500 NATIONS: An Illustrated History of North American Indians, by Alvin M. Josephy, Jr. (Knopf: $50.00). The word “Indian,” as Columbus mistakenly called the peoples he encountered in the New World, has been replaced by the more politically correct “Native Americans.” However, that, too, is a misnomer. As award-winning historian Josephy points out in this stunning meld of text and illustration, “It is assumed that humans did not evolve there ... but arrived in the Western Hemisphere after the development of modern man.” Regardless of their origins, by the time the first European (or Egyptian or Asian) first waded ashore, North America was inhabited by peoples long indigenous to the continent, socially grouped in tribes, confederations and nations. Mr. Josephy recounts the centuries-old conflict between the two cultures with strong emphasis on the views of the peoples who were displaced by the newcomers. It is an unusual and compelling saga, one that does neither side credit ... Dr. Ron Tyler, history professor at the University of Texas, focuses his engrossing study, PRINTS OF THE WEST (Fulcrum Pub.: $39.95), on the images of the trans-Mississippi West envisaged by 19th century artists and reproduced by woodcut and lithographic artisans. These prints (from the Library of Congress) vividly illuminate the romantic images of the West that propelled gold seekers and settlers across the plains and mountains. ©1995 by King Features Synd.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN South dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♦ 3 V K 10532 ♦ QJ63 ♦ 964 WEST EAST ♦ KQIO 5 *42 VJBV Q 9 7 ♦ A872 * 10 54 ♦ 1087 ♦QJS32 SOUTH ♦AJ9B76 V A64 ♦ K 9 ♦ AK The bidding: South Weil North East 1 * Pass INT Pass 4 * Dble Opening lead — jack of hearts. Let’s say you’re West and the bidding goes as shown. Whether you should double four spades depends almost entirely on how well you know South’s game. If he is a good card player, you will do best in the long run by passing. A double would alert him to the fact that the trumps are stacked against him, and that in itself might enable him to bring home the contract by means of an endplay. But if South is not a good card player, the double would probably turn out all right. He might be the kind of player who wouldn’t know an endplay from a Wiener schnitzel, in which case he would lose three trump tricks as well as a diamond and go down one. The hand actually occurred in a masters pairs championship and quite a few Wests doubled four spades. How successful they were depended on how well South performed his task. Those declarers who appreciated the significance of the double arranged a trump endplay and made the contract. The sequence of plays varied, but in general it followed this pattern: South won the heart lead with the ace, cashed the A-K of clubs, and played the king of diamonds. West took the ace and led another heart. Declarer won with dummy’s king, ruffed a club, cashed the Q-J of diamonds, discarding a heart, and ruffed dummy’s last diamond. To this point, nine tricks had been played, and the defense had won only one of them. South’s remaining cards were the A-J-9-8 of spades, while West had the K-Q-10-5. When South next led the jack of spades, West found it impossible to win more than two trump tricks, and the contract was made. Topsy Turvy dolls have two heads, two arms, one body and no legs. The skirt reverses to cover or uncover the desired head. The idea seems to have started in 1899, when Dewitt Bouton patented a Topsy Turvy doll. In 1901, Albert Bruckner of Jersey City, N.J., and New York City patented an improved type of cloth doll head. His patent information appears on many Topsy Turvy dolls. The dolls were usually made with one white head and one black head, but other combinations were also made. Two-headed dolls could laugh or cry, or have a girl head and the head of her pet. One Topsy Turvy was Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma, another, Jack and Jill, another, Cinderella dressed in rags or in silk. One strange doll was the Goddess of Liberty and an Uncle Sam cat, complete with a meow sound. Versions of the Topsy Turvy doll are still being made. ★ ★ ★ Q. When did “butterfly” jewelry become popular? I have several pieces of silver jewelry set with a bright blue butterfly wing under apiece of glass. Dealers tell me the jewelry is made from tropical butterflies. No one seems to know the history. A. Beetles, butterflies and other insects were used in 19th-century jewelry. The blue butterfly wing pieces were at the height of their popularity in the 1920 s and ’3os. It is said that Thomas Mott displayed his jewelry at the British Empire Exhibition in 1924. That started the fad. Most of the blue wings came from

the South American morpho. The wings were sealed under glass that was set in a sterling silver or gold frame. One type had small colored pictures under the glass with the wings. Others used silvery-white sulfide figures. The popularity of the bright blue jewelry tempted others to make pseudobutterfly wing pieces using colored foil, plastic or colored bird feathers. Makers who sometimes marked their butterfly jewelry from the ’2os and ’3os were the English firms of Thomas L. Mott Ltd., Henry W. King & Son, and Owen Brothers, and H.S. & J.E. Crisson, of Bermuda. ★ ★ ★ Q. I have a 16-inch ice cream scoop that seems to be made of nickel on top of brass. It has a wooden handle and brass push lever. On the brass it says “Gilchrist’s No. 31.” A. Gilchrist is probably the bestknown maker of early ice cream scoops. Raymond Gilchrist started a hardware business in 1902 in Newark, N.J. The company made cork pullers, ice picks, lemon squeezers and other tools for soda fountains and bars. In 1908, Gilchrist patented the No. 31 squeeze handle ice cream scoop. Other scoops were made, including a left-handed model, a pyramidshaped scoop to use when serving ice cream on a plate and an oval scoop for banana splits. The company merged with others and the name remained in use for part of the 19305. Your scoop is worth about SSO. ★ * * “Kovels’ Antiques and Collectibles Price List” Your antiques are worth money.

