She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her heart action became normal.
Reasoning correctly that her digestion was
alone at fault she procured the proper med

finally ceased Her weight. witch had been
greatly reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her blood soon
became pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is Of general interest because the

The farmer who raises few pigs for
his pork barrel may count the cost and
affirm that pigs do not pay, but where
a few pigs are raised they will consume
a large amount of material that would
be of no value except for their use.
When the pork barrel is full the farmer
is at least fortified for the winter with
meat, and in many cases where no pigs
are kept there is waste of material
that could be utilized with the aid Of a
least one or two porkers.-Prairie

amount to about 5000 in Il minute.
The mosquitoes wings must therefore
move with this extraordinary rapidlty,
which sufficiently accounts for the diff
ticulty we have in catching one. But
the higher and shriller notes of the
complex melody are due to special
STIMULATING organs situated like little
drums on the openings Of the air tubes;
for the adult mosquito breathes no
longer by one or two air entrances on
the tail or back, like the larya, but by
a number OF spiracles, as they are
called, arranged in rows along the
sides of the body and communicating
with the network of internal air cham
bers.
The curious mosquito music thus
generated by the little drums serves al

most beyond a doubt as a means of at
tracing male mosquitoes. for 1t is
known that the long hairs on the an
tennae Of the males vibrate sympathet-
ically In unison with the notes of a
tuning fork, within the range OF the
sounds emitted by the female. In 9TH
er words, hair and drums just answer
to one another We may, therefore,
reasonably conclude that the female
sings In order to please and attract her
wandering mate, and that the anten-
nae of the male are organs of hearing
which catch and respond to the bur
zing music she pours forth for her
lovers ears. A whole swarm of gnats
can be brought down, indeed, by ut
tering the appropriate note Of the
race; you can call them somewhat as
you can call male glowworms by show
ing light which they mistake for the
female.-Strand Magazine.

HEADACHE.
Sometimes dependent, but Usually
Indicative of Disease Else where.

SOM etimes Inde pendent, but Usually
Indicative of Disease Elise where.
Headache is sometimes an independ-
ent affection, occurring as symptom
IF actual disease of some of the struc-
lures in the head itself. the skin, bone.
nerves or brain; but usually it is a
symphonic of general condition, or Of
disease in some one Of the digestive or
Kans. 1t occurs almost invariably at
some stage, usually the beginning, OF
the various fevers, and often is the
chief cause of complaint.
Apart from such cases, headache may
be occasional only, and Is then usually
! traceable to indiscretion in eating or
| drinking, or possibly smoking, to ex-
posure to the hot sun or cold wind, to
overfatigue. want of sleep, or to some
other easily discoverable cause. Such
1 headache is usually relieved by a cup
| IF black coffee or glass of carbonated
water containing perhaps a half-tea-
spoonful OF bicarbonate OF soda, fol-
lowed by rest in a darkened but cool
and well-aired room.
The habitual headache. which recurs
1t more or less frequent intervals, Is
more difficult to trace to its cause, and
more difficult to cure. Such head
ache may be due to eye-strain, to dys-
pepsia. constipation, mental overwork
Or worry, catarrhal trouble, disease of
the liver or kidneys, or it may be equity
in It's nature.
Gouty headache Is much more COM
mon than Is usually supposed, and &C.
surs often In those who have no other
sign of the disease. 1t Is, perhaps, the
most frequent kind of headache In per-
sons over thirty years old.
In children and young persons per-
sistent headache may often be traced
to eye-strain. This headache comes on
usually In the afternoon, after the eyes
had been used for reading or study,
and grows steadily worse until even
ing.
In cases Of persistent headache, at
tention should first be paid to the d.
gestive organs; coffee, tea and ALCOHOLIC
drinks should be excluded, the amount
Of meat reduced, and the bowels regu-
lated. Smokers should be very moder-
ate, or, better still, stop smoking entire
ty for a time. II, after faithful trial,
these precautions result in no improve
ment, the sufferer should consult an
oculist to determine whether eye-strain
may not be the cause of the trouble.
In no case should domestic dosing
with advertised headache cures" be
INDUCED in, as the continual use of
these preparations is apt to lead to the
formation of a drug habit, difficult, IL
not impossible, to cure.-Youth's Com
panion.

two long poles were placed from chair
