The parafin treatment is very much
liked by those who have tried it.
cit is fine if you can live through
it," said woman who experimental
with it and who looks back with shud-
dering to the pain the treatment
caused.
The paraffin wrinkle remedy sbe-
ing tried everywhere and it is work
ing wonderfully we'll. The operation
briefly described consists in injecting
parafin under the skin.
Hypedermic needles are filled with
the oil and then jabbed into the skin
and the parafin is squirted beneath
the cuticle. As soon as it is beneath
the skin it grows hard, and after a
few days it actually unites with the
tissues and becomes part of them.
Meanwhile, the irritation is great,
and the woman who has experiment
ed is often sorry that she tried to re-
move her wrinkles in this way. But
once having started in she cannot
back out.
OF course, it is nice to fill out your
wrinkles quickly, and it is indescri-
baby pleasant to walk into beauty
shop a wrinkled old woman and come
out smooth faced young woman, but
there are certain drawbacks to this
treatment which must be obvious,
and, among them, expense is not
least /; nor is the irritation of the skin
to be ignored. If your skin and
blood are not in good condition, the
result might be most serious.
Spreading good thin cold cream
on the forehead every night and pat
ting it until it becomes a part of the
cuticle, is pretty sure way to re-
move wrinkles. In truth, it answer
every purpose.
No set of wrinkles, however deep,
will be proof against such an attack
as this, but you must persist in it.
Don't let up for single night.
The woman who paid thousand
dollars to have a wrinkle removed
was told to do this:
Steam the face once a week with
hot cloths.
Massage a good soft skin food we'll
into the skin after steaming.
Massage the flesh every night with
pore food.
Take off the accumulation of dust
each day with cream no thicker than
cream of milk.
Massage the cheeks nightly with
something to make the skin brisk and
lively.
Wash the face we'll every night
before putting in the pore food.
And, finally, cultivate the habit
of sleeping so that there may be no
creases in the face. The Chinese wo-
men and the Japanese, who never
have wrinkles, sleep on hard bed
with no pillow. They do not bury
the face in soft feathers. They
never get up with a batch of creases.
They arise with the face smooth and
fair.

WOMEN MUST KNEEL TO MEN.

Men in Africa, and especially in east
central Africa, believe that their wo-
men are their interiors, and many CEN
turies ago, says the Chicago Tribune,
they made law that has worn itself
into custom that women must ac-
knowledge this by always kneeling
when they meet man.
Duff Macdonald, who spent many
years as missionary in that country,
say that African women hold most
degraded position and are looked upon
pretty generally as beasts of burden
capable of doing all the hard work.
When woman meets man, be it
her husband or a stranger, at home or
on the road, she is expected to "taidi-
wala"-that is, to kneel and clap her
hands to the lord of creation as he
passes. Although a woman may have
slaves of her own, she observes this
custom whenever she meets them on
the highway.
Macdonald adds: whenever we
saw woman go out of her way with
the intention of kneeling before us,
though she carried a hundredweight
on her head, knowing that she would
have to get up with it, we shouted,
You are losing your way this is
the path and she took it, glad that
she might dispense with this Gus
TOM"
Certain it is that if the African
woman kneels before a stranger or
slave she prostrates herself most hum
bly, before her husband, her lord and
master. He is her father, and she
is his child +; he commands, and she
obeys; he may inaict punishment,
and she accepts it.
The title of father" is given to all
old people. A man of thirty will say
"I am only a child ask the old
man."
The woman must submit, of course.
She is her husbands chattel; he has
bought her for two skins of bucks,
and this is fair price for one wife.
He often gets them in payment for
debts.
If girl is not first wife she counts
for little, as these Africans usually
have one chief wife and three or four
minor wives. A man who is married
few years is expected to have ju-
nior wives. The chief wife has the
superintendent of the others and
looks after the household. The pun
ishment she inhicts for laziness is to
Danish the junior wife from her meals
until hunger brings her to her senses.
If junior wife is obstreperous she is
put in slave stock.
The authority of chief wife is not
matter to jest with. If a junior
wife gets unruly the whipping post
is made use of. This does not an
noy her lord, for African men have
little sentiment for their wives and
feel none for their junior wives.
They are his chattels, having the
same value as his cattle, perhaps less.
When a man is pressed for money he
usually sells his wife and not his cat
tie. He expects them to cultivate
the soil and cut down the trees, and
when he finds time or has the incli-
nation he helps them.

BUrrAIoEs OF PABLO HERD.


