How to Cure a Sick Headache.

If you ever have sick headache and
want itcured quickly and effectively,
with none of the debilitating effects
of drugs, just take tablespoonful Of
red pepper, mix it with vinegar to n
thick paste and spread on cloth
cotton or linen-bind upon the fore
head with n handkerchief, from
temple to temple; then take about
two grains of the red pepper in II tea
spoonful of vinegar and swallow it.
The mixture on the forehead will
burn but not blister, and in the
course of ten minutes the headache
will disappear under the stimulating
effects of this remedy, leaving the
patient feeling as if such distressing
things as sick headache were
unknown to the human family.

The young man who is petted too
much at home is seldom any good.
What is wanted nowadays is Il
practical man who can do something
else besides twist a cane and smoke
cigarettes. The time to learn to work
and to learn business habits is in
ones youth. He who leads an aim
less life until he is 25 or 80 years of
age, and thenrecognizes the fact that
he has made nothing of himself, has
precious little to recommend him, if
he applies for a Job. This may be a
chestnut but it fits not few young
men in every community. There is
nothing like being. practical, and
there is one way to be so. Acquire
business habits and train yourself to
honest hard work.

which is poisonous if it chances to

What Good Society Is.

In the pioneer days of this country
social gatherings were chiefly op-
portunities TO make young people
acquainted with one another, with a
view to matrimony. The pairing
off instinct is naturally and neces-
sarily paramount in II new country.
Games, picnics and evening parties
were therefore planned chiefly as
occasions for courting. As the
country grew older it began to be
recognized that this was not only
narrow but a vulgarized idea of real
social intercourse. But TO this day
there are persons east and west who
think party n proper assembly
only for young and unmarried peo-
pie, and they are inclined to stare
and jeer when the fathers, mothers
and married sisters also appear at
social gathering.
In Europe since the days when
the inhabitants began to be educat.
ed and refined society has not been
limited to the gatherings of young
people in order that they may pair
off 1t has been for centuries there
recognized that the true object of
social life was something vastly finer
and higher than this. In the French
salon perhaps the finest ideal of
real social life has been reached,
where statesmen, artists. writer's
and brilliant women assemble. Wit,
wisdom, music and mirth reigned.
1t was an education to be admitted
to such a circle.
1t is this sort of assembling that
really constitutes good society. Let
there be dancing and amusement
for young people. But courtly man
ners, cultivated. voices, sweet, toll
Grant temper and high bred ease

Missionary Institute to be Enlarged.

The full board of the Missionary in.
stitue held asession on Tuesday aud
made all arrangements for an ad-
ditional building to be added to this
institution of learning. When COM
pleted it will rank among the most
complete colleges of its size in the
United States. The late growth of
this school has compelled the board
to enlarge. The first move in the
way of construction was made on
Tuesday, by the breaking of ground
by Rev. DR.. Zeigler followed by
DIR. Born. Appropriate exercise
were rendered for the occasion, after
which the building committee, which
is composed Of Rev. Mauhart, DIR.
Born, DIR. Dimm, Rev. DR.. Webe~
IL .s,of s lbpry w
Gortner and J. L.Cooper was organ
lied. Rev. Manhart was elected
chairman and DR.. Born secretary.
In few days the committee will
send out for bids for the construction
of the new bnilding, which is to be
composed of brick, 30 by 55 feet and
three stories. 1t will be completed
for the fall term. -SeiinSgr0Ue Times

haps there is some streak of original
sin that finds pleasure in witnessing
brutal displays of any kind, of which
Spanish bull fights and the Roman

think, look upon such displays with

whether II manufacturing company

that they can be assessed when the

A Titusville man the other day
committed suicide upon discovering
that he was his own grandfather.
The way he figured out this strange
relationship was stated in a letter
which he left, as follows: Il married
a widow who had n grown daughter
My father fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. Thus he
became my son-in-law and my daugh-
ter my mother, because she was my
fathers wife. My wife had n son.
He was my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he was the broth
er of my step-mother. My step
daughter also had son. He was,
of course, my brother, and in the
meantime my grandchild, for he was
the son OF my daughter. My wife
was Lay grandmother, because she
was my mothers mother. l was my
wife's husband and grandchild at
the same time and as the husband
of a persons grandmother is his
grandfather, l was my own grand
father" No wonder he killed him
self.

The severest test of manhood is
never found in good times, but only
in hard times. 1t is not the man who
has success when others do well, but
It is the man who keeps up his cour,
age and struggles on when everybody
else is wavering and going down, who
Is the hero in the sight of God and
men. 1t is an easier matter to make
good time when both wind and tide
are in ones favor, or when one is
moving with the current; but it re-
quires character and skill and daring
to make head in spite of opposing
sprces, or to work successfully against
he current.

lege that in compliance with
the order OF the court they forwarded to
Receiver Failey their several claims, which
he refused to file because he found that

READ 1T CAREFULLY AND PONDER
OVER 1T LONG AND EARNESTLY.

The most important news Of the day Is
that which most nearly concerns us ali.
In these times of business anxiety the
constant nervous strain on the system has
a fearful effect upon health. If you are
not in perfect health you cannot hope to
win success.
This fact was fully appreciated by Mr..
Nye l.. Smith. of Montpelier. VT, a we'll
known and respected business and society
man.
"A year ago last spring." he says, "I
was completely run down and was very
nervous indeed. I am OF a very nervous
disposition. / had no appetite and was
unable TO sleep, and when 1 rose in the
morning / was as tired as when / went 10
rest. My digestive organs were completely
unstrung; whatever 1 ate distressed me,
becoming sour.
81 exercised extreme care in eating, and
even then l had to suffer always after my
meals. L worked in pain all the time while
suffering from my condition. This state of
affairs lasted for some time. and while /
was trying various kinds OF medicine from
which l derived no permanent good.
