The Rubber Band Cure.

A simple remedy for headache
worth trying is to put rubber band
around the head just above the ears.
The band should not be tightenough
to stop the circulation of the blood.
The band known as the string band
is generally sufficiently heavy for
the purpose. 1t should be applied
just as soon as it is noticed that the
headache is setting in, and taken off
the momentthe pain ceases. In many
cases the rubber band works nicely,
though it affords no relief when the
headache is the result of stomach
trouble or billiOusness. / find, also
that a rubber band twisted about a
toe between the corn and the foot is
a handy remedy to stop the pain
from a jumping corn. Corns are
very liable to be troublesome when
there is much humidity in the at
mosphere. The rubber band seems
to temporarily quiet the nerves in
the toe, and in this way stop the
pain. AS in the case of band
around the head, the pressure should
not be tight enough to stop the cir
culation OF the blood.

Remedy for Typhoid Fever

Here is Il treatment for typhoid
fever which our informant says has,
to his knowledge, never failed to
cure: When the fever starts saturatc
a couple of sheets in as cold water
as can be had, ice cold if obtainablc;
strip and wrap the patient in these
water-soaked aheets and as soon as
the sheets become warm from heat of
body apply other cold ones until the
fever breaks, which it will do after
few packirgs in these cold-watered
cloths. All that is needed besides
this treatment for the recovery of
the PATIENTS to administer remedies
to overcome any costiveness in the
case.-iSagton Herald.

The sugar crop of the world amounts
In a normal year to about 5000, 900 tons,
of which the larger part, about $500. 900
tons, comes FROM beets and the balance.
$500, 900 tons. from sugar cane. OF the
latter the largest proportion comes
from the West Indies and a large
amount from the Island Of Java.
Among the countries producing beet
sugar. Germany comes first with about
oue-third of the worlds crop: then Aus
tria with about as much. and then
France, Russia, and Belgium and IIol-
land together, with substantially the
same quantity.
In respect of the production Of beet
sugar in the United States there has
been a vast increase since the establish
ment of the Mckinley tariff in 1890.
The year previous the American prod
uct was $500 tons. Two years later II
was 10000 tons Four years later IL was
10000 tons. Last year IL was $4,000 tons,
and the product is on the increase. The

to he paid by the United States govern
ment to sugar producers, with a view of
stimulating the industry and compen-
sating those engaged in it for the
changes made in the duty upon import
ed sugar.
Among scientists the opinion has
been general that a moderate amount of
sugar, like a moderate amount of salt.
should enter into the dietary of the
people OF each nation; but il is only
when the figures of the consumption of
sugar are examined that il is seen that
the quantity consumed varies radically.
and il is q curious fact that in those
countries in which the maritime spirit
the spirit of navigation. commerce.
travel and colonization - is strong,
there is a very considerable consump-
ton of sugar per capita. whereas in
those countries in which these quail
ties are not predominant among the IL.
habitants the consumption is smallsS.
In England, first among the maritime.
nations of the world. the consumpti,ut
of sugar is Sc pounds a year for each
inhabitant. In Denmark il is As, in

of sugar seems to have very little con
n%ection with or relation to the produc-
ton of sugar, for in Austria, the sugar
product of which is large, the average
consumption is only 10 pounds. while
in Switzerland, in which there is no pro-

