Wrinkles are a. natural 10 old aRe q

are due mainly to a certain shyinkare Of
the muscles shrinkage which chsrac.
terlzes moro or less the entire svstem in
the later period Of life. Il 10 in conse-
quence OF this general shriukaee that in
advanced life the height is eomewhat
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 difficnlt
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 q lifetime an old mans brain vonld
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 q man over
100 years old whose face was wholly
without wrinkles. This was a very ex.
ceptional case, for the great body Of us,
If we attain length Of days, must take
them with the addition of physical 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-
ton 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
brutes, was meant to be the mirror of
the mind" 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 SO wonderfully adjusted to this end.
But muscles in constant or frequent ex-
ercise 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-
ceitful 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 S5 whose fogeheads are
more wrinkled than the brow should be
at 20. Some Of these may have more
care than others, but they unnecessarily
yield to the tendency to express them in
the face.-Leeds Mercury.

Athens. May 12.-Crown Prince Con-

dress to the troops at Domokos:
"Soldiers-The Greek army retires to
Domokos because our positions at Phar-
salos were not strong enough against
an enemy greatly superior in numbers,
but the positions you occupy here are so
strong that our army may be consid-
cred invincible. I am confident that you
will be able not only to repulse with
success every attack Of the enemy, but
that you will shortly be able to take the
offensive and compel him to abandon
Greek territory. Remember you defend
the sacred soil of the fatherland and
the honor Of the king and nation. The
enemy must not be allowed to make q
further step into Greece. I know you
have suffered and are still suffering
many privations, after having been
obliged to fight so many days, but we
must endure these privations patiently,
confident that we are doing our duty
to our fatherland."

GRAVE ROBBERS AT WORK.
GANG OF BODY SNATCHERS OPER-
ATING IN THIS SECTION.
They Were in Sumter County Last Week
and Are likely to Visit 9th
err Places

A gang of body snatchers are at work
in southwest Georgia, and it is probable
that many graves throughout this Sec
ton will be desecrated. The last known
of them they were operating in Sumter
county. The TlmeS-Recorder, after not
ing the fact that grave in the country
had been robbed, tells as follows of
their presence in Americas and an effort
to employ negro to help them in their
nefarious work.
''While walking along Prince street
yesterday morning a negro man was &C
costed by two strangers, we'll dresse d
white men, who proposed to engage his
services for the night. They cOnfided to
him the fact that they meant to secure a
certain dead body, telling the negro he
would be paid we'll for his services. The
negro was badly frightened and took to
his heels.
This case, in connection with the at
tempted robbing of a grave on the Lock
EFT place, is evidence sufficient that a
gang of body snatchers are at work IN
this vicinity. 1t is possible that several
graves have already been desecrated, and
that other bodies will be stolen unless
the tiends are run down.
