WARDING OFF WRINKLES.
How to Get Rid of This Bane to
Woman's LONELINESS.

There is no greater nightmare to
womankind in general. once they are
out of their teens, than the appearance
day by day. of increasing wrinkles
woman living healthy, regular coun-
try life, without great deal of excite
ment or worry, is not likely to be trou-
bled with these dreadful lines until
fully ten or fifteen years later than
her sister who leads busy town life.
Some faces contract wrinkles at
quite an early stage of youth; little
children not in the least bad tenn
pered-often sleep with frown upon
their faces. and this habit leads TO Il
wrinkled forehead But the wrinkles
thus formed are not the ugliest by any
means. Those most to be dreaded
are the little lines which appear round
the eyes and mouth from the falling
away or the bad condition of the skin
of the face. In some cases this is due
to an over dryness of the skin and
here facial massage does wonders
with an application of really proper
skin foods and creams for its nourish-
ment
One consolation the woman whose
skin wrinkles easily may take to heart
is that she will never be troubled
from that very trying thing-a greasy
complexion. 1t is when you are young
that all these details should be attend
ed 10. in order to prevent the encroach-
ment of wrinkles. Some natures are
more given to worrying than others.
and ii shows distinctly on their faces;
but even SO. with the skilled experts
who live among us much can be done
to combat this enemy 10 woman's
beauty But be very careful not to
experiment with all sorts of new
treatments of which you know nothing
and which may not be genuine. Study
instead the ordinary laws of health
and hygiene. treating your complexion
in a scientific maner, such as the lead
ing measures of the day will ever adj
wise Unknown cosmetics are, indeed,
dangerous to use and in many cases
will do more harm than good.

a ROPE OF NECKTIES.
Cowboy Dude Uses His Large As
sortment to Escape from Jail.
Requested That His Collection of
Some 500 BrilIiant-Hued Scarfs
BE Given Him When lie
Was Locked Up.

''Tankee Ted" who has been known
as the cowboy dude" in the Sweet
water country, by reason of his par
TALLY for neckties Of various kinds and
hues, is credited with an escape from
the county Jail of Sweetwater IN a re-
markable and curious manner Ted's
method of diversion, when he came to
Laramie, Wyo., after the round-ups,
was in the purchase of neckwear, and
he has been known to depart for the
range country from 200 TO 300 neckties
richer on various occasions. Recently
the cowboy was arrested for misappro-
Eriating cattle, and lodged in the Sweet
water Jail until the grand jury should
meet, in default of bail. He made but
one request, and that was that his neck
ties be allowed to keep him company,
and they were brought in from his
range headquarters by some compan-
ions. II is calculated that the boxes
thus taken into the cell contained some
500 ties. the styles ranging from the
latest bows TO four-in-hands. Ted's cell
was in the third story of the Jail, and
the warden was considerably surprised
the other morning, on going TO the
back of the building, to find rope of
gaudily colored four-in-hands dangling
from the window of the cowboy dudes
cell. Investigation showed that he had
forced two of the bars at the window.
woven strong rope from his multitude
of ties, and gained his liberty. The only
wonder eXnrassed IN tho Sueafvafe
country is that the fastidious cowboy
allowed the necktie rope to remain
after he had made his escape.

Hunters Come Upon Him Unexpected
~ and Have Their Hands
Full.

George Cleric and Claude Stiles,
while hunting for rabbits around Lake
Mohpac, in the northern part of West
chester county, on Tuesday morning,
came to steep cliff overlooking the
lake, says the Mount Vernon (N. y
correspondent of the New York Press.
They saw tracks of rabbit in the snow
leading to the edge of the cliff, and eau
tiously followed them.
Cleric, who was leading the trail, sud
denly stopped and iumpe back as big
gray eagle came flying swiftly toward
them.
Fire, quick!' Cleric shouted TO
Stiles. Both raised their rifles, but be-
fore the former could pull the trigger
the big bird was upon him. His com
rade fired, but only wounded the eagle
in the leg.
BY this time Cleric was in the
clutches Of the eagle. which iabbed its
big claws in his body, tearing his flesh
and his clothing. Stiles was afraid TO
fire again for fear he would kill his
chum, so he tried to brain the bird with
the butt of his gun. Cleric. though
bleeding from many wounds. did not
give up hope. Finally he managed to
unsheath a hunting knife which he
carried in his belt, and this he plunged
into the eagles breast. The big bird re-
leased its hold. and. tottering to the

PerfnIned EianneIs.

