How Noise Shortens Life.

From the Family Doctor.
Noise is an undoubted factor In impairing
the tone of the nerve centers. Whether
we are conscious of 1t or not it hurts the
brain and has a deafening, dazzling, bewil-
dering effect on the mental processes. 1t
tires the brain and tends to produce cere-
bral hyperemia. To live in a noisy atmos-
phere is to shorten ones days. Irritability,
neurasthen4a, insomnia are common eff
fects The tympanum or drum membrane
of the ear is injured, the circulation of the
cerebro-spinal fluid is disturbed, and the
nerve cells themselves suffer as though SUBJ
jected to mechanical violence.

Ladies' Dainty Collars.

One of the most fascinating of the
seasons styles are the dainty collars,
which are seen everywhere. on every
dress, no matter whether 1t be wash
material or silk These same collars
play an important part in the finishing
of the gown. AS the season advances
there are many calls for rundown or
low collars, and we are illustrating
two styles, which will suit the needs
of all. The one illustrated with the
stock is prettily shaped, and may be
worn with or without the stock. The
other may be made with round, square
or fancy corners, as one desires. The
belt may be made of white plque,
linen, silk or material like the gown.
With the aid of the pattern and few
cents cost one may buy material for
several belts, and the cost not equal
one "ready-made.' The set of two
collars and belt may be had for 10
cents.

Children Gain Weight in Autumn.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Some curious experiments have been made
at one of the royal philanthropic institu-
lions in Copenhagen. For some years back
the seventy boys and girls in the place
have been carefully weighed every day in
groups of fifteen and under. Thereby it is
proved that the children gain weight mostly
in autumn and in the early part of Decem-
ber From that time to the end of April
there is scarcely any increase in weight.
More remarkable still, there is a diminution
till the end of summer.

Girls FrOck.

Russian styles are always becoming to
young girls and are greatly in vogue at the
present time. The stylish little design
shown here has many attractive features.
The waist, with its opening at the side, dis
closes pointed yoke effect-both front and
back. The waist and skirt are in one piece.
Every mother knows the particular advan-
tage of this style of dress. Sew up the
shoulder and under-arm seams and the
dress Is put together. A pretty little con-
ceit is the sleeve-cap, which, by the way, is
going to be worn great deal. The model
is good one to follow for any kind Of ma
terial, and will make very serviceable and
attractive school dress. A pretty develop
ment would be in plain or striped linen
using bias bands of the material and white
embroidery for decoration, or make the
dress of red or blue cashmere and trim
with any of the colored embroidery bands,
which are very pretty and yet inexpen-
sive.

Autopsy.

DR.. G. B. Hedges and A. Andrews,
made postm ortem examination OF
TIE remains, of David Qrirk shot by
Parker Teter, on Monday, at the un-
dertaking room of w. H. Wilen by
direction of the Prosecuting Attorney.
The examination showed that the
bullet had struck Quirk Immediately
ever the right eye. After crashing
through the frontal bone the rnissive
plowed its way entirely through both
heplispt eres OF the brain and lodged
against the skull in the rear. The
course of the bullet was oblique, and
was found slightly toward and on
level with the left ear. The channel
made by the leaden messenger Of
death was about three-quarters OF an
inca in diameter large enough to ad-
nit the entrance of the index finger
OF a man. The bullet struck the rear
portion of the skull with such force
as 70 shatter it like an egg shell, and
the physicians had NO trouble in either
locating the lead or removing it.
The bullet is now in possession Of
DR.. Andrews, and the revolver in the
custody of the prosecuting attorney.
The lead was fatteutd and mashed
out of shape by the impact against
both walls Of the skHll, but its size
and weight would indicate that it was
lrei from 44-calbre pistol.
The grand jury was not long in re-
turning an indictment against youn g
Teter, and he was held for trial in the
Ciicuit Court on charge OF murder
in the first degree. 1t is not believed
that the trial will come up at this
term OF court, it being allowed to go
over young Teter will be defended By
Attorney Stuart Walker.
