Headache Relief.

The editor of a medical journal claims
that he has used certain treatment
for headache for year or so with re-
markable success. 1t is a solution of
the bisulphide of carbon, two or three
drains of which are poured on sponge
placed in wide mouthed, glass-stop-
pered bottle. When occasion for its use
occurs, the mouth of the bottle is to
be applied to the temple, or as near as
possible to the seat of pain, so closely
that none of the volatile vapor may es-
cape, and retained there four or five
minutes or longer. Itmay be reapplied
several times during the day, ard it
generally acts like magic, giving imme-
diate relief. Nervous headaches are
the ones to which it is especially
adapted. Neuralgia, periodic and
hysterical headaches and even many
kinds of dyspeptic headaches are al
most invariably relieved by it. But it
must be understood that the remedy is
for the symptoms and not the cause,
the theory being that the vapor being
absorbed through the skin produces a
sedative effect upon the superficial
nerves of the parts to which it is APP
plied.-Good housekeeping.

her quietly and stole thin little arm
round her mothers neck. "Don't cry,
mother" she whispered, I" don't cry. +"
The woman made an effort to check
her tears, and she wiped her eyes. AS
soon as she could speak with any de-
gree Of calmness, she continued:
Poor little Tommy cried all day; l
couldn't comfort him. He said it
wasn't any use trying to do anything.
Folks would only laugh at him for being
a drunkard's little boy. tried to COM
fort him before my husband came

mad if he saw him crying. But it

stop. His father came and saw him.
He wouldn't have done it if he hadn't
been drinking. He amt bad man when
he is sober. | hate to tell it, but he
whipped Tommy, and the child fell and
struck his head. | suppose he'd "a
been sick, any way But O, my poor
little boy! NY sick, suffering childr'
she cried. How can they let me sell
a thing that makes the innocent suf-
fer so?'
A little voice spoke from the bed.
One of the ladies went to him. There
he lay, poor, little, defenseless victim.
He lived in a Christian land, in coun-
try that takes great care to pass laws
to protect sheep, and diligently legis-
lates over its game. Would that the
children were as precious as brutes and
birds.
His face was flushed, and the hol-
lowed eyes were bright. There was
long, purple mark on his temple. He
put up one little wasted hand to cover
it, while he said, " Father wouldn't
have done it if he hadn't been drinking"
Then, in his queer, piping voice, weak
with sickness, he half whispered, "I'm
glad Pm going to die. Pm too weak
ever to help mother, anyhow. Up in
heaven the angels amt goin to call me
drunkard's child, and make fun of
my clothes. And maybe if I'm right
there where God is, can keep remind
ing him of mother, and he'll make it
easier for her."
He turned his head feebly on his pill
low, and then said, in a lower tone,
"Some day-they amt going-to let
the saloons-keep open. But I'm
afraid-pOor fathcr-will be dead-be-
fore then" Then he shut his eyes
| from WEAKNESS.
The next morning the sun shone in
on the dead face of little Tommy.

What to Eat.

