
full, smooth face to Childhood They are
due mainly to certain shrinkage of the
musclcs-a shrimkage which characterizes
more OF less the entire system in the later
period OF life. 1t is in consequence of this
general shrinkage that in advanced life the
height is somewhat lowered; that the sub
stance of the jaws contracts, thus often
giving rise, by pressure on the nerves that
pass through the bony canals, to severe and
difficult neuralgia, and that the brain sub
stance becomes reduced in bulk, water fill
Ing the vacant space. Were it not for the
fixed habits and accumulated resources Of Il
lifetime an old mans brain would not be
equal to the work which he still performs
between old people in this respect, which
is due largely to temperament, habits Of
thought and of feeling and modes of life.
The papels lately told of man over 100
years old whose face was wholly without
wrinkles. This was very exceptional
case, for the great body OF us, if we attain
length of days, must take them with the
addition of physical decay. Even the proud
belle must make up her mind for wrinkles,
but if, as she grows older, she grows in
good sense, intelligence and kindly SYM
pathies, her beauty of character will have
an attraction far beyond beauty of face
While wrinkles result from the natural
working of the system, they may also be
caused by perverted condition of the
system, as are pimples, blotches and bols.
Now, the human face, unlike that of
brutes, was meant to be the "mirror of the
mind" the visible expression of every
passion, emotion aud inmost feeling.
Herein is its chief beauty; hence its num-
erous muscles and nerves, whereby it is so
wonderfully adjusted to this end. But
muscles in constant or frequent exercise
increase in Volume, strength and readiness
OF action hence habits Of thought and feel
ing become stamped on the face, and we
read so easily the character OF the proud,
the vain, the deceitful ard the sensual man
or of the kind, the calm, the energetic, the
frank, the candid and the honest man. But
there is nothing like care and worriment to
pillow burrows in the forehead, and these are
badly marring the faces of some men and
women. We pass in the streets persons of
80 whose foreheada are more wrinkled than
may have more than others, but they un-
necessarily yield to the tendency to express
them in the face.

Aunt Sallie lived alone, though the
neighbors often said it was not safe. Her
only son had settled in the west and some
times made a journey to see his mother,
but never could persuade her to 20 back
with him. or change her mode OF living.
She liked to sit by her own fireside, to
light her evening candle and read a chapter
OF the Bible, and wind up the old family
clock, and, as she said, "shr could 20 10

1t was just before Thanksgiving that
David, the son, had come with his wife and
little ones to spend this home gathering
holiday with the old mother. They thought
to surprise her. Approaching the cottage
they saw the friendly light, and quietly
stole up to the window to see what she was
doing within Sure enough, there she sat
peacefully reading her chapter. As they
looked she dozed over her book, the candle
was very pear, her head nodded towards it.
The frill of her cap caught the flames In
an instant her gray hair was in blaze.
David rushed to the door. 1t was care

PARD0NABLE IGNORANCE.

A strange story is related OF a juryman
who outwitted a judge, and that without
lying. Ieran into court in a desperate
hurry and quite out OF breath, and ex-
claimed:
''Oh, judge, if you can, pray excuse me.
don't know which will die first, my wife
or my daughter"
Dear me, that's sad, " said the innocent
judge. Certainly, you are excused"
The next day the iuryman was met by
q friend, who, in sympathetic voice, asked
Flows your wife,
She's all right, thank YOU
"And your daughter"
''Shes all right, too Why do you asli?'
"Why, yesterday you said you did not
know which would die first

THE CARE OF WATCHES,

There are a great many little supersti-
tons connected with the handling and
wearing Of Watches as it is with everything
not commonly understood How many
owners Of timepieces are very wary about
leaving them with a matchmaker, lest some
OF the Jewels" may be distracted! II these
people only knew that the most precious
jewels in the ordinary watch are worth
about eight cents apiece, and only about
forty cents a gross unset their alarm would
vanish but they also look upon their
watches with a great deal less of mystic
veneration and awe.
Another common belief is that turning
the hands backward will injure the works.
How, they do not know but in some mys-
ferrous manner that ordinary moytals can
not comprehend. In fact. the only style
OF watch which could have been injured in
this way is the old English Verge" escape
ment, modelled after fourteenth century
clocks-watches which almost anything
would have injured, and which were useful
for almost any purpose except keeping
time.
A watch is Il complicated piece OF
Notwithstanding least elaborate have a hun

thousand, every part nicely adjusted to its
delicate functions. And the movements

tous about its welfare that hc attempts to

Wind your watch regularly. That is the
first great rule for watch wearers In the
morning is probably the best time, 40 rs to
have the greatest tension OF the spring

liable to shaking and hard usage. Have
your watch cleaned and oiled regularly.

oils will gum and clog where there is such
continued friction.
Keep your watch pocket clean. Don't
let lint and fine dust accumulate in the
corners. No matter how well the cases
may close, the subtle dust will work its
way through soon enough.
Choicest of all, curb your curiosity.
Don't open the cases and inspect the works
They are there yet, even though you have
not seen them since yesterday. II any
thing should occur to cause them to stop,
don't try to find out yourself what it is.
A matchmaker will charge you nothing for
an accurate diagnosis, which involves no
possible further injury. And don't try to
regulate the watch yourself. You may do
it successfully but the chances are against
you. In fact, the chances are that the
watch may not need regulating at all. All
Watches except the best, run faster in
winter, slower in summer. Yet some men
set their their watches with every clock
they see, and move the regulator, too, il
they can pry the cases open.
