Shoppers Headache.

Many ladics after an afternoon spent
in shopping return homo with O dull
headache, which does not completely
leave them until after nights sleep.
This is called shoppers headache, and
is becoming moro prevalent. There
are q number of causes which produce
this condition Pad ventilation Of
stores, which are crowded with people
and goods, producing q foul condition
of tho air, is n prolific cause. Foul
air fingers about and clings to dry
goods especially, and the practice of
hcaping remnants and other goods
upon long tables accessible TO the
crowds and constantly handled
by them, is not conducive to
health. Tho strain Of looking
for hours ut different coors, often
bright, and tho effort to decide which
among tho many articles should be
selected, produce n congestion Of the
brain tissue, which causes shoppers
headache. Long continued observa-
ton ncccssitatcs an effort of tho mind,
which, although perhaps not apprcci-
able at tho time, is q cause Of tho dis
ease. Fatigue has a great deal to do
with it, fatigue of muscle us well as
brain. Hours of languid locomoticn
and upright position, varied and fire.
quent movements of the head, restless
ness of tho eyes all produce it. The
muscular strain involved in half a
days shopping is considerable, cs-
pccially whoro ladies are not in the
habit of using their muscles very much
Mt other times. Fatigue of mind and
body is the cause Of the shoppers head

NEGROES IN MExICo.-City of Mexico,
Nov. G.-Ellis, the Texas negro who pro-
poses to oolonize American negroes in
Mexico, is still in this city striving to
secure concession from the government
in the interest of the proposed colony.
1t is asseIted that Gen. Pacbeco, Minis
ter Of Public Works, is greatly in
terestcd in Eiliss plaus and is heartily in
favor of granting the concession. Other
members of the government are also said to
favor it, so there seems to DO lille doubt that
the concession will be given and the colony
established.
The scheme, however, will meet with
strong opposition OF the rnrt Of the Mexican
people, and negro cclonists are not likely
10 receive an encouraging welcome. The
feeling is genera! that in the Indian peou
class Mexico has as large an element Of
different race as il can find room tor.
