STORY OF THE WRINKLES.

Her face is wrinkled-yet how fair
Is she, with all her snowy hair
Above IL; for each wrinkle seems
A line set there by laughter's CLEANS
A bit of sunshine that was left
When wrinkles wove their warp and
weft
Across her aging cheek and brow
To tell the story they tell now.
'Tis written there i'm prose and rhyme
AS though the necromancer. Time,
Had set his mystic symbols i'm
Her cheeks and brow and trembling
chin
TO show us what a life may be
II we only look and see.
And when we know of what they mean
The wrinkles are but dimly seen.
We see her bending DER her child
Her cheek is wrinkled where she
smiled:
We see her comforting the sad,
Or soothing some unhappy lad.
Or bringing gladness in once more
Where sorrow has stalIed through the
door
All this the wrinkles tell for they
Were made In some cid yesterday
SO many kindly words and deeds,
And ministering To sore needs,
And patient waitings-when To wait
Seemed useless in the face of fate,
But when the patience could impart
New strength to some less trusting
heart
Each word or deed that banned care
Has left its teltale wrinkle there.
God bless her, then! All, God has blest
And given of his grace the best
To her. for now 'tis hers to hold
The fairest of all memory's gold.
Pray that when age gripe you and me
Our faces may all wrinkled be
May they thus chronicle our years
And show the smiles saved from our
tears.

Bruce Wilton has amassed a fortune
which he has lavished on his wife Ve-
ra. Their household is a happy one
but into it creeps note of menace
No one hears 1t at first save Father
Kelly, a priest. the former tutor of
Bruce. Quietly he goes to work with
his sharpened sense to find the person
who is causing the adverse influence
i'm the household. Almost on the verge
of discovering the cause. calamity de-
scends upon the Wilton house Bruce's
fortune is swept away, and in such a
manner that he believes his wife the
cause of his ruin.
Husband and wife are separated. the
home is destroyed and yet the cause
of all this disaster Is unknown. Father
Kelly, with a faith that moves noun
talns, goes on quietly, serenely and
with bbt one purpose i'm
view, the happiness of those he loves.
He solves the mystery and lets the
white light of truth into the minds
that have been darkened by evil More
than this, he finds the one who has
caused all the misery ana restores the
home.

however, when elephants were used for
military purposes, kept exact statis-
tics, and there were also the records
of animals kept in menageries. From
these it would be found that the ex-
treme limit which the elephant was
capable of attaining was about 100
years. The rhinoceros and hippopot-
anus seldom lived more than so or 60
years.
With horses they got into the region
of legend, and it would be remembered
that Victor Hugo, in his account of
the second burial of Napoleon, when
the body was brought to Paris in 1910,
drew special attention to Napoleon's
charger, which was led behind the cof-
fin. AS the last occasion on which Ma
poleon could have used a charger was
at the battle of Waterloo. when it
would have been a mature animal, it's
age could not have been less than 35
years. Victor Hugo found on inquiry
that the horse was provided by an
undertakers establishment which kept
the animal specially for attending
military funerals in the capacity of
officers charger The extreme age
that the horse had ever reached was
somewhere about 40 years.
Twenty years at the outside was the
limit of cattle. sheep and antelopes.
OF birds, eagles and vultures had lived
for more than 100 years; ostriches, the
largest bird did not attain more than
80 or 40 years; cranes and storks
about the same; and ducks, geese and

LONGEVITY OF ANIMALS.
Lecturer Says That Barring Tortoises
Man Lives Longest.


The longevity of animals has been
the subject of the first of three lee
lures by DIR. p. Chalmers Mitchell, Sec
retary Of the Geological society, at the
Royal institution of London.
With the exception Of tortoises, he
pointed out, man has as long an inn

world. There are a few fairly well au-
thenticated cases of men living to over
$50 years. An instance mentioned by
DIR. Mitchell as being founded on good
authority is that Of German surgeon.

our immediate allies, the big apes,
there was no exact evidence, but he
thought they could put down the po-
tential longevity of the chimpanzee or
gorilla at not more than 40 years. The
lower apes probably did not attain half
that age.
Lions and tigers were capable of
reaching 30 and even 40 years. The
domestic cat sometimes attained 20
