,Dyspepsia Proof.

Much is said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race
OF America that is certainly not
greatly troubled by the modern curse.
The sturdy little Eskimos defy all the
laws OF hygiene and thrive. The Es.
lr-mo. like the ordinary dweller in
America, eats until he is satisfied, but
there is this difference, that he never
is satisfied while n shred of the feast
remains unconsumed. His capacity is
limited by the supply, and by that
only.
He cannot make any mistake about
the manner of cooking his food, for
as rule he does not cook it, nor 80
far as the blubber or fat of the arctic
animal is concerned, about his method
OF eating it, for he simply does not
eat it; he cuts it into long strips an
inch wide and an inch thick, and then
lowers the strips down his throat as
one might lower rope into a we'll.
And after all that he does not suf-
fer from indigestion. He can make a
good meal off the flesh and skin of
the walrus, provision SO hard and
gritty that in cutting up the animal
the knife must be continually sharp
ened.
The teeth of the little Eskimo child
will meet in bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of an American child would meet
in the flesh of an apple. And that
when the hide of the walrus is from
one-half to one and one half inches
in thickness and bears considerable
resemblance to the skin of an elephant.
The Eskimo child will bite it and di-
gest it, too, and never know what dys-
pepsia means. Popular Science News.

FASHION NOTES.

Autumn hats are more than ordinar-
lily picturesque.
The sack or box coat is very much
in evidence this fall.
Velvet gowns aud jackets are fash
ionable for autumn wear.
Links are used, to the exclusion OF
buttons, to fasten the cuffs of shirt
waists.
Ombre or shaded ribbons and nj :
paca ribbons, which shed the dust, are
the ribbons for this fall and next
springs wear.
Ribbon bows are not now used in
the hair, unless it be very small one
used to support an aigrette or some
ornament when in full dress.
For children it is always wise to
make your design as simple as possi-
BILE. Avoid two shades of ribbon if
one will do as we'll aud any unneces-
sary number of feathers and orna-
ments.
Nothing is more becoming to the
small girl than MULE and lace. She

to her fresh young skin, and it will
add only new charms to her clear,
laughing eyes.

To Prevent Hydrophobia.

For the consolation of nervous or
timid people, the bite of n dog-even
If it proved to be mad-need not
necessarily result in bydrophobia,
though it is certainly advisable TO
treat every bite at once aud to take
every care to prevent evil conse-
quences.
When you are attacked by furious
dog it is worth remembering that his
instinct prompts him to always fly ut
any uncovered portion of our body;
80. if you have presence of mind, you
can do something toward saving your
self by covering up your hands and
protecting your face. The reason is
that the dogs saliva contains the
poison, and il his teeth have to pass
through clothing, the probability is
that the material will wipe the teeth
clean before they enter the flesh, and
thus render the wound very much less
dangerous. Nevertheless, attend at
once to bite given in anger by either
dog or cat, for very minute quantity
of the poison introduced into the
wound is sufficient to set up the dis
ease if allowed to get into the system.
This it will do if the blood carrying
the poisonous germs is permitted to
flow back to the heart in the ordinary
course.
The object, therefore, in these cases
is to stop the circulation near the
wound by making it bleed freely. II
possible to do 80, tie string or liga-
ture tightly on the side of the wound
nearest to the heart and set to work
at once to bathe the bitten place.
Warm water is best, but if there is
none handy, use cold. If far away
from water, the bite may be sucked,
provided there are no cracks on lips
or mouth. This method of inducing
bleeding is, however, only to be used
when no other is practicable. Should
it be impossible to obtain medical
assistance within reasonable time
some people recommend that the
wound be cauterized with red-hot
wire, poker or some such thing. But
if doctor can be had, you need only
continue to bathe the spot until he
arrives. Washington Star.

who makes no efforts.

beggar as in king.

sesses contented mind.

out doing it to ourselves.
People who carry sunshine with
them, shine the brightest in the
darkest places.
The man with only one idea Is
much more dangerous than the man
without any ideas at all.
The things which man jokes him.
self about are just the things that he
doesn't like to have other people Joke
about.
A Agreat many will be looking for
their wings when they awake in the
other world and will not be able to
find them.

when he tells her she is pretty, but
she would not have him punished

How n Snake Does IL.

The following is an interesting para
graph in letter sent to friends here
by Harry Hammond, formerly of this
city, who is now making his home in
Florida:
To-day had the good luck to see
a curious sight, that of one snake kill
ing and swallowing another. We came
on the scene just as king snake
was killing black snake, each little
over three feet long. The king was
tied and coiled round the black, and
the latter's tail could just wiggle. AT
ter few minutes, during which the
king tied himself in the most curious
knots and ran his head up and down
his victims writhing body, biting it
here and there as if examining his
supper, he turned to the blacks head,
gave it preliminary bite, and then
slowly proceeded to take the black
snake into camp. 1t seemed impos-
sible that he could swallow snake as
long and as large as himself, but he did.
This is how he did it:
"He would stretch his head as far
as possible, get his teeth hooked in
his victims scales, then slip his body
up till it was in wrinkles at his neck
and for some way down, then loose
his tooth hold and slide his head for
ward for another grip, just as if you
were putting on tight glove, in fact.
1t was the most interesting operation
think ever witnessed, and the king
swallowed all but three inches OF the
tail of the poor blaeksnake aud then,
with that dangling from his mouth,
glided off into the grass. We let him
go, as he is known enemy to the
rattlesnakes and often kills them. -

FIRST WOMAN CYcLIsT.

