formed into an oblong globe, just the
size and shape of the human eye.
Next it passes into the coloring room.
A piece of colored enamel is placed on
the summit of the globe, and this is
gently heated in small fame and con-
tinuously rotated. Gradually this takes
the form of the iris, and then spot of
darker enamel is added to represent
the pupil. Then this is covered by a
thick layer of crystal to form the cor
nea.
At this stage the eye is detached from
the blowpipe and cooled and then sent
to the cutting room, and from It
energies shaped into small hollow
oval with irregular edges.
The edges are fired and the eye is
allowed to cool slowly, this being the
annealing or tempering process, which
tonghens the enamel and renders it less
liable to break. The final work is the
polishing, and then it is ready for the
owner. ..'
The coloring work is the most deli
cate of all, as sometimes eight or nine
colors are worked in to give the correct
shade

appreciative words! 1t costs SO little
to give encouragement and joy to our

thoughts concerning our friend may

laud his excellence to others, but never
a word of praise reaches his ear. Many

and helped over a desperately hard

heartening word. 1t is wonderful how

ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS.
Denver Physician Suggests n New
Treatment for Tuberculosis.

Denver Physician Suggests n New
Treatment for Tuberculosis.
DIR. A. Mansfield Holmes, of Denver,
delivered very interesting address at
the pan-American medical congress, in
which he spoke of the possibilities of
diagnosing tuberculosis i'll stage early
enough to permit a cure being effected.
"In the so-called active stage of tuber-
culosis there are disintegrating and
wasting of tissues.
IF we trace tuberculosis backward
from the stage of visible disintegration,
we shall sooner or later reach period
in its development in which the evil
dence of disintegration disappears from
the patient. In the active stage of the
disease we were studying the patient.
Now we are studying his leucocytes Tor
white corpuscles)." DR.. Mansfield pre-.
pares the blood films, fixes, stains,
mounts and studies them. The finger
Of the patient is cleaned antiseptically
and pricked with a sterilized needle.
The drop of blood should be used inn
mediately, q drop for each film. Cell it's
sues, as well as almost all other animal
tissues, POSSESS great aillnlty Iof stdlllSs
By long study, the shade that STAIN
ing solution communicates to cell tis-
sues in normal state may be fixed IN
ones mind. Then abnormal conditions
may be easily recognized by varia-
ton in the staining reaction of these
tissues. The doctors careful study of
100 tuberculous cases in all stages of
the disease shows that the law that
causes disintegration in tnberculous
patient brings about the same process
at an earlier date in tuberculous leu
cocytes. He believes it possible to esti-
mate the degre of tuberculous condi-
ton, and also of recuperative power;
that diagnosis based upon the funda-
mental principles of biology" may be
made.

depot, having but just arrived from the
Granite hills, fresh in military harness
and eager for the fray. Continuing the
route usually followed by the incoming
soldiers, the regiment, about 1880 p. M,
arrived at the farther or Virginia end
of the old Aqueduct bridge, and en-
camped for the night on the sloping
hills lying between Fort Corcoran and
the Potomac, the venerable pile Of
Georgetown college showing its twink
ling lights directly opposite as dark
ness fell. ..E

The COlOrs of Animals.

1t seems to I've the result of long-con-
tinued natural selection that the colors
of animals at night seem to blend with
their surroundings, and thus afford
protection. Dark brown, gray and
black animals appear so much like shad-
cws as to be nearly invisible. Patches
of white often appear like moonlight
effects. While. the brilliant coloring of
butterflies serves to render them con-
spicuous in the daytime, when perched
upon golden-rod or other bright flowers
at night they are nearly invisible. The
stripes on the tiger and zebra help
to conceal them among the stalks and
reeds; and fishes which rest at night
among eel grass have longitudinal dark
stripes.

IN REGARD TO GIFTS.
Random Presents Not ms Effective as
Systematic Ones


Systematic Ones.
Loving friends and relatives are apt
TO give a superabundance of toys to the
children in whom they are interested,
and child really becomes fretful and
troublesome who has more toys than
he needs. Instead of giving the chill
dren toys on each birthday, try giving
both boys and girls articles in silver
ware and linen. Present silver fork,
table or teaspoon on each birthday, and
have the date clearly engraved on each
article. Continue until one dozen spoons
or forks have been given, then begin
with different article.
In a family where there are three
maiden aunts, teaspoon, tablespoon
and fork are giTen upon each birthday
to their little niece, so at the age of IL
this little maiden will be the happy
possessor of one dozen of each of these
articles.
The grandfather presents handsome
piece of linen at the same time, and the
little woman is extremely proud of her
handsome possessions.
Try this plan. 1t is far wiser than 10
spend the same amount upon some toy
that will be broken or thrown aside al
most before the day is done.-Philadel-

FEMININE NECKWEAR.
Collars, Collar Bands. Frills, Tucks,
and other Things.

