Many ladies after an afternoon spent in shOppiug return homo with a dull headacno, which does not completely leave them until after a night's sleep, ^is is callod shoppers' headache, and is becoming more provalent. There are a number of causes which produco this condition. Bad ventilation of stores, which are crowded with pcoplo and goods, producing a foul condition of tno air, is a prolific cause. Foul air lingers about and clings to dry goods cspocially, and tho nractico of heaping remnants and other goods upon long tables accessible to tho crowds and constantly handled by 'hem, is not eonducivo - to health. Tho strain, of looking for hours nt different colors, often bright, and tho elfort to decide which omonir tho many articles should be selected, produco a congestion of 'the brain tissue, which causes shoppers' headoclio. Long continued observation necessitates an effort of llio mind, ; which, although perhaps not npprccia' able at the time, is a cause of tlio disease. . Fatigue has a great deal to do with it, fatigue of musclo as well ns brain. Hours of languid locomotion and upright position, varied and fro, quent movomentsof ihe head, restloss. ness of tho oyes all nroduco it. Tlie muscular strain involved in half a day's shopping is considerable, especially whoro ladies aro not in tho nabitof using their muscles very much at othor times.

Tbo facts have bfcen mado public of an occurrence which would not have been believed possible by tho residents of the neighboring towns. Two men, with their guns end a dog. woro out hunting near Fergus Falls, when they came across a deserted tabin in tho woods in a lonesome spot about seven miles from tho city. On approaching the shanty tho dog began to show sijjns of fear, and finally, with a yell of torror, turned and ran away. The mon woro surprised at tho dog's behavior, and one of them stenped to tho window and looked in. Tlio sight ho beheld was a startling ono. In tho middle of tho floor lay a man I with his clothes torn completely off Xinfl Ilia hml \y loohmtn/1 i.? ~ 4 -?:L1 - 1 '"wiuivu in <t icrnuiu manner. In one ha ml was grasped tiu ax covered with blood, and around him Iny eleven huge pray wolves. Ono of tho beasts was not quito dead, and Iny snapping and snarling at the newcomers until silenced by a shot from a revolver. In a corner lay tho partially cntou body of another man, who grasped an empty rovolver in ono hand and a bloody knife in tbo other. Tho first man was still living and soon after bo had been removed to Fergus Fulls und bad received medical treatment ho told bis story. Ho was William Emory, a farmer. Accompanied by August Mel leek, be bad gono 011 a hunt, and 011 reaching the vicinity of tho cabin he bad heard wolves howling. Tho two hunters wcro not afraid, for, as a general thing, the beasts will not attack n man, and Emory and Mcllcck thought they would try to kill ono or two for tho bounty 011 their scalps. Emorv shot one. wlioreiinnn llio wliolo puck, instead of running away, made a furious attack 011 t ho men, compelling them to run for rcfugo into tho cabin. Tlio door was broken ro that they could not shut it, and tho snprling hungry brutes followed them into tho shanty, where a desperate tight for lifo ensued. Emory struck one of the animals with his gun, breaking it, and then seized an old ax which lay on tho floor. But for the death of his companion ho would have undoubtedly como out of tho fight without serious injury. Mcllcck killed two wolves with his revolver and wounded another, and then began fighting with his knife. The animals made a rush at him and ho slipped down 011 tho floor, when they all nounced on his prostrato body, and Emory saw his companion torn to pieces without being able to render lum any assistance, as lie was being attacked in the saino way by tho others. Emory remembered killing five with his ux, and disabling others, aftfer which lie fell to tA?e (win exhaustion, tind knew no more until ho iounu nnu-.u ground with tho men jJournig water on his face, lie will ultimately rc.cover, although one of his hands has been amputated, tho wolves having eaten tho flesh to the bone. Ilis right cheek was torn nearly oil' and his neck and breast were literally torn to shreds. Tho remains of Alollocu were taken to Fergus Falls, where they were buried. The carcasses of twelve wolves wcro secured and the marks 011 their bodies were proof of the terrible battle which had raged in the lonely cabin. Tho bounty on their scalps and tho value of their skins will sufilco to pay Emory's doctor's bills. These wolves liavo been a constant menace to farmers, havfrig carried oiF a largo amount of stock, and 011 several occasions have chased children. This is probably the 1 A I- : ..