A physician, writing on the food
necessary to give strength and susie
nance, says that if person uses up his
brain faster than he makes it, he soon
becomes nervous and irritable. If he
does not assimilate enough food to sup
ply its demands his mind is sure to be-
come weak. The healthiest and strong
est individuals, even, should eat far
greater proportion of meat than of
vegetable food Beef should be taken
as the standard meat. 1t answers every
purpose of the system. Veal and pork
are not so easily digested. Pork, so
far as its composition goes, is an excel
lent food for nervous persons, but it is
not readily digested. Yet, in the army,
we used to think nothing better for the
wounded men than bacon. AS a rule,
salt meat is not adapted to the require
ments of the nervous individual, as nu-
tritious juices to great extent 60 into
the brine. The flesh of the wild birds
is more tender and more readily di-
gested than that of domestic ones.
This is accounted for by the greater
amount of exercise they take, thereby
renewing their flesh more rapidly and
making it younger than the birds which
lead more quiet life. This is sug-
gestlon that might be of benefit to
women of sedentary habits, who are de-
sirous of prolonging an appearance of
youth. Fish of all kinds is good food
for the nervously inclined. Raw eggs,
contrary to the general opinion, are not
as digestible as those that have been
cooked. A notion has been prevalent
that many persons injure their diges-
ton by eating too much. The fact is
that most people don't eat enough
There are more people killed every
year by insutliciency of nourishment
than by overlooking their stomachs.
Many of those who do eat suf-
ficient quantity are prevented by
disease from digesting enough for the
economy of their systems. The very
first thing for any one to do who has
exhausted himself by mental work, or
who has been born weak and irritable,
is to furnish his brain with sufficient
nourishment either to repair the damage
it has sustained, or to build it into a
strong, healthy condition. People in
this condition usually suffer from ner-
vous dyspepsia. Their stomachs are
unable to perform the labor Of assimi-
lation. Owing to the deficient nerve
power of the individual, the food lies in
the stomach Enacted upon by the gastric
juice, because there is none, or the
quantity is insufficient to have any
power Food, instead of helping 10
renew the body, and the nervous sys-
tenn with the rest, undergoes fermenta-
ton, and the body and brain it should
nourish may starve. The person is in
worse state than if the food had not
been taken, for the fermentation gen
crates acids aud gas. Nervous individ-
uals may derive all the fat they need
from sugar and starch. 1t is better
however, for those with weak digestive
organs, or whose nerves are in II highly
sensitive state, to get it from the ami
NAL kingdom than compel their in'
testines and pancreas TO create it out OF

The True Home Life.

What is the central point of the true
home life? Is not this the question
which we should each, as home-builders,
ask ourselves? What are the things of
all that we do, daily, weekly, or return
ing in their appointed time, which are
not only not necessary, but are harm
full to the true home life? 1t may be
that the only reason for doing certain
things is because the preceding gene
ration has done the same things, and
that, too, in very mechanical ways. "A
mother holds her first child while it
sleeps upon her lap; it becomes accus-
toned to it. When she grows stronger
she must lay it down to do necessary
work. 1t frets and cries and refuses to
take its maps. The mother is worn out
in her efforts to do the work and quiet
the cries, so she carries the child about
in her arms. 1t is slow to walk. She
becomes nervous and irritable, toward
her baby, even. Her second child
is cross and restless. She bears and
rears several children. All through these
years the mistake pursues and wears
her out. The children are not taught
TO depend upon themselves and be
tial things and leaves the essential
undone. Her mental growth stopped
long ago. Alas for the time when the
little children find that mother can not
help them in their studies, and alas for
the mother who has let the knowledge
of her girlhood slip from her, and has
not added to it both for herself and
family What is more beautiful to see
than great sons and daughters asking
mothers opinion of some point which
they are in doubt about, and which they
bring to her to have settled before they
return to school? To have them hasten
eagerly to tell her upon their return
that their work was right? Sometimes
it is through suffering only that a
woman learns that there are many
things which need not to be done. 1t
is often in these times of forced quiet
that she sees most clearly that real liv-
ing is not a part of her home life. after
her experience is gained and she has
but little strength, she can then think
what she should do with the strength
which still is left her. Temporal wants
and pleasures must be considered, and
indeed planned for, but there are many
things done in the way of cooking food
unwholesome through its richness,
which should be rarely if at all. Sac
rifces which take away rest and sleep
to keep up pride in dress or some adorn-
ment should never be made. Let
children be taught that they may have
fussy clothes when they can make, iron
and keep them in order. In home
where the work is done by the mother
and daughters, this plan is pursued.
She found that when her daughters
were old enough to iron much-ruflled
white dresses they preferred plain ones.
Nothing can take the place of neatness
and order. These depend much upon
good management, for one can always
be cleaning, yet never clean, always
arranging, yet never in order. Some
times ones own spirit is restless, which
is the secret cause of the lack in the
divine part of true home life,-P. a.

Cottage Homes.

