How to Cure Il Headache.

Dyspeptic OF bilious headache is very
common, and, it seems to me, it is the
headache which is most easily traceable
to its cause and most readily avoided
without medicine.
Every one who las ever suffered
from it knows, as we'll as / can tell
them, the aus and remedy. 1t is the
old story of appetite, indulgence, and
punishment.
Ii you wish to know my advice as to
curing bilious headache, L say-Dont
get it. Eat such food as agrees with
You; be temperate in all things, and be
as regular as clock-work about your
habits. In the case OF young people
this headache can always be traced to
some error in diet-as rich food in ira
moderate quantity, eating at
able and unusual hours, drinking wine
or beer, etc, etc.-and it readily gives
way to a emetic and sleep. Almost
any emetic will do--ipecac or sulphate
OF zinc. In the case Of elderly persons,
however, the headaches, although less
acute, are apt to be more tedious and
more exhausting. Rest in bed, cold ap-
plications to the head, and some purga-
tive medicine taken so as to operate in
the morning, will usually effect a cure.

man. For how many years, though,
those slow oxen dragged the settler on
to a frightful doom! How many brave
hearts ceased to beat on that hotly con-
tested region between the Missouri
River and the Rockies! In the city OF
Denver, which now lies in the midst OF
the irrigated plain. smiling and pros
porous, there are tongues, if they could
but be made to speak, that would make
clear how scorched and blistered with
suffering was the road which led to the
now lourishing city.
When l first went there, over twenty
years ago, the block houses in which
the citizens had defended themselves
from the Indians were standing, the
townspeople still kept their firearms in
readiness, as they had for years, for the
invasion of the red man. The town was
small, but comfortable homes had be-
gun to appear, and from these came
ONE to gaze with JOY upon the first
cars that had entered the place. They
had come into the village years before
behind all OK team, and helped to build
the cabin that was their new home.
Alas! there were others who could not
come to see what was to them a rare
sight. Wrecked in body and some in
mind, they were housed for the remain
der of their days, paying the penalty OF
overstrained nerves. The Indian, in at
lacking the OK train, if he failed to
carry away booty, had taken, alas! the
greatest possession of all, the health
and sometimes the reason of the COVER
ing m hidden within the wagon.
There were warriors among them,
quiet and modest, hut still ready toload
and fire a rifle, while the men of the
party deployed themselves as skirmish-
ers and walked on either side of the
wagons that the women drove. The
most timid woman was nerved TO action
by the sight Of her husband in peril and
the danger that threatened the little
family hidden in the wagon bed. When
stood the hardships, perils, de-
pr%ivations, as was the lot of every II
who crossed the plains before the build
ing Of the railroads. what homes they
must have made for their husbands!
What peace and comfort must have sat
down on the hearth to remain forever!
1t would be difficult to move oma
to show temper, or to provoke her to
murmuring, or to induce an hours
gloom with any in the ordinary trials Of
a peaceful life, if she had come off vic
torious under the test of an overland
journey. And when / sometimes see Il
plainswoman come in from an outing"
in the States a good deal bcdecked and
shining with jewels, j do not blame the
frontier husband for his desire to hang
a few trophies Of his success on the "old
woman" who, he courageously tells me,
"druv' the OK team while l lit %lniuns on
our way to the Rockies" An hours
talk with such people brings ME to the
very o L Of patience, fidelity and cour-
age.-ElizabeM Bacon Caster inn. y.

An Intelligent Dog.

A small fox terrier, white AS milk, with
the proper golden-brown spots OF his
head, having q pedigree longer than
Queen Victoria's and q temper sweeter
than G%riselda's, full of fun, and adoring
babies, made his debut when he was
only a week old in a ''littery' family.
he was christened with great pomp
"Charlas Chum," but later on these
short syllables were not considered sutfi-
Gent for his dignity, and he was re-
christened William Billykins," known
to his intimates as Billy"
After he was taught that it was not
polite to snatch at things, that his mis-
tress was perfectly satisfied with being
kissed nee a day, and that fruit cake
was not a suitable diet for small puppies
he was educated, by means of a whip
trimmed with yellow ribbons, not to
tear up a bit of paper. The chief and
original sin in a fox terrier is the liking
for tearing up anything, but especially
paper, so that this young gentleman
was taken through what the darkies
called a course Of sprouts" before he
realized fully that anything in the shape
of an envelope or bit Of paper of any
kind must be let alone.
One night his mistress counted out a
roll of bills and put them in her purse.
Then she went to bed. Billy stood by
during the performance, but was not
noticed. The next morning some
money was wanted, the purse was
gotten, the bills unfolded and a five
dollar note was missing. The owner of
it had never been out Of the room since
the night before. The maid had seen
her put the money way and then left
the room. Where had it gone? 1t was
talked over, it was looked for, still no
five dollars. During the discussion
Billy stood by staring his mistress in
the face, as if he were trying hard to
understand what it was about. Sud
denly he made a rush, dived under the
desk where he kept his favorite bones.
and came out with a tive-dollar bill in
his mouth. He had picked it up where
it had dropped on the floor, knew he
must not tear it, and yet hid it away
among his belongings.
/ ask no one to believe this; I know
it is true myself, and William Billykins
to-day is adorned with a collar on which
hang two silver bells as a reward Of
merit for being a good dog.

SOME experiments by Prof. Haeckel,
of Marseilles, show that kola is a drug
Of extraordinary powers of stimulation.
The colonel ofa regiment at P%erpignan,
dosed with kola, made the ascent of the
Canigou Mountain. 9,137 feet, and felt
quite fresh after his climb, which lasted
twelve hours. He only halted once,
and for twenty minutes. and ate moth
ing. The One Hundred and Twenty
fourth regiment last July marched for
fifteen and a half hours from Laval to
Rennes, a distance of forty-fye miles,
and were fresh at the finish. They
walked at the rate of three and three
quarters miles an hour. Kola produces
a similar effect ON horses.

THERE is a mine just above How
ardsville, Colo, that is a curiosity to
tendelfeet and a source of profit to the
saloon man who lives near by. 1t is an
ice mine, and the ice is as clear and
pure as that to be obtained from the
purest lake. The claim is owned bv
Neigolds, who, in the carly days, ran a
tunnel through the frozen ground and
struck a spring beyond. AS the water
flows out Of the tunnel it freezes, and
the tunnel is now filled nearly to the
roof with the ice. 1t has long supplied
all the saloons of Howardsville with
ice, and, as it never thaws, winter or
summer, 1.-THE place is an objective point
for curiosity seekers.
