Suits the Manufacturers.

From the Har. ford Courant.
The novelty of electric locomotive
hauling freight cars on the streets of New

Wholly Unauthorized.

From the Chicago Tribune.
If you ask simply for my opinion said
the learned geologist to the reporter, II
shall be compelled to say that tine glacial
drift theory only partially accounts for It.
The region south OF the Gulf of Finland,
for instance. is covered with powders car
ried there from the other side of .ne gulf
by glacial action in the prehistoric ages.
These powders. though technically called
erratic. are plainly
sor.' said the reporter, but do these belong
to the stratitied or the unstratified 6rift?'
Il do not care to venture an opinion as to
that" replied the eminent :,eologist. "rhe
question has not yet been passed upon by

The most essential point perhaps, in at

fifty-hve, in smartest array. is young in
every movement. Her stylish gown swings
about her with an air of distinction, and
her fashionable hat shades her smooth
forehead. Her face is framed in ruches
and boas and Medici collars and with soft
ly pompadoured hair modishly undule. She
stands and walks with the erect carriage
and the little jerky trip OF a young wo-
man, who sits with her skirts sweeping
the floor beside her. her, feet together or
easily crossed, instead of nouncing down
on her back breadths and folding her hands
over wide lap. Altogether she is replica

The Cost of Strikes.

From the Arena.
For the strikes that occurred from 1881
TO 1885, inclusive. the wage loss by en-
ployes is estimated by the United States
commissioner of labor at SOL ,Sl4 600. and the
employers losses estimated by the same
authority at $50. 7O1 600. And the trouble is
not growing less as the years go by. From
114l to 1880, inclusive, there We're 1,491
strikes and lockouts: while for the six
years ending December 81, 1886, the num-
Der of strikes alone was 3,902-forty year
for the first period, and over $50 year for
the second period. Making all due allow
ance for fuller reporting of strikes in the
latter period, the contrast Is still startling
ore.
Surely it is cheaper as well as more just
to settle by court than by strike. At pres
ent we pay for the strike first, then we pay
for a commission to examine into it's causes
and results: let us have the inquiry first.

Luck In Old Shoes,

The Chinese value pair of old boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom of wishing
friend happy foot'' is still observed
all through Europe. The casual putting
on the left sLoe on the right foot, put
ting 1T On uneven or crosswise, bursting
the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and
losing button are all bad signs. A
Yorkshire man will spit in his right
shoe before putting it on, when going
out on important business, to bring luck,
and many an English girl has been
known to hang her boots outside Of the
window on ST. Valentines night for
love luck
Professor Black tells us of a singular
superstition existing in England, which
insists that if the youngest daughter of
family marries first her sisters must
dance at the wedding without shoes, so
as to insure husbands for themselves.
Old shoe throwing is done for many
purposes IN Ireland the election of a
person to almost any office is concluded
by throwing an old shoe ever his head.
The gypsics say:
Hurle a.ter an oil SHOE,
III be merry w,,.t here do.
In the isle Of Man an old shoe is al
ways thro'r>; after the bride, as well as
the groom. when leaving their homes,
and III the south the Oldest person Oh

throws shoe after any one starting on

PREMATURE WRINKLES.
They Are the Record of Thoughts Forced
the Face.

| They Are the Record of Thoughts Forced
the Face.
| Wrinkles are as natural to old age as
is full, smooth face TO childhood They
are due mainly to certain shrinkage OF
the muscles-a shrinkage which charac.
ter7zes more cr less the entire system in
the later period OF life 1t is in conse-
quence OF this general shrinkage that in
advanced life the height is somewhat
lowered; that the substance 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 substance
becomes reduced in bulk, water filing
the vacant space. We're it not for the
fixed habits and accumulated resources
Of lifetime an old mans brain would
not be equal TO the work which he still
performs easily. There is, of course,
much difference between old people in
this respect, which is due largely to
temperament, habits OF thought and of
feeling and modes of life.
The papers lately told Of man over
100 years old Whose face was wholly
without wrinkles. This was yerv ex.
ceptional case, for the great body Of us,
If We attain length Of days, must take
them with the addition Of physica! de
cay. 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 sympathies, her
beauty OF character will have an attrac.
tlor far beyond beauty Of face. While
wrinkles result from the natural work
Ing OF the system, they may also be
caused by perverted condition of the
system, as are pimples, blotches and
boils
Now, the human face, unlike that of
bruts.s, was meant to be the "1nirror of
the mind, y the visible expression of ev-
cry passion, emotion and inmost feeling.
Herein is its chief beauty; hence its
numerous muscles and nerves, whereby
it is wonderfully adjusted to this end.
But muscles III constant or frequent ex-
erclse increase in volume, strength and
readiness Of action; hence habits of
thought and feeling become stamped on
the face, and we read SO easily the
character OF the proud, the vain, the de-
celtful and 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 worri
ment to plow burrows in the forehead,
and these are badly marring the faces Of
some men and women We pass in the
streets persons. of 30 whose foreheads are
more wrinkled than the brow should be
at 10. Some of these may have more
care than others, but they unnecessarily
yield to the tendency to express them in
the face.-Leeds Mercury.
