CAUSES OF HEADACHE.
Most Often Produced by q Disarrange ed
Liver.

Most Often Produced by q Disarrange ed
Liver.
The common headache of everyday
life is the one we desire to call attention
to. We think we are safe in saying
that all simple acute headaches are
caused by indigestion, which is pro-
duced by the use of inferior food or an
inability to use good food. Also III
most all chronic headaches arc caused
by dyspepsia, constipation and discr-
ders of the liver. and these troubles are
very closely related. Constipation is
always associated with dyspepsia. The
liver, the greatest depurating organ
Of the body. is obstructed and diseased
in cases of dyspepsia. So it ought to
be understood by all who wish to be in
formed on the subject that the stom-
ach, bowels and liver belong to the
digestive system, and that one cannot
be diseased without more or less in
volving the others. These are the blood
making organs. About one-sixth of the
blood of the body circulates in the
head, and when this blood is loaded
with impurities and improperly elab-
Grated, then the brain and its struc-
lures are irritated and painful. This
is called headache. The depurating or
gans-the bowels, liver, skin, kidneys
and lungs-have failed to carry out the
waste of the system from some cause.
There has been too little exercise, sit
ting or working in illy-ventilated
rooms, too little or poor quality of
food, or partaking Of too much whole
some food-oyereating. Over-excite-
ment in business or sad and depressing
news are among the common causes oil
disturbances in the system that result
in headache.-N. Y. Ledger.

A i'nir or Robins.

A pretty little incident is that told
by Miss Edgeworth, in her recently pub
lished correspondence, of an old peas
ant of her acquaintance, Robin Woods,
who was very sick, very old, and fast
approaching his end. She went to see
him and found him in bed, CHEEKY and
accomplishing, enjoying the society of
his pet bird, robin redbrenst, which
fluttered contentedly about the room
entirely at liberty and entirely at home.
The old man was about to have n
meal, and as he took his bowl of milk
and potatoes the bird. which had
perched on the foot of the bed, hoped
eagerly along it's masters body from
his foot upward, sure of share in the
feast. She thought the sight pretty
ono and said TO the invalid, looking
from one robin to the other: you seem
very happy together!" "Ycs," was the
quaint answer, rs the old fellow smiled
gratefully at his companionable littl,

was married. youths Companion.

This Tells How Any Bright Boy Can
Mako y Waterscopo.
II you 20 to the lakes or to the sea-
shore this summer you should take n
waterscope along with you.
A waterscope is device which will
enable you to peer down to the bottom
of lake or stream and see the sea-
weeds, with the fish resting among
them. Any boy can make one of them
very easily, and he can have no end Of
fun using it.
The waterscope consists of long,
narrow box, covered at one end with
glass-ordinary window glass. To make

grained pine wood, one-quarter of an
inch in thickness, 20 or "a inches long
und 2hs inches wide. Have these pieces
made true and exact in measurement.
Carefully tack them together with
brads in the form of a long box. 1t may
be well before joining them to daub on
{, little white lead paint, so as to make
the joints watertight. Now cut piece
of glass the size of one end of the long
box. You can readily cut glass with an
old pair of shears by holding it under
water. Fasten this piece of glass to the
end of the tube by means of few small
lacks driven close to it's edges. Then
putty it carefully round, and, when the
putty Is thoroughly dry, paint the box

BURNS WAS A PEN NAME.
Tho Habit Among Authors of Disgusting
Ones Real Cognomen.


Ones Real Cognomen.
Almost every writer at the begin
ming of his career knows trepidation
and timidity that makes him glad to
hide behind "sobriquet," or, as the
French usually call them, mons de
guerre." 1t might be thought that
these are chosen haphazard. Though
this may be so in some cases, it is usual
ly otherwise. AS much thought is often
expended in their construction as was
ever devoted to the title of book.
Some adopt nom de plume" because
of innate modesty; others through
moral fear of the public and critics; yet
q larger class find satisfaction in writ
ing over n name more suggestive, II may
be, or romantic than the original fam.
lily name. Sometimes the style and
kind of work done by an author sug-
gests or decides the pseudonym, while,
in the great majority of cases, simply
that of euphonious or fanciful name
is desired.
The simplest forms-and these con-
stitute a goodly number-consist of the
initials of the authors real name, such
as az. +. L" Letitia Elizabeth Lam
dom; sc. A. S." George Augustus Sa-
LAY; and "B." (the late Lord BramwelD,
or some transposition of the real name,
such as "Dalmocand" FUSED by George
Macdonald), and Draw" which is sim
ply Ward written backward. AS an
other example might be mentioned, the
famous prima donna, Nine. Trebelli,
whose real name was "Gillebert,' her
nom de theatre being her surname
spelled backward, with the initial &c
omitted.
1t has been favorite fancy with au-
thors to assume fictitious names upon
the initials of their own. Thus, Annie
Bronte wrote as Acton Bell" Char
lotte Bronte as "Currer Bell, "and Emily
Bronte as ELLIS Bell" In all the wide
field of literature can three other such
illustrious names be found belonging
TO one family? 1t is scarcely known
fact that Robert Burns was nom de
plume, that Scotch poets name being
Robert Burmese, but it has by right Of
usage become the family name, as in
the case of Sir Henry Irving and Henry
NJ. Stanley.
1t is not unusual for lady writer's,
who desire to cultivate u masculine
style of writing and who feel that a
good masculine name would carry con-
viction, to adopt names of the opposite
sex. Mrs. Henry Wood used to write
as Johnny Ludlow" Mrs. Cross inn
mortalized herself as George Eliot
Nine. Dudevant, who was no mean fac
tor in the literary and social circles OF
the last century, as George Sand" and
Mrs. Stannard, who delights the read.

WATCHING THE FISH.

and putty, taking pains to fill all the
cracks. This is necessary to make the
box watertight.
In day or two your waterscope will
be dry enough for use. On some bright
sunny afternoon push your boat out on
the lake or stream where you wish to
experiment. Thrust the glass end of
the waterscope well under the surface
of the water and place your eye at the
other end. You will find that you can
see through the water with great dis
tinctness, often to the hiding places of
fish among those forests of the lake
bottoms, the seaweeds. The object Of
the watcrscope is to cut through the
disturbed surface of the lake where
your boat stands, and also to protect
your eyes from the reflection of the sun
on the water. or course it does not act
like telescope, and you cannot see to
dy or where it is very deep.
But you will be astonished ut what
Il fairyland of beauty the waterscope
will reveal along the edges of some OF
our clear lakes on n sunny day. Often
you can see big clam, with his mouth
wide open, waiting for his dinner to
drop into it, or lazy pickerel or a
sunfish resting near the bottom, and
sometimes you will see lost objects of
various kinds. including trolling hooks
and lines and other things of similar
nature. The writer once knew man
who found watch he had dropped into
the lake by means of waterscope.-
