Head pain is common in all disor-
dered conditions of the system. II may.
occur in the progress of almost all acute
and chronic diseases, at some time in
their course, or it may precede them.
The pain may be external or internal,
and is due to a variety of Influences that

The determination of the particular
tissues involved is extremely difficult;
especially because the sufferer is unable
to locate definitely the pain. Headache
is rarely regarded as Il distinct disorder,
but is considered rather as symptom

To Make Good Coffee.

An appeal for directions as to how to
make good coffee goes straight to the
heart of those who love the fragrant bev-
e!age, ana as each devotee has her spe-
eral which claim to be perfect.
1, Oid-tashloned housekeepers still insist
that no coffee is equal to that which has
had good boil" To make it by any
plan be sure that all your vessels are
perfectly clean and that all the water
you use is not only freshly drawn but
that 1T is at its first boil; a very few
moments OF ebullition will deprive it of it's
gases and make it flat and hard For
boiled coffee, then, allow two heaping ia
1iespoontuls of ground coffee to each cup.
Put it in the pot with onc-third of the
white of an egg beaten into half pint of
cold water; stir thoroughly and add
enough cold water to thoroughly cover:
then quickly add the desired amount of
fire and let it boil fast fer few mo-
ments: add Il cup Of cold water and push
it to the back of the range to settle for
five minutes.
But the modern epicur,.s prefer the
French method of making coffee by per-
collation.. For this have the bean not
a minute coffee pot. which consists of a
pot into which a cotton bag has been
fitted, and which can be had from any
house-furnishing store. Put into the bag
one heaping desscrtspoonful of the pow
der for each cup Of coffee. and have
ready just the quantity of fresh water
needed. When this has come to boil
pour it quickly over the coffee: it will
drain through the bag and be rich and
clear. If greater strength is desired put

much condemned by some epicures as it
is urged by others, so it becomes Il mat

Valuable Collections.

One of the best collections which he
had offered him recently, he said, was
une of the late John Hoey of Long
Branch, the former president of the Adj
ans Express company. The collection
included complete files of the Tribune,
the Herald, the London Graphic and thu.
London Illustrated News since they were
first published. It was Budd1 who first
supplied Mr.. Hoey with these papers.
An idea can be obtained of the value
that many people place on complete files
of newspapers from the fact that Budd
said that he knew one man who has a
lille Of 4, newspaper from 1885 to the
present time, for which he wants $4,000.
Budd's principal business now is supply
ing to lawyers copies of old NEWSPAPERS
containing legal advertisements or de-
scriptions Of cases once tried in thu,
courts. He recently sold d copy of the
Star (now defunct) published on January
Ii. 1863. to u law firm in the city. He
received $25 for it, although it was CON
siderably charred by the fire through

Statue Of Copper Plate.

A colossal statue of st. Fidelio has re-
Gently been erected upon the Peoples
tower at Palazzolo, small city between
Rrescia and Bergamo, in Lombardy.
While the statue measures not less than
- feet in height, it's weight is only 17G0
pounds. Had it been cast in bronze this
statue could not have weighed less than
fifty tons. This fact is Of the greatest
Importance, since the statue il erected
upon the top of the dome of the great
tower, ut q height of $50 feet above the
ground. The statue is made of galvan-
lied copper, and has shown what artists
and architects can do with an intelligent
employment of electOplating. tx:
The statue was modelled in clay by
Sculptor Antonio Ricci. The shaping of
the galvanized copper plates took place
in the electruplating establishment Of
Count Vitturio Turati in Milan. The
work of the sculptor was first modelled
IN plaster. full siSe, the mould being
then divided into seventeen parts. Each
of the pieces was then covered with a
layer of plnmbago ana placed success
tate the deposit of copper upon the plas-
ter net of metallic wire, shaped to
the form of the surface to be repro
duced, was placed Quite close to the form
itself, and number of small pins or
pegs kept it at even distance from the
pldStef FORM. Inc bath consisted of Il
solution with base of sulphate of cop
per. Once the first layer in copper was
deposited upon the mould, the metallic net
was taken away. In few of the more
delicate parts, however, the wire net
VAS allowed to remain, and was thus en-
tirely covered by galvanic copper, so that
it remained a sort of strengthening arma-
ture to the piece ITSELF
The duration of the plating process
was from ten to twelve days for each
piece, and in some cases more; the ill
tensity of the current was regulated in
such a way as to obtain metallic cover
of great cohesion. The thickness of the
metallic surface deposited is on the av-
erage millimeters. The surface of the
statue which had to be covered with
copper is in the neighborhood of 400
square feet. The electric current neces-
sary for the plating was generated by a
dynamo of 600 amperes, at n tension of
from four to six volts, and four-horse
power gas motor furnished the power.
The cost of this work is considerably
less than if it had been cast in bronze.
The expense averaged to 10 lire per
kilogramme go cents to ST per pound,.
or about $1,000 for the entire stntue,

