Mrs. I.augtry was once asked by a New York "society woman" how she pre served her beauty. "What do you do uot to have a wrinkle?" "I don't worry, my dear," was her only answer. The idea and suggestion were not new. The "society woman,"' who is well known in New York, and at present in the^ ultra-fashionable set, took the hint. She has tried for several years not to worry, with good effect, and people who do not know her age, take her for ten years younger. This is how she tried "uot to worry:" As soon as anything would happen to worry her she began bv repeating to herself the two words, "don'"t worry," "don't worry," over and over again, until it got to be a habit with her. Now, she says, she don't have to say, "don't worry." She simply does not al low herself to become excited and nerv ous. A matter of self-control She has money, health and beauty. But still she has, as every other woman, other things to worry her. It would not be fair to give her name!—New York Evening Tel egram.

NURSING THE TREES. llow Swiii Fornti At• Preserved by Scientific Method*. Au expert on forestry, after showing the necessity for more stringent legisla tion to cheek the ruthless destruction ot American forests, the dire effects of which extend to future generations, men* tions by way of illustration what may be done by properly paying attention to the preservation of the young growth while cutting the mature crop, a forest in Switzerland where, scieutitic methods have been observed in the cutting of the wood. This forest has yielded a yearly crop, without replanting, ever since be fore the discovery of America, and yet today it shows a line growth of market able lumber. Of all the foes of the for est, next to the reckless lumberman, fire is the most destructive. One of the lat est ideas for the prevention of fires from locomotive sparks is to have two cleared spaces along the line of the railroad, sep arated by a double row of trees intended to catch the sparks. Such strips, kept free from all inflammable material, would be useful in checking small fires, and of immense value as lines of defense in fighting large ones.

Preparing Walls fbr Paper in if. The following rules are for the scrap ing and treatment of walls of various kinds preparatory to papering: If walls have been previously papered it is advisable to scrape off old paper, not only from a sanitary standpoint nut also to insure a perfect job. Paper hangers cannot be too vigorous in ad vising customers to have walls and ceil scraped previous to repapering. To remove ordinary wallpaper soak the by applying hot water with an old brush, and then scraping with hand or pole scraper. Heavy papers, such as leathers and felts, should be treated to a coat of hot paste, thinned down to the consistency of cream. After a few minutes' soaking remove by scraping. Whitewashed walls should be scraped, after thoroughly wetting the walls with thin paste or water, then size with strong sizing. If whitewash is not thick or scaly, a strong solution of vinegar will answer all purposes. For damp walls we advise either one, two or three coats of shellac over the damp surface, or tinfoil, which Is put up in sheets, can be tacked and pasted over the damp spots. For varnished paper, mix about two pounds of common brown sugar or mo lasses to one-half bucket of water, then apply like sizing. This mixture is also good for oil-painted wails. Scraping, however, is preferred to either. For oil-painted walls, dissolve two pounds of pearl ash in a bucket of water, and apply like sizing. For kalsomined walls, wash walls and ceilings with a large sponge, then apply ordinary sizing. New walls should have a coat of weak sizing.—Philadelphia Rec ord. Horrible to Think Of!

It All Depends. A young couple were entertaining their friends, and among the guests was one whose continued rudeness made him ex tremely objectionable to the rest of the company.

