Headaches from Paint

At this season, when houses are being
painted everywhere. a great many head
aches are suffered by those who have to
breathe the fumes of paint. A preventive
OF these headaches was indicated by
painter yesterday. IF your bedroom is be-
ing painted" he said, land you sleep In
Il while it's walls are wet, or IL your sit
ting room is being painted and you work
in It, headache is almost inevitable and
with some persons this headache is so seri-
Gus as to confne them to their rooms for
several days. Such Illness might be easily
avoided. In the newly painted room
basin of milk should be placed. The milk
somehow will deaden the paints odor and,
since 1t is odor that causes the illness, no
headache will ensue. After a few hours
the milk will have a distinct smell of paint
about 1t. A basin of water In a fresh
painted room is another preventive of
odOrs and of headaches. The water, after
a little while in such q room. acquires an
oil scum" m."-PhiladeIphia Record.

Sea Serpent Seen

Second Mate Gray Of the steamer Tresco,
who arrived at Port Richmond from San
tiago, says he has seen a sea serpent He
is backed by Captain w. II. Bartlett, who
says:
81 got a glimpse of the serpent myself.
1t was ninety miles south of Hatteras on
our way up that Gray first noticed school
of sharks They were rusning madly. Mr..
Gray watched more closely and right be-
hind them saw what seemed to be a dere-
lict. He steamed toward 1t. We got as
near 1t perhaps as 100 feet, when II suddenly
reared from the water, and Mr.. Gray and
the watch were Mortified to gaze on a mon
ster such as they had never seen before
Supported on neck that rose above
the water fully fifteen feet was the head OF
a dragon, with two monster tusks like
those of a walrus protruding from its
mouth. Apparently II was about 100 feet
long, with a body similar TO a snake
tapering to dragon-shaped tail
Gray called me, and l caught a glimpse
of 1t as 1t was lashing its way through the
water."-Philadelphia Press.

Such an Easy Way

How is your fund for that new carpet
for the church getting along?"
"Splendidly. We still lacked SIS, you
know, before we gave that entertainment.
We worked like Trojans on that for two
weeks. You remember 1t rained the night
we gave IT, and the attendance was rather
small, but we had sold enough tickets by
going around TO the peoples houses to in
sure us against loss, and we made SA7b
out of 1t. Then we got up that baEar for
the sale of fancy goods and we realized
$3465 out of that. All we have TO do now
to complete the fund is to raise $3.50, and
we are going to give a concert to get that.
Some of us have musical friends that will
be glad to help us out by giving their
time one evening for nothing. Wen raise
that SIS, just as we said we would, without
calling on anybody for a cent. nt."-Chicago

An Alabama Hermit
Continued from Page Fourteen)

Continued from rage cOuEbSSh'J
In an hours time the two yachts were
standing out board and board over the
shallow bar which guards the entrance to
the Bayou Secours. Then we slipped out
through the channel between Dauphin
Island and Fort Morgan, and lifted to the
swing of the outer sea, running east along
the Gulf coast Night had fallen before we
made the creek, and we tackled in over the
bar by blazing moonlight, with center boards
up, and the breeze eddying light and fitful
through the trees. That night we took
the rifles and the bulls-eye lanterns and
shot a dozen alligators by way of giving
ourselves countenance.
OF course Miss Wilcoxn did go to see
Atcheson. 1 took her to the island myself,
through an intolerahle maze of lakes and
waterways, and told the Van Sciaks that
we hoped to slay alligators by daylight,
which is probably the baldest excuse
grown man with a pretty invention ever
made. But shall give the girl credit for
one thing-she didn't stay talking to the
fellow for more than ten minutes. When
she came hack, and we rowed on she
found cause to comment that Atcheson was
a curious handful
'I told you that before" said. Now,
you've learnt it for yourself trust you're
satisfied?"
II am entirely, Mac. hope you are too?"
"I don't know about that. But 1 do
know I'm extremely hot"
well, then. hurry and get back and I'll
fix you up a mint julep. We've ice on
board. and all the other necessaries, and
MT. Van Sciak has shown me how to use
a swizzle-stick. He saiG It might come
in useful, as 1 had thoughts of settling
down."
80 I've been given to understand As
you have not had my congrs tulations be-
fore, please accept them now in all full
ness. I suppose I'm scratched from the
running now?"
"COm-plete-ly. my dear boy. We've no
tastes in common. For instance. except
for perhaps once, loathe alligator
hunting"
And so we went back, and was re-
warded, not with one julep only, but sew
eraI.
The Van Sciaks wanted 20 go to Missis-
sippi sound next day, and as the other
man and I were bound for Pensacola, in
Florida, the yachts separated, and ! did
not see Miss WilcOxn again for some time
But I heard of some of her dongs which,
to say the least of them, seemed eccentric
Also which was worse, they were un-
worldly. Young men with culture and
ten million dollars are not to be picked up
every day: nor should they be thrown
lightly aside.
But when I got back to New York. and.
to my establishment, saw Atcheson there,
then n light began to dawn upon me He
had n frOclI coat down to his heels,
and the last gift of the gods in the way
of hat and tie. He shook me by the hand
and said l was a great man. He explained
to me how a hermit cannot heTmitize un-
less he has a disease vulgarly known as
the hump"
IT'S enjoyable enough while you have
that" said Atcheson, but when the hump
goes, the bottoms knocked out of the
hermit business altogether. What n filthy,
squalid brute I must have been all that
time"
"Dut you liked It we'll enough"
II believe I did, I'm my morbid way But
it's over and done with now, thank heaven!

cr.vv.ome Find mt Topeka.

Topeka, Kan, June 27.-Six human
skeletons were yesterday found in a
hole washed out by the water just
west of North Topeka. They are not
the remains of food victims, as the
evidences which they bear closely
show. and how they came to be there
is mystery to all who have seen
them. They were evidently burieq
there by some one and unearthed by
the water. which washed out huge
hole in which the bones were found.

and the Maine officer promptly told him he was under arrest. But the Yankee soldier hotly protested against the outrage. Said he: "No; I prom ised him if he would come over he should go back, and he is going. I am to blame in this matter and not he, and I'm the one to be punished" Aft CT hearing the explanations the officer allowed the Johnnie" to go back to his camp, and the Maine trooper was sent to headquarters to give an ac- count of his strange conduct. "Well," said he, "I always did want to shake the hand of a real live rebel before he had been tanned. Now I've done it and am satisfied"
 On the eve of Thanksgiving the Army of the Potomac broke camp and crossed the Rapidan to seek battle with Lee. Meade intended to surprise Lee at Orange Court House, a point twenty miles from the place of cross ing, but rainy weather came on, and parts of the field of operation were turned into impossible swamps. At the end of two days the Federals were lined up on the. east bank of Mine run, tributary of the Rapidan, with Lee on the west bank in the shelter of intrenchments. The works which the Confederates had hastily built seemed so slight that Meade ordered an at- tack all along the line the morning of Nov. 30 at o'clock.
 Meanwhile General G. K. Warren had been sent out with flanking col umn to ascend Mine run, pass it's head waters and strike down the west bank, rolling up tha Confederate line like a scroll. Owing to the swamps formed by the heavy rains Warren's march was long delayed. Withdrawing from the position already taken up on the
