Curea Her Headache.

On one Of the recent hot nights a
young woman Of Manayunk was suf-
fering from a violent headache, which
made sleeping impossible, says the
Philadelphia Record. To avoid the
heat, and thinking, the fresh air might
ease her head. she sat out on the front
doorstep, using a bottle of ammonia
frequently as smelling salts. A willy
policeman of German extraction espled
the woman at an unssemly hour OF the
morning and imagined that she was
drinking heavily from q bottle or else
intending to commit suicide. After
watching her awhile he emerged from
his hiding place. walked up to the sup
posed suicide and asked her why she
slept on the steps. She replied she
was not sleeping and answered truth
fully as to what she was doing With
the bottle.
Still the willy blueccnt wns not salts
fed and Ii sisted on examining the
bottle. He .ook long. stiff Whit at
the ammonia and was nearly knocked
down. He spluttered and then swore,
The young woman laughed SO hard her
headache was cured.

t&ea the other day when the little town
of Gaasbach, district Of Bastatt, Ba-

and TO every widow IN town. Besides
this, every one gets his fuel free from
the vast forests belonging to the town.

FAMILY FINANCIERING.

They tell me you work for a dollar day!
How is it you clothe your boys such pay?
II know you will think it conceted and queer,
But do it because am good inancier.
There's Pete, John & Jim, Joe William Il Ned,
A half dozen boys to be clothed and fed;
II buy for them all plain victuals to eat,
But clothing buy only for son Pete.
When Petes clothes are too small for him to 60
My wife makes them and gives them to John,
When for John who is ten they have grown out of date
She just makes them for Jim who is eight.
When for Jim they have become too ragged to fix,
She just makes them over for Bill who is six,
And when for young Bill they will no longer do,
She lust makes them over for Ned who is two.
|So you see if get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with clothing complete,
But when Ned got through with the clothing and when
He has thrown them aside what do you do with then?
Why once more we 60 round the circle complete ON
And begin to use them for patches for Pete,
But where dear friend you buy clothes that wear
From Pete down to Ned without rip or tear?
II 90 down to CLICKS his stock is the best,
He can suit the whole family, wife and the rest.

dozen pieces Of coin or dozen to
make one of our pennies in value, so
the Chinese carry the cash, as they
call It, like string Of beads around

than q penny for anything IN this
country. They must pay that which
is worth only the sixth part or the
twelfth part Of q penny. Heathenism
and lniquity and lnfldelitJ depress ey-
erything. The gospel Of Jesus Christ
eleyates everything. How DO l ac-
count for this? I account for It with
the plainest philosophy. The religion
OF Jesus Christ Is democratic re-

is brother to all the operatives in the
establlshment-made by the same God,
to lie in the same dust and to be saved
by the same supreme mercy. 1t does
