I “How young she looks!” “How does the manage to conceal the marks of age?” iVho has uot heard these phrases flitting xbout the auditorium of a theatre when some long popular actress is on the boards? The questioners are not always 'adies, but as a rule the ladies are most vitally interested in the problem suggest- 3d. How can one prevent age from showing itself in the face, and wliat is the secret of the actress’ long enduring youth? As to the latter, it is liardly worth while to pay much attention to it, I think, for the art of making up for the stage is quite a different matter from that of making up for the drawing room. In the one case the artist can make use of broad, suggestive touches; in the other everything must bear an elaborate finish. So there are two styles of paint ing in vogue in facial development as well as in pictorial art, But I know something much better than painting for preserving a youthful appearance to the face. It is very sim ple, and was suggested by the massage treatment for removing superfluous flesh. In this case the object is in a measure to restore wasted flesh, or rather to prevent waste. Wrinkles, the surest mark of ad vancing age, and the hardest to eradicate or conceal, are due to the gradual wear ing away of flesh underneath the cuticle. Why does it wear awav? Because the facial muscles have either too little or the wrong kind of exercise. It will be ob served that wrinkles usually take a down ward course. This is due to the wrong kind of exercise. What exercise? Why, the washing and wiping of the face, to be sure. Not that I am going to advo cate the discontinuance of this salutary and wholesome exercise; I simply sug gest a change in the method. Instead of rubbing the face down in washing and wiping always rub upwards. This will have the effect of counteracting the in fluence of the flesh to de[>ort from under the cuticle and will keep the face free from wrinkles. It is rather an awkward habit to acquire at first, but perseverance will make it second nature, and the re sult is worth many pains. This exercise is designod particularly for the benefit of the eyes and the upper portion of the cheeks. For the lower and middle portion, where hollowness is often noted rather than wrinkles, but sometimes both, there is another plan. The facial muscles are subjected to very slight activity in the ordinary exertions of eating and talking. To till tho cheeks out plump and round it is necessary to develop the muscles there. These muscles are very slight at the best, and any special effort well directed will increase them in capacity and size. An excellent exercise for this purpose is this: Take a piece of soft leather, kid or chamois skin will do, and put the end of it lietween the teeth; then chew gently upon it for several minutes, taking care not to raise the teeth from the leather. If the teeth are raised it will bring into play only the ordinary muscles of masti cation, whereas the purpose is to develop those that are seldom used. One who tries this method will find the cheek going through a queer action that is any thing but graceful and pretty; neverthe less, it is immensely effective, and will restore to its youthful plumpness even the most hollow cheeks of the decrepid sex agenarian. Those in middle life or those who are just beginning to feel the ap proach of age will find Jhis plan especially favorable. Its beauty does not recom mend it, but its simplicity does. It occurs to me to inquire why talking should not be effective in keeping the facial muscles fully developed. There are women who talk incessantly, and it might seem that uninterrupted activity of the mouth in conversation would be enough to effect all the enlarging of muscles desirable to attain a youthful appearance. So it would, if talking exercised the right muscles. It will be oliserved that the most talkative womeh have the most hollow cheeks, so there is no encouragement in this for cultivating conversational powers. The reason why excessive talking brings with it a pre mature decay of facial beauty is tliat talking exercises almost exclusively the orbicularis oris, the muscle that serves as a mouth opener. The tongue and throat muscles are brought into play, of course, but they are not to be considered in dis cussing wliat may have an effect upon the external face. When the orbicularis oris, therefore, is exercised to the ex clusion of the more distant portions of the cheeks, it will be developed abnor mally in strength; and when advanc ing age brings about the decay of the tender cheeks, the sinewy orbicularis oris re mains in its full vigor and size, and the cheeks appear correspondingly so much the more hollow and wasted. There is no danger to any one who indulges moderately in conversation, but if any one has any fears on the matter they may be set at rest by a timely practice with the strip of leather. And don't forget to rub up when you wash and wipe. —Globe-Democrat.

This story is told of the wife of an emi nent benefactor of the town, whose resi dence was on the “Hill. ’’ One day while the lady was in the midst of preparations for the midday meal (this was in the olden time when people got up in the morning and had dinner at the proper time) a caller was announced. Hastily leaving the kitchen where she was over seeing operations she entered the next room where tho visitor was. The door between tho two was open, and pretty soon tho lady broke off the conversation and called to the “help” in the kitchen: “Nancy, does tho kettle boil?” “No, m’am.” Then the conversation was renewed, to I be broken again in a few minutes by the inquiry; “Nancy, does the kettle boil?” “No, m’am.” “Then take the pine stick in the comer I and put it on tho fire.” This was pre sumably done, for shortly after, when “m’am” repeated her question: “Nancy, does the kettle boil?” “Yes, m’am,” was the answer. “Then take off the pine stick and put it in the comer. * ’ Tliis shows a spirit of saving liardly to bo surpassed.—Boston Record. Flunting the Wild Boar. In Germany the boar hunt occurs an- nually. Trained hounds are held in leash until the lair of the boars is sniffed and then they are let go. Oil rush the brist ling beasts. They run fast, and the faster they skip along the wJder and “madder” they get. Sometimes they are shot, but the correct style of killing is to use a long spear or a short sword like knife. The hunter spies his boarship speeding along in an almost straight lino blinded with rage and ferocity. Bend ing sideways to the earth the sportsman thrusts his spear dull end downward in the soil and tho sharp jxrint slanting up ward and turned directly to tho boar's path. Straight on the wild boar rushes and with all the impetus of his long flight plunges upon the spear po;nt, and there impaled, dies a bloody death.

He was seen by a physician three or four hours after the accident. The ends of the fingers had been found m the snow, and were brought to hint. He attached them, and two of the tluue united.—Science.