unu Otnef Inln&ss
Fashion in collar bands and their
decoration still plays an important part
in the finish of our costumes, and while
they are not so deliberately trimmed as
they were in the winter, frill of some
sort, and above all the touch of white,
is a positive necessity for the success
of fashionable gown. A short ruche,
wider at the back than at the sides,
appears on all the half dressy gowns,
and this is made of lace or net in any
of the bright colcrs. Deep cream or
white is the most becoming, and the
net is doubled and plated in box plaits,
but all these ruches are less full than
they were and not so wide. A double
cuche of black net and an inner one of
white lace is very effective on some
gowns. These little frills are shown
in the shops made of chiffon net and
lace all plated into band ready to
haste inside the collar.
Loops of ribbon are still used at the
back of dressy gowns, with the lace
ruche falling between, and one pretty
neck finish is two quarter of yard
lengths of four-inch black satin ribbon
cut with standing ends and plated on
enc edge in small double box plat,
forming two little frills meeting in the
back, and the lace, which begins mar
rowly in the sides, falls over these. The
tucked collar bands are very pretty
with simply the lace ruche in the edge,
and the knot effect in front is another
fancy this season which is very pretty
On some gowns. Linen collars areNstiil
worn with shirt waists, but the stock
collar of silk, with narrow turnover
collar of linen is by far the most fash
ionable. This sort of finish is seen on
almost every bodice intended especially
for morning wear. The narrow linen
collar comes in great variety, plain,
hemstitiched, and with tiny insertion in
lines of embroidery little way from
the edge, and trimmed with lace. Then
there are various shapes in linen lawn
with insertions and edgings of lace,
and embroidered edges as well. Stocks
made of the silk like the bodice tied n
soft bow with hemstitched ends in
front, and narrow linen collar turned
over the edge, are in excellent taste as
we'll as good style. Ribbon is used for
stocks, with the order of last season
reversed and the bow tied in front, and
the same narrow linen collar is the fin
iSh, with narrow cuffs to match.-N. Y.

SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Step Towards the Logical Solution
of It's Mysteries.

of It's Mysteries. ..
Some apparently unexplainable mys-
teries of photography seem to depend
upon a previous exposure of a plate,
without the owners knowledge. An
exposure was made of the interior of a
house. The plate developed more quick
ly than was expected, and the image
was quite different from the room in
tended to be photographed. The plate
was from fresh box. An exposure was
made with a river in the foreground
The finished picture revealed the figure
of woman, apparently upright in the
water. To complete the mystery, the
body of a woman was found in the river
a few weeks afterward, in the exact
spot of which the photograph was
taken. Papers awhile ago were telling
of an exposure upon haunted" house.
The negative showed picture at win
dow, said to be that of man murdered
there. A photograph of a garden
showed dog, child's dress, and a
hat, which had not been there at the
time the plate was exposed. Upon trac-
ing the history of this glass it was found
that it had been used for other films.
1t had been washed, immersed in nitric
acid, and every means used to insure
chemical cleanliness, yet energy enough
remained latent to form a developable
image upon the new film. This is a
step toward the solution of the mystery
of ghost Photography."-Chicago In

sTUPEFYINe EFFECT OF COLD.
The Weariness That Precedes Death
by Freezing.


One of the most powerful modes of
checking the increased action of local
inflammation is to diminish the tenn
perature of the parts. Heat to GER
tain extent is necessary for all vege-
table and animal action; increase the
temperature and these actions are in
creased; diminish the temperature and
these actions are diminished. That this
is the case, we think, is apparent from
the influence of the returning spring
upon the vegetable kingdom and hiber-
mating animals; they leave their abode
and commence a new series of actions;
on the return of the winter we find
both again shut up in a state of in
dolence and inactivity. Now, although
we are not dormice, we feel the change
from heat to cold very disagreeably,
and we know that some degrees of cold
very much diminish our muscular eff
forts. When DR.. Solander was with
Capt. Cook in his voyage around the
world 4 party landed on some part Of
North America, among them was the
doctor himself. He had just been eau
tioning them against the benumbing
and stupefying effects of cold, and of
the danger there was in giving way to
such feelings. He had just finished
what he had to say on the subject when
he was taken in the very way himself.
He said: 81 am very weary. let me lie
down; do let me lie down for a few
minutes" but if they had he would
never have raised himself again. The
other officers insisted upon his exert
ing himself, and absolutely drove him
before them, and it was with the great
est difficulty that he could reach the

Requires Great Skill Both I'm Cast
ing and COlOring.
The glass eye making industry is
larger than most people have any idea
of, the trade being stimulated by the
fact that the life OF usefulness of a
glass eye is from six months to one
year, rarely longer. The salts con-
tanned in the tears have disastrous ac-
ton on the enameled glass, and eat it
away to such an extent that the tiny
spheres become so much smaller in
size that they can be worn only with
great discomfort. In New York there
is factory turning out 500 glass eyes
in the course of single week
In it's initial stage the eye, says the
New York Herald, is long, slender
stick of enamel, made of perfectly
transparent and fusible flint glass. This
is placed in a crucible and exposed to
great heat. The globemaker places the
enamel over blowpipe supplied with
wind, which is pumped by engine
power. II
Under the careful manipulation Of
the workman the enamel tube is
