There are more wrinkles In the face of a baby monkey than there areiu that of an old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles, more of them can be wrought out in* a fair young face by neuralgia than will be found in that of au aged person. Constant pain will shrivel, and neuralgia neglected will plow its furrows deep. It not only wrinkles, but takes the bloom away und gives the skin a dull and yellow look. St. Jacobs Oil is a prompt and sure cure for neuralgia, and it should be used, as whileit soothes and cures, it smooths out the tracks of pain and leaves the skin healthy and fair again; besides it rids the sufferer of much torment and re stores a happier disposition. Good looks come only with good health, and health is found in the absence of pain. JUST try a 10c. box of Cascarets. the llnest liver and bowel retrn'tf>r ever made.

It is now in prac tical use. A few years from now it is possible that a horse will attract as much attention as did the first electric carriage. Even livery stable keepers admit that the horse must go. There is a. motor vehicle which, on Sept. 11, 18iX), made a five-mile run at the Nar ragansett Park races, in Providence, R. 1., in eleven minutes and twenty-seven seconds. The average time per mile was two minutes seventeen seconds, NK W EI.F.C TRI(' M<> : a I:: MA G 1:. and it covered the distance at the rate of a little more than twenty-six miles an hour, establishing a record for motor vehicles. Tho.handsoms and surreys In use are fitted with two one and one-half horse power motors, both attached to the | front axle, one to each wheel, nn<l . driven independently. The coupe is ' furnished with two two-horse power I motors. After fifteen minutes' prac j tice, say the manufacturers, a man who has never seen one before cm operate one. They are fitted with pneumatic ; tires. The cost of the vehicles will not ! be much more than the price of a horse : and an old-style carriage, and the charging of the batteries will be inex- I pensive.

