Why People Have Headache.

Probably one Of the most common
headaches, II not the most common,
is that called nervous. The class Of
people who are most subject to it are
certainly not your outdoor workers.
What are the symptoms Of this
complaint that makes your head ache
so? You will always know it is COM
ing from a dull. perhaps sleepy, feeling.
You have no heart and little hope, and
you are restless all night. Still more
restless, though, when it comes on in
tuIl force, and then for nights perhaps,
however, much you may wish it,
scarcely can you sleep at all.
How my head does ache!' TINS
you will saw often enough; sadly to
Yourself and hOpelessly to those near
you, from whom you expect no sy M
0athy, and get none. And yet the
pain is hard to bea-. although It IS
generally confined to only one part Of
the head.
The worst of this form OF headache
lies IN the fact that it Is periodic.
Well rs 1t arises from unnatural hab-
its OF life or pecuIiaritles OF cOnstitu-
ton. this periOdicIUy Is no more than
we might expect.
III Just note down some of the most
ordinary causes Of nervous headache,

Overwork indoors.
Overstudy.
Work or study indoors, carried on
Ia an unnatural or cramped position
OF body. Literary men and women
ought to do most OF their work at q
standing desk, lying down now and
then TO ease brain and heart and per-
NIT ideas to flow. Thev should work

Pouring out Tea.

There is more to be learned, says
Good Housekeeping. about pouring
tea and coffee than most people aEs
willing to believe. If those decOctious
are made at the table. which is by far
the best way, they require experience,
judgment and exactness; If they are
brought to the table ready-made, it
still requires judgment to apportion
them that they shall prove sufficient
IN quantity for the family, and that
the elder member shall have the
stronger cup. Often persons pour out
tea who, not being at all aware that
the first is the weakest, and that the
tea grows stronger as you proceed.
oestoW the poorest cup upon the
greatest stranger, and give the strong
est TO very young member of the
lamliys who would be better without
any. Where several cups of equal
strength are wanted you should pour
a Httleinto each, and then go back, in
Vertlng the order as you fill them, and
the strength will be apportioned
properly. This is so well Understood
IN England that an experienced pour
or OF tea waits till all the cups of the
company are returned to her before
she fills any the second time, and all
may share alike.

VIneeIn the Room.

Few running plants are prettier for
house decoration than those COM
monty known under the general name
Of ivy. The German ivy (Senecio
scandens) is a rapid grower, but will
not bear the cold as we'll as the Eng
ish ivy, which is the only real ivy OF
the plants I am now noticing. The
English ivy if well treated, will last
for many years. A friend OF NINE has
one about fifteen years old, the largest
one ever saw. She keeps it on the
piazza in summer, in the fall it is re-
moved to the cellar. The ivy is wound
around to tall stakes. which are
thrust into the soil in the keg which
contains the plant. Water is given
occasionally during the winter. If
one has an English ivy which seems
to be dying, and It's leaves WIther and
fade, they must not be picked of, but
must be left to drop off. If the leaves
are picked of wnen they show signs Of
decay. the tiny leaf bud at the stem,
so small as to be unnOticed, will be
liable to be killed; but II lett alone, a
new leaf or shoot will come out of each
one. The coliseum ivy (inaria Gym
balarla) Is beautiful when growing in
hanging pot at q window. It is cas-
lily raised from seed or cuttings. The
ivy geraniums are very desirable for
house plants, both on account of their
leaves and their flowers.

Menin Petticoats.
From the ENQUIRE.

From the Enquire.
Men wore pettIcoats before women
usurped this prerogative. When
Henry VIII went to see Anne of
Cloves he was habited, we read, Sin a.
coat Of velvet somewhat made like q
frOck, embroidered all over with
hattened gold of damaske, with small
lace mixed between. of the same gold,
and other laces of the same going
traversewise, that the ground little
appeared" and in q description of q
similar garment belonging to his
father, Henry VII, we read Gifts being
decorated with bows of ribbon, quite
as belle of the present day would
adOrn her ball dress. 1t is we'll known
that the garment was at first not
alone skirt, but as the name denotes,
a little coat. How it came to lose
it's upper half or body we do not
know, unless the "pet ticoat" WAS
made with long skirts for the sake of
warmth, and in each case it was as
much petticOat, as we understand 1t,
as anything else. Easily enough
petticOats, as the possession of man,
are traced through the ages. In the
inventory of Henry V. appears ga
petticOat Of red damaske, with open
sleeves, and although it was q
question whether this had been fash
Toned for q man or for woman, it
would il a wOman's. be the only
instance Bnown before Ehzabeth's
time Of a woman using such garment.
Thus we hear nothing OF wOmau's
petticOats before the Tudor periods.
Good Queen Bess, 4" with all her
earning which was essen italy mas
culine In her age and time, had the
true instinct OF wOmanliness as regards
personal adOrnment, and women have
to thank her for their stockings and
petticOats, and many other luxuries
which have become necessities, and
which they now appropriate with as
true belief in their sole posse ssiOn
as though the legacy had fallen 20 them

High or Low Ceilings.

