Beauty Reouires SIeep.

Sleep Is a great preserver of youth. Eight hours at night and q short nap In the day will do much to keep the face free from wrinkles. Always sleep with the bedroom window open . few inches at the top, both in summer and winter. A daily morning bath, tepid in winter and cold in summer, with a brisk rub to follow. will keep the skin fresh and clear. Two hours must be spent in the open air, walking, riding or playing games.
 All tight clothing and especially tight lacing must be avoided, as com precision disturbs the circulation and IS often the cause of enlarged veins and red noses.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH WOLVES.
East of the Brutes Choked to Death
 by the Mighty Hunter.

ASo8t OK Inc Brute. Cno1e0 10 Dcntn
 by the Mighty Hunter.
 Clancy backed up against q tall fir, licked oil his skees and stood ready for them. In a moment they saw him, stopped and separated twenty feet, as to attack him on the side and rear. Taking careful aim at gray wolf as 1t came at him, Clancy fired directly in Its face, dropping 1t; he whirled to fire at the one to his left, when tho third sprang upon him. A flash and howl that told the second animal was wounded; with a powerful kick he caught the third between the forelegs and sent 1t flying backkard. .- For a moment the two beasts staggered. He tried to fire again, but found that he had dropped the revolver. In frenzy he seized the dead wolf and flung 1t at the others as they came on. He struck ono a fierce blow under the jaw with bis boot and made a slashing cut with his long knife, at which one of the wolves sprang around behind. At this he unslung the child and, holding 1t high in air with one hand, attempted to toss 1t into the low shell-like branches of the tree. But as he held 1t aloft the wounded wolf sprang upon him, sprang and met the long blade that sank into its throat.
 The force of the rush threw the man down and away from the tree. Drop ping the bag into the soft snow, he seized his long skee that he had thrust, end upward, in the snow and waited. The white wolf. the specter of It's kind, ran back and came at him with many false starts, then with yelp dashed straight on. Clancy intended to use the skee as a club, but the thought suddenly found lodgment in his De- number brain that If this broke he was lost 50 he dropped It and sprang to meet the brute with a maddened cry gr-r-r-r-r-in his throat.
 The wolfs mouth was open and with . movement like the flash of light he grasped the lower jaw, back of the sharp canines. bent 1t down with his giant strength, at the same time grip ping the throat with his left hand, and the two rolled in the snow from which came horrible cries, growls, impreca- tons, the sounds that go with enforced gtrangulation and despair of man or beast Not for a moment did the des- perate man release his grip; the huge, doglike beast tore ridges in his face with Its fore claws, while the man beast, bearing 1t down, in turn tried to fasten his teeth upon the animals throat Slowly and surely he choked 1t, not releasing his hold until the brute was almost stiff.-McClure's Magazine
