Goodness In Danger.

1t was Winfield Scott Schley who
said this when he was commander Of
the New York and stood on the forward
bridge of his ship outward bound from
one of the ports of the Atlantic sea-
board. Ten minutes before badly
frightened man had run up to him, cali

Captain, the forward port magazine

"Then shut your MOUTH said the
captain. The man, thus recalled to his
senses, touched his cap and relapsed
into silence, while his commander
quietly ordered fire drill and mo-
ment later commanded the flooding Of
the magazine. Both orders, a part of
the daily routine on every American
warship, were promptly carried out,
but it was not until all danger was past
that the officers and men obtained
knowledge of the true state of affairs.
When they did find out, they realized
that their captain had been standing all
the time just over the magazine, and
one of the officers begged him to come
down from the bridge and let him take
his place. 1t was then that the captaiu

Color Bind.

Not long ago | was in the crowded
office of celebrated specialist for the
eye and ear, and happened to notice q
man sitting at one of the tables with a
most bewildered expression on his face
and pile of bright colored worsteds in
front of him. After desperate struggle
he succeeded in asserting them, but,
alas, not according to shade or color.
DIR. 9. came III then and said: "ns that
the best you can do? Try again aa2 put
the colors in five piles"
Once more the unfortunate man be-
San his hopeless task. There were pink,
blue, lavender, yellow and red worsteds
to be piled, each color by itself. The
man began. Yellow was comparatively
easy, red not SO bad, but pink, Niue and
lavender conveyed no idea of difference
The perspiration rolled down the man S
face, his features became fairly distort-
ed, and finally we heard him murmur,
"This is a corker!" 1 became desperate
myself, and when he finally gravely
separated the blue shades, putting some
with the lavender and others with the
pink, / felt like screaming. AS soon as
could see the doctor expressed my
sympathy, and he replied:
eyes, sympathy is very we'll, tut if
you were riding on railway train you
would like to be sure that the engineer
knew the primary colors! This man has
passed series of examinations and is
qualified to assume a responsible posi-

TO CURE WRINKLES.
How to Remove tho Marks of Age and
Care From the Countenance.

How to Remove tho Marks of Age and
Care From the Countenance.
Wrinkles are creases in the skin, the
result, of loss of natural elasticity Of
the skin and of the habitual retention
OF the part in a particular attitude, says
The Voice. Wrinkles are to tho physi-
clan valuable means of diagnocis. For
example, wrinkles across the ceslter OF
the body in front indicate a habitual
stopped position in sitting. Two or
three very deep wrinkles are not infre-
quently found. Such wrinkles as these,
however, are seldom the source CT soiic-
itude on the part of the patient
The wrinkles that the physician is
usually called upon to cure are those of
the face. These wrinkles also are indie
alive of habitual attitudes. and the
face being the organ of expression the
facial attitude or expression applies to
a corresponding attitude of mind. For
example, one class of wrinkles indicates
habitual mental attitude OF worry,
another habitual expression of scorn,
another ariability, another hate, etc.
From this it appears that wrinkles, at
Least wrinkles of the face (and in fact
the same is true Of all wrinklas), are
more than skin deep and involve not
only the body, but the character.
The cure of wrinkles, then, is q mat
ter which first of all concerns the char
acter. The habitual attitude of mind,
which has left its mark upon the skin
in the shape of wrinkles, must be
changed. 1t must be replaced by a
mental attitude Of q marked character.
For example, in the case of a face
married by wrinkles produced by
scowling expression the skin must be
moothed oU. by the cultivation of an
opposite state of mind, by which means
the muscles Of expression will be made
to pull the skin into such a shape that
the undesirable character marks will
disappear. In short, unpleasant wrin-
kles must be got rid Of by the cultivation
of wrinkles Of an opposite character
Much can be done by the aid Of mas
sage to restore the flexibility Of the skin
and to stretch and draw the facial GOV.
ering into more desirable form.
