EAs Dssignsr for the Bradley Martin
Bail Talks OF His Art.
Consuming is an art which requires
thorough historical knowledge. Few
people realize this, but nevertheless to
costume correctly you must be q pro-
found student Of history"
This is what w. c. Stone, the New
York designer and costumer who was
in Topeka for the purpose of designing
the gowns for the festival queen and
court, said when asked about costum-
ing in general, says the Topeka State
Journal. Mr.. Stone was formerly on
the stage, but left the profession six
years ago to take up the work of cos.
tuner.
"The work Of costumer is in sense
suggested to him." continued Mr. Stone
people come to him with crude ideas
and suggestions and he simply perfects
them and carries them out. To do this
he must be acquainted with almos,
every period since the world was made,
and it takes good, hard study and re-.
search to be able to meet all require
ments.
LAS an instance of what costumer
must know may be cited the big Brad
ley Martin ball in New York city. The
| costumes worn at the ball were of all
periods and ages, and the costumerS'
patrons simply told them what char
acter they wished to represent. 1t was

ABOUT INDIGESTION.
What Causes 1t and How 1t May BE
Avoided.

Avoided.
From the Youths Companion.
America has the reputation, less deserv-
ed now, perhaps, than it was half cen
fury ago, of being the land of the dyspep-
tic. When we consider the causes that
were formerly at work to prevent healthy
digestion, we cannot wonder that so many
suffered from this malady.
The men were too busy to devote the ne
cessary time to their meals, and boiled
their food without the thorough mastica-
ton thot ensures the proper beginning of
the digestive process. The women had
more time to eat, IL they would have TAX
en- it, but they went out little taking al
most no exercise, and the quantity of food
eaten was almost always in excess of the
needs OF the bOdy--a most favorable con-
junction for the production of dyspepsia.
Finally, the food itself was of such a
Kind and prepared in such a way as to tax
the digestive organs to the utmost. The
frying pan reigned supreme, and grea sy,
smoked and corned meats, with hot sala-
ratus biscuits or heavy pancakes, led the
assault at breakfast time upon the sorely
overworked stomach, hardly recovered af-
ter nights rest from Its herculean strug-
gle with the hot bread, pie and doughnuts
of the preceding supper.
So much has been said and written on
this subject that these causes are less ac-
tive to-day. but they are still sufficiently
SO to bring misery to large numbers.
The familiar symptoms of dyspepsia are
a coated tongue a oisagreeable breath and
a bad taste In the mouth. The appetite
may be poor, or it may be ravenous, there
may be nausea and vomiting, feeling of
weight in the stomach and often of oppres-
sion in the chest. There will probably be
much fatulence and heartburn, and more
or less acute pain.
a great danger to be avoided In dyspep-
STA is self-treatment. The patient watches
himself, cuts off one article of diet after
another which he has been led to believe,
offer without reason, to be injurious TO
him, until he nearly starves himself: or
he swallows box after box of pills, or bot
tie after bottle Of DR.. Somebody's anti
dyspepticum, until his powers of digestion
are utterly ruined.
If an intelligent physician Is ever needed
by any one, 1t Is by the sufferer from this
distressing and complicated malady, which
must be taken in hand early to be cured
easily, or perhaps at all.

From the Ladies' Pictorial
Babies are made much of all the world
over, but in China especially they are sur
rounded with host Of mysterious super
stitions and practices.
They are very comical to look at, these
children Of the Celcstlals; from the day
they are born they are put into a little
coat and trousers, with wee cap to keep
the head warm, and little shoes on their
feet. In fact, they are the exact counter
parts of their parents in miniature
child is not bathed until the third day;
it is not considered lucky to do so before.
When this has been done, charms, con
slstinG of lucky cash Smallest coin) and
small silver toys, are attached by red cord
to the child's wrists, and worn for many
months. This is to keep away all evil spir-
its.
Red strips of paper, with certain charac-
tiers written on them, are also nailed up
outside Ine door of babys room to ward oil
all evil Influences.
These strips are kept up until after the
eleventh day, and it IS usual for no strang-
e. 10 enter until they have been removed.
When a Chinaman has lost several chill
dren, on the birth of another he is es-
pcc!ally careful to guard it from evil spin
its, who evidently have a spite against
him. He, therefore, invests in a sword
made out of cash, and strung together with
red cord.
This is hung up by babys bed as a
charm, and is considered very effective.
The child generally leaves the room at
the enc of the mouth, and on that day the
head is shaved for the first time.
l cannot learn that any great Importance
is attached TO the giving of name to the
child. 1t is. as a rule, the grand father OF
grandmother on the fathers side for choice
who names it, but if they are dead it de-
wolves on the mother s parents or some Ell
derby relation.
When baby has arrived at the mature
age of four months the maternal grand
mother makes it a present of d most elab-
crate chair with a table attached. There
is generally a feast on this day, and many
friends are invited.
curious custom is observed when the
child is a year old Again a party is
given to celebrate the event, and a large
sieve is placed upon the table with various
articles laid upon it-books, writing i'm
plements, gold, silver, fruit, etc. Baby,
attired in new red clothes, with red cord
braided in his hair, is placed in the cen
ter of the sieve, and, according to what
articles he SEXES first will his fortune
be told. If he takes up the money, of
course, he will become a merchant and
rich; if a book why, he will be learned
and distinguished himself in literature.
In every household there is an image of
the goddess Of children, who is supposed
to have the care of the little ones till
they grow up. Many offerings are made
to her, especially on the child's birthday
When a child reaches the age of sixteen
years he is supposed to pass from the
control of this particular goddess, and a
ceremony is gone through called the "go-

