Pipes and the lips.

1he constant habit Of smoking pipes
has a perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases the curva-
Gtore of the lips round the stem, and
the muscles become more rigid here
than in other parts. Thus the lips at a
certain point become stronger, and the
pipe is unconsciously held in the same

Wolves Of tho Sea.

OF all the inhabitants Of the ocean
few are more destructive than the sea
wolf. kind Of dolphin which attains
when full grown length of fourteen
feet and weight Of 5000 pounds.
A swift swimmer, it is quick in its
movements. cunning as fox and has
an Unsuitable appetite. 1t feeds on the
young of seal. whale and walrus and
also on the tongue of the adult whale.
When a mother walrus perceives Il
sea wolf, she endeavors to throw her
cub on to an iceberg If one Is near.
Failing this. she gets 1t on top of her
head and swims with 1t above water.
But this is vain. Diving far below. the
fish of prey comes u? with tremendous
force. striking the frantic mother a
terrific blow and jolting the cub off
her head into the water. Here 1t falls
an easy victim to the assailant and IS
soon devoured.
In its work of destruction the sea
wolf is frequently aided by the thrash
er. a fish which can deliver a terrible
blow with it's tail

How to Get Poor Quick,

Do not try to save your loose change.
1t is too small an amount to put in the
savings bank. 1t would not amount to
much anyway. and there is great COM
fort in spending it. Just wait until you
get sufficient worth while before you
deposit it.
Do not try to economize. 1t is an in
fernal nuisance to always try to save
few cents here and there. Besides,
you will get the reputation Of being
mean and stingy. You want everybody
to think you are generous.
Just look out for today. Have a good
time as you go along Just use your
money yourself. Don't deprive your
self for the sake of laying up some
thing for other people to fight over.
Besides. you are sure of today. You
might not be alive tomorrow.-Success