Indian reservation in Montana to set
tlement the coming summer the last
large band of buffaloes in the United
States will be scattered to the four
winds or else removed to the Black
feet reservation further north, or into
the Milk River country of the Cana
dian provinces.
This is the statement made by How
ard Eaton, of Wyoming, who is in
terested in the largest herd of buffa-
loes in the world, mostly be-
longing to Michael Pablo, who has a
herd of about $50 on the Flathead
reservation, according to the Helena
Independent.
"The Pablo herd is the largest in
existence said Mr.. Eaton, "and
comprises one-third of all the buffa-
Ices in the world. A few years ago.
Sl4E Buffalo Jones went broke on
a big irrigating scheme, he sold his
buhch, which was then in Kansas, to
to Pablo and Allard, making the
largest herd of pure bloods now in the
world, and carrying the strains of the
old herds of Texas, Indian Territory
western and northern Montana,
North Dakota and Manitoba. Jones
built his ditch all right, but he got
no water, SO that his venture was
disastrous failure.
"When afterward purchased the
Allard interests there were 400 in the
herd, and I secured four-ffth Of the
Allard holdings. I have been grad
ually selling them off, and this year
I expect to have disposed of nearly
all Of these.
During the last summer Mr.. Eaton
accompanied Count Ernest Bernstroff
and. his son Arthur on an extended
hunting trip through the Flathead
country, and as the Count wanted to
secure a pair of buffalo heads to take
to his home at Quaden, Schoenfeld,
near Wisebaden, Germany, Mr.. Ea-
ton sold him two buffalocs from his
bunch on the reservation, and the
Count and his son had the pleasure
of stalking them for day or two be-
fore they got good chance to shoot
them, even at long range.
Buffaloes are now 81 900 pair,
bull and cow, and in a few years will
be hard to get at any price.
In speaking of the breeding of these
animals, Mr.. Eaton says that the
bunch on the reservation produced
sixty-six claves in 1904 and fifty-fve
in 1903. He sold the Government a
herd Of twenty in October, 1902, two
bulls and eighteen cows for the Vel
lowstone Park, and they have now,
in two years. increased to forty.
The mixed breeds, of which Pablo
has quite number, crossed with poll
ed Angus cattle, are easily distinguish
ed by the heightened tail, finer hair
in the coat, and the hair on the fore
legs is shorter. On the full bloods
the hair hangs from the knees almost
toathe ankle, while it is much shorter
on the mixed breeds. The buffalo
will feed with his head against the
wind, being so well protected by the
shaggy coat around the shoulders, but
mixed breeds are inclined to turn
their tail towards the win d, like
common cattle.
Pablo, the owner of the great herd,
is of mixed blood, and a direct des-
cendant of some of the early Hudson
Bay trappers. He is about 63 years
old, has family of several children
and is worth at least 5000, 900, half
of it being in cash. While unedu-
Gated, Pablo is, nevertheless, very
shrewd, and one of the finest men in
the Flathead country.

It will surprise you to find how read
lily you can dispose of task within
a certain time if you convince your
self that you have to. 1t is the feel

engagement with yourself and do
not let the business of one item
cut into the time set for the next.
These definite engagements with

A PRIEST INVENTOR.

Rev. John ]. Farrell, of Atlantic
City, N. J., has been notified by the
Commissioner of Patents that his ap-
plication for a patent device for the
rapid counting and wrapping of coins
of all denominations has been granted.
The machine, in a single operation,
counts and wraps coins of any de-
nomination and of any desired size
bundle in from three to FIVE seconds.
It will count and not wrap, that is,
will verify the amount or number OF
coins received in bulk, as in bank,
from the sub-treasury or from any
large depositors. 1t will wrap even
if the counting is done by hand.
Crooked, foreign or mutilated coins
are detected. By throwing a register
into action the number of all coins is
recorded or registered.
It places the owners name on the
wrapper of each bundle for identified
ton by the bank receiving his de-
posit. When the number of coins in
the hopper of the machine is insuffi-
cient to make a full package, the
counting mechanism will lock, and
remain so until released or more coins
are placed in the receptacle.
AS for accuracy it will not vary one
coin in its count in a million because
it is so constructed that it cannot
make mistake. If fed and kept in
operation the wonderful machine will
actually count 100, 900 coins in an
hour.
Father Farrell met many discour-
agements in trying to have his inven-
ton tested, but finally he interested
the president of one of the largest
banks in the country. The banker
provided 5000, 900 in fractional cur
rency, then witnessed the operation
in amazement as the coins were neatly
wrapped and counted and returned to
him.
"It is what all bankers and money
counters have been looking for since
the production of coins assumed man.

necessity in the banking room can
