ing to relieve intestinal dyspepsia to ap-
portion nicely the blame and TO be sure
chat the stomach is not primarily at
fault.
Intestinal dyspepsia may, then, be
secondary to stomach trouble, or 1t may
depend upon disease of the liver, PAN
creas. or the intestine itself When any
OF these organs is diseased, It must be
restored to health before tile dyspepsia
can be relieved; but often the latter is
a functional trouble due to faulty nerv-
ous action, or perhaps to errors in diet.
In such cases, which are not at all I'M
common in young children, the hope OF
relief rests rather upon proper regula-
ton of the diet than upon medicine.
Nohard and fast rule can be laid down
which will apply to all cases, but each
one must be studied by itself and ex-
perimented upon until the proper diet
is found.
Usually It will be discovered that too
much starchy food or sugar is being
taken. Through failure in the secretion
of the so-called "enzyms." which con-
vert these substances into others
capable of absorption and appropriation
by the tissues of the body, they remain
in the intestine and undergo fermenta-
ton. Thus they not only are not digest
ed themselves, but the fermentation
which takes place interferes with the
digestion of the other food matters. BY
reducing the quantity Of these Offend
ing articles Of diet, or by Withholding
them entirely for a time. great relief or
even cure may be effected.

UNLUCKY ROYAL NAMES.
Conspicuous for bringing
Misfortune.

The Christian name of Peter has never
been fashionable among royalties. This
country has never had monarch bap-
tiled as Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky, says the Lon
don Chronicle Peter, or Pedro l., en-
peror of Brazil, abdicated after an I'M
easy reign, and his son, Pedro H., was
driven to Europe by a revolution, and
died In Paris in 1891 Pedro, the Cruel,
Of CASTLE and Leon, was slain by his
brother in single combat Peter the
Great, of Russia, was guilty Of frightful
excuses; his grandson, Peter H., reign
cd only three years, and died ofsmallpOx
at the age Of -. Peter III was de-
throned and strangled by conspirators
Peter l., of Servia has already brutal
massacre behind him. John is another
name avoided by royalties We had
only one John, and the experience was
unhappy. In Scotland such was the pop
ular repugnance to the name that when
the son of Robert II assembled the
throne he changed his name from John
to Robert Few of the Jameses died in
their beds, and the alteration to Charles
was not a successful experiment. Ed
ward. George. William and Henry have,
on the whole, been fortunate names for
our sovereigns to bear.

AMERICANS NOT ECONOMICAL

do no repairs. When clothes, shoes or
furniture have served their time they
are thrown away. Machines ten years
old are sold for old iron, houses are
torn down to make room for more
modern ones"
He notes the wide use Of silk in
America among all classes, and re-
marks the privileges granted by the
United States 10 the silk manufacture

certain number of years, etc.

SHERIFF SAVED THE DAY.
In order to Prevent BlOodshed He
Was Compelled to Do Some
Killing.

Opie Read, the novelist, was telling
of his experience as a journalist in
Kentucky some years ago, says the
New York World
There was a good deal of news" he
said, "such as shootings and knifngs
but this news was not regarded as i'm
Dortant and little attention was paid
to it. | remember once when local
feud broke out afresh, when members
of the opposing sides met at the coun-
ty seat
There were hot words, a blow was
struck, and weapons were drawn,
when the sheriff interfered. He loudly
announced that he would not tolerate
any violence, ordered the parties to
separate, and when his orders were
not obeyed he began shooting.
Il forget whether he killed eight or
nine, but l know that in describing
the incident in my paper l commended
the sheriff for his prompt action and
bravery, and added the paragraph:
There is no doubt but for the prompt
action of the sheriff there would have
been hloodshed.'

In a man whole, and swallowing
calves, and that sort of thing, one
would think that the alligator had
very voracious appetite, which was
always in good working order.
"And this is all true enough OF the

$50 thousands of little alligators
that tourists send up or bring up

they get here. They live a few weeks
or a month or two without eating

"AIaybe this is just as we'll in the
case Of these alligators, for the ALI
gator would hardly do for a house

the owners Of those small alligators
are likely to be pretty well tired of
them before they die.
"But now, with alligators kept for

ones, it's different. You can't afford

how if they won't eat you've got to
devise some way of making 'em.
zone way Of doing this, with the
larger gators, is to throw food into
'em. To be able to do this you have
got, of course, to get them to open
their mouth, and in doing this you
must, of course, exercise due care,
for you don't want an alligator to
bite your hand off, or anything like
that.
cone way of feeding these larger
alligators is to stand off at safe dis

in one hand and chunk of meat in
the other. With the stick you scratch
the alligator's head until you get it
angry and it raises its upper jaw,
opening its mouth, to snap at you if
it can. Then, when its mouth is wide
open like that, you hurl the meat
down its throat, and so YOU give the

SUMMER VEILINGS.
ModIsh Varieties That Are Now Pop
uIar Among Up-tO-Dnte
Dressers.

In examining a comprehensive stock
of veilngs a surprising variety in tex
ture and design Is to be discovered, says
the Millinery Trade Review. The latest
penchant in what has been termed the
beauty veil" is for that of silk tulle OF
wide-open meshes woven indicted; yet
dotted veilings have their persistent ad-
vocates. and textures Of tulle are laid
out for inspection thickly seeded, as it
were. with specks Of velvet as minute
as the tiniest beads; and from this are
tissues fecked with dots of all sizes up
TO that Of a silver half-dime piece-the
larger the dots the scarcer on the sur
face of the texture. Contrasting with
the tulle of wide-open meshes are shown
tulles of very fine close texture, some OF
them revealing printed tracery designs
as of black on white grounding, for
example, or of white on black-necked
sparsely with small chenille dots, or
with velvet dots
Black wells continue to be in the high
est favor; yet the women of fashion
have their white, gray-miXed and pure
gray beauty wells, for changes; and tulle
veilings of open meshings have come
out in red, blues, brown, violet.

eolors, flecked with chenille dots. Scarf
Yeils in imitation Mechlin and other Of
the delicate point laces are worn in high
dress by fashionable women; and Dor
dered lace wells, worn in the old flowing
fashion, contest selection with the sim
ple recent veilings. Chiffon veilings Of
hemstitched finish, seen both plain and
dotted. are those chiefly chosen for the
purpose of protecting the complexion OF
wearers from the air. the sun and the
cold. The chiffon veilings are in black,
white. gray and all the colors approved
for wells.