Talbot came blundering into my room with the news, just ns I was sitting down to dinner. The old boy was nearly out of his mind with excitement, and wouldn't stop for a drink, or, what wrts worse, let me have one, but dragged me downstairs and bundled me into a cab. The rest of the night was spent in driv ing about London to hunt up police in spectors, stationniasters and news agen cies. Finally, at 8 o'clock in the morn ing, we lauded at his flat iu Earl's court, thoroughly dead beat. And the papers bristled with it. I srppos«? it came as a godsend in the slack time, for most of them gave us a couple of columns. "Mysterious disappearance of a titled lady. Foul play fenred. Portrait of Lady Dolly Davidsou. Mr. DavidSou interviewed. The police completely baf nled and so on. The journalists had done it thoroughly. W gave a highly-uecorated account of inlbot private career, and an analysis his character and disposition. Tliey did the same for his vanished wife, with a precise account of when and where she disappeared. Then they speculated as to the reason. Was it murder, rob bery. suicide or an elopement? s.®ellls that Talbot arranged to meet his wife at Waterloo at 4 o'clock the pre vious (tfternoou, on her return from a country visit. When the train catne in, the compartment in which she had trav eled contained a magazine with her ini tials mscribbled on it, a novel, "Society's erdict, a small handbag, and an um brella—but not Lady Dolly. Talbot had inquired of the guard. That intelligent functionary remembered the young lady lJJte well, but had not seen her get out. "lnen where the dickens is she?" roared Talbot. The guard looked under the seat, and referred him to the station-master. After wiring in every direction without getting- any tidings except that she had certainly entered the train, Talbot con cluded that she was the victim of foul play. There was no doubt that she had traveled alone, and that she had her little jewel case with her. The jewel case was now missing, while all the articles which were practically valueless were undis turbed. The novel was lying open as if she had been reading it, and had just laid it down, and the end of a cigarette, which Talbot recognized as one of her favorite brand, lay on the floor of the carriage. There was no sign of a strug gle. So Talbot drove down to mv place, dragged me away from dinner, and then went to the police. It. was a delicate case, because, al though simple-minded, old Talbot was quite certain it meant robbery, or per haps something worse, and although the police supported him, it seemed quite on the cards that Lady Dolljv had disap peared by^ her own free will. To search railway linos for a corpse is waste of time, if the supposed victim has gone yachting. The fact is. Talbot was the last man on earth to understand Lady Dolly. He was a brainy creature, solidly and re spectably ambitious, who studied law as a science, and nearly killed himself with anxiety over the few briefs he received. Lady Dolly was pretty, frivolous and feather-brained. When Talbot met hei she was a penniless widow. Society was watching her closely. She was making a desperate flutter to cling to her position, and society was cynically amused. Would she make a wealthy match—which was her only chance—or would she go under? She did neither.. ShemarrieiL steadv going, hard-working Talbot. It's no KIIUU iu TRY iv e-xpiuin wny tliey married. Talbot had fallen ridiculously in love, like brainy men always do, and she well, it's my opinion that the poor little creature accepted him as a refuge against herself. Somewhere in her giddy naturt there was a dash of common sense and principle: she had snatched at respecta ble poverty as a safeguard against some thing worse. But was it possible she had tired ot it? Had Talbot, meaning well all the time, made life unbearable for the gaudy little butterfly? Had she found him too steady-going, too high in principle, too self-restrained? It's the kind of subject you can't discuss freely with a man, even if he is your best chum. At any rate, it was just like a woman to leave everything except her trinkets, and Talbot might be only making a fool of himself in drawing attention to the matter. "I suppose there wasn't any little liff, or misunderstanding, between you?' I asked, suggestively. "Not a bit of it," he said heartily. "We were never so thoroughly united as we were last Thursday when I saw her off. Iu fact, old man. I don't mind tell ing you that it's only during the last month or two that we have begun to un derstand one another. You haven't any idea what a good little woman Dolly is. On the surface she seems to be a trifle vain—and—frivolous, but at heart she's as true as steel. She wasn't very fond of me when we first married—1 admit it —but I'm certain it's all right now." "I suppose there were no money 11 ou bles?" I said, carelessly. "Nothing more than usual," he said with a faint smile. "As you kuow, my income is devilish small, but I won't let her drop out of the set she has been used to, because I don't think it would be wise, consequently it's a bit of pinch to keep afloat." 