the result too often being either nv
opia or strabismus,i the former due to
protracted nerve strain and the latter
to repeated efforts to dodge the closely
woven f1laments of wool.
"AS a matter of faetc the prevailing
idea that a baby's eyes are too weak to
bear the light of day is nothing more or
less than arrant nonsense. If there is
no congenital eye trouble to begin with
the child should, after the first week or
two or it's life, be accustomed to go out
into the open air with it's face wholly
uncovered, care being observed, how
ever, so to adjust the sunshade at
tached to the baby carriage that neith-
er the rays of the sun nor the glare
from the sky can fall directly upon the
baby eyes. A little ordinary vigilance
on the part of the tots attendant will
effectually provide for this need.
"If mothers could only realize what
an ordeal of physical torture the daily
outing often is to the average small
baby-overweigh with clothing and
rugs, strapped up like a trussed chick
en-, SO that free respiration is almost as
impossible as voluntary motion, and
forced by the same thick veil that OBJ
scures his vision to inhale and REIN
hale his own warm breath until it be-
comes positively fetid-it is safe to pre-
dict that a reform movement would
speedily be instituted that would at
least abolish the pernicious face cover
ing. even if it did nothing else.
1T sometimes happens, however, that
it becomes a matter of necessity to
provide some such protection for a
sleeping or very young baby, owing to
the proximity of vicious or poisonous
insects. When this is the case, the
most satisfactory results will be OBJ
tanned by throwing a piece of clear net
or mosquito bar-preferably green
lightly over the entire carriage, this
simple expedient effectually preventing
the incursion of winged pests, while
permitting free circulation of air
through and beneath the covering.
Moreover, the transparency of the lat
ter offers no obstacle to the baby's
sight" tc.st

chine silk, silk muslin or crepe, with
lace insertions lengthwise, crosswise or
forming plaids and narrow ruffies of
lace to match on borders. With these
there is almost always a wide collar
effect with elaborate insertions. In
one just imported which had not a col
lar, there was an exquisite French lace
yoke on which were applied chine
Dresden roses cut from taffeta ribbon.
The lower part was of three bands of
the ribbon fagotted to insertions of
lace and in the finest accordion plait-
ing that can be made. This was fin
iShed by a full lace ruff1e and scarf of
pink silk mousseline tied at front with
flower designs applied on, ends above
lace insertions and the border frill.
One of the latest lace combinations
for the yokeS and founceS Is Irish lace
with Valenciennes, and charming eff
fects are produced by ending the finer
insertions under a motif Of the heavier,
for which purpose single flower de-
signs and medallions of various shapes
are made.

that man is heir to, but perhaps Miss
Mellesi Rose Of Morristown, N. J., is
the first experimenter with the fad to
proclaim 1t a cure for rheumatism.
Miss Rose is sixty-eight years old, and
for the last forty years she has suffered
from rheumatism in arms, legs or
hands. Her hands were twisted and
knotted till she could not hold knife
or fork, she was unable to walk more
than a few hundred feet, and as a re-
suit of the agonies she endured she al
most went insane. Now there came to
MorriStoWn one Dominic Sherman, for
merly a Presbyterian clergyman, who
preached the 'no-breakfaSt' gospel. He
had cured himself of insomnia by
course of going without breakfast, and
eating less at the other meals, so he
lectured on the "no-breakfast" plan.
Miss Rose was one of his auditors.
Four months ago she began to follow
in his footsteps, making her first meal
of the day at noon. She can now walk
four or five miles without pain, or I'M
due fatigue, and is correspondingly
we'll in other respects. She attributes
here recovery solely to no breakfasts.
Cereals, as a rule, make a good
breakfast dish, the New York Medi-
cal Journal says, but it warns people
the contention that they are in any
special way brain foods" Good di-
gestion," says this journal, such diges-
ton as the ordinary man possesses, is
quite equal to the task of providing
the system with all the nutritive ele-
ments that any portion of it may re-
quire from the miscellaneous diet that
most of us subsist on. The idea that a
perfectly healthy person may be made
healthier by particular diet seems to
have taken strong hold upon many
members of the community, but medi
cal men recognize the absurdity and
omit no occasion to combat 1t, though
it must be admitted that 1t is hardly
likely to do harm. Not only are the
cereals not brain foods in any tech
nical sense, but there is reason to sup
pose that some Of the highly lauded
and widely advertised preparations are
actually harmful in their action"

BILL JoHNsoN's DOG.

