Why She Hae Headaches.

at is so strange, DOCTOR" complained
a woman patient, recently, that when
l have had a perfectly good nights sleep
| should so often wake up with head
ache"
How many pillows do you have under
your head?" asked the physician.
One thin pillow" was the answer.
"Try two fairly thick Ones" the doc
tor advised, adding that many conges-
tive headaches were caused by people
sleeping with their heads too low. The
blood settles in the head, and the suf-
ferer wakes with a dull feeling of throb-
bing pain. Persons subject to catarrhal
headache should be careful to have their
heads high enough at naight.-Harper's

There have been many arguments dur
ING the last few weeks as to whether the
the name of the earthquake smitten
country should be spelled Chill or Chile.
Chile is the Spanish and Chilean form.
The name is commonly explained as an
old Peruvian word for snow, the allusion
being to the Andes, but Chill" has also
been identified as a native South Ameri-
can word, "chiri." meaning cold-which
would make it really the chilly" coun-
trv. As to the meaning of "Ondes" there
is plenty of choice. The word has been
%variously interpreted as signifying the
haunt of the tapir, the region of copper,
the home of the Anti tribe and the site
of the con denes," the Spanish gardens
on the mountain terraces.

RATHER EMBARRASSING
WASHINGTON HAS NOT "AccEPT.
ED" DURAND'S SUCCESSOR.
DRYCE'S APPOINTMENT HELD
Belief That the Retiring Ambassador
Does Not Desire to Go to House
Of Lords.

London, Eng.-The United States
Is causing British o%ffcialdom consid-
cradle embarrassment through its
failure to send in its acceptance of the
appointment of James Bryce as am
bassador to Washington. This must
be received before the official an
nouncement of the appointment can
DO published. The appointment had
been admitted by the foreign office,
and Mr.. Bryce has announced it in a
letter to his constituents, but the proc
lamation of the king is lying on a desk
awaiting a cablegran from Washing
ton. The moment this message is re-
ceived, a special gazette will be is
sued, and formal information sent to
the press. The present occurrence is
most unusual in Great Britain, where
it is very rare for an appointment of
this kind to be made public until its
publication In the gazette.
Sir Henry's Future.
While it is not known what the
cabinet will decide, it is pointed out
that, although Sir Henry is retiring
from Washington, it does not necessa-
rily follow that he will entirely sever
his connection with the imperial serv-
ice.
There is no diplomatic position
open at present." said an official, "but
there are many posts for which Sir
Henry is admirably suited, and it is
more likely that he will take one of
these, rather than go to the house Of
lords"
Nothing has been decided in the
matter of a peerage for James Bryce,
and in this case also the general be-
lief is that he will continue to be
plain Mr.. Bryce, both because of his
own inclination, and because of the
opinion that America would prefer it.

well moistened, and then ironed until
dry, they will have quite enough stiff

thin that they become limp by once using,
take what starch is left after the other
clothes lave been starched and dilute 1T
with water enough to rinse the table
cloth. Dry, sprinkle and iron as usual!
The thinned starch is just enough to
give some body to the soft old linen.-