1 guessed as much. "But that hasn't anything to do with it," he said, warmly. "That little wom an has been decoyed away and robbed. I only hope no harm has come to her. By George! Cliff, I give you my word, I'd sacrifice my life to save hers." I knew he meant it literally, and I was rather sorry to see him so much in ear nest, for I believed that within the next few days he would have a' nasty shock. "Why, man," he went on, "at the very moment it happened she was reading my own novel." "Your novel?" I said. "What on earth do you mean? You don't mean to say that you have written a novel?" He blushed like a schoolboy. "She made me do it," he said. "She said it was a quicker way of getting on than waiting for briefs. But don't tell any body. I have published it under au as sumed name, for fear it should damage me, and, between ourselves, it's shock ing rot." A copy of "Society's Verdict" was ly ing 011 the table, and I picked it up, feel ing in a vague ^vay that it had some thing to do with Lady Dolly's disappear ance. "What is it all about?" I asked. "Oh, don't ask me!" he said, bashful ly. "It's nothing but sentimental twad dle. The usual business, you know—a woman who hovers on the brink of the unspeakable." "And what becomes..of her?" "She bolts—runs away from it all to escape temptation", aud begins lif» again in an obscure country village." "1 suppose Lady Dolly suggested it more or less?" I asked. "We talked it over together," said Talbot. "I told her that if I wrote a story it would be all about her. ns she is the only woman I know anvthing about." "And Lady Dolly is practically the heroine?" I suggested. "The characteristics are the same, but the incidents are purely fictitious," he replied, sulkily. "But why do you ask these absurd questions about a rot ten novel, when I nearly out of my mind with anxiety?" "Because, you Billy old juggins," I said, "don't you understand that what Is fic tion to you is fact to Lady Dolly. She has dramatized your story in real life and disappeared. Talbot raved at me for suggesting such a thing, but the coincidence was too striking to be disregarded. In fact, two days later—no news of Lady Dolly hav ing been received in the meantime—a smart journalist, who had taken the trou ble to look through the book, pointed out that her disappearance coincided With the action of the "heroine," and hinted that her ladyship had been carried away by a hysterical desire to imiate her. Al though this was precisely iny dwn view, 1 was-sorry to see it made public, 011 Tal bot's account.,: But that was not the worst. An indi vidual signing himself "A Sturdy Brit- ,Ka t0 8fn(1 loug letter to the Daily Paragraph," headed, "la Novel Reading Dangerous in which he kindly assumed the truth of the "hys 8S*S «»»to prove that Society A erdict belonged to the moot mischievous class of literature, He con cluded by showing that novel reading is only a mild form of suicide, tt Was the silly season, and the editorial -mitld ap peared to have run anntck, for tne fol lowing morning a "leader" was published in which one of the Paragraph's spirited young men quoted seventeen different in stances of people buying been led by sen sational romances into acts of folly, aud warned parents against the so-calieu "so ciety fiction." Next morning a letter signed "Fair Play" appeared, in which the writer laid himself out to prove that "A Sturdy Briton" was an unspeakable idiot. From that moment the full be came fast and furious* and the "'horrors of fiction" became the topic of the day, and were .discussed wherever two Or three lottel.v people were gathered to gether. Talbot was furious, lie was unpardoltably rude to interviewers, and was not eveil decently grateful when they described him us a 'iiatldsome and rising young barrister," I was quite aUltoyed with him. "Will nothing satisfy you?"" 1 asked. "Here are a number of young fellows telling lies about you gratuitously," your photo graph is in the Daily Graphic, and yet you growl. Pull yourself together, man, aud tackle your briefs. Malty a man with less luck than this has reached the woolsack and slept there for years." But three weeks elapsed without any news of his wife, while all classes of so ciety—including "A British Schoolboy," "A Book*-reading Chimneysweep," "A Country Vicar," and "A Bread-and-But ter Miss"—contributed astonishing letters to the daily press oil "runaway wives" and "modern novels," with sidelights oil such matters as "Patent Cures for Head ache" and "Should a Wife Peel the Po tatoes? It really seemed us if the Unit ed Kingdom had gOile mad. One night we turned into a music hall and heard a prominent comedian call upon the audi ence to rejoice with him because his wife had run away, under the intoxicating in fluence of a novel, called "Dotty Dolly or, Who Stole the Baby's Cough?" It was humor of a delicute class, and in volved frequeht allusions to his niotller in-law, a policeman and a kipper. I led Talbot out, put him into a cdb and took him home. He was in a state of mental collapse. Suddenly the ease took a new turn. Mysterious messages began to appear in the "agony" coluuinjjf the Standard, the tirst of which ran: "T.. can vou ever forgive me?