Bill Johnson had a yellow cur;
This yellow Cdr had fieas.
They nestled in his saffron fur
AS coy as you please.
The CANNES cognomen was Jim,
The insects name was legion;
Their favortte resting place on him
Was in the lumbar region.
The fieas they stuck to this here dog;
The dog stuck to his master
As close as bark upon a log
Or as porous platser
Things got so bad as last that Bill
Brought home some poison stuff
The druggist said the fieas 'twould kill
If they but took enough.
The fieas they ate that poison up
And died in great distress.
Alas! When they were gone the pup
Died too of lonesomeness.
So now Bill Johnson has no cur
The cur he has no fleas
The moral is as you'll infer,
That dogs are hard to please.

vorite with sojourners. Some of these,
however, in fit of compassion for the
lonely old soul, determined to spend an
hour with her on a certain sweltering
afternoon during the dog days. Make
it half an hour" pleaded one of the
party. Stay as long as conversation
lasts" suggested an experienced mem
Der. On arrival the weather was, of
course, discussed from every possible
point of view. Then such other topics
as are usually supposed to interest
native suburbanites. To all observa-
lions and questions concerning these
the hostess accorded a pleasant but in
variably monosyllabic reply. The stu
atom was becoming serious. The last
ditch seemed to have been reached
when self-satisfied old white hen
Strolled past the window. ooh, Miss
Hannah! How are your chickens this
year?" one of the guests inquired with
enthusiasm, hoping to open the way
for general discussion of poultry
matters. They're WELL" graveIy re-

ARGUMENT ON RICE WILL.
Jerome Accused of Net Keeping Promise to
Move Indictments.

The Rice will case was argued before the Appel.
late Division of the Supreme Court yesterday after
noon. The came before the court appeal
from the decision of, Surrogate Frank Fitzgerald
last June admitting to probate the will Of William
NJ Rice made September 2S, 1886. in which he left
his entire residuary estate to the William NJ. Rice
Institute Of Houston Tex. and denying probate to
the alleged will OF Mr.. Rice, bearing date Of June
30 1900 in which Albert T. Patrick who was con-
victed before Recorder Goff of numbering Mr. Rice
is made residuary legatee. This appeal brings up
before the Appellate Court the civil side Of the
litigation growing out of PatrickS relations with
William n. Rice.
The argument for Patrick made by John c.
Tomlinson, who urged two reasons why the APPEL
late Division should reverse the decision Of Sur
rogate Fitzgerald. He said it the duty OF the
Surrogate to adjourn the proceedings, because OF
the pendency OF the criminal proceedings not only
against Patrick, but also against Short and Myers
the subscribing witnesses named in that WILL who
had been indicted for forgery upon the complaint
of the executors in the earlier WILL but had
been tried The subscribing witnesses had asked
the District Attorney to move on their indictment
for trial, but Mr. TomHnson ssjd that District At
torney Jerome, though he had promised to do so,
had never kept his promise As their criminal
trial was evident, these witnesses stood on their
constitutional rights and claimed privilege from
testifying before the Surrogate. and the Surrogate
as ne was bound to do. allowed their claim
Mr.. Tomlinsong second ground for urging that
the decree should be set aside was that the evi-
conclusion that the will executed in 1895 was the
last will Of Mr.. Rice. but that the contrary the
proof showed that Mr.. Rice had consulted another
lawyer about executing a later will. had told an
intimate friend that he had made a later will, and
that every circumstance pointed the fact that at
the time Of Mr. Rces death the earlier viii no
longer represented Mr.. Rces testamentary wishes.
Upon this state Of the evidence before the surro-
gate. Mr. ToSlllnson argued. the Surrogate was not
justified in reaching other conclusion than that
the later Will which was in due form and which
bore the signature OF two witnesses whose charac-
ter had in no way been attacked. was q genuine
instrument. and did revoke the earlier will.
