FACIAL GYMNASTICS
SOME REMEDIES FOR BLOTTING OUT
UNSlGhTLY WRINKLES.

Do Tou Laugh PrOperIys Do You
Chew Property Do You Hold Your
Head ProperIyg These Are Points to
BE Considered In the Beauty Cure.
wrinkles" said well known beau
ty doctor, are more often than not
caused by the fact that the face is not
sufficiently exercised. There are differ
ent groups of face muscles which are
supposed to get a certain amount of
exercise, just the same as the muscles
Of the body, and, If they do not, then
beauty is apt to disappear and wrin-
kles become prominent.
DO you laugh properly? Do you
chew correctly? Do you hold your
head in a right manner? Do you mas
sage when the face becomes fabby :
These are a few Of the questions
would ask women who complain about
wrinkles. All these things have an
important bearing on the appearance
CT the face. But any i'll effects brought
about by improper conduct in such di-
rections may be counteracted by the
following exercises:
Perhaps the forehead expresses
habitual worry and anxiety. There
are horizontal lines across 1t which are
extremely ugly, while the skin is slight

COLOR LINE ON MAIL CARS
Whites Make Complaint, but the Post
Office Department Will Not Re-
spond FavorabIy.

Washington, March 12.-The postof-
fee department does not intend to
draw the color line in the matter Of
white and negro railway mail clerks
working togetheron the same runs. AL
though an intimation has been given
the superintendent Of the railway mail
service that white clerks in the middle
west are preparing to request the de-
partment to effect a change so as to
put the negroes on runs which will not
bring them in proximity to the whites,
it was stated that no such discrimina-
ton could or would be made.
The particular objection which it is
said the white clerks have to associa-
ton with negroes on long runs is that
they are obliged to eat and sleep in
the same ear, the regulations Of the
department permitting a clerk on such
a run, when his work is up, to rest.

felt urging that the legislature sus-
pend all Japanese legislation, and ex-
pressing the fear that the action of the
senate Saturday in passing two anti
Japanese bills and resolution may
render ineffective his efforts to secure
exclusion of Japanese laborers by
friendly agreement with Japan.
The governor transmitted the presi-
dents telegram to the assembly,
where action was to have been taken
on the two bills and the resolution
adopted by the senate, with a message
recommending and urging that the
presidents request be acceded to. On
Stanton's motion the assembly by q
viva voce vote decided to take no &C
tion on the bills on file.

AXE THEY DOCS OR WOLVES?
On That Question Hangs Whether
They Are To Be Taxed or Put
to Death.

Muncie, Ind, March 10. Frank
Sweigart, a young blacksmith, has as
pet black wolf that was taken from
litter Of gray wolves, and the black
wolf has a litter Of cubs whose sire
is Scotch collie. The cubs or pups
are ten weeks old, lively and intelli-
gent. and look only slightly like wolves,
most Of them except for a slight wolf
formation about the head having the
appearance Of full-blood collies.
These little animals present an in
teresting problem for the assessors,
and also to their owner. If their own
er claims immunity from taxation for
them on the score that they are not
dogs. but wolves, then the animale
may be killed and a premium claimed
frem the county, which still pays a
bounty for wolf heads. If their own
er says they are dogs, they must then
be taxed.

yers argued the objection quickly made
by Delmas. In reply to Jeromes argu-
ment Delmas cited Jerome's own
words at the beginning Of the trial.
At that time the district attorney had
the court instruct the jury that young
Mrs. Thaw's testimony was permissi-
bic only as tending TO show what ef-
feet It's relations to Thaw may have
had in unseating his mind. The prose
cutor further said that under the rules
of evidence he would not be permit
ted to attack the truth of the story.
Now" said Delmas in conclusion.
she is attempting to do that very
thing" Jerome said he was not at
lacking the truth Of the story. He
was calling for an expert opinion to
the effect that no known drug would
produce the effect testified to by Mrs.
Thaw. my question indicates the an
swer l expect to get to this question"
said Jerome, land If can show there
is I1o such poison in the world; IL I
can show in short that there was no

street house as testified to, then it Is

to testify at all. as he was an entirely

Big Salary Raise.

The Pennsylvania railroad has grant
ed more increases in wages and its
employees are drawing more money for
the services performed than the en-
ployes on any Of the other railroad
companies of the United States. Dur
ing the year OF 1905. 100000 was
added to the pay roll of the company
employees. In October, $386,790 in
crease was granted to the telegraph
ers. In December all the employees on
the lines west of Pittsburg who were
earning less than $500 per month were
granted a 10 per cent. increase. which
meant an outlay OF sS,434,42 each
year, While last month the increase to
the station agents, porters, ETC., on the
lines east of Pittsburg amounted to
100000.

