MAJESTY American.

Among my fellow passengers recently
on one of these good but very slow
ships, the Irrawadie, was little curly
haired English boy who had evidently
been brought up i'll the strictest sect of
the aristocracy-an embryonic English
man of the Englishmen.
'Do you speak French, little boy?"
said a good lady to him, who was trying
to scrape acquaintance with the youth
full Briton.
"Oh, naow," said the little chap.
do you speak Americana" then ask
ed the lady.
ooh, naow," he replied, with still
stronger emphasis.
"But wouldn't you like to learn
Americana" persisted the lady.
"Oh, naow, thanks, answered this
sturdy little patriot. ut is very, very
nashty to speak American. North

TO CURE HEADACHES.
Simple Remedies That VIII Bring Speedy
Relief to Sufferers.

"a hot bath, a stroll in the fresh air,
shampooing the head in weak soda wa
ter or a timely nap in a cool, quiet
room will sometimes stop a nervous
headache, " writes DR.. b. f. Herrick in
Ladies' Home journal. "When over
fatigued from shopping or sightseeing,
sponge dipped in very hot water and
pressed repeatedly over the back of the
neck between the ears will be found ex-
ceedingly refreshing, especially if the
face and temples are afterward subjected
to the same treatment. Neuralgia is
caused not only by cold air, but by acid
ity of the stomach, starved nerves, i'm

with a too generous diet. Heat is the

and deftly over several folds of flannel
laid on the affected spot, will often give
relief i'll less than ten minutes without
the aid of medicine Hot lamentations
are of equal value, though when the
skin is very tender it is more advisable
to use dry heat, nothing being better for
the purpose than bags Of heated salt,
flour or sand, which retain warmth for
long time Cold water, applied by the
finger tips TO the nerves in front of the
ear, has been known to dispel neuralgia
pains like magic. When caused by acid
ity, dose of charcoal or soda will usu-
ally act as a corrective. Sick headache
is accompanied by bilious symptoms,

The Interesting Performance of an Equine
Gymnast.
1t is the easiest thing in the world for
a horse to eat from the ground standing
that is the way it feeds in nature
but horse that was standing in Nassau
street the other day, attached to a de-
livery wagon, ate from the ground in
way that interested everybody who saw
him.
Strengthening out his fore legs in
front Of him, at an angle of about 40
degrees, something as a dog Strengthens
out his fore legs in stretching, he low
cred his body at the shoulders TO about
half its usual elevation above the
ground. Then he inclined his head
downward between his legs until his
lips touched the pavement, He didn't
need to bend his neck more than half as
much as would have been necessary if
he had remained standing with his fore
legs upright. 1t was like feat in gym
nastics.
A crescent shaped crowd gathered in
front of the horse, one horn Of the cres-
cent being on one sidewalk and the
other on the other. Somebody put
pear down on the pavement between the
horses feet. Out went his feet and down
he lowered his body and then deliber-
ately he inclined his head and picked
up the pear; and then he Strengthened
up and ate it, all to the great enjoy
ment of the crowd. One man said Bar
mum ought to have him, and yet when
he Strengthened up and was standing at
rest he was just good looking horse
whom nobody would ever have taken
for the prize horse gymnast.
A boy laid down the core of an apple
and the horse picked that up as before
while the crowd looked ON, and present
ly the driver came out of building and
jumped on the seat of the wagon. He
saw the crowd, but he didn't let ON that
he saw it or anything remarkable at all;
he simply gathered up the lines and
drove off, and then the crowd melted

A FORGOTTEN CHAPEL.
1t Was Walled Up In the Vatican Despit
Its beautiful Decorations.

Its beautiful Decorations.
The Oldest decorated walls in the
palace are those by Fra Angelica in the
chapel Of Nicholas. For some reason or
other this chapel at one time ceased to
be used, the door was walled up, and
the very existence Of the place was for
gotten. In the last century Bottari,
having read about it in Vasari, set to
work to find it, and at last got into it
through the window which looks upon
the roof of the Sistine chapel The
story, which is undoubtedly true, gives
an idea of the vastness of the palace
and certainly suggests the possibility Of
more forgotten treasures of art shut up
i'll forgotten rooms.
One other such at least there is. High
up i'll the BCrgia tower, above the stance
of Raphael, is il suit Of rooms once in
habited by Cardinal Bibbiena, of the
Chigi family, and used since then by
moro than one assistant secretary of
state. There is a small chapel there,
with a window looking upon an inner
court, which was once the luxurious
cardinals bathroom, and was bcauti-
fully painted by Raphael in frcsco, with
NEUROLOGICAL subjects. In 1885, accord
ing to Grove and Cavalcaselle, Passa-
want saw it as it had originally been,
with the frescos, though much damaged,
still beautiful, and the marble bath still
in its place in niche painted with
river gods. In one Of the vatican's pc
riodical fits of prudory the frescoes
We're completely hidden with a wooden
wainscor, the bathtub was taken away
and the room was turned into IA chapel.

The holding up Of individuals by itinepnt

TO assume a serious aspect, almost every other
day reputable citizens are waylaid in isolated
places, their .valuables taken by the thugs
and in many instances the robbery is ac-
companied by assault of the victim. That
the perpetrators Of these outrages invariably
escape and succeed in eluding the efforts of
the officers sent out in pursuit, is to be re-
GREETED. Yesterday Frank Glissipger, a
farmer from Mahantongo valley, wasattacked
by three men, one of whom held the horse
while the other two pointed revolvers at him
and demanded his money. He had consider
able cash with him, but instead of handing il
over he opened fire upon the men and after
an exchange of shots they made a hasty re,
treat and the farmer proceeded on his way.
