Sick Headache.

Almost every one Inns different
remedy for this most common but mono
the less distressing complaint. And the
truth is, that very few Of them have any
effect at all, while some Of them only
aggrayate the case. The bestand safest
way for the sufferer is to let himself
alone till the gastric or nervous de-
rangements which hayeproduced ithaye
subsided, when sleep generally comes
TO the aid OF exhausted nature, and per-
fects the cure. The British Medical
Journal, in treating Of this subject, says
the only remedies which nre Of any avail
arc those which net on the nervous sys-
ten, such rs hot tea and coffee, or, alter
the most violent symptoms have passed
of, little wine or ammonia. The
bromide or potassium iS also highly
recommended after tho nausea subsidies.
While this exists, II Is OF no avail. The
writer also thinks that ten and coilee
used in oxccss constantly, although they
may relieve headache, may also pro-
dispose to tho difficulty and he cites
instances Of several patients, who, by
giving up the use Of those bevttagcS,
became cured Of chronic or frequent
headaches"

Following the Flag.

A aag is but yard or two OF bunting
when it is looked at rs q matter OF fact,
but the men who have been willing to
die for it all these hundreds OF years
have seen in it something more than
coarse cloth, certainly. A popular
English lecturer, not many years ago,
told some anecdotes strongly illustra-
tive Of the universal prevalence Of this
poetic feeling among the plaineSt Of
people. We can only repeat two OF
them from memory. An English regi-
ment in India had had its colors (noth-
ing but square yard OF bunting, Of
course) taken away from 1t for some
act Of insubordination. Every man had
his rations and pay as usual, and no
physical punishment OF any sort was
added to the ideal one mentioned. Yet
every man in that regiment groaned
and suffered under the chastisement.
Coarse, illiterate, brutal fellows, per-
'haps, they were. Why should any of
them mind the taking away Of a regi.
mental flag? Common.sense would
laugh at such n punishment for such
men. But tho commander knew what
he was about. A fort was to be storm
ed at the top Of q long hill. Tho enter.
prise was q peculiarly perilous one, and
one that required something moro than
ordinary courage and ordinary persist
ence. Tho commanding officer rode
down the line to tho position occupied
by the disgraced regiment. Men !"
ho cried, "your colors arc at the top OF
the hill-charge |" And charge they
did, that single regiment, up tho long,
non.swept hill, through tho abattis,
over the ramparts, into tho fort at last,
q nero handful OF them left to receive
the flag again, for which moro than two
thirds OF the brave follows had Gladly
given their lives There was no com
nonsense in the matter, clso the fort
never could have been taken at all.
Tho poetry in the souls Of those rough
soldiers overborc all that, and who
shall say that tho poetic was not tho
worthicr and moro manly view
Some OF tho warlikc tribes in India,
when ono Of their men falls in battle
after showing extraordinary courage,
decorate his wrists with q red silk
thread II he bc q private, narrow rib
bon II he be m officer, and n broader
one as the rank OF the dead rises. Not
many win this posthumous honor at
all, phd there is no mourning for those
whose death is thus repaid. An Eng
lish army marching upon Lucknow
came upon strong hill-fort which 1t
was necessary to reduce. A sergeant
and seven men constituted the advance
guard on the march, and when the close
proximity Of the fort was discovered,
the buglers with the main body sounded
tho recall rs IN order for tho sergeant
to withdraw his guard and Join hisregi-
ment. The little squad mistook the
bugle sound, and thought it was m
order to charge. obeying it rs such,
they went to their certain death on tho
ramparts of the fort. The armycoming
up stormed the place, and after some
hours Of desperate fighting they took
It. Thcy found there the dead bodies
of the sergeant and all his men, and
around each ,grist tVas the broad red
ribbon, o poetic tribute from the Sepoys
to the heroism OF their dead enemies.

There is n habit peculiar to many
walkers, Which Punch, some years ago,
touched upon satirically, but which
seems to have survived the iester's
ridicule. lis that custom Of stopping
friends in the street, to whom We have
nothing whatever TO communicate, but
whom we embarrass for no other pur-
pose than simply TO show our friend
ship. Jones meets his friend Smith,
whom he Inns met on nearly the same
locality but a few hours before. During
that interval, 1t is highly probable that
no event Of any importance TO Smith,
nor indeed to Jones, which by n friend.
ly construction Jones could imagine
Smith to DO interested in, has occurred,
or is likely TO occur. Yet both gentle
mon stop and shake hands earnestly.
{" Well how goes it2" remarks Smith,
with q vague hope that something may
have happened. $50, So" How
are you knocking them ?" replies the
eloquent Jones, feeling intuitively the
deep vacuity Of his friend answering to
his own.
A pause ensues, inwhich both gentle
men regard each other with an imbecile
smile aud fervent pressure Of the
hand. Smith draws long breath and
looks up the street; Jones sighs heavi-
ly and gazos down the street. Another
pause, in which both gentlemen olsen
gage their respective hands and glance
anxiously around for some conventional
avenue Of escape. Finally, Smith
with n sudden assumption OF having
forgotten an important engagement
calculates, "Well, I must be off"-a
remark instantly echoed by the voluble
Jones, and these gentlemen separate,
