For instance a person of intense viii
sends out unconsciously and involun-
tarily messages to certain muscles o.
the face. Through constant repetition
of this message. the features in time
become set in that pose and the face
settles into the expression OF decieta,t
and character, and from being plain
and uninteresting becomes marked with
magnetic power and charm, and from
being merely pretty IL becomes radiant
with animation, dignity and appeal.
Not only does thought produce its
distinctive expression in the face but
II produces actual change in the form
OF the face. Muscular action always
causes an increased flow of blood TO the
muscles exercised, and the increased
flow Of blood means an increase IN the
size Of the muscle. Apply this prin-
cipie 70 the face. We find that express
sion consists simply in tho action Of
certain muscles which are frequently
or habituaily used Consequently the
face gradually changes its form, cor
responding always TO the habitual mem
tai state.

Boiling Fruit Essential
To the Best Preserves

Every fruit of the summer wiz soon
be in market, and the forehanded house
wife is already casting about her for
the best methods OF preserving the
bounty against the winters needs.
Now scientists tell Us that frlnts-or.
indeed, any food-spoils for two reasons
either bacteria, minute one-ceIled an
imals. or yeasts. one-eelled plant or
ganisms, of which the purest air con-
tains few, get into the food and there
develop, causing fermentation.
Boiling is therefore necessary to Kill
any of these organisms that may al
ready have found access to the food.
sugaring is added because it forms an
unfavora1le soil for the development
of any bacteria that might have esean-
ed in the heating process, and air-tigbt
sealing is finally resorted to By way of
excluding the further entrance OF the
destructive organisms
There is a way of preserving fruit in
large quantities without cooking by add
ing sugar of equal weight with the
fruit, and this method nsures against
bacteria, because the sugary strip is
unfavOrable to their growth
This same strip, on the other hand
favorS the growth of yeasts or molds,
which, while less dangerous than the
Dactef1a. does cause unesiFabIe changes
In the quality of the fruit
The only safe method, then, is to boil
each Jarful OF the fruit to be preserved
Tor two houfs, or 10 subject Il to a
higher temperature than that of boil
ing for fifteen minutes. And not only
should the fruit itself be so sterilized,
but the utensils used in the process
should be filed with water and boiled
for fifteen minutes before being used.
fne fruit should then be placed In the
stew kettles at the moment the preIirf-
mary boiling of the latter ceases AMI
the jars TO be filed should be kert un-
der boiling water until the very fastapt
me boiling fruit Is 20 be transferred 20
them. The sterilizing of both food ans
utensils. finally, Is more satisfactory
When they are brought very gradually
To- the boiling point.
The preserving kettles should be
porcelain-iined, enameled. or of A metal
that VIII not form chemical combina-
tons with fruit juices. Iron and tn
should never be used. as they will givl
a bad color and a metallic taste 90 the
preserves.
The vessels should be broas rathea
than deer as the fruit may thus be Kept
at more even temperature all the wa,-
through. The utensils needed for car

Old Adage Regarding Depth of Beauty
Contains More Truth Than Supposed

Beauty Is not skin deep. It is every
thing else but skin deep. Its causes lie
deep within the personality Of the in
dividual, for beauty is the index of
health sn5 the state of health is pri-
T-aTiiy determined by the mental habits
The face is mass Of muscular hbers,
covered with skin, bat these muscular
hbers are difficult OF Identification, for
instead of being separate like the
muscles OF other parts of the body,
they are closely interviewer in all di-
reotions. sending hbers 10 the bony
frame. 10 each other and to the skin.
ANY separation OF the muscles of the
face is apt TO be misleading.
Into this mass Of muscular tissue are
inserted the ends OF the nerves which
cause movement Activity OF these
nerves depends either upon thought or
upon special rapidity with which each
thought or its emotion sends its own
particular message to the muscles, and
this message that We call expression
cannot by any possibility be entirely
controlled.