Perfumed flannel is a new fad.
Fashionable women who wish to have
the subtle fragrance of violets for
ever clinging about them and who yet
have distaste for the pronounced
odor of perfumes. line the drawers of
their dressing cases and bureaus with
flannel which has been subjected to
bath in violet water. The dainty
fancy is an expensive one. In France
the violet flannel sells for $500 yard
and heliotrope flannel costs SIS.
1t is common thing for women to
buy twenty or thirty pounds Of powder
for sachets for various clothes rooms
and wardrobes.
Of course these things come under
the head Of dry perfumes. as do the
highly scented tablets which women
use in the bath. and the perfumed me-
dallionS which some women now wear
suspended about the neck, or in the
pocket These perfumed medallions
were fashionable in Elizabath's time,
also. and soon became mediums for
the most exquisite devices in jewelry.
and were offered as gifts as we offer
lockets or pendants today. However,
these amuletS probably originated with
the East Indians. for the ancient Per
slams used solidified perfumes almost
exclusively and were fond Of burning
them. Bran bags combined with per-
fumed soap are also popular for the
bath, as they not only leave pleas
ant scent about the person. but the
bran is supposed to soften and whiten

The Situation as it is at Present.

The Abbeville Meridional is greatly
in error when it says that the case of
small pox at Gueydanswas due to the
neglect of the Acadia authorities, for
President Webb of the parish board
of health has not left a stone unturn-
ed to do his duty all times. The 8
cases of small pox at Mermentau
were confined exclusively to one
house and with the attention of DIR.
Webb it was prevented from spread
ing. Another case reported at Ferris
rcahal, May l4th, and was at once
isolated and all parties exposed were
vaccinated, this case was traced to
Gueydan, Vermilion parish.
One case in Roberts cove and the
other at the 'Abbott-D uson canal we're
attended to at once and all precau-
tionary measures taken to prevent the
spreading. The two last mentioned
cases were directly traced to Crowley
where several cases now exist. We
are reliably informed that the spread
is due to the ia which the
board of health of Crowley handle
their patients. They send patients
to the pest house but fail to disinfeet
the house with the proper disinfect-
ants.-Rayne Tribune.
Now, neighbor Tribune, we were
very careful to.state that we were in
formed that the small pox near Guey-
dan had been imported from Acadia
parish. We could not make oath to
that effect. But since writing that
we understand that DR.. Richard
whom the State Board Of Health sent
out as an expert to visit the small pox
camp near Gueydan and examine into
the situation, ran across a Ease of
small pox on the train going to Guey-
dan which case had just5been shipped
out of Crowley! He reported the
fact to DR.. Souchon, president of the
State Board Of Health. We know
nothing of the source of infection in
the Ferris canal case, but doubt its
coming from Vermilion. In the face
of your own admissions it is not fair to
presume it was shipped out Of Crow
ley?

Country Mills Our Salvation.

The Times Democrat says that the
New Orleans rice mills may combine
their interests, and some such move
ment is secretly on foot. The Ma
tional denies any connection with the
combine. OF curse it viii be diff
cult to trace the combine, as it is in
all trusts, but the situation will bear
close watching. Back in the early
nineties it was the operations of the
oppressive New Orleans combine that
forced the erection of country mills
as the only salvation of the rice in
dustry. The dozen or more rice mills
in the country are rapidly reducing
the Importance of New Orleans as a
rice center, and one more combine
will be just about enough to blot the
Crescent City out of the rice field en-
tirely.-Jennings Times.
