Headache
When your head aches, there
is a stor'm in the nervous sys
tem, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
T his is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi
lepsv, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Tain Tills.
They stop the pain by sooth
ing, strengthening and reliev
ing the tension upon the nerves
—-not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Tain Tills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
“Sick headache ia hereditary in my
family. My father suffered a great
deal, and for many years I have had
spells that were so severe that l was
unable to attend to my business affairs
f -r a day or so at a time. During a
very severe attack of headache, I took
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills and they
relieved me almost immediate!;Since
tlien I take them when I feel the spell

! SCORPION’S SUICIDE.
Positive Evidence That the Creature
Does Kill Itself.
Instance* In Which Ihc Act of Sclf
Dfttrnotion W an I nmlatakahlf
W' Itneaaed—%Ifcctcd
by Llvlit.
Lord Byron has referred to a tenden
cy of the scorpion to commit suicide
when surrounded by tire. Naturally
enough, this has been regarded as a
poetic fiction; and a distinguished
writer has gone so far as to say that the
“popular idea regarding scorpionlc
suicide is a delusion based on an impos
sibility." The impossibility to which
this writer refers is this: The sting of
the scorpion is in its tail, and the ter
mination of the tail is recurved, so that
it would really be impossible for the
scorpion to sting itself on the under
part of its body. But it is not impos
sible for the sting to penetrate the back
or even the head; and there Us positive
evidence that in certain circumstances
the scorpion does commit suicide In
that way. This creature seems to be
unable to endure light; and when it is
exposed to light it. seems to become so
desperate as to end its torture with Its
own sting. \Y. (1. Riddie tells this in
cident, which he himself observed In
Madras, and which lie communicated
to Nature:
“One morning a servant brought, to
me a large specimen of scorpion, which,
having staid out too long in its noc
turnal rambles, had apparently got be
wildered at daybreak and been unable
to find its way home. To keep it safe.
the creature was at once put. Into a
glazed entomological case. Having a
few leisure minutes in the course of the
forenoon, I thought I would see how
my prisoner was getting on, and to
have a better view of it the ease was
placed in a window in the rays of the
hot sun. The light and heat seemed to
irritate it very much, and this recalled
' i my mind a story which I had read
-> unewhere that a scorpion, on being
surrounded with fire, had committed
suicide. I hesitated about submitting
niy pet to such n terrible ordeal; but,
taking a common botanical lt-ns, 1 fo
cused the rays of the sun on its back.
The moment this was done it began to
run hurriedly about the case, hissing
jnd spitting in a very fierce way. This
ixperiment was repeated some four or
ive times with like results, but on try
ing it once again the scorpion turned
:ts tail and plunged the stinger quick
as lightning into its own back. The
infliction of the wound was followed by
i sudden escape of fluid, and a friend
.landing by me called out: ‘See, it has
iturig itself; it is dead;’ and sure
■nough, in less than half a minute life
a as quite extinct. I have written this
>rief note to show (1) that animals may
•omtnit suicide; (2) that the poison of
certain animals may be destructive to
themselves.”
An eminent writer. Dr. Allen Thomp
son, !•’. It. S., has contributed the fol
lowing narrative of facts observed by
15. F. Hutchinson, while living in the
summer at the baths of Sulla, in Italy.
Mr. Hutchinson and his family were
very much annoyed by the frequent In
trusion of small black scorpions in the
house, which secreted themselves
:along tlie bedclothes, in shoes, and !■
other articles of dress. He says:
“it thus became necessary to be con
s’antly on the watch for these trouble
some creatures, and to take means for
'heir removal and destruction. Having
been informed by the natives of the
place that the scorpion would destroy
itself if exposed to a sudden'light, my
.ill'll in (a iii ami ui i iiicimo o'/uu
adepts in catching the scorpions and
lisposing of them in the manner sug
gested. 'i'h is consisted in confining
the animal under an inverted drinking
glass or tumbler, below which a card
was inserted when tlie capture w-as
made, and then, waiting till dark, sud
lenlv bringing the light of a candle
near to tlie glass in which the animal
was confined. ,
"No sooner was this done than the
scorpion invariably showed signs of
great excitement, running round and
round the interior of the tumbler with
reckless velocity for a number of
times. This state having lasted for a
minute or more, the animal became
quiet, and, turning its tail on the hinder
part of its body over its back, brought
its recurved sTing down upon the mid
dle of the head, and, piercing it forc
ibly, in a few seconds became quite
motionless, and. in fact, quite dead.
This observation was repeated very
frequently; in truth, it was adopted as
the best plan of getting rid of the ani
mals. The young people were in the
habit of handling the scorpions with
Impunity immediately after they were
so killed, and of preserving many of
them as curiosities."
It would be difficult to prove that
suicide is an evidence of intelligence;
and it is certainly different from any
other act that is prompted by instinct,
for instinct always tends to the pres
ervation of life in the individual and
also in the species, never to its destruc
1 ion. Unless, therefore, there were
some reason to believe that light af
fects the physical organization of the
scorpion in such a way as to be fatally
injurious alike to the individual and to
the species, the extraordinary fact al
leged in these anecdotes is quite inex
plicable. There is reason, then, to re
•eive these stories with some hesitation,
but they i annot be summarily rejected.

