a simple preventive against the
appearance of wrinkles is this:
Saturate a soft towel in very hot
water; ring it and apply it to the
face, keeping it there for at least
twenty minutes. Then dry the face
very gently. This must be done
just before going to bed. When
travelling, if the skin is very SEN
sitive, 90 not battle the face except
at night and in the morning, and
then throw few drops of tincture
of benzoin into the water, so that it
may be made soft and agreeable to
the skin.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Sitting CrOss-Legged Injurious.
Doctors who have investigated the
subject are generally Of the opinion
that the woman who sits with cross
legs issues an invitation to disease.
1t is not in the mere fact of placing
the limbs in the position indicated
! for moment, but keeping them
that way. The continued pressue of
one limb upon the other, the steady
bearing down upon the nerves and
cords of that portion of the human
| body, speedily brings about a con-

sciatica, neuralgia and sometimes

Sometimes women who sew a
great deal by hand in their own

How an Owl Saved . Train.

judged to be birds of ill omen, but En-
gineer Ned Barnett Of the Santa Fe
says lie happens to know that they are
anything but that and tells the follow

One morning as the east bound over

west of here, Barnett's engine doing

about 100 yards ahead. Hands were
sent ut once to clear the track, and in
removing the debris they found another

in the crotch of an uprooted tree, crush