other curious phase OF the matter Is

a SAILOR PRINCE.
Henry of Prussia and His simpitcity
of ChuPacter

II would be wrong to Judge the char
acter of Prince Henry of Prussia froin
the astounding speeches which he adj
dressed to his brother. the kaiser. on
taking his departure from Germany for
China. In the first place, there Is al
ways a tendency to sentimentality IN
the German character which is entirely
absent in hat of the Engiish-speakinp
races, aud, secondly. the utterunces of
Prince Henry aud Of the kaiser have
been willfully distorted and exagger-
ated in translation.
One instance will suffice. The kaiser
in speaking of his countrymen made use
of the expression the German Mi
chael," "Michael" being the gen
eric slang name for the North
German, just in the saIae way as
Pat" is the kindly nickname of every
freshman, or Tommy Atkins" that of
every English soldier. In English and
American newspapers, however, this
has been rendered just as if the emperor
had ~apostrophized his sailor brother ms
the Archangel Michael.
Prince Henry is the most simple
minded and unaffected of princes in or
binary life, and no better illustration
of this could be afforded than by n
glance at the cabins devoted to his use
on board the ironclad Deutschland,
which are TO be his home for the next
few months. They are distinguished
by an entire absence of s%plendor. The
sleeping cabin in particular is very sim
ply furnished. The bed and chairs are
ship furniture, well worn by service.
The dressing table is of ordinary white
wood, as is the furniture of the dining
room and saloon. In fact, in the bed
room there is nothing to suggest the
rank of the officer. unless IL be the mon
ograms or the backs of the ha,rbrushes.
On the walls hang portraits of the
princes relatives, while a particularly
conspicuous position is accorded to a
series of caricatures of the prince,
which, while mirth-provoking, are GER
tainly not fiattering. The prince on
board is surrounded by zone of that red
tape and formality which one is accus-
toned to associate with foreign royal
families. He is a sailor first and an i'm
perial prince a very long way afterward.

he best to keep curious people out till

Certainly, replied Capt. Welsh; but
the detective went on with a frown:
WAS the door unlocked when you
opened it for the n~ewsboy?
"I-I'm afraid L can't remember" an
swered WILDLY.
That is unfortunate" said Hendricks.
"Where is the body ?"
This way replied WILDLY. 'The
second door on the right"
The detective opened the door, and
the others followed him to the bed.
lie looked long and silently at the face
of the dead man; then he said: HAS
anyone touched this sheet since you dis
covered the murder?"
II drew it down to see where ne was
wounded. If | had thought"
mo natter" replied the detective,
and he lifted the sheet and examined the
cash. Then he replaced it carefully,
and asked: "How was the sheet ar
ranged when you found him?"
Just as il is now, l think" said Whid-
by. 'Just as il the murderer had re-
placed it with both hands, one on each
side, as you did"
"Stand where you are" Hendricks
suddenly ordered. He raised the win
dow-shade, went down on his hands and
knees, and made Il minute examination
of the carpet. Then he rose and sur
veyed the room. where did you sleep?'
he asked,
WILDLY pointed to the portiere. "In
that room"
The detective drew the heavy cur
tains aside.
you came through here this morn
ing?" he asked.
"Yes."
Hendricks locked at Whidby's bed.
"Slept later than usual this morning,
eh?" be asked.
"Yes; | don't know what was the
matter with me i felt heavy-headed
ard dizzy when I awoke."
Capt. Welsh nodded knowingly, but
said nothing.
"You ~telephoned as soon as you dis
covered the body?" Hendricks went on.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1898-02-24

This is Alfred WILDLY, 27s Leighton
avenue"
II know; but what is wrong now?"
II t%elephoned you about the murder
up here. Aren't you going to send some
one to see about it?"
THAT was only n few minutes ago,
Mr.. WILDLY. and it is over two miles.
Capt. Welsh has just left with Mr..
Minard Hendricks, the famous New
York detective, who happens to be in
town"
"Ah. l see" said WILDLY; "the time
drags with me, you know. / am all
alone"
II understand. Good-by."
"Good-by."
The young man turned and walked
round the bed for another look at
Strong's face. Surely, he thought, that
weird smile and the twinkle in the dead
mans eyes we're the most remarkable
things ever connected with a murder
case. lie could not bear to look at the
face. so he went into his own room. lie
wondered what had caused him to over
sleep. liz went 10 his bed and smelt
the pillows to see il he could detect
traces of chlorofurm. He had decided
that he could not have been drugged,
when the bell of a passing car caught
his ear. He knew hat the car had
stopped in front of the house by the
whirring, chromatic sound as it start
ed on again. Then he heard steps on
the veranda and went to the door.