THE MODERN SANDWICH.

4, inn of 50 who had chanced never
to ' ir of sandwiches from the time he
wa' a boy, when they were confined
principally to three varieties -ham,
tongue and corned beef - and when,
aside from what laud he would take, f he
chief question was whetiier he would
have mustard on it, might be sur
prised to learn that nowadays sand
wiches are made in more varieties than
his own years number: considerably
more. In one big luneh establishment
there are made sandwiches in 04 va
rieties. l’hc differences between some
of these varieties would be slight, but
at the same time they would be clear
and distinct; and there would regular
ly be found on sale on the counter
more than 20 varieties always ready.
The others include varieties more or
less peculiar to some season, or sand
wiches supplied to order, as many
sandwiches are nowadays.
Besides the familiar ham, tongue,
corned beef, roast beef, turkey and
chicken sandwiches, there are sold in
these days, either already prepared or
made to order, a dozen varieties of
what may be called fish sandwiches,
these including the commonly sold
sardine snndwiches and anchovy sand
wiches and sandwiches made with
little fishes called sardelles, and solm
ou sandwiches, and sandwiches made
with muskallonge, soft shell crab sand- j
wiches, lobster sandwiches, shrimp
sandwiches, codfish sandwiches, and
sandwiches made with a fried codfish
cake between slices of bread. Of cheese
sandwiches there are ten at least. In
cluding many regularly supplied and
others made to oTder.
There are sold nowadays sandwiches
made of various kinds of salads, and
orders for such sandwiches are not un
usual. In a place where sandwiches
in great variety are sold, if a customer
asked for a salad sandwich the waiter
wouldn’t need to ask what was want
ed, he would know and he would get i
it for him without question, as a mat- j
ter of course, and the same would be
true if the request were for a tomato
sandwich or a sandwich made with j
watcrcrcsses.
Of combination sandwiches, made j
with more than one kind of meat, as j
sandwiches of ham and chicken, I
chicken and tongue and so on, there
are various kinds, as there lire also of .
sandwiches made of various materials ;
combined; as, for instance, sandwiches
made of minced ham and chow chow,
sandwiches of chopped chicken, sand- ,
wiches of minced tongue and chicken, j
egg sandwiches, and so on. So that it
would not be very difficult to enu
tneniti lint *14 varieties of sandwiches
made and new varieties are being add- ,
ed nil the time.—N. Y. Sun.

“Xu, ma’am, 1 don’t like ’em,” said
Mr. Cuinrox, with emphasis. “I’m free
to say these dialect stories make me
tired. Half the words in ’em ain’t iD
the dictionary.”
“But you might cultivate a liking for
them,” said his wife's sister. "It is |
something like music. You may not
have much of an ear for it at first, but
if you keep at it you will soon appre
ciate it.”
“Well, maybe I will some day. But
I'd rather have something solid. I’d
like to begin on some of my youngest !
girl’s school books and go right through
'em. That’s the sort of reading that I’d
enjoy spending time on.”
He picked up one of his daughter’s
books which happened to be lying near.
It was a copy of Virgil, which his ,
daughter had been translating into
English. He stared solemnly at the
first page of the Latin epic for awhile
and then slowly turned the leaf. When
his eyes had gotten down to the middle
of the nexi page he laid the volume
down with a sigh.
“It’s no use.” he exclaimed,- regret
fully.
“What is of no use?”
“My trying to read dialect. And I
must say that this thing of teachin’ it
in the public schools strikes me aa
1 piaguey foolish.”—Washington Star.
