How WRINKLES Come.

Enough is said of the treatment of
wrinkles to make us all wise to avoid
them, if wisdom We're enough
But wrinkles. like love. will find out
= way, and in spite of r,assage and oils
and balms, wrinkles will set their deli
'ate seal of thought and perplexity
0on the forehead and under the eyes
and about the lips.
The reason of wrinkles, any one will
ell you easily, is years. But why is il
that years make wrinkles? What con-
nection is there between the fight of
time over our heads and the fine trac-
cry upon our features?
Here is the explanation as well as a
layman can give it:
Underneath the skin, in the flesh, are
imbedded multitudes of little muscles
that hold the flesh and keep II as we
say solid and firm" The skin also
has certain muscular power of con,
tracing and stretching as necessity de-
mands, and which depends upon what
is called the tonicity of the skin.
AS years creep along the muscles
weaken and grow lax, no longer hold
ing the flesh up firm and hard as be-
fore. All the lines in the fact droop
therefore with age, and the flesh has a
tendency to fall down in little ridges.
Just the same thing happens to the
skin. 1t loses its contracting power
and relaxes. Then come the little
wrinkles. 1t win be seen then, that
Yrnkles are due to changes in the
onstitution of the skin itself.
-lnything that acts as n stimulant
non the skin. keeping it active and so
,eeping up the tone of the muscles, will
send to prevent wrinkles.
But even if they do come, why should
one be unhappy? They are as honor
nbl" as gray hairs. They indicate
thought as well as years; they give
character and dignity to the express
sion.
Freckles and sunburn have had their
day Of being fashionable. Why not
wrinkles? rhey are beautiful. IL we
only think so.-New York News.

Sheep Taste in Mutton.

Where sheep is killed and not
properly cooled, the "sheep taste" is
liable TO remain in the flesh. All sheep
possess this mutton flavor" but in
varying degrees 1t may be stated con-
fidently that scrub sheep used for the
work of clearing away brush and
weeds, and not fed any time of their
life on grain foods, will be most likely
to have the most Objectionable flavor.
This is also supposed to apply TO
sheep of the wool breeds. such as the
Merinos of the different families. Such
sheep are considered more greasy
than others, from the presence of a
great supply of "yolk" in their feeces.
Possibly this wool oil makes the flesh
of such sheep peculiarly liable TO the
taste that many find Objectionable.
There are, however, many Merino men
who specially feed certain of their
lambs for killing, and who say that
their flesh Is of good taste and quality.
and we have no reason to doubt their
word, although we have had no chance
to eat mutton from such sheep.
1t is a matter of fact. however, that
the flesh of the best mutton breeds
and of their well fed crosses has no
Objectionable flavor, unless the carcass
is too suddenly cooled. The flavor. in
fact. is very palatable to most folk. and
in our opinion is due to both feed and
breed. 1t is certain that foods do in
fluence the flavor of mutton and more
especially of mutton eds.-Shep-

The Warfare Against Weeds

The majority of weeds have followed
III the footsteps of man and have been
imported TO America from other coun.
tries. Nature provides that the ground
shall be covered with vegetation of
some kind, and where a man has taken
the best from the soil and left it de.
pleted, have pastured his fields until
weeds have grown and made rubbish
heaps. weeds which are peculiarly
adapted TO grow under these condi-
tions, take tn, place of grasses and
plants, whence they spread over the
better fields OF that and adjoining
farms.
Where soapy water Is thrown il will
be found the grass will die and plantaln
spring up and spread rapidly. A farm.
er who keeps his fields well fed with
manure, who treats his pastures in the
right way, who burns his rubbish and
who has proper drains will find his
warfare against the weeds greatly les
sencd. Yet with everything that can
be done. weeds will always exist to a
greater or less extent, and II is well TO
see if some of them have not few re-
decming traits. 1t viii be found that
dock is a good remedy for the sting of
nettles. Pigweed will keep the soil
from washing in the fall'in any garden
where 1t is common. Chickweed 1t is
SAID can be used as a weather prophet,
MS 1t expands If it is to be fine and
closes before rain occurs. Dandelions
shedding down when there is little or
no wind is also sign of rain. Thstles
ana some other weeds have flowers
that contain very sweet nectar and are
good food for bees and butterflies
Every cloud has a silver lining" so il
can be seen weeds are not altogether
an unmitigated evil.--H. Il. Haydock

How to Get Rid of sorreI.


There is no direct method of exter-
minating sorrel; it is too tenacious of
life to be easily vanquished First eff
forts must be given TO cultural meth
DDS. A succession of hoed crops. if
extra care is taken to let no plants es-
cape destruction. will greatly reduce
the numbers, but plants at the edges Of
the field and seeds in the soil will be
likely to restock the ground. 1t is
generally in pastures and clover lands
that the weed Is the greatest pest,
where it is not always expedient to
use the plow.
But whether the ground is under the
cultivator or in sod, chief reliance must
be had upon the means for increasing
the fertility. The land must be made
TO grow good crops by using manure
OF chemical fertilizers In this way
the weed is choked by the other plants.
and although it will not be extermin.
ated, yet it is so much reduced as no
longer to give trouble.
In this connection the use of air
slaked lime is especially TO be recon-
mended in addition to the fertilizers.
Lime has had reputation in this con-
nection for long time, and recent ex-
periments confirm the opinion. Its ap-
plication will do no harm to other
crops, and is usually decidedly benefi-
cial TO them. 1t is Il corrective for acid
