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.

| The horseless carriage—the kind op-
I erated by electric power—is no longer
| considered a freak. 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,

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

. driven independently. The coupe is
' furnished with two two-horse power

j tice, say the manufacturers, a man who
has never seen one before cm operate
one. They are fitted with pneumatic

! be much more than the price of a horse

charging of the batteries will be inex-

INTELLIGENCE IN HEN 9.
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.

STARCHY FOODS.
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.

Archery in Crete.
The Cretans are said to have beeD
the first people to practico archery,
they having learned the art from
Apollo. 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. Kenyon College, Ohio, in
