A disagreeable and disfgu:irg cold
in the head may be greatly relieved in
one night by the following precautions:
Have hot water convenient at the side
of your bed IAN alcohol lamp will help
you), take goodsized piece of old
flannel and dip it in the water as hot as
can be borne, and lay on your nose and
forehead. A large Turkish towel over
this will help retain the heat. Leave
the towel on while renewing the hot
water, and the longer the cloths are
held on the better. When soothing
sleep finally comes bind flannel band
age over the upper part of the nose and
forehead all night, and you will be sur
prised at the change in your feelings
and appearance the next day. If you
are not better remain indoors next day,
with a lighter band over your fore
head, being careful not to expose your
self to draughts in the meantime.-St

FRAGRANT SALTS.
A Popular Article That May he
Very Easily Made at
Home.

A bottle of choice perfumed salts is
always a popular article and it is easily
made at home. Purchase pound of
the very best carbonate of ammonia
from a trusty druggist and three
ounces of the purest English oil of Law
ender. This amount of ingredients will
fill large number of bottles. Select at
a wholesale dealers at least dozen
bottles of proper size, with broad
mouths and close glass shoppers. 1t is
essential that they be of clear white
glass, but they will not be expensive
Select also as many corks as necessary
to fit the bottles. Crush the ammonia
a little and mix it thoroughly with the
Oil of lavender. Divide the lavender
evenly through the salt. Fill the bot
ties, which should each hold about an
ounce and quarter of the salts. Cork
them and set them in pan of warm
water and in warm oven, where their
contents will gently heat. If the heat
is too great, however, the corks will be
driven out of the bottles In about two
hours lift them out of the oven and let
them gradually cool. Remove the corks
and replace them with the glass stop
pers. Tie on the shoppers with pretty
lavender ribbon of narrow width.-N

wANDERINGs OF OLD COINS.

been in pretty constant circulation
ever since. Think what a volume of
trade that represents. If it purchas ed

certainly a modest estimate, it has

Gus things have happened to it in It's
journeyings. 1t has been borrowed
and stolen, and lost and lent; it has
been boarded by misers and squan-
dered by prodigals, and who knows
how often it has been the last coin in
the pocket of a suicide? 1t must have
lain on gaming tables, and ratified in
church boxes, and held down the eye

in what far countries it has travelled,

KEEPING WHISKY FROM REDS.
1t Is Now Almost Impossible to Smug-
gle Liquor Into the Indian
Territory.

The United States government has a
Wonderful antipathy toward he intro
AUCTION of whisky into the Indian ter
ritory, and necessarily, afterward, into
the Indians. 1t is an old story of the
love of an Indian for whisky-it sur
passes all other love. An Indian with
a pint of fire water under his breech
clout is an element that disturbs the
natural serenity of the beautiful In
dian territory scenery; he longs for
scalps, which passion the government
has long endeavored to stamp out.
But whisky occasionally gets into the
indian territory. There are 100 many
railroads running through it to keep
whisky away altogether. The man who
takes the seductive fluid irto that
country, even most innocently to cure
his own snake bites, runs a risk that
IS not to be disregarded. The country
IS full of United States marshals and
their deputies and possemen. A United
States marshal's posseman has nose
FOR whisky longer than that OF Cyrano
De Bergerac. There are fees and things
connected with finding whisky in the
indian territory. And yet there can
be no doubt that the adjustment of
.sxhisky from the Indian territory is a
good thing and has saved many white
mans back hair.
Passengers going through Indian ter
itory have had their valises opened
and their whisky taken from them
and their bodies thrown into Jail before
now. The only safe way to import
whisky into that country is in ones
own comfortable and impenetrable in
'ides. Otherwise it may be found, and
then there is trouble. A respectable
American citizen recently had his va
Use ravished by a United States dep
lty marshal in the Creek nation and
4 half pint of whisky cost him nearly
5000 before he was safe and free.
On the Choctaw railroad recently an
assignment of whisky was discovered
oy a shrewd deputy marshal. The eX-
press company landed truck load of
,ases marked ''cod liver OIL from the
Express car one day. Ore of The cases
came down heavily and broke. A
small brown stream issued from its
cracks. Everyone smelled it. The dep
nty marshals nose was no keener than
The others. A half dozen boxes on the
truck were so alike that the marshal
broke all open and five jugs Of whisky
fell to his lot. Each of these he broke
with crack of his heel and tbs hungry
sand drank the brown fluid up. Sur
rounding the sacrifice were grouped
lean white men, whose jaws drooled
for the liquor that the sand licked up,
and blanket Indians would have given
a moccasin colored pony for sip.
When you go to Indian territory leave
your flask behind, because Otherwise
you are likely to go to Jail. Red men
and red liquor cannot mix without
trouble.-Kansas City Star.
