Bilious Headache Means Bowels Are Clogged and Liver Stagnant. You're bilious, you have a throbbing sensation in your head, a bad taste in your mouth, your eyes burn, your skin is yellow, with dark rings under your eyes; your lips are parched. No wonder you feel ugly, mean and il tempered. Your system is full of bile not properly passed off, and what you need is a cleaning up inside. Don't continue being a bilious nuisance to yourself and those who love you, and don't resort to harsh physics that irritate and injure. Remember that most disorders of the stomach, liver and Intestines can be quickly cured by morning with gentle, thorough Cascarets they work while you sleep. A 1 0-cent box from your druggist will keep your liver and bowels clean; stomach sweet and your head clear for months.1 Children love to take Cascarets, because they taste good and nev . er gripe or sicken.

SAVED BY A GHOST. Curious Story of a Specter and the Lonely Yorkshire Moor. It Is not often that we hear of a ghost saving a man's life. There is, however, an instance, and it seems to be tolerably well authenticated, and materialists will hardly know how to account for it Here is the story. It Is of the Yorkshire dales and of a good many years ago. A clergyman whose duty lay in that wild country, where a strong race of men and women lived principally on bacon and oatcake, used to ride or walk to visit the people. He had been raising a subscription in a time of scarcity and had to be out late at night. One evening on his outward Journey be suddenly became aware of a figure moving beside him, and in the gloaming be recognized his brother, who bad died some time before. He was too awestruck for words, and after keeping by his side for some distance over the lonely moor the fignre disappeared. He noted the time and the vision, but nothing occurred to throw any light jpon it. However, some years after he bad taken the duty at a jail In another part of the country one of the prisoners lying under sentence desired to make a confession. After telling him of a lot of crimes he said: 1 wor very near once taking your life. sir. It was in that bad year, and I heerd as how yon went carrying money about In those lonesome dales. I bid behind the big, bowlders of the brown moor. I saw you comlug np and waited till you should be near enough, but that night yon were not alone." This is a startling tale and the stronger because the vision or whatever it was was seen by two people. The anecdote occurs in an article twenty years ago In Macmiilan's Magazine by Lady Verney.,

The water rose to eight feet about them, and has maintained that place since then.
