Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
Nothing is so destructive to the peace Of
a pretty womans soul the discovery
of the first wrinkle in her fair face.
Gray hairs may be tolerated, for often
their framing softens the tints Of the
complexion and adds new depths and
brightness to the eyes that flash beneath
them. Many pretty women, indeed, are
never really beautiful until they are crown
ed with the sheen of silver tresses.
The fading tnts of a well-kept and
smooth skin may be concealed by artifices
that every woman knows, but a wrinkle IS
an obstinate, disagreeable, aggressive wit
ness that bears evidence of age in unpictur-
esque language, convincing as the rec
ords of the family Bible or the testimony of
some old friend Of your mothers, who Is
always telling people that you are Just two
years older than her Kate when, perhaps,
you look ten years younger.
Fortunately, If beauty Is but skin deep,
ugliness extends no deeper-at least, SO far
as wrinkles are concerned
This comforting assurance was made by
a matron who met her best friend the other
day, and displayed under the merciless
morning sun a face as smooth and rosy as
that of Il school girl.
OF course, her best friend wanted to know
the cause of this rejuvenation. 1t was
massage-the electrical massage roller and
massage with the finger tips. The matron
also gave her friend valuable points on the
subject of face cleansing, which precedes
the treatment
Few women know how to wash their
faces. They seem to think that all that is
necessary IS to dabble it with little soap
and water Others go TO work with
Turkish towel and don't stop until they
have succeeded in rubbing the skin off in
spots.
That the face IS delicate is an admitted
fact, and that it requires delicate handling
is IL natural inference, but women do not
seem - realize that ii is more exposed than
the hands, and. therefore, requires more
careful attention.

ELECTRIC ANESTHESIA.
Temporary Loss of the Motor Senses
Through the Application of
the Current.

A French Investigator has been ex-
perimenting with the electric current
to produce anesthesia. After duly
fortifying himself with a number of
experiments upon animals he extend
ed his researches to the human body,
experimenting at first upon himself.
He finds by applying a current, the
exact character of which is not stated,
to the body, through moistened cleo
trodes, placed one on the forehead
and the other over the small of the
back, that with a voltage of so
complete inhibition takes place. The
faculty of speech is first lost, followed
finally by the inhibition of the func-
tions of the other motor senses. 1t
is asserted that it's only disagreeable
feature is that which accompanies the
gradual loss of the faculties, resulting
in a sensation of a nightmare. The
heart is said to be unaffected, but the
breathing is somewhat obstructed. The
current strength is gradually applied,
about five minutes being occupied in
reaching the maximum. When the
current is switched off the subject
awakens at once and with "feeling
of invigoration."

TREE PLANTING HINTS.
Much Depends on Preparation of the
Soil and Doing the Work just
mt the Right Time.

A hole should be dug three feet wide
placed in the center, and the hole filed
in with rich soil. Different varieties of
trees require different depths in the
soil. You will find a mark on all trees
showing the depth that they should
grow. Plant two inches deeper than
they originally grow in the nursery
rows. This will allow for settling.
Before filing in the soil around the
roots of the tree straighten the roots
in proper position and fill in with rich
earth, tramping the earth solid around
the roots. If any part of the roots is
broken by digging, prune back from
the under side of the root to the live
wood. Leave branches as low as pos
sible to the ground; this will shade the
body of the tree.
Trees are damaged from the south
and the southwest by the rays of the
sun.
The current of sap that feeds the
roots comes from the leaves of the
tree. The water which falls on the
leaves follows down the leaf stem to
the bark of the tree. When examined
with n microscope you will find that
the wood is perfectly porous. Any
thing that disturbs the bark of the tree
stops the flow of sap that feeds the
roots, thereby enabling insects to more
successfully attack the trees. There
are nNmerous things to prevent this.
First, the trees should be washed to
kill the insects in the months of April
and May. This will destroy the germs
that make the worms and the borers.
Such can be prevented with very lit
tie expense. There are numerous
chemicals that will kill the insects, but
the cheapest and best thing you can use
is to make a solution of soft soap; say,
take five boxes of concentrated lye and
35 pounds of lard boil into a slurry, set
aside and cool. Use as whitewash
This rule of washing will apply to all
shrubs and vines.
The main feature in getting the
trees and plants to grow is not to plant
too deep and to plant with rich earth
| and have the earth solid around the
plants when planted, and not to plant
| too late in the season, when the stock
| is in bud.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

AMAZING STATISTICS.
Ehs Trem endous Monetary Force
T. Welded by United states In
surance Companies.

Probably very few people who live
and work outside the money markets
have ever paused to consider the tre-
mendous monetary force welded by
the insurance companies of the United
States. The amount of money that
these concerns handle Is enormous,
says Success. One may read that at
present the 67 leading life insurance
companies of the United States hold Sc
curities of all kinds that aggregate
more than S1,500,000,O00 Imagination
fails to grasp such figures. It's equiva-
lent to saying that there are 1900
banks in the country, each of which
has $1,0Oo,O00 which it must keep in
vested.
Striking as these figures are, they do
not include the holdings of the lesser
insurance companies, and they pay
no heed to the money controlled by the
little multitude of large and small fire
insurance, companies.
OF course, the bulk Of the money held
by an insurance company has to be in
vested; that is to say, every dollar not
needed for running expenses and for
the prompt payment of claims. 1t is
like a fairy tale of finance when one
reads what use is made of the millions
on millions paid to insurance compan-
les.
During the year 1901, for example,
the total of the incomes of the 81 lead
ing life insurance companies was some
thing like $376 100000. OF this money
about S175 100000 was paid to policy
holders or to their heirs. More than
$77,0o0,000 was disbursed for operating
expenses. Still, more than $120,0oo,000
was left.

type of pure Greek architecture will
harmonlze with the general style of the

If every large specimens or prize
flowers are desired, these strong canes
must be cut back to two or three buds,
but If the bushes are grown more for
decoration or quantity, rather than
size, these canes must be cut as shown,
In allowing strong canes to come up

stroy any that start from below the

As shown in the cuts, the bud must

Place of be Natural Organ
Lost in a Duel.

In his lecture before the last
meeting of the Chemical Society of
Washington upon the Old Chemical
Society of Prague, Bohemia, organ
lied during the middle ages, under
the reign of Rudolph H., DIR. II. Car
rington Bolton had occasion to call
attention to the somewhat we'll
known fact that Tycho Brahe, who,
by the way, was a member of this,
the earliest chemical society of Eu-
rope, wore silver nose. 1t appears
that when a young man the great
astronomer fought duel in which
he had the misfortune to lose that
important member and was obliged
to wear n silver one instead, says the
Washington Post.
'"This," DR.. Bolton stated, che was
in the habit of removing at night
when he slept, and one night his
favorite dog managed to gain pos
session of his masters silver nose,
which, hfter he had played with it all
night long, was of very little service
the day following. Tycho was in
great distress the next morning
when, after an hour search, he
found his precious nose battered and
chewed out of all shape and service.
In order, therefore, to avoid future
accidents Tycho hied him to the sill
versmith's and had ten silver noses
made in place of the one. One of
these" said DR.. Bolton, "was pre-
served in one of the museums of Ger
many until the beginning of the
nineteenth century when, by some
mishap, it disappeared and thus far
has not been recovered"