Mothers Often Blamed
For Children S Faults

Mothers, as a rule, are blamed for
many Of the shortcomings of their
grown-up children, and sometimes just
~ SO. often this s because they are
ignorautOf the trIe need of the mo-
ment. and the consequent Importance
of such need.
The young daughter is taught many
things in regard TO neatness and san
itation In the home, while often the
sons education in this respect Is to-
tally neglected.
For instance, the you daughter is
taught. upon leaving her room in the
morning, to turn the bedclothes over
a chair. leaving the windows wide
open, that the bedding may become
thoroughly aired. The boys bed is
also put 10 airing, but is ne taught to
do this? No as rule. he is not even
aware that it needs airing. This ne
eessitates another trip TO the room by
the hurried mother, who uncOmplain-
inglv hangs up his clothes. which are
usually left streWn over A chair, picks
up his neckties. and tides up the room
in general. patiently imagining this to
be among the necessary trials of bring
ing up boys. And with what result?

should ne board. as Many must, the
careless or overworked landlady may
not reach his room until near noon.
and may then hurriediv make the bed
without airing. the boys health suf-
fering in consequence.
And should he marry, his less patient
wife viii invariably tell him that his
mother has not brought him up per
fectly; tLIt he has been humored and
waited upon until he is spoiled.
When mothers bring their sons up
to be considerable and thoughtful, they
are providing for their own and the
future daughter-in-laws comfort IN
later years

ANOTHER B4D GERH.

z variety Of ills that il seems hardly unfair 10

must be confessed, that the strong government
majority IN the Chamber was created ana mann
tanned and to the extent of that result the proc
ess wis doubtless highly beneicent- We know
of nothing in French public life in recent years
which has been more valuable or productive OF
more good TO the nation than the stability OF the
government majority in the Chamber and the
consequent stability of the ministry Unrortu-
nately. there have been other inevitable results
of that process which have not been so good, bn1
which. on The contrary, have been bad Some
citizens have been inspired with indifference
toward public affairs. considering that Their
Deputies were practically chosen for them by
the government while others have conceived
strong resentment against what they regard as
ministerial dctatiOn. 1t IS within the bouhCS
Of possibility and not far outside those OF proDa-
bility therefore, that Indifference and discon-
tent will manifest themselves at the polls next
wear to an extent which will imperil the govern
ment's majority and which may make the MN
istry dependent upon temporary and incongruous
coalitions with all the danger of relapsing into
the old system of frequent changes OF ministry
and consequent indecision and vacillation in ma
tiOnal policies That is the chief danger Whlch
now appears to confront the cause of good gov

may be sure that all the enemies Of the republic,

THE ABYssIHIAy SUCCESSION.

The natural consequences Of the seriously i'm
paired health of Emperor Menelek visible in
Abyssinia to-day in the preparations which are
being made TO secure the orderly succession to
the throne. 1t is less than a year since the
active and masterful monarch suffered a severe
illness in which both his physical and his mental
powers were seriously and permanently i'm
paired. His physicians have declared that no
may live ten years more, but they give him little
hope Of ever reganing his former vigor, and his
family and friends have feared that in case Of
an uprising of some of the turbulent tribes,
under the lead of some ambitious aspirant to
the throne. Menelek might not be able effective
ly 10 deal with it.
The situation has been made much more dis
queting by the fact that NIeneek has no son 10
succeed him. while there are several powerful
Rases who are little less than kings tributary
TO the Negus NegUsti. who aspire to the throne
upon Menelels death, precisely as Menelek him
self. then Ras of Shoa, succeeded John II, who
had been Ras Of Tigre and as John II succeeded
Theodore. who had been Ras of Amhara. In the
absence Of an heir apparent, however, there is
IN heir presumptive in the person of Prince
Lidi Yeassu. who is the son Of MeneIek's daugh-
Ter, Waizaro Shoa Boegga, and her husband.
RaS Michael. the latter one Of the most powerful
of the tributary kings. This prince is variously
