Pain in the Head

Is a danger signal, warning you that the brain nerves are exhausted-irritated, and are undergoing an unnatural strain.
 Frequent and prolonged at- tacks of pain weaken the gen. eratlve power of the nerve cells of the brain, and lead to loss of memory, melancholy, spasms, epilepsy, and frequent ly insanity.
 When the brain nerves are weakened they are unable to supply sufficient nerve force to the nerves that control the lungs; heart, stomach and other organs, and these organs are thus robbed of energy, and unable to meet the demands upon them, ,and they get sick.
 Stop the head pains with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the influence upon your general health will be greater than you can realize.

SPONTANEOUS COMPLEMENT. 6,
If Was None the Less Genuine Beeause It Had Cost the GiveR .
 Whipping.

A little group of ladies seated on hotel piazza were talking about com oliments they had received, when one, ] very pretty young woman, who Is teacher in private school in this city, told her story.
 'sThree years ago." she said, "1 taught my first school, in one of the mountain districts of West Virginia, where had gone to visit some friends who were interested in the timber business. I had only gone to visit, but had just graduated from normal school, and when an opportunity was offered for me to teach, and there was real need of some one who knew some thing of modern methods, agreed to try it for one term. I got along very well, all things considered, and liked it well enough, except that found 1t absolutely necessary to punish some of the scholars with the rod. Out of this fact grew my compliment, which, am sure, was the sincerest one 1 ever re- ceived. Among my scholars was big boy of 1T, lazy, numbering, good-na- tured lad, who whispered so much in school and paid so little attention to being kept in that at last told him If he whispered again would whip him.. He promised me that he would not offend again, and for three whole days he kept his promise. On the morning of the third day appeared at school in new gown, which was the most becoming one, think. 1 ever had, and when the scholars saw me they seemed to be as pleased with my appearance as was, and all the girls came to tell me what 8 pretty dress I had and how nice looked. The boys were more shy, and whatever they thought they kept to themselves. The big boy wasn't there when school opened, but before the fye-minute al lowance was up he came numbering in and, hanging up his hat, rolled ove1 into his seat and picked up book. didn't notice him at first, but later saw that my new gown had attracted him, and that he was admiring 1t, fo he was unskilled in the conventional ties, and made no effort to conceal hi feelings. Once or twice caught hi eye and he looked away, but not fo long, and at last it began to annoy me At the same time he seemed to me mak ing a tremendous effort of some kim that I did not understand, and finally right while I was looking at him, b reached over to the boy in the seat be hind him and whispered something.
 "I was an open violation of the rule and, besides, was a fragrant disregar of his word, and I called him up a once.
 Henry said, with all the severft I could muster, weren't you whisper ing just then? s>l
 "'Yes'm,' he confessed, with his Aea down.
 "You know it is against the rule9'
 "'Yes'm.'
 "'And you know that you promise me that you would not whisper again
 "'Yes'm.'
 "'Well,' I said, getting better hel on my hickory switch, I shall keep n word better than you have yours, an as told you would whip you for whit pering I am going to do ita Havc yd

 Are you sorry now for what you did?' I asked, when it was over.
 "'No'm,' he answered, greatly to my surprise.
 "'You're not?' exclaimed, taking up the switch again, but Henry never finched.
 !" Nom; I couldn't help it, ma'am.'
 Couldn't help it? Of course you could help it. You're not a child and ought to set better example. The children might say that, but you can not offer as an excuse that you could not help it.
