THE BOSTON LOOK.

Eyes, there is something rather mys-
ferrous in THIS mind-reading business, .
said the man with the high forehead,
as the subject was under discussion.
I've no power that way to brag of,
but | did a thing once which some
folks may think rather singular. There
were nineteen passengers in street
car and stood up and looked 'em over
and picked out the eighteen who lived
Ill Boston"
THAT wasn't exactly mind-reading, -
said the man who had started the dis
cussion.
'No, of course not"
81 should say it was keerness of OBJ
servation rather, and it did you credit
1t doesn't seem possible that out of
nineteen people you could detect the
Boston look in eighteen. l should
like to know how you figured it out.
ooh. it was dead easy" replied the
first speaker. THE car | refer to was
a downtown car in Boston itself, and
as none of the passengers had satcnel
or wanted to get off opposite a saloon,
knew they must all live in town."
"Um," said the other, after a 81
lence, you have accounted for TIE
eighteen Bostonites, but who was the
nineteenth?'
II was the man, and l was living
out in Charlestown. then"

'You have seen beet sugar? Twenty

ciusicn? And it needs only half mill

very first year."

Nothing but to enrich us-to make

landlord.

Should the trouble be due to nerve

If the trouble comes from the loss of

The use OF impure soap, such as con-
tains potash and ammonia, will pro-
duce flabby skin. especially if put on
the face with hot water. as it deprives
the skin of its natural oil.
To avoid flabby skin through wash

EOW TO CORRECT WRINKLES.


When the fibrous portion Of the skin
becomes relaxed and loses elasticity,
the outer covering becomes flabby
mistaken care given it. Steaming the
face viii make the skin fab5y, for the
heat deadens the sensibility of the
nerves and causes the elastic fbers
of the skin to lose their power Of con-
tracing. Likewise both steaming and
the use OF very hot water, if persisted
in, will dissolve the fat globules Of the
skin that in measure serve as cush-
ions.
: The overuse of nassaging and face
steaming is responsible for much of
the loss of contour CT the faces Of
American women. No face that has
lost those graceful rounded lines which
nature has given to every countenance
can be beautiful. Youthful looks and
classic beauty are dependent on the
outline, and when the symmetry Of
tbs is marred it is hard to restore it.
without OVERRIDING it, for as rule they
have no knowledge of the muscles that
underlie the skin. As day by day they
look into the glass and see that the
condition of the face, instead of improv-
ing, is becoming worse, they sigh hope
lessiy and think that youth and good
looks are forever leaving them, when,
after all, it is only their own silly sys-
tenn OF caring for themselves.
Sometimes they learn better before
il is too late and give up the injurious
system, but more often they persist in
tae way they have chosen until the
skin is so soft and fiabby that nothing
can restore its beauty.

THE CAPTAINS SENTIMENT.

WED had a brush with the Indians
on No Mcz's Creek" said the cavalry
sergeant, land had driven them cut OF
the cottonwoods, when we caught
sight of warrior trying TO work in
on our left flank. Three or four of
the boys turned locse on him and
drove him of. but he was soon replaced
by two others. They were beaten OF
to be replaced by FIVE or six. We
couldn't at first make out what they
were up to, but by and by discovered
that their objective point was a thicket
on our front center. Then it was easy
to conclude that some warrior OF prom
inence was in that thicket, dead or
wounded. and that the object was TO
carry him eff. Our captain was a man
of sentiment. and he gave orders TO
cease firing. He wanted these red
skins to understand that Company d
had too much honor to fire upon a
wounded foe, and too much mercy TO
shoot down those who would carry
away the dead for burial. We lay
there and let the Indians dash up with
d yell, and two minutes later, as they
rode off with whoops and cheers, we
were all shaking with laughter. They
were not after dead or wounded buck,
but what they wanted and what they
got were two kegs of whisky which
had been hidden there. Our captain
didn't catch on until too late. and
then he jumped up and down and told
us to blaze away. We blazed away,
but though we fired away $40 worth OF

No woman is pleased to see the first
wrinkle, and she is disposed to ignore
its existence as long as possible. The
day comes, however, when she can no
longer do SO, and then she despair

ication.
A careful study Of wrinkles, their
cause aud cure, has convinced me that
they are not inevitable and that as
they have come without bidding they
may be dismissed with as little cerc-
mony
Wrinkles owe their existence to sew
eral causes. They are not of necessity
seen on an aged face. Sometimes-tney
make their appearance en- one that
has not seen many summers or win
tiers. Unless the face has been well
cared for their presence probably in
dicates that the muscles beneath have
not retained their natural vigor and
are no longer firm enough to sustain
the skin.
When the first thread wrinkles be-
gin to gather about the corners of the
eyes, the mouth and the ears, it is high
time for a woman to begin to adopt
precautions. If we treat our eyes and
hair and teeth with as little thought
for their preservation as We treat our
complexion we would soon be deprived
of their use.
Dieting to cure obesity is a fruitful
source Of lines upon the face. The
skin has stretched to accommodate the

the latter is removed it hangs loosely