Mrs. w. G.. Smith, wife of the
man who invented the drop frame
bicycle, was the first woman to ven-
ture on n safety in this country. She
had long admired the bicycle, but
considered that riding diamond
frame was utterly out of the question.
Eight years ago she urged her hus-
band to invent wheel which women
could ride in safety and comfort, and
some regard for the proprieties.
Smith constructed wheel on the
same principles involved in the drop
frame of today and it was ridden by
Mrs. Smith. 1t weighed sixty ponnds.
1t was the general opinion at the
time that woman could not maintain
her equilibrium on wheel any lighter
than that.
Mrs. Smith, by the way, weighed
but eighty pounds when she first be-
gan to ride the bicycle. Things have
changed since then. Now the bicycle
is forty pounds lighter and the women
riders are heavier.

And found on bed of mosses
A bird with broken wing.

But the bird with the broken pinion
Never scared so high again.

And touched with a Christlike pity

And struggled not in vain
But the life that sin had stricken
Never scared as high again.
But the bird with the broken pinion
Kept another from the snare;
And the life that sin has stricken
Raised another from despair.
Each loss has its compensation.
There is healing for every pain;
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never scars as high again.

The Tongue.

The perfectly healthy tongue is
clean, moist, lies loosely in the mouth,
is round at the edge and has no prom
inent papillm. The tongue may be
furred from local causes. or from SYM
pathy with the stomach, intestines or
liver. The dry tongue occurs most
frequently in fevers, and indicates q
nervous prostration or depression. A
white tongue Is diagnostic simply of
the feverish condition, with perhaps
a sour stomach. When it is moist
and yellowish brown it shows
disordered digestion. Dry and
brown indicates low state of the
system, possibly typhoid. When the
tongue is dry and red and smooth,
look out for Inflammation, gastric or
intestinal. When the papillm on the
tongue are raised and very red we call
1t strawberry tongue and that means
scarlet fever. Sharp pointed red
tongue will hint brain irruption or
inflammation, and yellow coated in.
dicates liver arrangement. When SO
much can be gained from an examin.

is that the youngest child should be
taught to put its tongue out so that il

Banana-leaves serve many useful
purposes, for of them are made tough
paper, from the thinnest tissue to
thickest cardboard; clothing, hats and
brushes, mats and hammocks. Mil
lions of pounds of banana fiber, mis-
named Manila "hemp." are each year
brought to the United States or taken
to Europe, and spun into cordage
from the fineness OF silk up through
the size of twine to the bigness OF
mamouth cables; and many a dainty
handkerchief and bit of fine lace has
been woven from the fibers OF banana
leaves by the deft fingers of the women

HEAVY WEIGHT SILKS,

Silk was never in greater demand
than it will be this coming winter.
The heaviest weaves, the thickest
cords, will be most in favor. Light
weight silks will be used only for lin
ings. Heavy moires and richly bro
,aded satins with raised flowers in
contrasting hues, and in shades to
match the ground tint, will be the
fabrics for dinner and evening wear.

HOW TO KEEP THE EYES BRIGHT.

Never rub your eyes nor allow your
children to do 80 from their cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight. especially
those spotted or covered with q pat
tern; 80 eschew wells when you can, or
wear the softest, clearest net when
obliged to do 80. Never rend in bed
or when lying on sofa. Sit with
your back to the light when engaged
in reading or working. Pale blues or
green's are the most restful wall papers
for the eyes, whereas red is exceeding
Iy fatiguing. Do not read, write or
work longer than two hours without
resting your eyes and closing them
fully five minutes.

MAKING OVER DISCARDED GOWNS.


A favorite gown of silk, challie or
any figured or striped material, after
its original service has expired, may
be made to do excellent duty as tea
gown. The bodice should be cut off
neatly at the belt line and renovated,
if needed, in any simple way by II
jabot of lace or revers OF velvet
from some other discarded gown.
The skirt is then ripped carefully,
Innings all taken out and sponged and
pressed, if need be, and from the best
of it four straight widths, hemmed all
round. except across the top, pre-
pared.
These are to be fitted to the waist
two at the front and sides, and the
other two laid in small plaits to join
the back waist line. All fly open from
the waist, the polonaise for such being
worn with an old black silk skirt. A
very dressy house gown made from a
challie that had a red flower in it was
produced in this way. aud a skirt Of

ARTIFICIAL GARDENS ON THE HEAD.

ARTIFICIAL GARDENS ON THE HEAD.
A writer in one of the London
fashion papers hopes that the present
fashion of wearing quantity of arti-
fetal flowers on the headgear will long
flourish as it gives employment to a
very large class of poor women. TAX
ing one thing with another, from the
aesthetic point of view, Indies may
just as we'll wear flowers MS anything
else. Englishwomen have a heavy
taste in headgear, and feather stuck
in otherwise than with the most artist
ic nicely always gives a ridiculous
look to hat or bonnet. This is not
so much the case with flowers, which
are now lovelier than ever, and can
be manufactured in several different
materials. There is no reason why
this fashion should not hold its own
in autumn and winter as we'll us in
summer, since velvet leaves and rich
deep tints have so excellent an effect
on either bonnets or chapeaux.

starting for this city he had filled po-

ding had been set for next Tuesday, and
the happy young fellow was counting the
minutes almost until the time came for
him to take the train for the trip, upon the
return portion OF which he was TO be ac-
companied by a charming bride.
Wednesday afternoon message flashed
over the wire to Miss Van Vain. Ii told
her to start for Philadelphia at once, for
her fiance had been badly hurt. II found
her in the midst Of preparations for the
wedding.
The meeting between the two young peo
pie who had planned to so Soon become
one is said to have been one of the most
pathetic that ever occurred within the walls
of the Hahnemann. Young Chatterton's
father had preceded Miss Van Vain, and
it was he who led her into the room where
her intended lay white and still, all broken
and bruised and bandaged.
