Prevent
As Well As Cure
Headache
If subject to headache, take
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills when
you feel the first indication of
an attack, and you will find
that they rarely ever fail to
stop further progress.
Pain weakens the nerves, and
the longer you suffer, the more
frequent will be the attacks.
On the contrary, if the
nerves are relieved of this
weakening influence, the at
tacks will be less frequent, and
► finally disappear altogether.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
contain no opium, cocaine, mor
phine or chloral in any form.
They are absolutely harmless
•if taken as directed, and will
^ have no other effect, except to
drive out the pain.
“Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are all
right, and I can recommend them to
any one in need of a remedy for head
ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind.
► My health is not very good, and I am
subject to frequent attacks of severe
headache, but since I began taking
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills l do not
sulTer from that trouble as t used to. ' J
They never fail to give relief in a few
minutes, and if taken promptly on the
approach of headache will prevent an
attack from coming on. Pain Pills
prevent, as well as cure.”

(ANTIQUE FURNITURE AGAIN. J
Bedroom Coffers of the Kiddie Af*I
▲re in Use Among the
Fashionables. .
' - T
The feminine world Is again taking to)
the use of stately and artistic coffer^ ok
chests, reports the Washington Star.
The dames of the middle ages, who
had no convenient bureaus in which to
store their linear, were dependent upon
the coffer. Some of these historic chests
are marvels of delicate carving, Inlay
work and painting. The greatest artists
of Italy did not disdain to decorate these
receptacles.
So valuable were some of the coffers
that a great lady was considered well
dowered if she received one on her mar
riage day. It was placed in her cham
ber, with the great bedstead and a stool
or two, which were the sole furnishings.
Toward the dote of the eighteenth cen
tury coffers were all but discarded. Un
til recently specimens were to be found
only in the museums or old castles and
manor houses of Europe.
Now the taste for antique furniture
Is bringing the coffers again into favor.
Two seen recently were made for the
state rooms of yachts. They are both
carved and tinted.
One chest is built of weathered oak,
deeply carved and then stained in green
and red. The design represents mer
maids sporting In the midst of an ocean
forest Seaweeds and shells are the most
conspicuous features in the picture.
The other coffer Is of oak, having a
gray finish. It is decorated with a burnt
design. Green and mauve stains are ,
used to touch up the figures. The sub
ject of these decorations is a scene at
the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom coffers are usually adorned
with flowers, birds, butterflies or some
allegorical or mythological scene. One i
small boudoir chest has representations
of Penelope among her maidens upon its
panels. Through open windows the
sprays of the climbing roses are blown
Into the room and the flowers with the
garments of the women are brilliantly
colored.

some of the antique chests, and these
have been- well imitated by modern
workmen. The painted panel is set deep
in the wood and framed by a wide band
of molding. Carved figures, supporting
the corners, and elaborately designed
lids are features of the painted chests.
The most ancient designs are the !
heavily carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to a nicety the age of a chest by the
style of carving and quality of the wood, i
The earlier Renaissance specimens are j
almost priceless, and even coplea of
them are expensive. In appearance they
are not unlike a coffin. There is usually
a richly carved base, the long shallow
body above it being slightly curved. The
lid projects over the body, and is less
deeply cut than the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which is more frequently
copied, is embellished with small panels,!
on which appear conventionalized foil- j
age designs in line work. The shading
is burnt Into the wood. 1
Gilded and enameled coffers are also
to be seen, but they are eighteenth cen
tury work and represent the period of
decadence. |
The modern household coffer Is usual- I
ly lined with silk or an art fabric. Plenty j
of tiny pocket* are scattered over the
lining, and in these are placed sachet# j
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chests are convenient receptacles j
for linen, bedclothes, draperies or gar
ments not in use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetime. They
are distinctly decorative, and may be
. made to fit any vacant niche in a email
room. The price varies with the style
of decoration and wood. Some are com
paratively inexpensive, while others,
good imitations of the carved antique
chest or the gilded and enameled eight
eenth century masterpieces, are valued
as are most works of art.
HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Green Sailor Boy Wanted to See One,
and He Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A. waterspout Is one of the first things
a green sailor boy wants to see. He has
read about it as one of the wonders of
the sea, and it rouses his keenest curi
osity. He gets the old sailors to promise
to call him when one is sighted. They

er, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down into tropical wa
ters, and the boy is told that a water- j
spout may come along almost at any
time.
One night he is awakened suddenly.
A.n old sailor shakes him.
, "Come on! Hurry up, young feller;
there’s a waterspout on the starboard
bow bearing right down on us.’’
The boy hastens up the companion
way without waiting to dress, and aa
he darts out on aecK ne 13 tnrown down
by a mas3 of water descending on him
liku a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feet, gasping, sputtering:
"Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?”
The sailors are around him roaring.
Then he looks up above the companion
way and sees an empty hogshead. Having
seen and felt the waterspout, he descends
to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
in. Next time waterspouts in great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
he will have no particular desire to ob
serve them.
Baby's Eyelashes.
Some mothers clip the baby’s eye
lashes to make them grow long. This
may be all right for the baby, but after
maturity has been reached it is perhaps
betetr to rub a little pure ointment or
plain vaseline into the lashes rather
than US clip the ends.—Medical Talk. |
pDD FANCIES ABOUT BEES.
Old-Time Belief That Honey Was ot
Celestial Origin and Other
Queer Notions.
la these days of scientific bee cul
ture, when bees are trained to pack
their honey in pound boxes ready for
market, and are as much under the
control of the beetnaster as sheep are
of their shepherd, it is difficult to
realize what quaint delusions prevailed
only a fsw centuries beck In every
thing relating to the hive and its In
habitants, says tbs Chicago Dally
News. The sources and composition
of honey ware subjects for many in
genious speculations. One old writer
affirms It to be "made ot the ayre.
most of all at the rising of the stance,
chiefly the dogge shining out early la
the morning," although he admits him
self in doubt as to "whether it be the
sweets of the heavens or a certains
■pittle of the stance or a Juyce that the
eyre purgeth from hlmselfe." This be
lief In the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
apiculture, from the time of Virgil
downward. It was supposed to be a
kind of manna from heaven, and ita
quality depended greatly on the favor
able or unfavorable juxtaposition of the
■cars at the time of Its descent.
Although the existence in each hive
of one bee much larger than all the
others was generally recognized In old
en times, this was believed to be mere
ly a ruler or king over the rest. That
the large bee was actually the mother
of the whole colony never seems to
have occurred to anyone until recent
times. This king bee is very fanci
fully described as having “a lofty pace
and countenance expressing majesty,
and a white spot in his forehead glis
tening like a diadem.” In each hive,
also, there were “subordinate govern
ors and leaders and captains and
colonels, marked by crests, tufts or tas
sels on their heads, some yellow, some
murrey.” Among various other duties
it was the king’s part to go out each ■
evening in search of any bees that had
not returned to the hive by sunset, and !
to show them the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap
pears to have been held in extraor
dinary favor as a universal specific for j
human ills. As a hair restorer it was
largely recommended, rubbed In plen
tifully night and morning, and If dead
bees were dried, pounded and worked
up into a thick paste with the honey,
its hair-producing capabilities were
much enhanced. This mess had to be
plastered on the bald places of the head
ever night, with infallible results In
the morning, If one may credit a cer
tain fifteenth century writer. For
weak eyes the same authority says to
take a handful of the heads of bees,
burn them, and mingle the ashes wltb
honey gathered in the dog days. Ths
•yes were then anointed liberally with
the mixture, and dearness of vision
was the invariable reward.
In the old days the situation of a
beehive was a matter of prime impor
tance. It was to be placed always on
the south side of a stream of water,
and never in a place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious
to bees. A little gravel was to be put
down in the neighborhood of the hives,
as in windy weather the bees needed
small stones to carry about in their
Sight as counterpoises. The bmkeeper
was recommended to shave and keep
his head close-cropped, long hair on
head or face being extremely offensive
to his charges, and in attire he was to
avoid anything of a red color, as this
was detrimental to the bees.
CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form
ing a Serpent-Like Mams
When Migrating.
The Sdaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny
wormlike creature which is found la
the forests of Norway and Hungary dur
ing the month of July or early in August
gather in huge numbers preparatory to
migrating in search of food or for a
Change of conditions. When setting out
on this Journey, says Nature, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous matter, and form a huge ser
pentllke mass, often reaching a length
of between 40 and 50 feet and several
Inches in thickness. As the scaria is
only on an average of about three-thir
ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num
ber required to form a continuous line
of the size above mentioned is incal
culable.
Their na:° is, of course, very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe over
or around it, sometimes breaking into
two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated
French naturalist says that if the rear
portion of this snakelike procession be
brought into contact with the front part
the insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours, never seeming to
realize that they are getting no further
on their Journey. If the portions be
broken in two the procession will unite
In a short time. When the peasant meets
one of these processions he will lay some
obstacle in front of it. If it passes over
It it is a good omen.
The Leopard of the Snows,
When we look at the leopards In a |
menagerie our minds instinctively turn
to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor- j
rid lands of the equator. But there are i
leopards that love the snow, and never J
willingly descend below the levels
where snowstorms occur in summer as
well as in winter. The New York Zoo
logical park possesses, at present, a j
beautiful specimen of the “snow leop-1
ard," whose home is among the lofty
mountains about Thibet. Thousands of
tanned sklnB of the snow leopard are i
carried to Shanghai for sale, but the liv
ing animal is rarely seen away from his
coot mountain home — Youth's Compaq
