Physical Culture Headache Cure,

An excellent and never failing cure for
nervous headache" said an apostle of
physical culture, "is the simple act of
walking backward. Just try it some time
if you have any doubt about it, l have yet
to meet the person who didn't acknowledge
its efficacy after trial. Nobody has as
yet discovered or formulated reason why
such a process should bring such certain
relief. Physicians say that it is probably
because the reflex action of the body brings
about a reflex action of the brain and thus
drives away the pain that when induced
by nervousness is the result of too much
going forward. Don't you know how at
such times you have the feeling that every
thing in your head is being pushed for
ward? As soon as you begin to walk back
ward, however, there comes feeling of
everything being reversed, and this is fol-
lowed by relief. The relief is always GER
tain and generally speedy. Ten minutes

An entry or long, narrow room makes
the best place for such promenade. You
should walk very slowly, letting the ball
OF your foot touch the floor first and then
the heel, just the way, in fact, that one
should, in theory, walk forward. but
which, In practice is so rarely done. Be-
sides curing nervous headache, there is no
better way TO learn to walk well and grace
fully forward than the practice of walking
backward. A half hour of it once day

I,nndop. Oct. 23.-Dixon Kemp, yacht
ing authority and editor Of the Yacht
Racing Calendar and Review. through
whom both Of the recently cabied Dun
raven interviews were furnished to the
United Press, today wrote the London
manager Of the United press the follow
ing note:
II saw Lord Dunravep. Saturday noon
and sent you come Of the topics Of CONVEX
sation which took place between uS. in

fortunately you attributed some VI M
remarks to Lord Dunraven, especially tn,
one stating the New York Yacht CluI
knew perfectly well that Mr. Roses chal
lenge for the America cup was not ar
English challenge and that the Roya
Victoria Yacht Club was sorry for hav
ing backed 1t. These were purely my re
marks. ! very much regret the misun
derstanding"
After the receipt Of this letter the Lon
don manager Of the United Press sent the
following telegram to Lord DunraFen

No reply to the foregoing has yet been

may be found In the following letter
written, last night, by Mr.. Kemp to the
London manager
Lord Dunravon called on me just
now. He Is not going to make any reveal
tlons at the dinner in Cardiff or else
where. In your telegram to New York
you make him say that the New YORK
Yacht Club knew perfectly well that Mr..
Roses challenge was not an English chal
lenRe. Lord DuDraven did not say this.
The remark was mine in the letter |

It will be seen from the foregoing that
Lord Dunraven does rot deny the inter
view, but calls upon Mr.. Kemp to ask
him to moderate certain portion Of 1t
There Is no doubt that Lord Dunrav6 n

DINING IN PALESTINE.
How Meals Are Served and Eaten In tho
Holy Land.


A man just back from the Holy Land
tells a very interesting story of dining in
Palestine. A very large circular tray of
timed copper, placed on coarse wooden
stool about a foot high, served as table.
L.: the center of this stood another big
tray, Yfith a mountain of pilaff, composed
of rice boiled and buttered, with small
pieces of meat strewn through and upon
it. This was the chief dish, though there
were other smaller dishes, both meat and
vegetable. Ten persons sat around the ta-
BILE, or rather squatted on the carpet, with
their knees drawn up close to their bodies.
Each had before him plate of timed cop
per and wooden spoon, which some used
without the plate. Most, however, pre-
ferred to use the fingers of the left hand,
several dipping their hands together into
the DISH rs tie disciples did at the last
supper.
As soon rs any one had finished he rose
and went into another room to have water
poured over his hands to wash them, and
the vacant place at the table was instantly
filed by newcomer. The bread was laid
on the mat under the tray, so as to be
easily reached, and a jar of water, the only
beverage used during the meal, stood
within reach. Besides rice, stews of beans
or cracked wheat, with thick soup or sauce
poured over them in the great central
bowl are alss in fashion.
Spoons, though sometimes provided, are
often wanting-pieceso of thin bread, dou-
bled, serving instead. Knives and forks
are unknown, and as there is no special
dining room there is no furniture suited
for one; hence, tables and chairs are never
seen. So far indeed are orientals from
thinking it strange to dip their fingers
into the common dish that it is special
act Of politeness to grope in it for the Wis
itor and lay nice morsels before him, or
even TO insist on putting them into his
mouth, -Boston Advertiser.
