Good Looks.

There are more wrinkles in the face
Of a baby monkey than there are in
that of an old baboon. And speaking
of wrinkles, more Of them can be
wrought out in fair, young face by
neuralgia than will be found in that of
an aged person. Constant pain will
shrivei, and neuralgia neglected will
plow its burrows deep. 1t not only
wrinkles, but takes the bloom away
and gives the skin dull and yellow
fbok. st. Jacobs Oil Is a prompt and
sure cure for neuralgia, and it should
be used, as while it soothes and cures.
1t smooths out the tracks Of pain and
leaves the skin healthy and fair again;
besides it ribs the sufferer Of much
torment and restores happier dispo-
stion. Good looks come only with good
health. and health is found in the alb
sence of pain.

Jack and JILL"

Many children are taught the nursery
rhyme of Jack and JILL" and the jour
ney up hill in company, without the
falntest idea being conveyed to the
mind Of the learner that the story in
the lines is an allegory. A jack, in old
English, was pottery or earthenware
pitcher; jill. or gill, was metal meas
ure: and it is believed that the rhymes
contain a humorous personihcation Of
the two vessels, possibly by some per-
son who had sustained the misfortune
Of striking one against the other. and
thus breaking the crown Of the un-
lucky jack.

Rou1hlY Silenced.

Archbishop Whately had a rough

Great Bear-at Oxford-a fact unknown
to a young aidede-camp who at party
in Dublin Castle attempted to cross
swords with the prelate.
Approaching the primate Of Ireland
the youth asked, "Does your grace
know what 10 the difference between an
ass and an archbishop
NO." was the grave answer.
Then the youth went on, IAN ass has
a cross on his back but an archbishop

Now viii! you tell me what Is the diff
ference between a young aide-de-camp
like yourself, and an ass!'

Neither do l." said the archbishop

How to Root Slina

Take a shallow dish and Ill with
sharp sand: wet this very wet. but not
so that it will be muddy. or so that the
water will stand on the surface. Insert
the slips in this sand and never let It
get dried out: this Is the secret Of sue
cess-keep the sand wet all the time,
and remember that it dries out rapidly.
II you want to root a geraniun slip
choose one that is strong, large, healthy
and not woody.
Almost anything will root in this wet
sand. If you want to root good many
slips, box or something that could be
covered with glass would be best. Fill
this partially with sand. and have no
drainage; insert the slips and cover
with glass, put the box in sunny win
dow and raise the back end SO that the
box will be thrown with Its entire sur
face to the sunshine. Slips will root
rapidly, and when we'll rooted they
may be transplanted.
II you begin early, you will have
plants for summer blooming, and those
that have bloomed during the winter
may take rest and have their buds
pinched of to At them for service an
other winter. 1t Is fact that plant
will produce more flowers as it grows
older il it is cared for. OF course plants
may get too old. but think this is the
exception rather than the rule.
Now word about pottins rooted
slips; these must be handled with care,
and here is where the novice makes a
mistake. Do not put a tiny rooted slip
or a good sized rooted slip into big pot.
use very small one; it will not put the
plant back to transplant it from time to
time, 1t will do it good; it will make 1t
strong and stocky instead Of letting it
grow up spindling and weak.
Use drainage always in the bottom OF
the pot, and for the first potting use
rather poor soil. and put sand about
the roots at nrst When the plant is
we'll established and growing well,
then transplant it to pot one size
larger. and use as good soil as it may
require; II you Use the regular flower

Do Snakes Really Bite?

A careful student OF snakes and their
ways declares that they never bite,
despite the common belief that they kill
In that fashion. In fact, says this man,
snakes can't bite because their jaws
are connected only by cartilage, and
not hinged, and cannot be brought to-
gether with any force. The snake sim
ply hooks the fangs in its upper jaw
into the object aimed at. the lower jaw
not figuring at all. The act is very
similar to that of man striking 4
cotton hook into a bale Of cotton, or a
boat hook into pier.

lmnriAOned in a Log.

The student of natural history who
INDUCES in solitary woodland rambles
has OCCASIONAL experiences which are
more pleasant in remembrance than in
actual occurrence, writes friend to
the Youths Companion, as an intro
duction to the story Of an adventure
which befell him in Western Maine a
few years ago:
/ was out one afternoon, during
prolonged drought, hunting ferns in a
deep wood. Toward night it suddenly
grew dark, and mutterings of thun-
der, with few drops of ram. told me
that a heavy shower was imminent.
At that moment, by great good luck, as
l thought, my eye fell upon a big hol-
low log.
A glance within by the light of a
match told me that l could crawl in
side and escape drenching. A mo-
ment later was worming myself with
in the log. feet foremost and arms
pressed close to my side. 1t was
close fit, but patience carried the day.
Scarcely was l safe inside when the
rain came down in torrents, and as
lay listening to the downpour and the
wind among the trees and the rum
blings Of heavy thunder l congratu-
lated myself on having secured so snug
a shelter
l had had long tramp and was very
tired, and although my position was
not altogether comfortable, l fell
asleep. How long slept do not know,
but was AWAKENED by sharp pain
in my head and a sense of cramp in
my whole body. 1t was intensely dark,
and the rain was still falling. The pain
in my head was due to the dropping
of water on my forehead; the bodily
discomfort was due to my cramped po-
sition In the log.
I twisted about as much as possible,
drew my head back from .he falling
drops, and, resolved to make the best
of the situation, went to sleep again.
l did not know the way home, and to
attractive.
walked again from the same causes
as before; the pain in my head was in
tolerable, and it seemed impossible to
get it where those maddening drops
would not drip on it somewhere, and
wherever they fell they seemed like
sharp iron boring into the skull.
Anything is better than this" l
thought, and decided to crawl out Of
the log. To my CONSERVATION l found
1t impossible to do so. The orifice
through which l had entered had been
just large enough to admit my body,
and the wood, shrunken from long alb
sence of moisture had swollen by the
rain to such an extent that l was
caught like rat in a trap.
Struggle and push and kick and wrig-
gle as did, l moved but a few inch
es could not raise my hands to tear
at the wood.
l was like mailman through that
night; but shrieked and struggled in
vain. 1t is not necessary to dwell on
my suffering Of mind and body; suffice
1t to say that search party found me
the next morning with the aid Of q
pointer dog who tracked me to the spot.
Before l could be extricated from my
prison it was necessary to cut away
part of the log with an axe. Since that
day I never see hollow log without q
Shudder.

Remarkable Earn.

Jean Baptiste Verre, a laborer, Is
mentioned in the French Academy pro-
ceedings Of 1892 as having ears so long
that they projected above the top of his
head. They possessed the power of
motion. and. being the cause Of great
modification to him, he had them cut
down to something near the ordinary
size of human ears and concealed the
stumps beneath his long hair.