WRINKLE TIE EYES TO REMOVE WRINKLES
FROM THE EYELIDS.
ly drawn and colorless. Hold the head
free. Raise the eyebrows till there are
deep wrinkles across the forehead.
Now draw the eyebrows together in a
frown, making both horizontal and per
pendicular lines. Repeat this exercise
twenty-five times. Do not distort the
face. Let the muscles of the forehead,
the crown of the head and temples do
the work. You will find that you have
not counted many times before the
muscles become tired, and you then
realize that you are exercising them
The blood circulates freely through
them. They are getting rested from
their long inactivity. At the end Of
the exercise gently stroke the forehead,
smoothing out all the lines.
''Then, again, for lines over the eye
brows and crows feet the following
will be found an excellent remedy: Sit
erect, as before, and hold the head
high. Close the eyes firmly, using all
the strength of the muscles extending
from eyebrows up over the forehead,
across the temples and around the
eyes. Open the eyes without unduly
wrinkling the skin Of the forehead.
Do not distort other portions Of the
face in this exercise. Repeat twenty
five times.
''For sagging and fabby cheeks ex-
pand and contract the lips, using all
the strength possible in the muscles of
the cheeks, chin and around the mouth.
In doing this exercise the lips will be
open, and you will show both rows OF
teeth. You may not look pretty, but
the results are what interest you. This
exercise develops all the muscles OF
the lower part Of the face and of the
Jaws and neck, as you see by observ.
ing their action in the mirror.

Judges Instructions to Come.
WITNESS DIDN'T HELP THE STATE
Last Reply Was a Crusher to Jerome's
Hopes.

Lining up all his forces in Tebuttal
Jerome decided to open his fight upon
the defense by attacking the story told
the jury by Mrs. Harry Thaw. He
called to the stand Frederick W. Long
fellow, formerly an attorney for Thaw,
case In which Ethel Thomas is alleged
to have sued Thaw for damages be-
cause of cruel treatment. Delmas OBJ
jected to questions along the line I'M
der the professional privilege of law
yer and client, and the objection was
sustained. Then Jerome showed Long
fellow the Photographic copy Of the
affidavit Evelyn Nesbft is said to have
signed in the office of Abraham Hum
mel-alleging that Thaw treated her
cruelty while abroad in 1908 because
she would not tell lies against STAN
ford White
Jerome followed this up by asking
the witness if Mrs. Thaw had not
turned over to him certain papers TO
which she had subscribed. Longfel-
low said she had. There was a long
argument between Jerome and Del
mas. at the conclusion Of which Long
fellow turned his entire examination
to naught by declaring that Mrs. Thaw
had never shown him a paper similar
to the Hummel affidavit in any way.
lie thereupon was excused without
cross-examination.
Police officers who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy declared he act
ed nationally. Captain Hodgins, Of
the Tenderloin precinct, however, quail
fed his answer to the question by say
ing once that ''for man who had just
committed murder Thaw acted ration
ally" This was stricken out, and he
said "Well his eyes had a stare and
a gaze such as they show as l now
look at Them This answer also was
stricken out and finally the captain de-
clared:
.WeH. he seemed more rational than
irrational-and that's the best answer

WILL BE RAILROAD WONDER.
Air Line Planned TO Run Underground
a Good Many Miles.

The latest and biggest project of
David H. Moffat. the Colorado railroad
man, is an air line from Denver to
Salt Lake City over the continental
divide, midway between the Union
Pacific on the north and the Rio
Grande on the south, says the Rail-
road Mans Magazine.
David Moffat has dug down into his
own pocket and built several railroads
which nobody else had the courage to
tackle. He made money every time
But the present proposition is the
stiffest one he has encouraged yet.
AS soon as the scheme was preached
it met with opposition from the roads
that would be effected by it. When
it was suggested that Moffat was at
last up against job too big for him
and that he could not get route one
who knew him we'll remarked con-
fidently:
"A right of way block David Moffat :?
guess not. If there's no other chance
he'll cuss a right of way through"
He didn't have to go to such an ex-
IRENE, but he did have to furnish the
money for the building. New York
capitalists whom he visited refused to
advance any money for the building,
SO he said.
Never mind. I'll build it myself
We have a little money out in Col
orado, l and my friends. We can all
chip in and guess among us we can
make up a fair sized pot. The road is
one of the plums of Colorado, but it'll
take little shaking to bring it down"
1t took more than fair sized pot,
as the preliminary work for the sur
veys cost a quarter of a million dol
lars. The Burlington had tried to get
over the mountains and had become
frightened when million dollars had
been put into the work and brought
no visible results and Moffat bought
the rights the Burlington had ac-
CURED.
The first fifty miles of road out of
Denver cost $4,000 a mile, and the So
miles up the foothills to the Main
Range tunnel cost 100000 mile, all
this for grading before a single tie
was laid.
In II miles there are 20 tunnels
through solid granite, and the road
has every conceivable sort of curve.
from a horseshoe to a tennis racket,
Bridges and fills cost a million dollars.
Steam Shovel cut, thro y h rock. is @.
200 feet long and av -es 40 feet
deep.
The Main Range tunnel, nearly
three miles in length, is under James
Peak, at an elevation of $500 feet.
and cost three-quarters of q million
dollars. William Cook, whose firm
had the contract for bailding one of
the worst sections of the road, took
down $4,000 cubic yards of granite
with one blast. using 1000 kegs of
black powder and 10 boxes of dvna.
mite to do it.
The worst part of the road the
way through the mountains, has been
conquered. and what remains to he
done is comparatively easy. Through
out, the road is of standard gauge g
500 heavy Texas pine ties to the mile
instead of the usual $500. and so
pound rails, and all equipment fitted
for heavy through traffic. It was a
magnificent conception in railroad
building, and 1t took a magnificent
courage to risk millions of dollars in
a venture that had swallowed millions
and given no return.
