The Real CT nderella.

The many thousands who have been
charmed with the story of sCinder-
ella" will be glad to learn of the, origin
OF the romance, as told by high auth
ority in historical matters. Her real
name was Rhodope, and she was
beautiful Egyptian maiden who lived
67O years before the Christian era dur
ing the region of one of the twelve
Kings of Egypt. One day Rhodope
ventured to battle in a clear stream
near her home, leaving her shoes, which
were very small lying on a bank.
An eagle passing above caught sight
of the little scandals, and, mistaking
them for toothsome tidbit, pounced
down and carried one of them in his
beak. The bird unwittingly played the
part of fairy godmother, for flying over
Memphis where the King was dispens-
ing justice, it let the shoe fall directly
at the Kings feet. Its size, beauty
and daintiness Immediately attracted
the royal eye, and the King determined
to know the wearer of so cunning a
shoe. Messengers were sent through all
the kingdom in search of the foot that
it would fit. Rhodope was finally dis
covered. the shoe placed on her foot
and she was carried in triumph TO
Memphis, where she became the Queen
Of King Psammeticus.

A CONQUEST,

An auntie, whilst giving the finishing
touches TO table spread for dinner
party. heard the patter of little naked
feet upon the stairs. Surmising that
her little niece was probably bent upon
plundering from the dessert, she hid
herself behind the window curtains and
watched the proceedings. The child,
in her night dress, came into the room,
climbed upon a chair, helped herself
deliberately to fine peach, and went
off with her booty. The auntie felt
very sad, and began to consider how
she sborld admonish the culprit. Pres
emily she again heard the same patter
of feet, and hid herself as before. The
child clambered upon the chair. re-
placed the fruit, triumphantly ex-
claimed, ''That's one for you, Mr..
Devil!" and trotted off to bed.

Nobody has yet discovered or formu-

say that it is probably because the re-

reflex action of the brain, and thus
drives away the pain that when in

know how at such times you have the
feeling that everything in your head is
being pushed for ward? As soon as you
begin to walk backward, however,
there comes feeling of everything be-
ing reversed, and this is followed by
relief. The relief isalways certain and
generally speedy. Ten minutes is the
longest l have ever found necessary.

You should walk very slowly, letting
