and lay as if dead The bear sniffed
him over from head to foot and then

A TALK ON DYSPEPSIA
Disease of Civilization Its Symp
toms How to Cure It
iDyspepsia is said to be a disease of
ivilization Savages know nothing
about It The disease has become do
mesticated in America and we as a
eople have threatened to monopolize
Few disorders inflict upon their
ttims greater suffering yet
Js not particularly dangerous and
bm causes death It permits the
jrer to linger in misery for the al-
Id term of life
ie complaint usually begins with a
je of fullness tightness and weight
the stomach after meals and a
linished or lost appetite Flatulency
anBlsour stomacn are aiso common auu
therelfete often nervousness vomiting
and gNHf al distress Dizziness is also
a proBRCcnt symptom and an all
gongJfeeling in the stomach Some
ti mks the patient has a bad taste in the
nrouth headache heartburn and palpi
tation
Dyspepsia is the result of disturbed
or interrupted functions of the stom
ach and digestive organs The cure
consists in restoring these functions
If the stomach is too weak to digest
food it must be strengthened This
must be done through the blood which
is the medium that carries strength and
nourishment to all the organs Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
rurifier and it cures dyspepsia b pur
ifying and enriching the blood com
bined with its direct action upon the
Rtomach and its secretions Perhaps
no way has Hoods Sarsaparilla re-
reied greater suffering than in its cures
of dyspepsia which are indeed legion
If you are suffering from this disease
give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial at
once It will tone and strengthen your
stomach give you an appetite and
strength and relieve the pains and mis
eries of dyspepsia
Camphor Giun a Weather Prcmhet
A piece of camphor gum is a very
good indicator of what the weather is
to be If when the camphor is ex
posed to the air the gum remains dry
the weather will be fresh and dry out
if the gum absorbs the moisture and
seems damp it is an indication of rain

MAKING ARTIFICIAL EARS
Those Who Need the Luxuries Arc
Compelled to Pay Well for Them
If there is any one branch of scien
tific manufacturing that would seem to
have reached perfection within the last
decade it is the making of artificial
ears Such perfect reproductions are
turned out nowadays that they cannot
be distinguished even upon a fairly
close inspection from the natural ear
Made of a specially prepared rubber
flesh colored in the rough they are
painted by hand in esact imitation of
the remaining ear of the unfortunate
customer and as carefully touched
and marked over as an artists picture
This is necessary for an artificial oar
must be perfect to be acceptable and
such careful work pays the maker for
he gets 100 apiece for them
In a certain workshop the other day
where much scientific work is done
there was shown to a Tribune repre
sentative a little box some seven or
eight inches long less than two inches
broad and liardlj half an inch high
Theres 500 worth of goods in that
box said the foreman as he lifted off
the cover displaying five rubber ears
lying in cotton These are for four
different men and one woman you see
that little ear there and all they need
now is for the artist to call for them
and touch em up according to slips
well give him telling just how the col
oring should go on We studied our
customers carefully when we took the
orders
A hundred dollars seems a big price
doesnt it to pay for a little thing like
one of those ears thats so flexible you
can crumple it up in your hand easiy
But people that have never made arti
ficial ears have no idea of the work
that is on them There Is no guessing
about making them You hive 10 be as
exact as if you were carving out a
statue In the first place when a man
comes here to get an ear to replace one
hes lost we take a mold of he ear that
is left and if there is any inrt of the
other we must get a mold of that too
so as to be able to fit on the nt v ear
There are no two ears ccicrly tlc same
and it takes our most skJled workmen
to get an ear from this mold Or pair of
molds that is lifelike anc1 appears to
have the color of iiesh
When finished the neAV ear is pasted
on the old stump or simply set precise
ly where the old ear was and not one
man in 1000 can tell the difference It
is really only the first ear that is ex
pensive What costs is to make the
mold If a man has his mold with us
we will give him duplicate ears for
about 20 each There is one customer
on our books hailing from Chicago who
buys five ears a year from us on an
average I dont know what he does
with them all but he seems to want
them
The demand take it altogether is
limited and I dont suppose we ever
turn out more than twenty new ears a
year We have only been making them
up in our present standard a couple of
years by the way
This vulcanized rubber that can be
bent and twisted experience has taught
us is the best material to use We have
experimented with nearly everything
Last summer we tried aluminum think
ing that it would be lighter but do our
best the ear turned out far heavier
and besides the metil would not lend
Itself nearly as well as rubber to the
imitating of flesh tints
How do people lose their ears In
two ways chiefly in railroad accidents
or by getting caught in machinery The
former is by far the more common

The Dealness or Whits Cats
Though I had often heard of I
never was fully satisfied that all white
cats are naturally deaf until recently
said a scientific gentleman who de
votes considerable of his time to experi
menting with the lower order of ani
mals I was aware that Trof Bell
in his original experiments in connec
tion with the telephone had ascertained
and stated that his experience with
white cats was that thej were all either
deaf or very deficient in hearing and
that other experimenters in the same
direction had reached similar conclu
sions To satisfy myself I recently se
cured in all twenty three white cats
and experimented on them one at a
rime
In every case I found them stone
deaf In carrying the experiment fur
ther I found that white dogs and white
horses are deficient in hearing and that
many of them are entirely deaf So are
white rats and white mice I am confi
dent I do not overstate it in regard to
white cats though I have only person
ally experimented with twenty three
and of course can only speak posi
tively in regard to them I dont haz
ard much however when I make the
bold statement that all white cats are
deaf Washington Star