It may not seem to be of much im portance that hens should be intelli gent; but it is. I find the best layers are, as a rale, the most teachable and every way wisest. I have a littie busy body which outlays all the rest of the flock; and she is nearly as intelligent as my Scotch collie. She speaks to a human friend in tones unlike those need to the flock. Another, in a Hook of Plymouth Rocks crossed with Light Brnhmas, proved to be a specially wise creature, and as companionable and affectionate as a cat. By some acci dent her leg was broken. We splintered it; pat the legs through slits cut iu a sack stretched over the top a barrel. There she laid for three weeks, talking with us, and apparently fully compre hending the situation. She, too, is an excellent hen for eggs, for, although the flock is bred for meat instead of eggs, 1 believe that intelligence is of special importance with cows; and I will not buy one that is not first of alt satisfactory in tho face and head. It will pay us, apart from milk and oggs, to have all our domestic creatures companionable and kind in disposi tion.—E. P. Powell, Oneida County, N. Y., in New England Homestead. HELP TOUR NEIGHBOR ALONG. It is to be regretted that in many of our rural districts there exists a feel ing of jealousy which should not bo there, writes F. P. Dunham. Why should any farmer, or anyone else for that matter, bo jealous or entertain anything but a kindly feeliug toward his brother iu the same line of busi ness? Yet it is no unoommon thing to see farmers, living on the same street, whose farms join each other and whose families should be on the best of terms, who do not speak, and if the opportunity presents itself, will do each other ail the damage they possi bly can. Ii these people could only see how foolish this principle looks to an outsider, they certainly would ban ish the feeling of enmity. Life is too short to have enemies; we haven't time to deal with them. What if we do have to acknowledge we are wrong sometimes, or what does it amonnt to if wo do not, on all occasions, convince those who do not think as we do, that they are wrong? Because a man does not think just as we do, or because he demands damages which we think are unjust, or says things which are un true, we havo no reason to believe the best way to deal with him is to "mash his head." Let every farmer push hiß neighbor to the front with all his might; let this principle be universal, ond see how you all will advanco iu a short time. Tho principle of holding your neighbor back, in the vain hope that it will advance yourself, is a mis taken idea. Help each other forward and tho least will become "even as the greatest." REFORM IN MARKETING FBUIT. President Morrill, of the Michigan State Horticultural Society, a most successful producer and Bhipper, handles this subject effectually: First, have something good to sell. Au un desirable article cannot bo disposed of to advantage. Begin, then, by select ing a good orchard site and choosing the best verities. Do not have too many kinds. Five varieties of apples are suflioient for a market oroiiurd. Select Jgood-looking apples of fair quality and capable of being shipped. Never expect to get a place on the markot with a small orchard. Small growers might co-operate, but as a rule they don't nnd it is his opinion they never will. Fruit exchanges in Michigan have not been sucoesstul. In California they of great ad vantage and in southern Illinois tho method has given satisfaction. Jeal ousy is the cause of most of the trouble. A number of iustauoes have come under his observation where growers have signed agreements to deliver their frait at a certain time and pluce. These agreements were utterly disregarded and of oourse tho whole enterprise failed. It would be well to adopt a standard package. Commission men aro often blamed for shortcomings but it is a sad faot that farmers are almost if not quito as bad. About nine-tenths of the fruitjpackages from growers are not honestly put up. Most of the surplus fruit must be sold to commission men. It is best to select one reliable house and ship everything to it. Use a uni form package, a clean package, aud sell in large quantities if possible. A desire to do right ou the part of the grower will nearly always settle tho difficulties in marketing frait. GROUND INFESTED WITH WIREWOBMS. Professor S. A. Forbes, of Urbana, 111., says: There is no remedy for injury by the wireworm to corn plantod upon an infested sod, although this injury may be, undoubtedly, pre vented by u more judicious rotation of crops than that now customary in Illinois. Tho wireworms, as is well known, are normally gruss insects, spending at least two years in the ground be fore they change to the so-called "oliok beetle" or "jumping jack," tho adnlt form of the insect. They arc, consequently, the most injurious the second year after grass, being then full grown and finding comparatively little of their natural food in the earth. As a general preventive against in juries to corn by these- insects and others of somewhat similar habit and economic relationships, I can suggest nothing better than a systematic rota tion planned with referenoe to this matter. The ordinary rotation of this region, namely, grass, corn, small grain, in unbroken snocession, has the great disadvantage, from the entomo logical standpoint, that it is composed wholly of crop plants of the same bo tanioal family, subject in great meas ure to the same insect enemies. It is consequently scarcely any rota tion so far as injurious insects are concerned. It would be a much better practice, both entomological and ngricaltural, if the grass lands were left out of this nsual rotation and allowed to lie in grass as iong as might be profitable, clover being substituted for grass as a successor to the small grain crop. This, or some other crop not belonging to the grass family, should also be raised for two years upon sod when old pastures or mead ows are brokeu up for a change. Lived Three Centuries. At first thought it appears well nigh impossible that one human life could touch three centuries beforo death came. The English papers have re cently beon discussing longevity in its various phases and find at least throe well-authenticated cases of people who lived to three times change the last numerals in the year date. Mrs. Elizabeth Hobbs, a Cambridge shire lndy, did so. She was born in 1099 and died on March 23, 1803, in the 101 th year of her age, which facts are recorded on her gravestone in the southwest corner of the churchyard of Little Wilbraham, about six miles from Cambridge. Thomas Parr, more familiarly known as "Old Parr," was born in 1183 and died in 1035, at the age of 152 years and nine months, having lived seven teen years in the fifteenth, 100 in the sixteenth and thirty-five years in the seventeenth centuries. On a tombstone in Llandaff Centre, N. H., is the following: "Widow Susanna Brownson was born August 31, 1099, and died June 12, 1802, aged 103 years." She thus lived in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nine teenth centuries. Fish Bone Near the Heart. A successful X-ray experiment has been performed on Mrs. George Foun tain, who belongs in New Brunswick, but who has lived in Eustport, Me., several months. She had been a suf ferer from an internal disorder which the local physicians could not diag nose. She was treated by them for various complaints, bat to no avail, and her case hud been practically given up, when she determined to go to the Maine Genoral Hospital at Portland. Mrs. Fountain herself thought she had a cancer, nnd hor friends little expected her return. The hospital surgeons to whom she went last week decided to use the X ray to loaate the seat of trouble, and in this thoy were entirely successful. They found imbedded in one of tho nerves leading to tho heart a small fishbone which had been swallowed a year ago, and upon removing this tho patient's pain ceased and she began to gain her health. Mrs. Fountain has come home, having been absent less than a week. She is seemingly en tirely cured.—New York Advertiser. Menagerie Food Bills. Whon papa takes the children to see tho animals ho has likely thrown ofl business cares for the time and it does not occur to him what the cirous proprietor has to spend to keop those animals alive and interesting. The cost of the establishment of a promin ent animal collector in Germany in cludes some astonishing figures. The food bill is the main item of course, costing probably SSOO a month. An elephant consumes 200 pounds of rice, biscuits, clover, etc., every day. Add to tho food bill the wages of tho enormous stall'of feeders and workmen whose services are in constant demand and you will Ipivo some vague idea of the bills that are presented for pay ment. They amount to thousands of dollars every year. Tho annual food bill at the London Zoo comes to $25,000, and the items last year included 40,000 pounds of whiting, 650 quarts of shrimps, 160 bushels of apples, 15,000 oranges and twenty baskets of cherries. Even wild bonsts have their luxuries.—New York World. The Artful Alligator. Even tho ugliest of creatures must live, although somo people may fail to see any necessity for their doing so. Anything more evil looking than an alligator it would ha hard to imagino, and, like other loathsome beings, it has great powers of misohief. So tho animal that lives near it keep a re spectful distance from it. How, then, does it get food? Well, tho alligator of Nicaragua, in Central America, uses a variety of dodges. For instance, it lies as if dead on the river bonks, and sooner or later is able to snap up some foolish animal; or it floats like a log on the water, with only its eyes above thei surface, and when it sees a nioe family party of water fowl it measures their distance, quietly sinks, then rises just below them, grabs a few legs and drags their owners below. It also de stroys wild pigs by almost burying it self in the mud and taking off its via ! Tims as they come to drink. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. ANCIENT AND MODERN MENDS. We used to have old-fashioned things like hominy and greens - We used to have just common soup made out of pork and beans, But now its bouillon, consomme, and things made from a book, And Pot au Feu auil Julienne, since my daughter's learned to cook. We used to have a piece ot beef—just ordi nary meat— Aad pickled pigs' feet, spare ribs, too, and other things to eat; While now it's illie'; and ragout, and leg of mutton braised, And raaoaroni au gratln, and sheep's head Hollaudtttsod. —Good Housekeeping. WHITENING rVORY KNIFE HANDLES. Ivory knife handles may be whitened and kept so if they are occasionally soaked in alum water. The alum water must boil first aud then 0001.

