wonder When al G. Field finds out
what the people want he gives it to
them, and he found out long ago that
they wanted Tommy Donneily. Tom
is one of those comedians who never
grow old. He may have passed few
milestones in years since he first be-
gan to help entertain the AL G.. Field
audiences, but his humor is as new

be found the same this year. With

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally Over
looked.


Headache is q symptom, an indica.
ton of arrangement or disease in
some organ. and the cause of the
hesdache is difficult to locate because
so many diseases have headache as a
prominent symptom; arrangement of
| the stomach and liver, heart trouble,
kidney disease. lung trouble, eye
strain or ill-ttting glasses all produce
headaches, and if we could always
locate the organ which is at fault the
cure of obstinate headaches would be
a much slump or matter.
However,, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in the forehead. the
cause is now known to be catarrh of
the head tni IN a; when I'll e head
ache is located III the back of the head
and neck it is often caused from Ca
tarrh of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure of the catarrh causes
prompt disappearance of the head
a;hes.
There is at present no treatment
for cItarrh so convenient and effect

them. She says: II suffered daily

The Temples Of silva.

The. shape of the temples of Siva, the
Destroyer, does not differ from those
of the other Indian gods. The chief
entrance into the great temple, says
writer in the Architect is by a high
massive pyramid, the top of Which has
generally the form of crescent; it in
variably faces the east. Beyond the
gate there is a large court, at the far
ther extremity of which another gate
leads through pyramid of less hight.
but of the same form. A small yard
separates it from the temple of the idol.
In the middle of it there is either a
huge bull or linga carved in stone,
a canopy supported by four pillars.
This is the first object of alteration to
the visitors, who then pass through "A
low, narrow door into the inside of the
temple. This door Is the only passage
for light and air, there being no win
dows. A lamp which burns night and
day gives tolerahle light The interior
Of the building is generally divided into
two parts, sometimes into three, the
first of which is the most spacious and
is destined to receive the people; the
second, or the adytum, in which the
idol resides, is much smaller and dark
er, and generally shut, the door being
opened by the officiating priest, who,
with some of his attendants, has alone
the right of entering this mysterious
place for the purpose of washing the
image and dressing and bringing offer
ings to it. This part Is often built in
the shape of a vault, but 1t Is so low
as to make a prolonged stay in it rather
oppressive. 81

Among the Indian tribes is one des-
ignated by the symbol of the dogtish,
painted In red on the face. The vari.
GUS parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface of the
face; the peculiarly long snout Is paint
cd on the forehead, the gills are repre-
sented by two curved lines below the
eyes. while the tail Is shown as cut In
two and hanging from either nostril.
When only one or two parts of an ami
NAL are painted on mans face 1t is an
indication of inferlority; when the
whole animal appears, even though in
many oddly assorted parts, the sign Is
one of great value and indicates a high
rank.
Very popular are some of the honor:
able symbols painted on tie Indians
faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl
of all kinds-dog- salmon, devilish, s,aI+
fish, woodpeckers, eagles, ravens,
wolves, bears, sealions and sea monsters,
mosquitoes. frogs, mountain goats, and
all manner of foot, claw or beak marks

own.-Pearson's Magazine.

GIANT STONE THAT ROCKS.

Argentine Has the Greatest Phenome-
non in the Known World.
One of the great natural wonders of
the world is the rocking stone of Tan
dill, In the Argentine republic. 1t Is To-
Gated about 250 miles south of Buenos
Ayres The rocking stone, which has
made the little town famous through
out Argentina, is the largest phenom-
enon OF Its kind in the world. The giant
mushrooms shaped quartz bowlder
stands upon the summit of some pic
turesque hills 1000 feet in height, three
miles from the outskirts of Tandll. 1t
weighs over 700 tons, and Is so nicely
poised that II rocks in the wind and
may be made by the strength of one
man to crack a walnut. Yet this
bowlder is so firm that, 1t is.sald, one
of the old dictators, Rosas by name,
once harnessed thousand horses to 1t
and was unable to dislodge It.
There are, of course, many such
rocking stones scattered about the

have cross bandage, or rather two
bandages- passing across the fore
head, and round the back of the head,
and the other over the top of the head,
and below the chin. Or, better than
this Is, perhaps, a large handkerchief,
which will extend all over the fore
head and crown, two ends of it pass

thence round the neck, then tying the
other two beneath the chin.
For a bandage to support a pad of
poultice under the arm-pit, a handker-
chief may be used put on as in Fig. 2;
or broad piece of cotton arranged in
the same way. For fracture of the
ribs, bandages should be about nine
inches wide, and drawn round the body
very tightly. In this case, as in that of
any other fracture or disloeation, only
properly qualified person should at

TOLD BY THE OLD CIRCUS MAN,
Giant Has Little Fun on His Own Ac

"Sometimes," said the old circus man,
'the greatest of all giants would have
a little fun on his own account; mebbe
with the bootblacks, ! don't suppose
that anything ever feazed a bootblack
probably he'd offer to black the boots
of man tall as church steeple and
with shoes as big as the meeting house
If one came his way; but anyhow, the
bootblacks used to offer to black the
giants shoes when the great man took
his walk through the town, just as
they would offer to black any mans.
sometimes the giant would look
down on the boy and then at his own
shoes, and then back up against the
sidewall of some building somewhere,
where there was room and no awnings
in the way, and get his shoes blacked.
The giant always considered It a sort
of joke ON the boys TO accept their Of
fer, but the boys never appeared to be
put out. by it; on the contrary, they
were always ready; as they would have
been, asI said, If he had been twice as
big. And it was more fun than you
could shake stick at to see the way
they went at it, and the giant, enjoyed
this as much as anybody.
"Of course, no one box would support
the giants foot, unless he balanced it
on 1t very carefully, and the boy chat
got the job always, invariably, called
in other boys-all the bootblacks in
that town were sure to be right around
there. and I've often seen five boot
