CONTROL YOURSELF.
Nothing Ages a Woman So Quickly
and Surely MS Giving Way to
Temper and Worry.

Never give way to fits of i'll temper.
Every sensible woman ought to be
aware that bad temper and worry will
trace more wrinkles in week than
hot and cold bathing and massage and
complexion brushes and creams and
lotions can remove in years faithful
application.
Physicians assert that an immense
amount of nerve-force is expended in
every fit of bad temper; that when one
little part of the nervous system is in
juriously affected, the face first records
it. The eyes begin to lose the luster
of youth, muscles become tlabby, the
skin refuses to contract accordingly,
and the inevitable result is wrinkles,
woman's fercest and most insidious
foe
Indulging in a fit of temper not only
makes a woman old and ugly before
her time, but it actually shortens life.
Moreover, every time she loses control
of her temper she unhinges a moral
brain-cell and weakens by several de-
grees her capacity for self-control.
The oftener she permits herself to
indulge in what she believes to be
righteous indignation, the more fire.
quently she finds such occasions pre-
senting themselves, for life is full OF
such irritating opportunities.
1t is these frequent bursts Of passion
that prevent women from growing old
SO beautifully that they seem to re.
tain their youthful attractions, and,
like tree, become more amiable with
age.
A mouth that from habit has set
itself in an aggrieved or hard line soon
settles in a grim curve that writes
years of age upon a woman's face, and
imparts a discontented and disagree
able expression which repels all de-
sire for intimacy on the part of hel
acquaintances.
No matter how beautiful and brainy
and fascinating the bad-temperet
woman may be, or how lengthy hel
bank account, her power is infinitesi
NAL compared with that of her amiablt
sister. And amiability is not only pow
er; it is mental progression, health
happiness and long life to ones sell
and to ones friends and family.-N. Y

ENGLISHMEN LET IN.
The Emma Mine n Five Million Dellar
Bubble That Caused InternR-
tional Complications.

At the head of Little Cottonwood
canyon in the Wasatch mountains of
Utah, above the spot out of which the
huge blocks of the great Mormon tenn
pie at Salt Lake were quarried,
precipitous canyon walls, scattered
piles of battered boards and other
debris form disconsolate relics of a
once thriving city of 10000 inhabit-
ants. Here and there on the steep
sides of the hills are the dumps which
tell of former activity in the numer-
GUS mines. An occasional shaft
house and few other buildings have
been stanch enough to withstand the
avalanches that formerly swept down
the mountain sides and buried under
% to 80 feet of snow the city at the
bottom of the cleft, says EugeBe b.
Palmer in Ainslee's. One shaft
house stands on the hill close by
the city's ruins. On this town site
was once the famous mining camp of
Alta. The shafthouse marks the EN-
ma mine, $5,O00,000 bubble that
stirred two nations.
Here the first mines Of Utah were
located by soldiers of Camp Douglas,
in 1864. Duty called officers and pri-
Yates elsewhere, however, and as there
was no railroad to transport the ores
the claims were abandoned. When
the railroad came miner named j.
f. Woodman relocated one of the
claims and il became the Emma mine,
from which silver ore was taken OF
such marvellous richness that all
America became excited in 1870, and
miners flocked in from every side. But
in 1871 the owners of the Emma came
to the conclusion that the mine was
| on the point of being worked out
| Trenor w. Park and Senator William
NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, made trip to
England, They organized company
Of which they made United States
Minister Robert c. Schenck, who
taught the Englshmen the great
American game of draw poker, di-
rector. All speculative London tum-
bled over itself to get some of the
precious stock, which was supposed
to act like the touch of Midas. The
mine was unloaded TO this aggrega-
ton of Englishmen for S5,00O,000.
| The new owners sent over some
managers, who INDUCED in the wild
est extravaganza. In six months the
mine was losing so much that work
ceased entirely. England was en-
ragged. A congressional committee in
vestigated the conduct of Minister
Schenck and recommended that he be
censured for his share in the trans
action. At present the only human
being about the mine is a watchman,
and he takes his pay in working the
streaks of rich ore that still remain,
confident that some day the property
will be again worked on large scale
and that discreet management will
uncover untold wealth. Many persons
to-day are positive that the collapse
of the Emma mine was due entirely tc
the management.

on the outer edge. In this way she
inclosed the land in incontestable fash
ion. She had hired man with her,
but she drove the plow. The next
day small cabin was built for the
hired man. She lived in Guthrie until
a tiny house could be built, then took
personal possession. Five years of
residence were required to perfect the
claim, but at the end of two years the
young woman was ready TO return
to the east, and transferred her rights
to settler, who paid enough for the
claim to give the enterprising pre-
emptor a clear profit of more than
81 600. She had seeded 60 acres to
cotton and the remainder to corn and
wheat, and was employing so negro
hands when she transferred the
claim.
Another nurse timber claimed"
homestead which is done by planting
trees in treeless soil. She set out 800
trees, built log cabin and sent for
her family in Sweden, consisting of
mother, sister and brother She has

surrounding homesteads, and is MAX

On Long Island is farm bought
by several trained nurses Of New
York few years ago. There were
three in the enterprise at first, but
Miss Mary L. Cromwell and Misc
Clara Watkins bought out the third,
who wished to relinquish her interest.
Their idea is to have home to
which they can retire when old and
unable to continue in active profes-
sional life. They rent the farm on
shares to an energetic man, and re-
serve two rooms in the house for their
own occupancy when at liberty to
leave the city. They expect to have
the place free from mortgage within
q few years.
In Georgia is a farm devoted to
mistletoe and holly growing. 1t is
owned by the Carteledge family, con-
sisting of mother and two daughters,
but the daughters do the farming"
Their negro farm hands would not
plant holly tree for worlds, as they
believe that if they did they would
die as soon as the tree became tall
enough to cast a shadow the measure
of their graves.
Last Christmas the sisters found
the trees so grown that they re-
quired thinning out, and the trees
that were removed were sent north
for Christmas trees and brought high
prices, as they were symmetrical and
covered with large, rich berries. They
plant the mistletoe berries under the
bark of old oak trees, in the fork or
hollow, where they can get hold as
they germinate.
Kansas has its successful women
farmers, too. Helen and Edith Ray

died some years ago, leaving them a
few thousand dollars. 1t was not
enough to support them in the city,
and they finally decided to buy a
farm. They bought so acres in Jack.
