“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.

An Andover Woman.
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. * ’

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.

Surprises In Surgery.

of late in the medical journals of the
complete reunion of portions of fingers

by the ax. In one case a man, in cutting

Be had gone from the place some twenty
feet, when he returned, picked up tho
end, wiped it and replaced it, binding it
in its original place as nearly as possible.
The wound united, and the finger is now
as good as ever, save that its sensibility is
somewhat diminished. In another case
a boy chopped off the ends of three
fingers. He was seen by a physician
three or four hours after the accident.
The ends of the fingers had been found