—Dolly."1 Talbot, of course, insisted on replying, and advertised: "Know of nothing to forgive. Come back, dearest.—T." Two days later, one ran: "I am- broken-hearted aud long to see you. Your own Dolly." And Tal bot advertised an affectionate and equal ly inane reply. The police were very suspicous of these advertisements, aud believed them to be a hoax, all the more so, seeing that we could not trace the advertiser. The advertisement was always sent to the of fice of the paper by post, and the adver tiser changed her address after each in sertion. Then this message appeared: "I have been very wicked and extravagant. Am ashamed to tell my debts. Dolly." Here was the money question chopping up again. I asked Talbot what it meant. "No'Jiing." he said, with a good humored smile. "It appears she owes a milliner bill. It certainly is rather a warm one, but nothing to worry about. If that's the cause of the trouble, I'll soon set her dear little mind at rest." He wrote out an advertisement for the Standard aud looked happier than lie had done for weeks, though I felt con fident that, there was more in it than a milliner's bill. In the meantime an enterprising jour nalist had been watching the agony eol unui, and putting two and two together his mind, guessed it was the celebrated "Lady Dolly" case, and published a long and speculative account of it, reproduc ing all the advertisements, and giving his readers to understand that all the trouble had arisen about a milliner's bill. One morning I went round to Talbot's place to breakfast, and was startled to hear voices in the dining room. I pushed the door open and walked in. There was Talbot, seated at breakfast, with a look of radiant bashfulness on his face, and opposite him—his wife, Ladv Dollv. She received me as calmly aud naturally as if nothing had happened, and asked me to join them, which I did iii silent won der. "When am you -jirrivtrr- 1 inaliagedTo eay at last with tolerable composure. 'Quite late last night," she said, with a charming smile, "and do vou know I was dead tired. It was such a nastv long journey." I tried to make an intelligent remark but failed. "Who is going to tell him?" asked Tal bot. "You tell him." said Lady Dollv 'but of course, it's in strict confidence. You wont tell anybody, will you?" I pledged my word and begged her to proceed, because I kuew she intended to tell the story herself. "You see, dear old Talbot has written a book, she began, with a proud glance at the brainy man, who looked half in clined to crawl under the table, "and it struck me that if I disappeared, just like the girl does in the book, and left it lying open, so that everybody should know why I disappeared, it would be a lovely advertisement for it. Nobody would know I was the wife of the autuor, and I didn't dare to tell Talbot for fear he should object. The dear old goose hasn't any head for business, you know. Of course, I was awfully cut up when I thought how worried he would be about it, butj after all, a little worry doesn't matter much, does it? Fancy, they have sold fifty thousand copies already. Isn't it splendid?" "Fifty thousand copies?" I echoed, weakly, looking at her pretty face in amazement. "Yes, and wasn't it a good idea writing that letter signed 'A Sturdy Briton,' and contradicting it next day by one signed 'Fair Piny.' Of course advertising in the agony column kept the interest up and comforted Talbot, too." "It's a queer thing, Cliff," said Talbot, "but I've had more briefs in the last three weeks than I've ever had in my life. I do believe this mad escapade of Dolly's has been the making of me." And so it had, for they are living in a smart, little house uear Park lane, and Talbot has taken silk, and Lady Dolly gives the neatest dinner parties in Lon don. And society's verdict is that she is "quite the nicest little woman iu the world, you know."