EASY CURE For HEADACHE"

EASY CURE For HEADACHE.-"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..
I have yet to meet the person who
didn't acknowledge its efficacy after a
trial. Nobody has as yet discovered
or formulated a reason why such a
process should bring 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 everything
in your head is being pushed forward =?
AS soon as you begin to walk back
ward, however, there comes feeling
of everything being reversed, and this
is followed by relief. The relief is
always certain, and generally speedy.
Ten minutes is the longest I haze ever
found necessary. An entry, or a
long, narrow room makes the best
place for such q promenade. You
should walk very slowly, letting the
ball of the 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" New York Mercury.

NOT HIS HANDwRITING.-Old man
Davidson, in Leake county, Mississip-
pi, has a son in Texas. A short time
ago young Davidson got into trouble
and was arrested and fined. He had
no money, and it was 60 to Jail or
raise it by some means. He told the
sheriff that if he would wait until he
could write home to his father the
money would be forthcoming as soon
as his family were acquainted with
his troubles, and that the mails could
bring it. The sheriff suggested that
he telegraph to his father to send him
the money by telegraphic money order.
He acted upon this suggestion. When
the telegram reached the Mississippi
Office the operator had to send several
miles into the country to the old man.
When Mr.. Davidson read it he was
confused and could not understand it,
and appealed to his wife to assist him.
She looked at the telegram, and hand
ing it back said: "John, that amt
Williams handwrite; it's trick OF
some of them town folks to beat you
out of $50" The old man thought
his wife was right. William laid in q
Texas Jail until he got a reply from a
letter.

FREE L1oUoR.-"I'm out getting
opinions on the liquor question:" said
a sharp reporter to saloon keeper.
"Are you in favor of free liquor?"
"Well, 1 should smile," was the
ready reply. II think this country is
the home of liberty, and I believe
every man should have right to
drink what he pleases, when he pleases
and where he pleases, absolutely free,
and all legislation to the contrary is
sumptuary, and therefore unconstitu-
tional."
"Do you want to be recorded?"
"You bet your sweet life.
Gall right; now I'll take a glass of
champagne-the best you've got in the
house."
1t was set out for him and he poured
it down and poured another in on top
of it, and started off.
"Hold on" cried the barkeeper,
"you owe me for that wine."
"No I don't either. Didn't you say
you believed in free liquor, and that
anything to the contrary is sumptuary,
and therefore unconstitutional? If
there is anything I do love to see it is
a man who lives up to his principles" "
And he walked out wiping his mouth
on his coat sleeve and leaving the sa-
loon man to ponder on theory and
practice, law and fact.-Hotel Gazette.

D1- In the slavery days an old lady
living in Alabama had number Of
slaves. She was Presbyterian of the
ultra old school type and had brought
her people up in the same vigorous
belief. As she grew older she became
so feeble that she took likely girl,
named Malvina, as her body servant,
and in short time the girl was indis-
pensable. Malvina and Cuff, one of
the boys of the place, were anxious to
marry, but the old lady would not
hear of it; 80 Cuff went to see her.
"Miss Helen," he said, 81 reckon

"But, Miss Helen, rs bound to have

"You may think so, but 1 say posi-

BED.MAKING,

There is popular notion to the
effect that anybody can make bed.
To the fallacy of this belief let those
who have tossed through the long
hours of the night upon wrinkled
sheets and under uneven blankets
testify. While good springs and a
firm hair mattress are the starting
points of comfortable bed, even they
are of no avail unless properly dressed
by mistress or maid.
Over the mattress is smoothly laid
a pad made of heavy muslin with an
interlining of cotton batting. Then
comes the sheet. This should always
be drawn as tight as strong hands
can pull it, and tucked in firmly at
top, bottom and sides. This is sine
qua non of a good bed. Then the
upper sheet is laid over this, and it,
with the blankets, must be turned
under the foot of the mattress to pre-
vent all danger of the covers slipping
up at night and leaving the feet un-
covered. The average servant will
never, of her own will, fasten the
clothes down firmly at the foot of the
bed, and it takes a saint to bear pa
tiently the feeling of general GOODNESS
and discomfort caused by the cover
ings creeping up from the feet. Nei-
ther does domestic comprehend that
double blankets should be put on with
the open end at the top, 30 that one
thickness may be thrown back if nee
essary. Next the blanket comes, of
course, the counterpart, over the hem
of which the upper hem of the sheet
is neatly folded. Then the plump
bolster and pillows are put in place.
A light but warm duvet is laid across
the foot of the bed, and behold a
couch towards which the weary man
or woman looks with a sigh of long
ing, and in which he or she finds COM
plete rest in deep sleep. The bed
furnishings may be elaborate or sim
pie, as the housewives. means and
taste dictate: but stitching, en-
broidery, antique lace and satin count
as hollow shams if the bed they adorn
is not properly and therefore comfor-
tably made up, from the mattress

entire club, Including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
TO be more explicit. 1t Is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also De
the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy.

section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire II as a regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven;
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter OF subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfaily desirable for US, just at this time, TO
secure the services Of a large number OF intel.

worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price OF single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to q clubmaker; aIs,n.;
but sends 1t direct TO this office. In clubs,

he is expected to pay US. Now to our propo-

A YANKEE TRICK.

A six-foot Yankee, seated upon a
load of brooms, drove his team up be-
fore the door of an establishment
where he expected to find purchaser.
Jumping from his seat he entered the
store and the following colloquy took
place:
Yankee-"Can't I sell you load of
brooms today, mister ?"
Dealer--"No, don't want any,"
Yankee-"Better take 'em-sell 'em
dog cheap"
Dealer-''Don't want 'em; got
enough brooms."
Yankee-"I'll tell you what I'll do,
If you'll take the whole lot, I'll let
'em 60 for dollar dozen you know
they're worth double that"
The dealer stroked his chin for a
moment as if in deep thought and then
replied: "Well, I don't want any
brooms as told you, but don't mind
making trade with you"
Yankee-"What sort of trade p
Dealer-"Well, I'll take your whole
load at dollar dozen, and. pay you
one half cash, you take the other half
in trade"
Yankee-"No you don't, mister
You'll charge me such an all fred pro-
fit on the other half that I might come
out at the little end of the horn"
Dealer-"Oh, no, promise you that
YOU shall have the goods at just what
they cost me-"
Yankee-"Wall, mister, that's what
I call squar' dealin'. It's a bargain" /"
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in a pile on the sidewalk.
When he got through he walked into
the store. "There you are, mister IA
dozen, which I calculate makes just
81 comm to me-"
Dealer-"Yes, that's right; there's
the money. Now what goods do you
want for the other 81 ?"
Yankee-"Wall, I dunno-You see,
mister, I hain't much posted in your
other truck, SO I guess I'll take
brooms!"

THE BABY In THE BATH.-Try
some way of amusing your child if he
cries during his bath-a cork which
will bob about with every movement

thing which will amuse a child will
attract his attention and prevent his
crying during the process of bathing.
Once the child is broken of the habit
of crying, this trifing amusement will
be unnecessary.