Many mothers allow their children to live almost entirely upon starchy foods, simply bocause they seem to prefer puddings of every variety to the more substantial dishes. The mother argues, "Well, let him make his dinner on the pudding, if he pre fers it; it certainly is as nutritious as anything else on the table." But it should be remembered that those foods that are pure staroh, as corn starch, or corn flour, so called, and all those that thicken iu like manner, contain but little proportion of nutri ment, being less sustaining nnd also more difficult of digestion thau stale bread. In all cases, food that contains traoes of bran, and also gluten, gum, sugar, cellulose and saline matter, especially the phosphate, in propor tion to the staroh, are to be preferred. If the child has formed a taste for puddings until the appetite craves these alone, and no other form of food soems desirable, the puddings can at least be varied, and need not neces sarily be made only from starohy foods; plain fruit puddings—with stale broad for a foundation—all sorts of custards, and eggs and milk form u good substitute.—Home Queeu.

Mix all to gether. Glean, wash and wipe half a dozen fresh herrings, make small in cisions on both sides, and let stand for an hour in the above marinade, turning occasionally.

Three of England's Kings and two royal Princes were killed by arrows. Harold and bis two brothers came to their death by arrows shot from tho crossbows of tho Norman soldiers. William Rufus was killed by an arrow shot at a deer, and Rich ard I, who revived archery in Eng land, was finally slain by an arrow. Three great battles of English history, Creoy (1346), Poietiers (1356) and Aginoourt (1415) wero won by the archers. Iu those days there were men who could shoot nn arrow from 300 to 500 yards, and Robin Hood is said to have shot from 600 to 800. yards.
