Eacial Massage For Wrinkles.

A plentiful use of cold cream, the
kind that feeds the skin, and mas
sage are the best cure for wrinkles.
Each wrinkle has it's own peculiar
motion. up from the chin, to cure the
sagging around the mouth, gently
down on the forehead for the horizon
tai wrinkles, across for the vertical
wrinkles, a rotary motion for the
crow 's-feet, etc. The motions are all
circular. up and out-never down.
The best massage Is after the Swedish
system. 1t should not be too vigor-
Gus. and, with a fine skin, very gen.
tie.
When the face is to be massaged
il is first washed with warm water
and then anointed very thickly with
cold cream. After the massage hot
applications may be made. Then the
face should be thoroughly washed
with soap and hot water, and rinsed,
and finally cold applications made to
close the pores and stimulate a
healthy circulation. IL the face feels
stiff little cream Is rubbed in

Cat Saved Her Life.

Nine. Marie Rayot's cat saved her
mistress life one morning recent
ly. Nine. Rayot, who lives In Paris,
heard the cat new loudly and
jumped out of bed, thinking that it
was after her birds, which were in
the next room. AS Nine. Rayot
rushed into this room a burglar
knocked her candle from her hand
and caught her by the throat and at
tempted to strangle her. He let her
go, however, with a cry Of pain, and
when Nine. Rayot's shrieks brought
in the neighbors it was found that the
cat had caught the burglar by the
throat and had scratched out one of
his eyes. An accomplice Of the bur
glar was found hiding under a bed.

quite safe. The vaporizing is auto
matte and instantaneous, and takes
place in the burner, which is the es-
sential feature Of the invention and
which is made entirely of glass, all
in one piece. At the top is a bulb,
about one inch in diameter; below
tube, the lower end of which
should always be submerged in the
hole. A small round wick passes up
through this tube and through the
centre of the bulb to a small circular
opening in the top of the bulb. When
the wick takes fire the flame COM
pletely seals the opening through
which the wick passes. The heat i'm
mediately vaporizes the oil in the
wick inside the bulb, and the vapor
or gas thus formed is consumed at
the top Of the wick, burning with
clear, steady flame. On account of
the convenient shape of the burner
the device can be made entirely self
contained, in the shape and size of
a candle.

JAPANESE LABOR POORLY PAID.
Low Wages and Workman Not n Sue
cess as Machine Operators.

Writing from Vladivostok Of visit
to Japan, Special Agent Roland r.
Dennis says of the efficiency of labor
of that country:
A visitAo Japan tends to disprove
the theory that cheap labor insures
cheap production OF output. The
Japanese in many directions, especial
ly in cabinetmaking, is an expert and
finished workman. Although he uses
an infinitesimal plane and planes to-
ward himself, and his handsaw looks
like an overgrown butcher knife with
saw teeth cut in its edge, he produces
fine work. But give him a machine
nearly automatic to tend and he is
not a success. Wire nails are used
exclusively in Japan. and hence there
is an immense demand for them.
among the very many stock COM
panies formed during the Japanese
Russian War, when money was plen-
tiful, was a wire nail mill. The very
latest up-to-date automatic machinery
was brought out from the United
States, and everything that money
and skill could command was secured
to make the mill a great success. AS
a final step a superintendent was
brought from a large mill in Cleve-
land and put in charge. In spite OF
all this expenditure OF talent, money
and time, that man is not able to
make nails at price that at all in
terferes with importing and selling at
satisfactory profit. When asked
why he cannot make nails as cheaply
as he did in Cleveland the superin-
| tendent replies: 1T is simply a ques-
tion Of labor. In Cleveland one man
tended and kept running four or five
| machines; here II takes four or five
men to tend one machine, and they
don't keep it running as it should at

Niece of Gerald Griffin.

There died the other day in the
Visitation Convent, of Washington,

Siberian Brides First Duty.

A Siberian brides domestic capa-
bilities are put to a somewhat severe
test Immediately after her marriage,
as her first duty is to invite guests
to her husbands house to partake OF
a dinner specially prepared by her
alone.
This dinner is regarded as the cru
cial test OF her home education, and
dire disgrace is the consequence II
she is tried and found wanting on
such an important occasion. II, how
ever, the meal is success, the young
bride is assured that her social sue
cess is a foregone conclusion, and also
that her glory will be reflected on
her family from whom she received
such excellent instruction, says Home

Entertaining a Simple Art.

entertaining Slmple ATt.
In our social life we are too often
governed by the two tyrants. They
say" and What will people think"
Resolve to dress and entertain accord
peoples opinions. 1t is foolish to at
tempt TO follow style OF entertain
ing inaugurated by richer people.
Your friends will accept and enjoy
simple little entertainments within
keeping OF your purse. quite as much
as more elaborate affairs.
There is modest little home Of
clever literary woman who is brave
enough to dare to invite the most
fashionable elite to her Sunday even-
ing tea table. She cares not that
twelve-course dinners and much va
riety adorn her friends feasts. Her
own table never boasts more than
plate OF thinly sliced meat, good
brown bread and nut sandwiches, hot
chocolate and tea. These simple
viands will be made attractive by ap-
pointments OF fine and snowy table

a centrepiece Of flowers giving a fes-
tive air to the table.
To entertain simply, yet well, Is an
art. 1t is vastly better to frequently
invite a few friends to drop in and
share our hospitality than to think OF
company as a dreaded bore, whose
debts are to be appeased once or
twice year by giving a huge recep-
ton or tea. These large affairs are
seldom anything but enjoyable
"crushes," when one enters a house
and departs feeling no better ac-
quainted or no nearer the family life
than before.
1t is the eternal fear of criticism
that makes women hesitate to use or
iginal ideas in entertaining their
friends. Because Mrs. So and So had
three kinds of vegetables and two
kinds of cakes is no reason why you
should follow her example. In fact,
to serve too delicate a meal nowadays
is not considered good form. To
overload a guest with so many
courses that he feels burdened Is
much worse than serving too little.
It is a dreadful insult to the mental
caliber of our friends that we should
think they come to our table to gor-
mandize rather than to enjoy the
