Pipes and the Lips.

The constant habit OF smoking pipes
has perceptible effect upon the face
The pressure Of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases the curva-
ture Of the lips round the stem, and
the muscles become more rigid here
than In other parts. Thus the lips at
certain point become stronger, and the
pipe Is unconsciously held in the same
habitual position. After long continu-
alton of the habit small circular wrin-
kles form parallel with the curvature
of the lips around the stem. These are
crossed by finer lines caused 10y the
pressure Of the lips to retain the stem
m position. In the case Of old men
who have smoked pipe for years the
effect upon the lips Is very marked.
not only altering the form Of the lips,
but of the one entire side Of the face,
causing the wrinkles that are the re-
suit of age to deepen and instead of
following the natural course OF facial
wrinkles to change their course so as
TO radiate from the part of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried.
Furthermore, one or both lips often
protrude, just like the lips Of people
who used to suck their thumbs when

Wanted the "Grocery Seats"

Leigh Lynch while he lived was a
happy man. In the first place, he was
the husband of lovely and gentle Anna
Teresa Berger, the belle OF the bell
ringers In her girlhood; secondly, he
had the years long friendship and In
innate companlonship Of Eugene Field;
thirdly, he was the father of a family
Of children In whom was centered his
unselfsh hope. He used to carry his
business cares and pleasures home,
where he was always sure Of ready
and generous sympathy. For several
years he was treasurer Of the Union
Square theater in New York. One
evening at dinner, in the presence OF
his little daughter, Marie, he men
toned to Mrs. Lynch that the gross
receipts Of the week had risen to an
unprecedented height. The next day
Marie asked to be taken to the natl
nee.

fond father. What seats would you

Gunpowder.

The explosion of gunpowder IS divid-
ed into three distinct stages, called the
Ignition, Inflammation and combustion.
The ignition is the setting on fire Of
the first grain, while the Inflammation
Is the spreading Of the flame over the
surface Of the powder from the point
of ignition. Combustion IS the burn
ing up Of each grain. The value Of
gunpowder IS due TO the fact that
when subjected TO sufficient heat 1t be-
comes a gas which expands with
frightful rapidity. The so called ex-
ploslon that takes place when a match
is touched TO gunpOwder Is merely a
chemical change, during which there
Is a sudden evolution Of gases from
the original solid. If has been cal
culated that ordinary gunpOwder OF
exploding expands about 5000 times
or fills Il space this much larger as q
gas than when in n solid form. When
this chemical change takes place IN
a closed vessel the expansion may be
made to do a work like that OF forcing
a projectlle along the bore OF the
great gun or test tube In the line OF
least resistance.
