She Needed Teaching.

There is said to be the maddest
kind of woman ia Portland. She
persisted in playing her piano despite
the wooden swearing of her neighbors
by means of slamming doors and win
d0ws. One night last week there
was a ring at her door bell A woman
whom she had never met before stood
there. The first part Of the CONVEX
sation passed unnoticed. but sud-
denly the excited voice of an angry
woman awoke the echoes of the
street. ''You say you are a singing
teacher, and that Mrs B. sent you
here: 1 don't want any singing
teacher. II beg pardon, madam"
replied the caller, .:She said she heard
you sing and YOU wanted teacher
badly" It is kindness to draw the
veil here, but there was a big hair
pulling match right then and there,
and two angry women are cut gun
ming for Mrs b But since that the
yocalist'ss piano and the quiet even
ing air have taken long-needed rest

NERVOUS HEADACHE.
Something OF Particular Interest TO
Women.

It has been a hard day and the
tired lines in your face show it. The
muscles of the face have lost their
firmness and the lines about cheeks
and mouth and eyes droop YEARLY.
You look ten years older than you
know you are, and you feel sadder
than you know you have right to
be. Worse than all, a sharp pain
shoots from the left temple over the
forehead and down the sides of the
face You know that means nerv-
Gus headache and night OF agony,
unless something is done quickly.
Try this: Slip off your bodice and
bare your neck. Twist your hair into
a loose knot on the top of your head.
Then take d sponge and a basin of hot
water-juSt as hot as you can bear
it. Pass the hot wet sponge slowly
and steadily over the face and fore
head for eight or zen minutes, keep
ing the sponge as hot as it can be
borne BY that time your face will
look and feel as if it were parboiled.
But do not worry.
Then battle the back Of the neck
as you have done the face, carrying
the sponge each time well up the
back of the head.
Keep this up for some length of
time: then, without looking at your
self in the gIaSs-because that would
be sure to disquet you-dry your face
and neck softly and go and lie down
fat on your back. Close your eyes
and think just Of anything-how
heavy you are on the couch and how
easily it supports you That is an
important part Of the cures.
Lie there for half an hour, if you
don't fall asleep as you probably will.
Then get uE and take the deferred
look in the glass. That tired look
has gone, the muscles have regained
their tone, the wrinkles have dis
appeared. You look like your younger
sister, Best of all, the parting pain
in the head and the pessimism of the
soul have left you. York Sun.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to he incurable. For Il great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by T. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Lacking in Nerve.
Even the 1mperturbable American
newspaper man" could not surpas,
the sang froid displayed recently b.
a well known London journalist
This gentleman was cited to appear
as witness in case and waited un-
til his patience was exhausted. when
he called out to a friend, who was
also in the ante chamber, that il he
were not summoned within five min
utes he should go away.
This was overheard by the Judge
Of the court, who happened to be
passing during temporary adjourn
ment. Addressing the journalist in
a passion of offended dignity, he said:
"You will stay here as long as /
SCI tit to keep you You appear to
be ignorant Of the power of the law.
Are you aware that if / were TO sum-
mon Prince George to appear before
me tomorrow and he refused, I could
have him arreSted?"
With the most innocent air in the
world, the journalist replied: 'If l

the Judge, impatiently. 81 said if I

"Of course you will do as you please
in the matter" said the other phleg-
maticallY, ''but to arrest Prince
George is a serious matter"
Il never had the least intention"
"And BESIDES" continued the Jour
nalist. "there will be trouble when
his Royal Highress the Prince Of
Wales learns that you intend to ar
rest his eldest SON."
so, stupid!' cried the Judge.
"However, that is your own affair.""
went on this diabolical journalist.
II am much obliged to you for tell
ing me of your intentions AS soon
as ] am free I shall hurry to the Of
fee with the exclusive news that
Prince George is to be arrested to-
morrow-it is tomorrow you intend
arIesting him, is it not?"
BIT the Judge had heard enough.
In despair he turned on his heel, and

leaving the journalist standing w b
Sardonic smile on his lips.

convention, and that he believed the road
would be commenced within six months.
He looked for it to be built as far as
Kansas in two years. By that time the

A Soldier with Nerve.

A hundred years ago the unfurtun-
ate people who came into the hands
of the surgeons, generally soldiers or
sailors who had been hurt in action,
were forced to undergo the operations
necessary to the prolongation Of life
without taking ether or chloroform,
as is now administered to make the
patient unconscious and so free from
pain attendant upon the operation.
To secure quiet, often the subject
had to be bound by ropes, so that
much as he might desire to vince he
was utterly unable to do so
Occasionally patients would show
remarkable tertitude at the crisis OF
their troubles, but none ever showed
more than a soldier who, on the
morning after the battle of Yorktown
(Oct, ~, 17SI, was brought into the
hospital, having been shot in the
knee. 1t was found necessary to
amputate the limb, and the surgeon
ordered the nurses to bind the man
fasU preparatory to the operation.
"NeVer!" protested the soldier.
'"You may tear my heart from my
breast, but you shall not bind me!
Can you get me a tiddle'"
His request was complied with, and
he proceeded to tune the instrument,
after which be said: $50, Doctor,
now you can benin" And he played
during the whGe Of the operation,
which lasted 40 minutes, without ut
tering q single false note or disturb
ing his features in the slightest.

Headache ON Railroad Trains.

Those who suffer from headache
and feel the fatigue of a railway jour
ney idisagreeably should take with
them two leather or Recovered
cushions-one for the small of the
back another to rest the neck and
head. An eminent doctor once stated
that this was capital antidote to
the evils arising from the jolting of
the train, liable to cause slight CON-
gestion of the head in very long jour-
neys. he Furthermore advised no
reading in the train TO those subject
to headaches.