—Truth. Sleeplessness. There is 110 greater foe to beauty than lack or loss of sleep. To fall asleep when your head touches the pillow and to know nothing till the next morning—that is what a night's rest ought to be, but some unfortunates, as soon as the lights are out, are wider awake than ever and be gin to toss and tumble until, unable to bear it longer, they get up and read or write. Insomnia is really a disease, and many are the causes. Some people who can not sleep when their beds lie from east to west will find comfort in sleeping with their heads to the north. Scientists claim in this position the magnetic currents of the earth pass through the body. Ab sence of fresh air is a bar to peaceful slumber, and light in the room also in duces wakefulness. The bedclothes and the pillows should have attention. Never sleep 011 a feather bed—a hair mattress is the best thing. A spring mattress should be under it. Very heavy bedclothes, are bad, and pillows should be stuffed so they do not get flat. The head should be well out from under the clothes. Sleeplessness is often caused by want of food. Many people take their last meal too long before bedtime, and it is the faintness caused by hunger that pre vents sleep. A half-glass of hot milk should -be taken at bedtime, and a crack er. Crackers, bread and butter or milk should be within reach, and if you can not sleep they should be taken at once. Often a drink of water will bring the wished-for sleep, and hot water is much more likely to bring about this result than cold. An over-excited state of the brain is also the cause of,much sleeplessness: not only is the brain being used to its ut most strain all day, but books are read and study gone in for lnte at night, and then, when every brain-nerve is excited to its uttermost extent, you go to bed and are surnrisgd that sleep refuses to fol low. The only cure for this is not to read anything heavier than a novel on hour before you go to bed, and to take a warm bath and a glass of warm milk. This will generally send yon to sleep very Quickly. Lightning's Cui ioas Wounds. Curious wounds were made by light ning strokes 011 residents of Berlin. None of the wounded has extensive burns the wounds look as if caused by a charge of grain shot.

Having observed several cheap ice houses, the following plan seems the most satisfactory: Take poles or rails li! or more feet in length, and build a pen some 8 or more feet high, or even less. Then take rails 2 feet shorter and build pen inside of other. Fill space between pens with straw, chaff or other non-con ductor. Place boards 011 ground for ice to rest on. Build 011 as dry a spot as you can, but avoid shady places. Use pine boards for roof. Since ventilation is need ed the gable ends may be left open, (.'heap lumber may be used instead of rails, and frequently an old outbuilding can be used for ice. Always use good ice for tilling. Cut in square pieces, lay pieces lint, and till crevices with pulver ized ice. Leave a space of at least inches between ice and wall, to be tilled with sawdust. Use plenty of sawdust 011 top of icc. The dimensions given can be made smaller. A cube of ice N.\-8x8 feet ccnta ins approximately fifteen tons rx»5x!S feet about one-half as much.—S It. Tatnian iu St. Louis (Jlobe-Dciuocrat. Feeding Baby Pigs. It frequently happens that the sow is not able to supply sufficient nourishment for her young, and when such is the case the deficiency must be supplied in same way. good plan is to build a small pen inside the one containing the sow. one which she cannot reach, and have a small trough in it. As soon as the young pigs are large enough to drink, pour skim milk in this trough for them, ami as soon as they will drink it make a mix ture of shorts and milk, being sure that it is very thin so that the young pigs can readily drink it. If this plan is too tioubhsome a trough may be built in the pen low enough so the young pigs can reach it and permit them to cat out of it with the mother. If care is taken to give her only such food as tends to increase lit How of milk, not much bran or oat hulls, the same food will be eaten readi ly by the young pigs, and they will thrive on it. Beside the mother will be better natured for not being annoyed by the small pigs for milk she cannot fur nish. Growing r.n 1 Market Via?. Economy in feeding may not be proiit ably practiced with growing pigs nor with hogs that are being fattened for market. The growing pig makes the market pig, und it is always cheaper to keep the growing pig growing by a liber al feeding, than it is to economize 011 food, and when the animal is within three weeks or a month of -marketing to at tempt to cram it for market. If economy ill feeding must be practiced, let it he with pigs that have their growth and are not to be marketed. When the fat tening period begins, do everything possi ble to stimulate the appetite. Make-corn the chief fattening food, of course, but feed green stuff, clover, if obtainable, root, crops and various other foods that add variety to the ration. These changes will do the hog good and increases his appetite for corn. Thus. 110 risk is run of the animal getting off his feed, which frequently happens when high feeding of