shoppers' Headache.

& Many ladies after an afternoon spent
in shopping return homo with q dull
headache, which does not completely
leave them until after a nights sleep.
This Is called shoppers headache, and
is becoming moro prevalent. There
are number of causes which produce
this condition. Bad ventilation of
stores, which are crowded with people
and goods, producing n foul condition
Of the air, is q prolific cause. Foul
air fingers about and clings to dry
goods especially, and the practice Of
heaping remnants and other goods
upon long tables accessible to the
crowds and constantly handled
by them, is not conducive to
health. The strain of looking
for hours ut different colors, often
bright, and the effort to decide which
among tho many articles should be
selected, produce a congestion Of the
brain tissue, which causes shoppers
headache. Long continued observa-
ton necessitates an effort of the mind,
which, although perhaps not appreci-
able at the time, is cause OF the dis
ease. Fatigue has a great deal to do
with 1t, fatigue of muscle as we'll as
brain. Hours of languid locomotion
and upright position, varied and fire.
quent movements of the head, restless
ness Of tho eyes oil produce it. The
muscular strain involved in half a
days shopping is considerable, cs-
pecially whero ladies are not in the
habitof using their muscles very much
at other times. Fatigue of mind and

soo,1 the STRANGER does the Taking In.


Mr.. John Hull, resident of Wash
ington county, Md, recently returned
from Kansas, and he will never for
get his experience enroute. Shortly
after leaving Chicago, he made the
acquaintance of stranger who
proved unusually companionable
He said he also lived in Washington
county and was we'll acquainted with
ID. +. Hull, Edward Moore and others,
and that he was then accompanying
the dead body of a former partner in
business to Hagerstown for burial
A third man, representing himself to
be an agent, finally presented him
self and demanded Of the stranger
something over . hundred dollars in
payment of freight on the body and
some goods. The bogus expressagent
declined the check which the stranger
rendered him, who then answered
that he would pay upon his arrival
at Hagerstown. The agent stated
that the company could not deliver
the body closer to Hagertown than
Harper's Ferry. Mr.. Hull was finally
induced to pay the bill, taking the
check as collateral security. Arriv-
ing at Harper's Ferry, the stranger
excused himself to Mr.. Hull to look
after the body, and this was the last
seen of him by Mr.. Hull, who has
anxiousiy awaited his arrival and
hopelessly lost confidence in the man
and the worthless papers in his pos
session. In brief he was swindled
out of his hard-earned money, and
can i! afford the loss.

make as much noise as they wanted
when the officers backs were turned.
Friday there was a parade of an am

small boys, with Frank Beltzhoover
as chief marshal. They had pretty
good imitation of a steam fire-engine

streets with great eclat. Monday night
