DRESSING THE BRIDE.

Heavy White Satin Is the Correct Ma
terial for Wedding Gowns.
Very heavy white satin is used for the
wedding gown, writes Isabel A. NAL
lon, in Ladies' Home Journal The
skirt, which is quite plain in front, has
a flare about the lower part, the result
of there being two full plaits on each
side of the broad gore. In the back
there are two double box-plaits that
fall far down, spread out and extend
through the train, which is very nearly
a yard long The bodice is pointed
one, laced in the back; is high in the
neck, and has over its white satin coll
lar folds of white tulle, caught at one
side with tiny bunch OF orange BIOS
SONS. The sleeves have enormous
puifs Of the satin that reach quite to
the elbows, and below that they fit in
to the arms, and each comes down in a
point over the hand Folds Of tulle
outline this point. Over each shoulder
is an elaborate epaulette of orange
blossoms The hair is arranged quite
high and pinned closely and very. firm
ly to the head; and the veil, which is
fastened on under wreath of orange
blossoms, extends to the edge of the
skirt in front and over the entire
length of the train at the back 1t is
necessary in arranging this veil to re-
member that while it is worn over the
face going up the aisle of the church,

in such way that the bride may look
her best when the veil is off her face

Recent Discoveries.

Although many new and important
discoveries have recently been made in
various sciences, there is probably
none of greater Importance to the peo-
pie than the one recently made by
DIR. SHooP, which is attracting the at
tention OF physicians and all classes of
people throue hont the world.
We refer TO the discovery as to the
cause of chronic diseases of the stomach
liver, kidneys and internal organs
The doctor has traced the cause 10
certain nerves that have control of
these organs. and by prescribing DIR.

HOW TO SLEEP SOUNDLY.
Put Pillows Under the Feet In
stead of Under the Head.
An Important Discovery Ma . ny Ger
man Scientist-WomeD Like the Pro-
fessor's scheme and Say 1t
Works Very Well.

A most important discovery has re-
Gently been made by German profess
sor that viii materially improve the
physical and mental strength Of all
who follow its lesson, if the discovery
is really genuine, as the professor
claims it to be.
Superstition or legend or the custom
Of years has had an influence upon us
while we slept that has been almost as
great as the like influences while we
are awake. IL has been vaguely I'M
derstood that if we sleep with our head
to the north il is much better than
pointing in any other direction can
possibly be, while lying upon our left
from heart disease, and lying upon
our back is quite as certain q sign that
we are intending to snore.
Added to these, the idea has pos
sessed MS that our head must be higher
than our feet, entirely overlooking the
fact that the typical American, ever
healthy, vigorous and good looking, is
Invariably represented in foreign pa
pers as sitting in a very low chair

telpiece some yards, apparently, above
him.
But Prof. Fischer has changed all
that. He has demonstrated by a series
Of painstaking and careful expert
ments that we should sleep with the
feet slightly elevated, or the head
trile lower than the feet, as he puts it,
and this condition he advises bringing
about by placing pillows under the feet
and none under the head.
The advantages claimed by Prof.
Fischer resulting from this manner of
lying are that the intellectual repose
is much more profound than obtained
by the present prevailing method; also
that amelioration of the nervous sys-

Health and beauty.

Health, its understanding and pres
ervation is fad just now. Lectures
on the subject in any of its branches
are eagerly patronized by society lead
ers. Probably this is because beauty
of face and form were never more con-
sidered than at present and our wom-
en- are beginning 10 find that there is
no real beauty without sound health:

rHE BEST POSITION FOR SLEEPING.

fem is greater; that the effect on the
veins is better. aud consequently the
condition of the blood Is improved and
weakness of the lungs is therefore
largely overcome. II in trying the eff
feet of this position for sleeping any
unpleasant sensation is experienced
the feet will be found TO have been too
high. and therefore they should be
lowered little by little by using pill
lows of less thickness until the proper
height is reached, which is readily de-
termined by the improved feeling of
the sleeper.
For women especially this mode OF
sleeping Is recommended by the pro-
fessor, and he claims TO be in receipt of
endless communications from ladies
throughout Germany who have found
untold relief in following his simple
prescription. la an essay recently
read by the professor the advantages
to the hysical nature from this man
ner of sleeping were shown To be I'M
mistakable and easily understood as
such by the lecturers audience in the
p!ain but convincing language en-
ployed
Briefly, the professor urged that the
veins are better kept filled with blood,
the blood flowing toward the brain IS
conducive of clearer, more rested
mental condition upon awakening, and
the heart finding easier action is not
called upon for such hard work, and
therefore the tired feeling often accom-
panying the first awakening is done
away with.

DOLLS OF FASHION.
How Ladies Obtained the Styles In the
Fifteenth Century.

Long before ladies' newspapers were
started and fashion plates in their mod
ern form were thought of. ladies de-
rived their knowledge of the fashions
from dolls dressed in model costumes,
which were sent from one country to
another, most especially from Paris,
which then as now was the leading
center of the mode. This custom of
exchanging fashion dolls commenced
early in the fifteenth century, and pre-
vailed for more than one hundred
