ed TO the parsonage by the amiable
Mrs. Adams. The twins were very
fond of pear preserves. and had been
looking forward to eating these on
their approaching birthday. They
were doomed to disappointment The
three had a merry little feast, after
all, aud their laughter rang out so
often and so unrestrainedly that the
twins shook In their beds with rage
and disappointment.
1t speaks well for the courage Of
Baboie. and the attractions of Fairy,
that he came TO the parsonage again
and again. In time he became the
best of friends with the twins them
selves, but he always called them "the
adorableS," and they never asked him
why. The punishment, inflicted upon
them by Prudence ranked in their
memories for many months.
The offenSe was against Fairy"
said Prudence, with soIemnity she
did not feel. "and the reparation must
be done 70 her For three weeks you
must do all of her bedroom work. and
run every errand she requires. More
over, YOU must keep her shoes well
cleaned and nicely polished, and must
do every bit of her darning"
The twins would have preferred
whipping 4 thousand times. They felt
they had got q whlpping's worth of
pleasure out Of their mischief! But a
punishment like this sat heavily upon
their proud young shoulders. and from
that tine on they neld Fairy practi-
caIly immune from their pranks-
Prudence did not bother her head
about etiquette after that experience.
I'm strong for comfort" she declared,

MANY CAUSES OF HEADACHE
Sufferer From Annoying Complaint
Can Generally Make Correct dag
nosis of :.is Particular Case.

Early morning headaches may be
due to many causeS-eye strain, kid
ney trouble, dissipation, too much
smoking, overeating of proteins, ex-
cessive mental labor or too high blood
pressure. The Medical Record quotes
some observations by the French Doc
tor RenOn, which extended over Is
years, and In which he found in many
cases excessively high blood tension.
When the persistent headaches are
so severe that they unfit the sufferer
for work, it is generally found that his
heart is enlarged and his kidneys are
affected. Such cases, often speedily
terminate fatally, but intensive treat
ment will alleviate the symptoms. The
Medical Record says coal-tar deriva-
tives and tobacco must be shut off.
The patient must have mental rest !;
he must go on a purely milk diet for
at least week, after which he may
eat fruits and vegetables ON certain
days for two weeks more. A light,
low protein regimen follows for sew
eral weeks.

Mark Alexander of Roanoke, Va, an
American, who was within short
stride of death during a battle at the
Dardanelles. He was fighting In a
trench with Xix other men, and was
just ready to hurl a trench-bomb
which he had fixed so as to be ready
for explosion when a bullet from the
Turks hit his hand, causing the bomb
to explode. He lost both his hands
and his left eye, and his clothes were
stripped from his body by the explo-
sion. He had the presence of mind to
bend over and stop the conclusion of
the shell, thus preventing his COM
rades from being MORALLY wounded.
He is thirty years old and left for Eng
land in 1915. He was in hospital II
months recovering from his wounds.
Alexander has been decorated with a
medal of honor by King George and
also been recommended for the Vic
torian cross.

Facts About the Eye.

There are any number of different
nerves and musclesewhich must work
in harmony, or vision will be defective.
The great switchboard controlling all
these motions must act Immediately,
making the proper connections between
the brain which is calling for a num-
Der, and the many wires which have
TO act to connect all of the nerves and
muscles which must focus the eye upon
the object to be seen. The eyeball must
be turned in the proper direction, so
that the light strikes the pupil properly
and the pupil itself must expand o..
contract according TO the distance OF
the object, in order TO see 1t clearly.
