Simple Headache Cures.

II you have headaches, or neuralgia,
put your feet in mustard and water for
fifteen minutes.
A neuralgia headache is most fire.
quently felt across the forehead and
sometimes at the back of the head.
and generally arises from cold caught
in bad tooth, which affects the
nerves on that side of the face. If the
pain be in the forehead, relief may be
obtained by placing a mustard leaf for
twenty minutes on the nape of the
neck or by the side of the eye just
over the temple. A piece OF brown
paper soaked in vinegar and sprinkled
thickly with pepper and laid over the
painful spot is also a homely but
sometimes effective remedy. 1t
should be kept on until the paper be.
comes dry, when it should be removed
and applied until the pain is relieved.
Precaution must be taken not to catch
fresh cold after this.
Another form of neuralgia COM
mences with little specks dancing be-
fore the eyes, the pain seeming to be
confined to exactly one-half the head
or face. A violent sickness usually
accompanies this headache, but no re-
lief is obtained by vomiting. Hot
water applications are the best for
these attacks. Pour boiling water
over a square of flannel, and wiring it
out tightly in towel to avoid scald-
ing the hands. Place it over the seat
of pain. Have ready another square
of flannel, and treat in the same way,
applying it as soon as the first piece
begins to get cold. Continue this pro-
cess without ceasing until the pain is
relieved.

as to bring out clearly all decorative
lines, balconies, turrets, pillars and

palace are to be a chime of sixty-four
bells and a powerful organ played by
compressed air. Above these, and
crowning the whole, will perch

Different Husbands,

There are numbers of degrees of
usefulness or uselessness to be noted
among the heads of households. There
is the man who becomes pursly orna-
mental after leaving business; he has
nothing to do after leaving the Office
till bedtime but smoke, read and en-
joy himself. After working all day he
very rightly says he does not want to
be bothered, and while his wife may
make bright little tale out OF the
delinquencies OF the servants or the
children to amuse him, she must not
take them tragically after 6 o'clock
M.
There is the husband who helps.
Perhaps his wife is saving off a shelf
for a closet and he sees her. "Let me
do that, my DEAR" he says, it is not
fit work for you'll" Very gladly she
relinquishes the task and in ten min.
utes he is calling up the stars, Molly
just come and show us how the
wretched thing works. l can't make
it CO." Or, perhaps, he thinks he
can paper room. He gets it hall
done, the paper crooked and in
wrinkles, and then he gets tired and
the room remains as it is, unless his
wife hires a paper-hanger. 1t is wiser
not to let him do the gas-fitting in
your new house unless you intend to
60 to bed at dark, otherwise you are
likely to be asphyxiated.
There is also the reckless and un.
tidy man. In many ways he is to be
preferred to the neat and fussy man
though his chitfonier drawers are al.
ways in a jumble OF handkerchiefs
ties, fishing tackle, stockings and
brushes. He is generally lovable
man and has plenty of willing slave.

The tomato trained to grow upward
instead of sprawling over the ground
is Of much better flavor, more orna-
mental, takes less room and is more
satisfactory every way, either for the
home or for market, says writer in
the Farm, and Fireside. We Gull the
following instructions from letter
from one who has tested the method
most successfully: Drive a stake
seven feet long Tor little less for
some kinds) where the plant is to
grow. Let nothing but leaves grow
below the first setting. After you
have one good setting of tomatoes let
the plant "iork." That gives two
main stems. Let no more shoots
grow until at least two settings on
each branch are formed. Then let
them fork again. Keep all shoots be-
low these trimmed off. Go over them
carefully once or twice a week. After
September l, as frosts are liable to oc-
cur, cut off unsparingly all shoots and
tops of main branches. Remember
that at the base of each leaf comes out
branch. This stem at the leaf is the
one to keep trimmed off. The bios
som is on the main stem. This leaf
sprnut will sometimes come out again
and must again be cut off. Only by
severe trimming can the best results
be obtained. Thirty-two good-sized
tomatoes have been counted on one
stalk at one time, and this after the
bottom bunch had ripened and was
gone. Plant as closely as three feet
each way. The plant, if left on the
ground, may cover ten feet and have
fewer inferior tomatoes. Should early
frost threaten, the staked plant should
be protected by blanket till mature,
which would be impossible on the
pround
