Laura McHenry, in the Ladies
Home Journal, says:
The headache par excellence
or rather ad Hbifnm among
women is the "sick headache"
and by that find is meant a
headache which is attended in
any stage of its action by a
nausea, which increases until
vomiting ensues, when the pa
tents skin becomes naturally
moist again.
And yet every woman can
lessen the number and frequency
OF her headaches by assisting
nature by natural means. The

evaporated from the natural
waters of Carlsbad, taken early
IN the morning before breakfast,
and If necessary at bedtime

solved in tumblerful of water).

THE TRUTH ABOUT LILLIAN.
Cholly's Opinion of the stories Anent the
Comic Opera Queen.

And while am dealing with the fringe
OF society may say that the recent stories
of Miss Lillian Russell's engagement to
Walter Jones, the comedians; John Ryan,
the horse owner, and Tod Sloane, the jock
ey, are Indignantly denied by that lady
In her private correspondence.
Mr.. Ryan did present Miss Russell with
some $50, 900 worth of diamonds as evil
deDce Of his appreciation of her as an art
list, but that was purely platonic.
Mr.. Sloane never gave Miss Russell any
thing but tips, and these offerings were
only induced by the great mutual admira-
ton existing between himself and Miss
Russell's chum, Nine. Kate Rolla.
Mr.. Jones--well, Mr.. Jones Is another
story. If Miss Russell should ever conclude
to marry again, it is not unlikely that Mr..
Jones would be an odds on favorite in the
race for No. 4.
At least that is what they tell me In

ANOTHER IRISH FAMINE.
The Island Threatened with tho Gravest
| Distress This Winter.

Distress This Winter.
The everlasting Irish question is coming
up in an acute form through an Irish fam
inc. The correspondent Of tho Manchester
Guardian, one of the most trustworthy
and least sensational papers In England,
declares that no such appalling prospect
has presented itself during the present
generation. Concurring reports show that
the prolonged and continuous rains Of the
autumn have ruined the crops from north
20 south.
The rich lower lands have been flooded
for weeks at u time when the harvest ought
TO have been proceeding. Corn and hay
stacks have been submerged, and potatoes
are rotting in the fields. In the poorer
hill lands the small farmer and cotter pop
ulation are again face TO face with one OF
those failures of the potato crop which
have too often brought the uttermost hor-
rors Of starvation and famine and disease
among them.
As usual, the government Is doing moth
ing. The Irish secretary's tour In the
west and northwest occurred before the
bad weather set in and at time when lit
tle could bo predicted of the haryests.
Since then he has obtained reports from
Oht'idi souitCo--ATbiu lbDblcTQ eOuTCtS--
which can only he described as misleading.
The farmers on many OF the large estates
have informed their landlords agents that
no rent can be paid this year because no
rent has been earned. But the landlords
have entered into combination for whole
sale pressure on tho tenants. Using their
utmost privileges under the land act, they
are applying for ejectmcnt DEGREES by the
thousand, and an eviction campaign such
as rarely has been witnessed even In IRE
land is now in progress in many districts
as soon as the rigors Of winter set In
the demand for relief will be clamorous.
The government will be compelled to In
teryene before parliament opens or face an
accusation of reckless indifference to suf.
feripg such as ought to overwhelm any
English ministry.
With this famine impending, combined
with the revelations OF the financial rela-
tions commission, showing how Ireland Ia
annually bled Of millions of money to the
advantage Of Great Britain, 1t will be no
wonder IL Irish discomfort assumes n moro
active form than nero talk over legislation
for home rule. New York Sun.

Great Dreaming.

A young lady Philadelphia after par.
taking heartily of scrapple, retiped and
dreamed that she had lost her watch, a
valued present from her father When she
awoke In the morning, she recalled her
vivid dream, and, looking at the place
where she could have sworn that she had
placed 1t, 10, it was gone.
She told her father and brother, and
they, making no doubt that it had been
stolen, reported the matter to the police,
and the pawnshops were hunted in vain.
On the next night the young woman
dreamed again.
This time she dreamed that before re-
tiring sho had hidden the watch in an old
shoe In the bottom of closet. Upon aris-
ing next morning she recalled the dream,
and out of curiosity explored tho old shoes
in the closet and found tho watch. New
