II. Appleton Co, publishers New York
From Bother Bros, Houston.
\ story of remarkable adventures the
scenes being mainly located in South
Africa It abounds In dramatic situations.
and is bright In dialogue and graphic in
description The author has written many
similar stories of adventures however, and
IN this details the same old harbreadth
escapes, the same extraordinary happen
ings, following one another ut breathless
speed, aud tho same splendid disregard
for mere probability that marked his "Dr.
Nikola" and THE Beautiful White Devil"
THE Fate OF a Soldier" BY Henry Stem
kiewioz j, $. Oslvie Publishing company,
New York
The author OF Quo Vadls has written an
odd story. IT relates the career of a now
ertul Slavopic simpleon In the German
army fighting the French Because OF his
reckless bravery and mighty strength on
tho battlefield he won honor and recogni-
tlon, and afterward he returned TO his
peasant home a bigger idiot by reason of
his army experience. HIS arrogance pro-
duced a row, for which he languished in
prison, and finally. because OF fool mis-
take at an election, he is driven. with his
wife and son, away from home to starye.
The story itself has merit. The descr p
tipns OF the battles are stirring. and the
character OF Mogda, the peasant wife who
suffers so for the love of Ner husband. is
such as will strike anybody with pity.

THE PIPE FACE.
1t Is Claimed 20 BE as Visible and
Distinct as the Often-NOted
bicycle Face.

It is declared that the constant habit
of smoking pipes has a perceptible eff
feet upon the face. "Ihe pressure OF
the lips 10 hold the pipe in position in
creases the curvature of the lips round
the stem and the muscles become more
rigid here than in other parts. Thus
the lips at certain points become
stronger, and the pipe is unconsciously
held in the same habitual position.
After long continuation of the habit
small circular wrinkles form parallel
with the curvature of the lips around
the stem. These are crossed by finer
lines caused by the pressure of the lips
to retain the stem in position.
In the case of old men who have
smoked pipe for years the effect upon
the lips is very marked, not only alter
ing the form OF the lips but of one en-
tire side of the face, causing the
wrinkles that are the result of age TO
deepen, and, instead of following the
natural course of facial wrinkles, TO
change their course so as TO radiate
from the part of the mouth where the
pipe is habitually carried. Further
more, one or both lips often protruder
just like the lips of people who used to
suck their thumbs when children. The
effects of pipe smoking upon the teeth
and lower jaws are even more apparent
than in the case of the lips. If any mar
who has smoked a pipe for consider
able length of time will take the troubl,
TO examine his teeth he will find tha

stem between his teeth the latter hay'

FROM CONVICT TO GUARD.
A Prisoner who Long Made Himself
Useful Is Now Employed by
His JaiIers.

Henry Berner, who spent over 20
years behind prison walls for n murder
of which he always declared his inno-
cence, is now wearing the uniform of
guard ut the institution in jefferson
Vile, Ind, where he so long wore the
garb of a convict, says the Louisville
Courier-Jo Journal. Berner was paroled
bv the board of managers Of the re-
formatory the first week in February,
but he failed to obtain employment as
required by the new parole law until
the other day, when it was announced
that he would go to his mother at Cum
minsville, o., a suburb of Cincinnati,
and there reside, having complied with
that important requirement.
During his long confinement Berner
became almost indispensable to the in
stitution, and after his departure his
value became still more apparent. Su-
perintendent Hert and the board OF
managers determined to recall him and
place him in charge of the engine.
rooms. This was done. and he has beer
quietly at his duties since Monday
when he returned from Cumminsvil C.
Berner's alleged offense was the mur
der of his employer, barber NAMED
| Barlein, at Vincennes. After Berncr'i
| conviction his betrothed married himi

confinement. She moved TO Jefferson

IN THE TALL BUILDINGS.
Local as Well as Through Travel Is
Afforded by the Modern
Elevator.

The man who, when he goes to a
lofty modern building to see somebody
on the tenth floor, finds an express ele-
vator, whose first stop is at the seventh
floor, ready to start, and so reaches
the tenth floor almost before he knows
it, is sure to be impressed by the ex-
perience, even though it may not be new
to him, says the New York Sun.
Another thing that Is sure TO impress
a visitor is the local travel that has
sprung up in the tall buildings. While
in an elevator he will see some one get
on at one floor and get off at another.
It may be that some concern has Offices
on one floor and rooms for draughting
or for other work on another. Or there
may be business relations between sep
arate concerns on different floors, and
going to and fro between them, just
as there would be along the street be-
tween them, if they were on the street
level. And then there are buildings
in which, on floor above floor. business
of the same nature is carried on, and
in which customers go from floor &c
floor without coming down to the street
again until they have visited all the
concerns with which they may have
occasion to do business.
So that, take it altogether, TO one no
over-fanliliar with it there is stilllikely
to be found much of interest in the us'
of the modern elevator.
