AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The New York Tribune says, THE habit of
taking headache powders Il increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed but almost impossible to shake
off Women usually begin taking them to re-
lievc raging headache and soon resort TO the
powter to alleviate any little pain or ache they
NAV be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phi1e or opium fend. get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble Is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, alsOays tn fa9or. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT
Upon an Aged Portland Woman BY Drunken
Man. Who Is arrested.

Portland, July 10-The Express says
An assault surprising in brutality any
thing that has happened In this city for
many months, occurred at 16 South street.
this morning, the victim being Mrs. Han
nah Cunningham, an old lady 70 years
old.
About II O'Clock this morning, Mrs.
Charles NJ Davis, who resides in the same
house with Mrs Cunningham, was re-
turning from tho grocery store on the cor
ner when she thought sho heard groans ID
the kitchen of the tenement occupied by
Mrs. Cunningham. Mrs Davis paused a
moment, but hearing the groans repeated
and the sounds of scutliing and oaths, she
pushed open the door and SAW Mrs. Gun
nipgham struggling in the grasp of o
man who had forced her to the floor.
The fellow, who had been drinking, at
tempted to leave the house when he saw
Mrs Davis, but the latter Is very plucky
woman and kept him in the room until
her husband, who was fortunately In the
house at the time, could be summoned.
Mr. Davis and his brother first lifted Mrs.
Cunnin CHAM, who had tainted, on the bed
in the next room, and held on to the
prisoner until Mrs. Davis had reached the
police station and informed Deputy
Marshal Hartnett of what had occurred.
Officer Greeley was sent to the scene of
the assault, and put the brute charged
with the crime under arrest. When the
fellow was being taken out of the house
he resisted the officer but was bundled
into the patrol wagon without ceremony.
His companion, who had been sleeping in
a room adjoining the one in which the
assault had been made, was also taken to
the station and locked up.
The man charged with having COM
mitted the assault gave his name AS
Daniel Gibbons and said he lived In West
brook. His companion, who will be held
as witness, is Michael Clancy, also of
Westbrook. At l2 o'clock both Deputies
Sterling and Hartnett visited the house
and made an examination of the premises
Mrs Cunningham was found lying on
the bed in very weak state. DR.. Pudor,
the city physician, who was called. said
that the old lady was in very bad way
but that he could not tell just how much
she had been injured until he had made a
more thorough examination.

Japanese Love For Animals.

The love of animals seems to be I'M
planted in the hearts of the japanese, and
Is an exceedingly amiable trait of their
character between them and the lower
animals, which a stranger cannot fail to
notice and admire, says writer in 'Our
Animal Friends" Consideration for the
lower order of beings is probably the result
Of the kindly tenets of Buddha, who in
stilled the lesson of divine humanity into
his followers, but it may be that the
bencvolcnce Of the japanese owes its
origin to fear as well as love, since they
are believers in transmigration, and
Buddha says, Thy future birth will be
unhappy if thou dcest cruel things
Tho education of tho japanese child is
derived in most cases from its mother,
who teaches it morality and tenderness
while yet an infant To this beautiful
feminine influence may bo traced tho love
of the little ones for flowers, birds and
beasts. They arc fond of playing with
toads, snails and butterflies but handle
them so gently that they escape un-
harmed. Even the tiniest toddler will go
cut of its way to avoid crushing tho mesn-
est worm that cfuwls. Their parents and
nurses tell them all sorts of quaint tales
about animals, and the folklore of the
country teoms with stories of birds and
beasts and fishes. The little ones grow up
with many pretty conceits about birds and
insects. Among Others, they have q
rhythmical charm which they believe will
infallibly make the great black aud yellow
snails put forth their horns

The Mysterious Ton.

Scientists Of England have been giving
great deal of serious consideration lately
to the study of a mere toy which they arc
still unable to satisfactorily explain. II is
a top called the artificial spectrum top,''
in which mere tracings of black and white
are made to assume colors when in motion.
The top as now constructed consists of
revolving disk, half black and half
white. On the white half are short con-
centric arcs of black. When the top re-
wolves close under a bright lamp these arcs
appear, not as gray lines, as might be cx-
pected, but as lines of color. To most
eyes the effect is as follows
O) When the revolution is such that
the black line is preceded by the black
half or the disk and followed by the re-
mainder of the white, it appears red
(2) when the direction of rotation is re.
versed it appears blue; (3) when the lines
are on the central portion of the white ESQ
as to have equal white Immediately on
each side) the color is green; (4) interme-
diate positions give approximately the iu-
termediate oolors of the spectrum. A few