USE OF ARTIFICIAL EYES.
DR.. BOissOneau's First Step Forward
in 1865.
From the Optician.


The first artificial eyes to be inserted
under the eyelids were made about the
wear 1860 of enameed gold by Ambrose
Pere, an eminent French physician. With
the beginning of the next century Febri-
cius another physician, manufactured
them at Meram from glass, and that ma
terial was largely used, the trade being
almost entirely confined to Paris al
though, according to Busch C'Handbuch
der Erindungen," lSD, who quotes from
ismund the great glass worker, took up
the manufacture at Nuremburg, where
after his death in 1906 1t was carried on
by his eldest daughter. But, as we have
said, France remained the sole country in
which the trade flourished.
Special lead glass or enamel, was used,
and the mode of manufacture left much
to be desired the glasses being prepared
in gross instead of being calculated for
specific cases. AS late as 1850 the usual
procedure, as described in thee Manuel
de Nerrier" by Julia de Fontenelle and
Malepeyere, was to cut ovals from plain
glass, placing them, dozens at time,
on a metal slab, which, after Enclosure in
an iron box was introduced into a furnace
untn the partial melting of their sub
stance caused a rounding of the upper
surface.
After cooling and grinding backs and
edges the outer surface was colored and
the artificial eye was finished. Ii nSeed
hardly be said that with artificial eyes of
this kind surgical eXcision of the stump
was imperative.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S LIVER.
AS Result of an Italian Surgeons
Operation He Has Only Part of One.

As Result of an italian SurpeOp,.
Operation He Has Only Part of One
From the New York Tribune.
There are a few officers of the navy
who can recall when Rear Admiral George
Dewey once before faced death, and an
occasion when that officer didn't have
half chance; but 1t was an occasion that
he did not wish to have made public at
the time nor for some time afterward.
Perhaps some will be prompted, when
they meet him after his return from the
Philippines, to say to him, "Well you had
had liver' But that is just what Ad-
miral George Dewey hasn't, nor has he
had one for several years. Now a good,
whole liver is regarded as indispensable to
keep man going, but Dewey has shown
to the world what he can do with only
part of liver.
1t was when Dewey was captain only
that he underwent a terrible operation
under an Italian surgeons knife and haz-
arded a possible chance of life, and for
long time afterward ne suffered intensely
from the effects of the marvellous excis-
ion. He was commanding officer of the
sloop- of-war Pensacola in the European
squadron at the time, and he had become
desperately i'll from what mariners are
frequently troubled with "tropic liver"
in other words, what is more commonly
spoken of as a baked liver" or tropical
liver ailment, which is as much more
severe than yellow jaundice as all tropi-
cal diseases are more Virulent than the
corresponding types in temperate zones.
On two occasions Medical Director Hoeh-
ling expressed alarm as 10 the result un-
less some relief was brought to hand
Finally at Malta, a consultation was
held between Surgeon Hoehlng and his
assistant and an Italian specialist of
Southern Italy, who belonged to the class
that make themselves familiar with those
troubles, because in the climate of the
Mediterranean they are an indigenous pro
duct The trouble was soon diagnosed.
and it was suggested that the only relief
was to remove that part of the liver that
had become hardened. 1t was also recOg-
nized that the operation would be a haz-
ardous one. When spoken to about it
Capt. Dewey asked what was the chance
of making the operation successful. The
Italian expert responded: There's only
one chance in ten of your living through
it." To this the officer replied that he
would take that chance and for the sur
geons to go to work as soon as they wish
ed. The patient was put under the influ-
ence of anaesthetics, his stomach was. cut
into and the diseased end of the liver
drawn out and inspected and then cut Off.
The remaining part was treated to pre-
vent hemorrhage and then put back IN
place, and the lips made by the surgeons
knife were sewed up. The recovery was
a slow process, but it was successful
operation, and he is as able to do duty
to-day is if no operation had ever been
necessary. But has most intimate ac-
quaintances say that the operation work
ed a change in his temperament.
