Troubles

The immediate causes of headaches
▼ary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anaemia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
icolds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
itbo nerves and produces pain. In rheu
jmatism, malaria and the grip, the poison
du the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in tho system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
lof the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
ion the contrary thoroughly renew the
'blood and the pain disappears perma
nently. Women in particular have found
'these pills an unfailing relief in head
iaches caused by anaemia.

Williams' Pink Pills did mo u great deal

''I saw in a southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured '
of a like trouble by Dr. Williams'Pink

A very rich lady offered Garcia any
price if he would only teach her
daughter. He refused, knowing well
he could never obtain serious work
from her, but, as the mother persist
ed, he hit upon a compromise. He
asked the ladies to be present during
a lesson, and he undertook if the girl
still wished to learn singing after
hearing it taught, to teach her. The
lesson began. The pupil, who seemed
to the listeners an already finished
singer, had to repeat passage after
passage of the most difficult exercises
before the master was satisfied. He
insisted upon the minutest attention
to every detail of execution. Mother
and daughter exchanged horrified
glances and looked on pityingly. The
lesson finished, the master bowed the
ladies out, and in passing the pupil
the young girl whispered to her. "It

Old English Labor Customs.
In his "History of Coal Mining," R.
W. Galloway points out that what ap
pear to be traces of a primitive state
of servitude existed in Staffordshire,
where the laborers employed in the
haulage of coal continued to be known
as "bondsmen"—a name probably
coming clown from a remote period; a
supposition which receives support
from a peculiar service required of
them, known as "buildases." This
consisted in working at times in the
morning without receiving any pay
ment beyond a drink of ale. This cus
tom of exacting labor without pay is
supposed to represent some ancient
service required from their tenants
by the monks of the Abbey of Build

was derived.

BEGGING AS A BUSINESS.
Thousands of "Professionals" Make
Good Living.
The "profession" of the beggar is
now as well established as the "pro
fession" of the thief, says the New
York Commercial. At the lowest es
timate there are 120,000 "profes
sional" beggars in the United States.
No beggar in New York makes less
than $5 a day, according to some re
cent newspaper estimates. They rej
ceive contributions varying from oni
penny to $25. Some of them are ex4
perts in their lines and play only tot
donations of $5 and $10 and upward,
telling plausible stories of unpaid
rents, dying wives and starving chil
dren, of funeral expenses and other
harrowing experiences that appeal to
the sympathies of tender-hearted hu
manity.
During the ten weekdays of the
holiday season, therefore, the amount
of alms collected by this gentry prob
ably runs up to at least $120,000.
THIEF" PROVED AN ALIBI,
Adroitly Turned Tables on Surprised
Woman and Saved His Dignity.
Woman's inability to identify an as
sailant was curiously proved recently,
says the New York World, when a vic
tim of circumstances that were em
barrassing, not to say, incriminating,
contrived by remarkable presence of
romd and no less wonderful agility to
neatly extricate himself from what
might have been the deadly conse
quences of an innocent adventure.
It was in a Harlefn apartment
house. The young man occupies an
apartment on one of the upper floors.
While gazing from his window the
idea flashed through his brain that in
case of fire there might be some dif
ficulty in reaching the ground. He
concluded that over the roof would be
the only feasible means, and promptly
started to explore. Buttoning his coat
and pulling his hat down over his
eyes, to avoid the glare, he stepped
out on the fire escape and began to
mount.
In passing a window a story or two
above he was paralyzed to behold a
woman in deshabille standing in the
window. '
She was no less startled than he.
Shouting "Thieves! Murder! Police!
Fire!" she dashed into the hall, rang
every bell within reach and put the
house in an uproar.
The discomfited gentleman on the
fire escape almost fell down the nar
row iron ladder into his own apart
ment, threw off his hat and coat,
rushed into the corridor and hastened
upstairs, three at a time, to help the
screaming lady above.
He was one of the first on the
scene; heard her tearful story of the
burglar who had been about to climb
in her window, and breathing dire
threatenings made the most thorough
—and vain—search for that bold, bad
man.
She thought him so sympathetic.
The alibi was complete.

Innocence of the Heron.
"The heron is becoming scarcer
each summer season about the
marshes and lake shores," said an
old-time hunter to a representative of
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "I
remember drawing a bead on one

and elegance of attitude, together
with its majesty and graceful play

"The innocence of this water fowl
respecting danger is exceptionally no
ticeable, and when it skips in the
shallow water striking at fish with its
long, sharp-pointed bill it is directed
by a keen watchfulness. The heron
is the most beautiful of all the

Scotch Dominie's String Music.
The new minister was breaking the
Sabbath. There could be no doubt
of that, for the little Scotch hamlet
had been scandalized two Sundays
running by unmistakable sounds of
stringed music from the hitherto si
parsonage, says the London
lent
Chronicle. A deputation of elders
waited upon the erring divine. In
silence he heard their pained accusa
tion, in silence brought out a large
old double bass viol, and proceeded
to drone out a hymn tune. The cir
cle of elders grew shamefaced, as
they listened. The tune ceased, and
their leader had an Inspiration.
"Aweel, meenister," he exclaimed
with unction, "we didna ken it was

a sharp click. They know how to
open a fan with a graceful flirt and
to close It with a soft swish. In the

Investigation of the Packers.
Very general interest has been man
ifested in the government investiga
tion now in progress into the mode of
conducting business by the large pack
ers located in Chicago and elsewhere.
Much has been written upon the al
leged illegal and Improper modes of
business procedure connected with the
packing Industry; but it seems that so
far no definite charge of any kind has
been sustained and no proof of Illegal
or Inequitable methods has been dis
closed to the public. While a wave of
severe criticism of this great indus
trial interest is now passing over the
country it might be well to remember
that the packers have had as yet no
opportunity to make specific denial,
the many indefinite charges of wrong
doing having never been formulated
so that a categorical answer could be
made.
The recent report of Commissioner
Garfield, which embodied the results
of an official Investigation undertaken
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor of the United States, was a vin
dication of the Western packers, but
this result having been unexpected at
tempts in many quarters to discredit it
were made.
In view of the situation as it now
stands, however, attention may proper
ly be called to a few facts that owing
to popular clamor are now being ap
parently overlooked. Fair treatment
in this country has heretofore been ac
