Freckles are a hlndrance TO beauty Of
complexion and should be carefully
avoided. The skin should be firm ana
free from wrinkles. Do not on any ac-
count permit the accumulation OF con-
yolutions under the eyes as they give
an appearance OF age and do not en-
nance the physical appearance. Worry

too severely condemned. On retiring
at night tie a ribbon very tightly
across the forehead. Should you be
worried during the night the ribbon
will prevent the corrugatlons OF the

vent the formation OF wrinkles. The
face should be anointcd every night

Pneumatic Tire. and ordinary whs.l.

Pneumatic Tires and Ordinary wheels.
In a paper presented lately by A. J.
Michelln 70 the French Society OF Civil
Engineers. the author gives a sugges-
tive ACCOUNT Of his experiments with
the pneumatic tire and the ordinary
wheels. The arst experiment was
made on three days, that Is. when the
ground was covered with two inches Of
snow, also when the snow was melting
and then when the ground was muddy
The results showed that when the
empty carriage moved az walk
through the snow the draft or pull re-
Quired TO move q was $50 pounds with
iron wheels, and only 2S2 pounds with
pneumatic wheels. while moving AZ a
trot, with a load Of $50 pounds. the pull
was $50 pounds and Ss5 pounds re-
spectiyely: In the mud. under the same
conditions Of load and speed. the pulls
we're $50 and 507 pounds for the iron
wheel. and 231 and 2i.2 for the pneu-
matte tire. Other tests consisted Of
pulls OF varying speeds over macadam,
paved and ordinary roads, IN all OF
these the pneumatic tire showing a
saving In pulling power Of from thirty
70 nearly afty per cent The main
feature Of interest IN Mlchelin's en-
periments consisted. OF course. In the
fact that the actual amount OF power
required TO pull carriage equipped
With pneumatic tires was go much less
than when the ordinary wheels were
used.

The price of cotton has about

When Cleveland succeeded i'll
getting the Sherman silver pur-
chase law repealed cotton went
down. It has occasionally gone
up a little, but ever since, when
farmers were selling the bulk
of their crop. With average
crops 6 cents pound seems to
be the average gold standard
price. 1t is now below that fig

SMALL -2O2 OF POTATOES.
This Yours Yield Likely to be
$4,000, 900 Bushels Less
Than That Of Last
Year.

Not since 1892 has the potato
crop of the United States proved
So nearly a failure, says the
American Agriculturist, in its
final report of the yield Of 1897.
Compared with the liberal crop
Of last year, there is all apparent
falling off of nearly thirty per
cent, i'll tonnage, and the quality
of the Whole IS greatly deficient.
County and township returns
from all the leading potato grow
ing States show the yield of
potatoes to be $4,000, 900 bush>
els, against 245,ooo,ooo in 1896,
287, 900, 900 in 1895. I58,ooo,ooo
in 1894 and only I55,ooo,ooo i'll
in the short year of 1892. The
average rate of yield per acre is
placed at sixty four bushels, taxi
ing the country at large, against
eighty six bushels in 1896,
eighty nine bushels il: 1895 and
siXty~two BUSHES in 1892.
The reasons for disaster to the
potato crop of 1897 are varied.
Standing out with more promi-
nence than any other two facts
ors are blight and rot, as a re-
suit of extreames of wealth con>
ditions. Excessive rainfall here
and there, failure of termination,
later serious drought, rust, scab,
insects and other causes have all
been prominently in advance,
though complaints of this char
acter are less general than of the
two first.
While the Yield in bushels is
small, the quality is also de-
hcient. This is true of most but
not all, States. The crop is best
in the Northwest. Such portions
of Canada as make speciality of
potatoes, notably Ontario and
the Maritime Provinces, show a
general but not serious short
!age.
