W. 7. STEAD ON VAUDEVILLE.

William T. stead has visited a Lon
don music hall. and taken the public
into his confidence as to the impress
sions he enjoyed while there. The
first impression, he says, was one OF
intolerable boredom. For three and
half solid hours sat, patiently lis
tening to the most insufferable banal-
ity and imbecility that ever fell upon
human ears" Then he became angry.
my second impression" he continues,
twas one Of wrathful indignation. IL
seemed intolerable that In Ammo Do
mini 1906 the heirs OF thousands OF
years Of civilization and the product
of thlrty-hve years OF the education
era, should relish this inane drlyel. II
was not tho immortality that reused
me so much as the imbecility ] did
not feel that they were vicious so
much as markedly stupid and unasham-

We do not know just what kind Of
variety show Mr., Stead witnessed, but
II is certain that his criticism Hts ex-
actly some Of the offerings IN tho

edy suggestive of lunatic asylum or
a den OF criminals. puerile songs and
Rotations, and now and then a bright,

impatient at the public that can en-
JOY such drivel while claiming to be
civilized. But he should remember
that the houses that come under his
critic have absolutely no other mis-
sion In the world than to extract coin
from the people. What do they care
for the quality Of their presen tations?

This should be dropped into the eye with a

fective plan Is to take the lower lid between
the thumb and forefinger of the left hand

formed, the fluid to be dropped in from

"A cause of headaches. which cannot be

Very high pillows place the body at such an
angle that the weight and pressure rests
upon the nerve eenters at the base or the
spine, instead of allowing the weight OF ..ie

neck and head are also strained and To-

RELIEF OF THE EYES.
It May Sometimes Be Obtained by an
Adjustment Of the Pillows.

There is one cause OF weak and in
famed eyes which Is often overlooked by
both patient and practitioner said a spe-
cialist to Star reporter, land a suggestion
in this regard may not be found out of
place.
Every often this particular trouble is pro-
duced by the patients sleeping with the
face buried In THE pillows. and several of
my stubborn cases have yielded to treat
ment when / discovered that the patient
had cultivated this very bad habit The
eye is an extremely sensitive organ, and
while 1t Is fairly well protected by nature
by being inciosed in a socket and covered
with the movable IDS, yet 1t cannot en-
dure the least bit of weight upon the eye
bal without more or less resultant trouble.
Even though the pressure be very slight,
there forms at once an invisible blood con-
sestion, which upon tie pressure being In
creased becomes acute and visible. In
sleeping on the side. with the face pressed
upon the pillow. a similar pressure Is ex-
erted upon the eye from the weight of the
head.
Persons with what are termed protrud-
Ing eyes suffer more or less from tnfiam-
nation and distended veins in the white OF
the eye, and In many cases this disfgure-
ment may be traced directly to the cause
am describing Sleeping with the eye
pressed hard upon the pillow also produces
Irritation at the outlet of the laehrymai
duct in the extreme lower corner of the
lower lid. causing the eyes to water.
I'm sleeping on the side the cheek should
so rest upon the pillow that the eye does
not touch it at all The correct angle may
be determined by raising the eye,id to OBJ
serve whether 1t grazes the pillow. A few
days relief from the pressure and a little
practice will work wonders with persons
whose eyes are constantly weak or water

most cases to his surprise-that the head

Feat in Bricklaying.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
In the erection of the House of hepre-
sentatives Office building. adjacent to the
United States Capitol at Washington. an
interesting fact has developed in connection
with the brick masonry work. The first
brick was laid at the site on the afternoon
of July 5, 1905, and on July Q. 1900. there
had been laid in the walls 100000 brick
This Is believed to be the greatest number
OF brick laid on any building in one year
In the United States, and probably in the
world. One of the causes Conducting to this
record breaking feat was the remarkably
open" winter of 1905-06 In those winter
months the work continued almost without
interruption from either snow or cola. and
not more than twelve or fifteen days were
lost during the entire winter BY reason OF
weather conditions.