OVERVIEW ON EYE SAFETY: A study reported in the “Archives of Ophthalmology” last June noted that even with the best cleaning and care, contact lenses worn overnight can increase the risk of developing serious eye problems including ulcerative keratitis, which is an inflammation of the outer protective layer of the eye. In another study, it was found that problems with contact lenses are often related to the use of cosmetics The American Academy of Ophthalmology offers some advice to help prevent some of the more common problems that could arise: 1. Use hair spray, mousse, and other aerosol products BEFORE inserting lenses. Many of these products can cause permanent damage to the contact lens surface. 2. Insert lenses before applying cosmetics. 3. Before inserting or removing lenses, be sure to wash your hands with a mild soap, such as Neutrogena, Ivory, or a clear glycerine soap. Soaps that contain cream, deodorants, or heavy fragrances should be avoided if you plan to handle lenses immediately after washing. 4. Avoid frosted or iridescent eyeshadows which may contain ingredients that can be harmful to the eyes, especially if a particle is caught under a contact lens (where it can’t be washed out by blinking). 5. If you use eyeshadow, use the pressed powder variety. The oily liquid or cream shadows are hard to remove from lenses. 6. When applying eyeshadow to the upper lid, you can help keep the makeup out of the eye by tilting your chin up slightly while looking down. 7. Avoid mascaras called “lashbuilding” or “guaranteed waterproof." Many use nylon and rayon fibers that can dry and flake onto or under the lens, and could scratch the cornea. 8. Avoid off-brands. The larger, more well-known cosmetic companies usually test new products thoroughly for safety. Also, look for

Q. I am interested in knowing about metallic mercury, how it is useful to doctors, but also how it can poison the system. A. Mercury can enter the human body by being inhaled, ingested, and absorbed through the skin. It has a time-honored place in the treatment of disease, with some of the early diuretics and skin creams containing mercury as an active agent. Dentists may also use mercury in some of their procedures. In general, though, mercury is used less often today than it used to be in medicine, and at the same time, it’s becoming better known as an environmental hazard. I should first point out that we all have some mercury in our bodies and that the amount received in the normal diet is not known to be harmful. But there are times when mercury ingestion can be poisonous. There are acute and chronic forms of mercury poisoning. The acutely poisoned usually have eaten a mercury preparation or inhaled its vapors. Pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and even shock can follow. Fortunately, acute mercury poisoning is a rather rare event. But, people can become chronically mercury-poisoned, sometimes from an environmental mishap. Mercury in industrial waste waters has occasionally contaminated fish. Mercurial fungicides in wheat seed have accidentally cropped up in both human and animal meals. Symptoms of chronic mercury poisoning can include mouth erosions, visual problems, kidney damage and nervous system changes, ranging from emotional instability to paralysis and coma. Chronic mercury poisoning isn’t exactly an everyday diagnosis, but is a reminder that this heavy metal can be both a formidable ally and a heavy burden. ©1995 by King Features Synd. PICTURE-FRAME HANGER — I found something I would like to share with your readers. It’s for hanging up wood frames. I wanted to hang up a spice rack and it didn’t have a bracket on it to hold it on a nail, so I made one using the tab off a soda-pop can. After removing the tab, I nailed it (large opening up) to the back top portion of the spice rack. I used a short nail with a large head so it would hold the tab on but not go through the width of the frame. When I hung the spice rack, I placed the large opening onto the nail in the wall. Karen R., Dawsonville, Ga. PANTYHOSE CONTAINER — I cut my pantyhose cartons in half and store the pantyhose in the upper half so I will know what shade they are. To know what carton to return them to after use, I color code them by sewing a few stitches with colored thread to the waistband at the back. A large shoebox is ideal for stacking them and it fits into most drawers. Renee 8., Wauwatosa, Wis. TURNING UPSIDE DOWN — When you save an empty carton, store it upside down and you’ll know it contains nothing. Do the same with a stack of library books. When one has been read, turn it upside down. Wanda C., Trenton, N.J. Any fool can answer when he is asked for advice, but only a great man can ask. —Galiani CARBONLESS FORMS To Fil!