With small houses, all attempts at
decoration should be confined to usefal
articles, as large rooms are imperative
if one desires to produce groups and
effects by the use of bric-a-brac. First
of all, choose good lasting colors for
wall surface; let the floor treatment
follow the same scale of color but in
deeper tone; choose all furniture with
view to comfort and durability; chairs
of bent wood, rattan or plain wood,
can be chosen of good form, and then
frightened by cushions of chintz, silk
or plush. Any article which is thor
oughly comfortable will look pretty if
it can be placed with other comfortable
articles. Home-keeper and not house
keeper is the desirable point to gain.
Do not shut out the sunshine; that is
not necessary, for our American home
decorations are better suited to bright
lights than foreign goods of dull tone,
which are made in places where the
sun is not allowed to penetrate. If the
interior finish is of wood in natural
color, pretty ornamentation can be Sc
cured for doors by using the upper
panels for designs in birds and flowers,

find it hard to sell the pretty trifles
they delight to paint could be profitably
employed in work of this kind. A
pretty design for the dining-room would
be found in lunches of German millet,
arranged to start up in a natural form
from the casing or base or panel; ears
of corn with the husks turned back,
branches from the apple, cherry or
plum tree, bearing fruit or flowers; hop
vines, grape or gourd, would be pictur-
esque and odd. For other rooms, the
graceful wisteria dropping in wealth
of bloom, just supported by a stem with
leaves, tangle of morning-glory vines
with flowers peeping out from the leafy
screen, tropical plants, a bit of gray
moss, cotton-balls, ferns, mountain
climbers, and an endless variety of such
designs. The effect is fine, the work
not hard, and the results admirable.
For holding draperies back from the
window, very odd fancy has been re-
vived of small round knobs of porce-
lain, bordered by plain narrow rim of
brass. The porcelain bears upon its
surface ideal heads, painted in warm,
soft coloring. These antique fancies
are being revived and add greatly to
the effect where short draperies are
used, either for the window, or for
study shelves, for a homemade side
board, or any place where curtains
must be drawn aside at times. Table
covers for all rooms should be neutral
in color.-American Art Magazine.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the eusta-

society, who has great aversion to public
use Of her name, II gifted with an amount of
heroism, plucky and calculating courage quite
beyond that of most men. At two different
times last summer she had occasion to exer
else this trait of her character. She was
visiting in Wheeling, w. Va, when the first
occurred
A little child, not more than three years
old, was playing in narrow aleyway, and
was seated upon the stone pavement Turn
ing suddenly from the street came Urge,
heavy truck, to which were ATTACHED large
Norman horses. The driver did not see the
child untI too late, when, suddenly pulling
up the horses, he struck the great iron gate
that stood open at the alley entrance. The
gate, torn from its hinges, tottering, fell to-
ward the helpless child, now threatened with
danger.
This little Plainf1eld woman was passing
at the time In horror she saw the child's
danger from the now plunging horses and
falling gate. Quicker than 1t takes to read
it she sprang from the sidewalk to where the
child, affrighted, sat, and, grasping it,
dragged it away just as the sharp iron pick
cts caught her own skirt, tearing it, but
tremble, either, but simply pinned up her
skirt and hastened home, more concerned at
her disheveled appearance than at anything
else
A little later in the season, while on a
short visit to New Jersey seaside resort, a
cry Of fire was raised in the hotel where she
was staying. 1t was in the afternoon, and
this little Plainfeld lady was taking nap.
The fire alarm awakened her, and going TO
the hall she found it filed with smoke. She
heard the wailing CRY Of child's voice COM
ing from room near by. With not a
thought of danger she groped her way along
the floor where the smoke was least suffocat-
ing, and made her way into the room whence
came the child's voice. 1t was here that the
fire was and the little one had fallen upon
the floor In It's efforts to grope out Of reach
Of harm. Half smothered she rescued the
child The fire was soon put out but the
little lady took chances just the same as
though the danger had been more pressing
and greater. York Press.
