made with plain velvet underskirts, or
with panels that give the idea Of such
foundation. The Russian polonaise or
Greek overdress is arranged to show the
velvet skirt, but not prominently. The
sleeves of these dresses are in most
cases made of velvet, but some modistes
put long full puff of the cloth or cash
mere at the top, this puff matching the
overdress in kind. Below this is deep

reaches to the elbow, and is buttoned up

have been seventy-two couples Of
carrier pigeons, all Of which are to be
used for military purposes. Apropos
of this battalion of doves, q German
contemporary publishes long and inter-
esting article on carrier pigeons in mill
tary service.
1t is Nointed out that the service of
the doves, which Is now rapidly becom-
ing Al important item in modern war
fare, sprang, in the late Franco German
war, as small shoot from the mighty
tree of militarism. But, adds the
writer, it would be great mistake to
imagine that tho faculty of the carrier
pigeon to find its way back to its home
from long distance was only discov-
cred during the ''great war" Even tho
ancients knew of it, and knew we'll how
to make use of it. Thus in ancient
Egypt there existed well-organized
service Of carrier pigeons, and pigeon
stations were specially built all over
Syria and Egypt. Thus. the Crusaders
found in the eleventh century, during
the siege of Jerusalem, well-organized
service of carrier pigeons in that city.
In modern times, however, though the
pigeons were often used in private life
to carry messages, it was only the war
of 1901 which attracted the full atten-
ton of military States-France and Ger
many first and foremost among them
to the service which might be rendered
in times of war by the very bird which is
generally considered the symbol of
peace and good will. There were p1en-
ty of breeders who could give fuil in
formation concerning the breeding and
training Of the ordinary carrier pigeon;
but in order to make the birds useful
for purposes of war it was necesAa1y to
obtain special breed, the chief charac-
teristic Of which had not to be its speed,

SUCCESS IN WORK

A Medical Mans Recipe for Winning An
Enyiable Reputation.
Sir Andrew Clark, one of the most sue.
cessful and distinguished of English
physicians, has recently had a portrait
OF himself presented by the staff of the
London Hospital. In his speech reply.
ing to the presentation address Sir
Andrew gave some account of his life
and OF the causes of his professional Sue
cess. His story deserves perusal. Sir
Andrew was born in Scotland, and went
to London thirty-six years ago, young
man in delicate health, and without a
single friend or influential connection.
He had, however, small patrimonv,
and was enabled to pursue the study OF
pathology, and to keep himself quite
free from any intrigues or quarrels. He
devoted himself to work, and before
many years, despite i'll health and CD.
position, he was made physician to
London Hospital. His subsequent sue.
cess was slow but continuous, and was
achieved without any definite expecta-
ton at first that it would eventually be
so brilliant. Sir Andrew gave the fol-
lowing as some of the conditions neces-
sary for success in medicine:
''Firstly," he said, II believe that
every mans success is within himself,
and must come out of himself. No true.
abiding and just success can come to anv
man in any other way. Secondly, a man
must be seriously in earnest. He must
act with singleness of heart and mr.
pose, he must do with all his might and
with all his concentration of thought
the one thing at the one time which he
is called upon to do And if some of nv
young friends should say here: 4 can
not do that can not love work. then
l answer that there is certain remedy,
and it is work. Work in spite of your
self, and make the habit of work, and
when the habit of work is formed it will
be TRANSPORTED into the love of work;
and at last you will not only abhor idle
ness, but you will have no Happiness
out of work which then you are con-
strained from love to do. The man must
be charitable, not ius-self-effac-
ing, not self-seeking; and he must try
at once to think and to do the best for
his rivals and antagonists that can be
done. The man must believe that labor
is life, that successful labor is life and
gladness, and that successful labor, with
high aims and just objects, will bring to
him the fullest, truest and happiest life
that can be lived upon the earth.'-

often reaches a higher figure.
The external organs of hearing are
reproduced in silver so ar tistically as to
almost defy detection. A mold of the
patients remaining car is made, if he
has any, and facsimile in silver is
turned out. If the patient is earless,
two regular lobes are furnished. This
may appear somewhat simple, but
science can do more. 1t can replace a
broken tympanum, and who knows that
the time may not be near when deaf
people can be SO operated upon that, by
the introduction of an artificial auditory
canal, tympanum and internal ear, with
its conch labyrinths, they can be made
to hear. Artificial ears cost 500 apiece.
The nose, nard palate and walls of
the nasal cavity can be produced in
silver and celluloid to accommodate any
degree of designation, whether caused
by disease or by an accident. Some
times the false nose is attached per-
manently to a pair Of spectacles This
method, however, has it's disadvantages,
as the joining of the false cartilage with
the cheek can easily be detected. A
better way is to have the false nose held
in place by springs in the nasal cavity.
1t is just as easy to order a Roman pro-
boscis as ''pug," so the patient gener-
ally selects better-looking nose than
the one he lost. A good artificial nose
costs 800.
To sum it up: If man were to be in
close proximity to boiler when it ex-
ploded and should lose his limbs, eyes,
nose, teeth, ears, portion of his skull,
all of his hair, and even his chin, and
should come out of the shuttle without

know OF such case, and, what is moro,
the man has been fitted out with new
arms and legs-so true to nature that no
popularity in his gait can be distin-
guished without tho most careful
scrutiny. His name is Hans Nelson,
and lie lives in North Prairie, Oak.
Hans uses his celluloid limbs with great
dexterity. There are sockets. placed in
the center of the palms to receive such
implements as knives, forks, needles,
pen-holders, combs, hair-brushes, etc.,
so thas the man is by no means help

In bis tour the reporter found great
variety of artificial legs. They were
mostly made of very light wood, like
willow, and delicately put together and
painted flesh color. These limbs are
provided with ball-and-socket Joints,
giving the greatest freedom of motion,
ane these joints are reinforced by bolts
attached to rubber disks, which act,
piston like, in the hollow chambers of
the various compartments of the limb.
Such leg can be applied to "stump''
not less than nine inches long. Other
legs, made to order, of course, are built
to fit the various forms and lengths of
';ytumps." When leg has been ampu-
tsted below the knee, between the joint
AID the ankle, a very perfect-acting
LIMB can be applied. A perfection

usage, about five years.

able gathering will be feature of the inaugu-
ration of the new enterprise. Music by

features of the entertainment Wednesday.
Being easy OF access from Washington it Is the
intention of the management to fit up about