Chased with Deer Hounds.

An eight-foot female cougar had been
committing wholesale depredations near
Tolt, in King county, Wash, and her
ravages became unbearable when she
killed four calves and colt in single
week. The great strength of the 1naurau-
der may be estimated when It is known
that she bounded down into pasture,
picked up a colt by the throat, swung
it like tiger does his prey across her
back, and then sprang lightly over a
high fence into the thicket.
When the liOness became so bold, Pearl
Ames, the 23-year-old son of J. O. Ames,
ferryman at the Snoqualmie; river, re-
solved to put stop to her raxages. He
gathered up pack of nineteen trained
deer hounds, put them on the track of
the cougar, and followed after them with
his rifle. There was great music when
the dogs struck the trail, and the woods
resounded with their cries when they had
once opened up. Away they went, like
racers upon the course. their noses close
speeding along i'll the ecstacy of the
chase.
The pack swept out of sight: and in a
few seconds the cry changed, and Ames
knew they had sighted the cougar. Then
there was terrific cutlery from the hounds
as they closed in with their fierce antag 60
mist. Ames hurried forward, and as he
caught sight of the cougar at bay, and
savagely striking her claws att the dogs,
the beast sprang into all adjoining tree.
The hunters rifle was leveledzin an in
slant. and second after he pulled the
trigger, the gaunt, tawny body-slid down
the tree trunk. and back into!sth midst
of the waiting pack. Watching his op~
portunity, .Ames sent bullet through
An examination of the carcass showed
that the first shot had entered far along
the back and ranged up the spinal col.
nmn and had come out in the mouth.
Some of the dogs had Jared badly, their
ears having been sliced to shreds.

A Wonder In Roses.

In a sheltered back yard at 1913 Union
street there is an immense rose bush,
which looks like an enormous bouquet,
says the San Francisco Cali. At the
top OH one side hang clusters of pure
white roses. In the middle at the ton
are red roses, blooming in profusion
Pink roses hang in gay garlands at the
top on the other SIDE All over the bush
are branches of roses of other lines and
colors. The delicate La France, the
white Nine. Planties, two varieties of
Homer roses, the Pauline Lebeau, the
Black Prince, the Castilan and the white
Lamarque lend variety and attest by
their prolific blooms to the virility of the
stock upon which they were grated.
The owner of this rose bouquet is H. L..
Barker, who is connected with the State
Bureau of Mining. Once there were thir-
teen distinct varieties of roses on the
bush but the tea roses grated on proved
to be short lived and only the harder
varieties have survived. There are
enough now, eight in all, to make the
bush curiosity. Mr.. Barker's explana>
ton is that he likes to experiment with
plants and this rose bush is about fifteen
years old. Branch after branc1l-has been
grated on. The original stock is the
June or cabbage rose. The width at the
top is not less than twenty-five feet, and
the height equals the width. There are
many stocks or trunks springing from the
roots: Carbon is plentifully. supplied to