From Harper's Bazaar.
While it was thought, not very long
ago, to be the height Of elegance IN
building to have ceilings Of the Hottest
that could be allowed, the new fash
ions in building, with which low cell
ings are more harmonious, have
awakened a question as to the value
Of the lofty compared with the low
ceiling. The lofty ceiling allows only
the lower portion of the air in room
to be changed, no fresh air entering
higher than the tops OF the windows,
which are far below the ceiling, the
upper air remaining charged and load
ed with fOulness, eventually to descend
and poison the air beneath. But the
low ceiling, on the contrary, not only
makes greater economy oftuel in heat
ing the air more quickly, but gives q
thorough circulation and movement
in the whole body of air, and so ip-
sures 8 complete and healthy ventila-
tion.

How to Wash Pocket Handker-
chiefs.

Soak them over night in hot water.
Wash them in a hot soap Iather or in
the inexpensive prepared borax and
water, then rinse in cold water, into
which the cochineal bag has been
slightly squeezed. If possible, dry the
pocket handkerchiefs on a horse be-
fore the fire; if not, shake them out
we'll and roll them very tightly IN a
cloth Hold the two parallel corners
IN each hand and stretch them gently
II to shape; iOld the handkerchiefs in
half, right side out, taking care that
the sides correspond exactly. Sprinkle
the handkerchiets with water, and
roll them tightly in a cloth. They
should be left thus for some hours. 1
they are to be irOned the next day,
the cloth should also be dampened.
In ironing use fat or box iron 1.-THE
latter Is always preferabie1. First
iron the mark and the border on the
wrong side, then the whole of the
handkerchief on the right side, folding
and ironing a. you 90 on. Y cry fine
handkerchiefs should always be iron
ed through a cloth. Silk handker-
chiefs must be washed in lukeWarm
water and rinsed two or three times
in clear cold water without blue.
Wiring them out, fold and roll them
tightly IN cloth. but do not let them
get dry before ironing or they viii
never look smooth.

IN ROLLING SENTENCES,
Non-Partisan Republicans Hear Non
Partisan Talk
ON CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Gen. Andrews Gives Some PLEASING
Plattudes in a Republican
Sanctum.

The well appointed and luxuriantly
furnished assembly room of the Union
League club last evening contained a
gathering of about fifty we'll dressed
gentlemen, who had come together to
hear the address of Gen. G. G. Andrews
OF st. Paul, upon civil service reform.
The meeting was one of those strictly
"nbn-partisan" affairs at which only
earnest and thoughtful Republicans are
present, and there were no Democrats
visible. Gen. Andrews read his paper
in very deliberate and dignified way.
1t amounted simply Ito homily in
which the doctrine of reform
was laid down in a style
strikingly similar to the average essay
list who reads at the monthly meetings
OF the Academy of Natural Science. He
said that the spirit of civil service law
has not been applied, although it is
within the presidents discretion TO do
so. Civil service reform implies that no
political party shall have all the Offices.
and when the time arrives that there
shall be an equilibrium, ana both par
ties are fairly represented in the civil
service, then will be a fit opportunity to
adopt rule of permanency of tenure.
Jefferson, when he was elected presi-
dent, made no changes further than to
give both parties fair representation,
and said the qualifications of candi-
date for Office should be: SIS he honest,
is he capable, is he faithful to the con-
StitutiOn."
The speaker then went on to say that
party sympathy is not an essential quail
itication for the proper discharge of a
public Office. What has a collector of
customs to do with party politics at
home?
Sympathy for an administration is not
qualification for Indian agent or the
register of land office, a.steambOat in
| spector or pension agent. Public opin-
ion is now against Office-holders mixing
in party politics, and it is for the inter
est of the government that every civil
officer should enjoy public confidence,
which he cannot do if he is partisan
wire-puller.
The general here dwelt at some length
upon the economical benefits of reform
to be derived. Permanent tenure of Of
flee. the hope of promotion being his
chief arguments.
When he concluded Willyum Hennery
EuStiS wanted to know why any refer
ence to civil service reform had been
| omitted from the Democratic platform,
and Gen. Andrews replied that he did
not care to answer the inquiry as the
meeting was strictly non partisan.
w. ID. WashburD was called upon for
remarks and responded by saying that
civil service had been injured by Cleve-
land and the mugwumps who elected
him. This 'nOn-partisan" allusion ere
ated the only enthusiasm of the
evening. At the close Pres
ident StrattOn said something
about the railroad accommodations for
the trip to the Chicago convention. This
was of course ''strictly non-partisan,"
but the public is hardly interested to
learn concerning which road the dele
gates will go on and what they will have
with them by the way of spiritual con-
ISOLATION,
