DANGER IN PERFECTION.

Ii would be difficult 10 find OH record
stranger hunting adventure than that
experienced by Prince Hohenlohe, son
Of the German chancellor, and Baron
vietinghof recently. They went ont
together to shoot stays and agreed 10
decoy the animals by initiating their
cali on q special horn. The hunters
separated, each accompanied by game
keeper, and went in different directions.
During the course Of the day they ap-
preached each other, and each heard
the others decoy call and believed a
stately stag was before him. Initiating
the heavy steps Of the animal. they
noisily drew still nearer. The imitation
Of the steps and call was SO we'll done
that they finally arrived within ten
PAGES Of each other without perceiving
their mistake.
The thicket was 80 dense that they
could not see through It. Both stood
still. repeating the challenge from time
to time. Each still firmly believed that
he was within q few PAGES Of real
stag. At last the prince, tired of wait
ing, fired thrice rapidly in the direction
Of the supposed game The first bullet
glanced of the cartridge belt Of Baron
vietinghoff. the second struck his watch
and sprang of. the third fell dead from
his pocketbook well filed with papers
The young baron, though hit three
times, stood unwounded. he was 80 con-
WINGED that not his fellow hunter. but
. stag, was before him that he attribut-
ed the shots to the explosion Of car
tridges in his belt and busted himself
christening his belt for the purpose Of
throwing it away. The astonishment Of
both when they at last found out what
had happened We great eps-

IL meet so many people who ask so

she smiled and said: Good morning

pose she thought was not leaving town
when the train We were on was going
away from II at forty miles an hourT'
aud the dude heaved sigh.
"Oh, those are only expressions" said
the friend
but aren't they silly, just the same: :

At this point the two we're joined by a

"No," replied Chollie, looking hope

HEADACHE.

The enemy of wOmankind, that goes
under the name OF headache, Is OF many
varieties, and requires many kinds of
treatment. To attempt to Danish all
variations Of it by single "cure" shows
childlike faith in medicines, but very
little common sense. The first step
toward curing headache Is to discover
what kind of one 1t Is, and then TO de-
vote ones energies to drive 1t away.
The headache that results from indi-
gestion should not be frequent, as 1t i'm
plies overeating or unwise eating. How
ever, when woman finds herself afflicted
with such headache, she should pro-
coed to cure it by fasting and mild
cathartic, and sitting with her feet In
hot water for few minutes.
The nervous headache Is the kind to
which American women are most sub
ject, as it results from the effort to make
the nerves do more than they are able to
do. The first step in treating such one
IL to drop work and worry and draw the
blood from the head by soaking the feet
in hot water, and putting cold applica-
tions to the forehead and the back Of the
neck.
A great many mysterious headaches
have their origin In oyerstrained eyes.
This kind is cured only by giving the
eyes a vacation or by the oculist. or
course, care in the use Of the eyes Is also
help. Reading, writing or sewing 10
dim or pickering lights must be given
up. The common practice Of trying to
read In jolting elevated trains must also
be discarded. The eyes must never be
used too long at time, and when there
Is much eyework to be done, brief rests
and bathings in hot water will ward off
the dreaded headache.
The best way TO treat headaches, how
ever, Is to avoid them. One should refuse
to overtax the nerves and eyes as we'll as
ones stomsch. After that, which Is the
first rule in steering clear Of headache,
plenty of bathing, exercise 10 the open
air, living ia airy, sweet rooms. and
sleeping sufficiently are the rules. Daily
which will call the blood
from the dilated vessels OF the head and
it properly through the body,
will also help In the good work.-New
York World.

a yeRlIAsLe CRANK.

n ever there was pure, unadulterated
crank 10 this whirligig Of a world, that
crank Is McNInny, aud only to mention
his name Is enough to raise the gorge Of
oil sensible persons Of either sex and OF
any and all ages.
McNinny Il so devoid Of common
sense as TO believe, and frankly to adj
init, that all the men belonging to his
political party are not ideal specimens Of
the human race; that not few Of them,
In fact, are pretty poor lot, time-sery-
ing, place-hunting creatures, with the
soul Of mouse and the greediness OF a
swine; and that there Is occasionally to
be found in the party of the opposition
fine specimen OF manhood and disinter-
ested patriot. or course, this Is the
very extreme Of crankiness and wrong
Medicines, but McNinny Is not ashamed
thus to avow himself, any more than he
Is slow to cry "humbug" at the utter
ances Of men Of his own political faith
or 'sbravo" when one Of the politically
lost, rs you and | regard them, says
something that pleases hun.
Nor IL this all Of his asininity, tor he
has actually been heard to declare that
his church IL not the exclusive possessor
Of all manner Of truth, and that II II
would shut Its mouth occasionally aud
open It's ears wide It might hear from
some Of the religious bodies II condemns
truth II never dreamed Of. He goes
further, and declares that Christian
nations are no better In some things
than the Psgans, and In not few things
distinctly worse than the benighted
creatures they love TO look down upon :
for he has the hardihood to maintain
that half Of the pleasure OF evangelizi-
ton consists In having somebody TO die
tate 70, and he most absurdly holds that
the worse you make others appear the
higher by contrast seems your own
moral level.
McNinny saws that people who talk at
length and with particularly OF others
faults and shortcomings are not actuated,
as every one knows they are, by dis
interested desire to turn the persons
talked about from the error Of their way,
but that they positively revel In the tale
of others delinquencies, and that there
fore the more bad people there are Ia
the world, the better the good people
enjoy themselves.
When McNlnny Is 10 nm especially
chstty mood. he will assert that this
world Il full Of all manner OF hypocrisy
deceit, double dealing and chicane Chose
of his sect, cult or persuasion being nc
better than the rest, and that certain
exceedingly fine ladies aud gentlemen
who regard themselves models Of pro-
priety are 1.-THE worst pills In the box,