co-rn only rs practiced. Increase the ra tions slowly, but surely, and continue un til the hog is in the best possible condi tion for marke t. Don't try to aelel weight when the animal is close to the we-ight demanded by your market. fer it will lie food wasted. Faint for Tree Wounds. Kve-ry little while- a ree-ipe' for making a shellac wash for this purpose appears, and eno would think, if lie did not know (the rwise-. that this was the preparation most commonly used. I doubt if one person in a liunelred who has occasion to use sue-li a wash ever uses sheilac. It is troublesome tei apply and expensive to make. The shellac must be dissolved with alceihol, which e-eists too much for any such purpose, aud in applying it with a brush the1 alcohol evaporate-s so ejuickly that the brush soon becomes like a stick. Then we senuctimes see recommended and often see in use gas tar. which has no plae-e anil lie-ver hid for any such purpose. Many are1 the trees that have bee-n kille-d by it. It is too penetrating and contains injurious ingredients. Whenever the application of tar reaches clear around the body of a thin-barked tree it may lie expecte'd to kill the tm- eiutright. Grafting wax is geioel when it is plas tic enough so as not to peel up in e-okl weather, but this is slow application. Best of all for ordinary purposes for a e-evering for wounds and bare place's is common linsee-d oil paint. It is easiest of all in application, it lasls for years 011 the dead wood, it deies not kill the tender bark en- check its growing.—X. S. I'latt in Rural World. Winter Care of Horses. During the long winter when work horses are almost, if entire'ly, idle* their treatment should be ntirely to keep the-in in good condition and as cennforta hlo as possible. 1 do not believe in keep ing horses tieei up by the1 he-ads wlie-n they aiv idle'. Mest vices arc contrae-ted while they are standing in the barn. The tie vil gets -in his work with people when they have nothing to do and sei it is with horses, eribbing. kicking, pawing, strik ing and innumerable vices are- learne'd iu those lenig. idle hours. Besides, many diseases are contracted, especially when standing 011 hard floor. It is better to alh-w the animals the run ed" a good-sized let where tliey^ may exeTcise eluring the day aud shut them up in the barn at night. Our plan with we.rkheuse's whe'n iu ill use is to pull the- halters off and let them five to do as they please. I have never had a sick horse em the farm dining thi last twenty ye'ars that ran out when not in use in winter, but I have hael sick horses when they were kept up and have' seen good horses become mean and vicious when ke'pr standing in the stable. There is 110 doubt but that horseas will stand the win ter here in Iowa better than any other stock, and while we believe in letting them run at large they should always have' plenty e)f shed room should the\v de sire shelter. During the extreme ceilei of last winter I had about twenty head of horses which ran out. .Some were woikhorses and some" colts and mares. The workhorses seemed to rcjoie-e in their freedom and to cnje.v the situation even in tile1 colde'st weather. Plemty of good hay and what picking there was em the meadows was their ration until toward spring when they were caught and kept in the barn lot eluring the day and tieel up at night. A few sheaves of oats or a bundle of corn fodele-r with the com en it with plenty of hay and straw forms a jrcod ration for idle horses. It .is a got :1 plan to teed this en the ground Avhen it is fro"en and to let the horses pick it over. This gives them something to do. As worktime comes em more at tention must be* given them. Their fe-eel ing must be more' regular ami their sta bling anel bedding attended to. Oats ami ee in equal parts is the ve-ry best muscle and fat-forming feed. Horses'should lie x' veised evcrv day and worked some in order to toughen them up for spring work. Horses that have been properly eared for in the hitter end of winter will push right iulo the collar anel stain] up to th: work when spring conns with little cr lie discomfort. Do not keep the horse standing and fretting in the barn: let him loose te have his play. Winter is his holiday, his time recuperate his health and to heal up any old sores if he be unfortunate to have such. Let him rustle a little, it is good for his feet, teeth anel general health. No curbs or splints, ringbone cr bad feet are to be found cn Kocky mountain horseflesh. Disease is unknown in range horses, generally speaking. Let him run while he may.— John Morrison, Jr., in Puairitv Farmer. Brussels Sprouts.

Deafness Cannot be Cured Dy Ioesil applications, as they cannot re^ach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an intlaineef condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for circulars free. No Nigbt in England.