TcrHflc<l Farmer* WutelioU II Ira aa He Turned Up the Soli Perfectly In the north western corner of Lower | Morion township, Montgomery county, Ea., a terribio hubbub has been raised by a phantom farmer, who is 1 nightly seen plowing in a field. The j apparition was first discovered about threo weeks ago by a frnn hand who was returning late from courting a pretty maid. Emerging from a wooded pathway that skirted an old forest for miles, this rustic was startled to hear u sepulchral voice commanding a team to hftlt. lie looked in vain about the place for.a moment or two, and was about moving 011 again when the same sound fell on his car. A shiver crept down his spinal column as he heard the croaking of an unseen harness, and this terror was far from being allayed, by tho whinny of u liorsu utmost directly +?ir... a* thai moment the new mnnn R?/dn nm* the neighboring tree tops, nnd in its '"misty light the rural swain plainly inw the. phantom farmer, it was clearly outlined against the dark back ground, and its two hands held in sternly grasp the projecting handles of a plow. lioforo it marched a pair of spirited horses, dimly outlined in tho misty light, their heads erect and their eyes Hashing lire as they moved hastily along Tho young man waited another moment to rcassuro himself, and was about to tuko to his heels when plowman, horses and plow suddenly vanished. Then ho, too, (led in wild alarm. At Silas Drown's corner grocery on the night succeeding this tho young man. Albert Coojicr by name, told this startling story. .Brown, like many of tl?o loungers in tho store, smiled incredulously, and advised Cooper to "reform." A discussion arose, in which hot' words Wcro exchanged, nnd several bets were made that Cooper was drawing Uic long bow. The upshot of the matter was that tho crowd adjourned to tho alleged scene of tho ghost's operations to verify or disprove Cooper's tale. 'l'ney hail not long to wait. Without tho noises that had warned Cooper tho night before, tho phanton farmer appeared betore tho eyes of tho seven men who Kit upon tho fence, or. to be more accurate, who almost fell from it in terror. Ilis long whito hair nnd beard streamed in the passing wind. No hat was on his head nor could any portion of his face bo seen except the glistening eyes. These shot out from a height of mora than seven feet from the ground, indicating that tho spectral granger was taller than tho averngo of human kind. About his body, which could not well bo traced, tlicro was a phosphorescent irlow which dazzled the oven of tlle terrified s|>ectators and shown far ahead of tho steadily moving horses.

On he came,-the tin. . .?? ?.0m? ing to exhale lira, their heads orcct and urching, and footfalls as firm and clear as any tho wulchers ever hoard. At tho corner of tho field they turned obediently ul a word from their spectral driver, and again passed before the affrighted spectators, who thereupon flouin haste. On tho following morning a crowd of rustics determined to go to tho field and sco whether any trace of tho farmer could bo found As they camo iii sight of tho inelosuro ono of the number exclaimed in astonishment: "I'll bo durncd if tho thing doesn't plow, sure enough." Ho was right. Olio-half of tho field had been gono over, evidently by no novice. The furrows were not quite so broad as thoso made by an ordinary plowman, but thoy wcro less ragged and moro deep, and wcro as straight as tiro most experienced oyo could make them. A day or two after the samo group went out to view tho fields again, and this timo thoy found that tho phantom hod finished his work.

A Chicago Man TO bo Dreamed That Ha Dreamed of Committing finleltle. "JSver havo a dream within a dream and get tho two all mixed up?" asked the man at the club whose specialty is dredms. "Well; 1 had one the other night that has made me think some about it since. 1 thought I was walking west in a miAtr ? q^V v..s?vv/??OVf.HU IliUXiU U1 mind and wondering if, after all, life didn't cost pretty much nil it was worth when I came to tho Madison street bridge, I Etopped nnd looked over tho rail nnd fell to calculating how it would feel to take n plunge in tho slimy depths, and how much uttcntion it would attract if I were to climb over the side and jump.

"At a glance 1 saw tho man was a friend of mino whom 1 hadn't seen for sover&l years and who I supposed to be in 'Frisco. 1 spoke to him and ho turned with a startled exclamation Of annoyanco, recognized.me, and waited for me to speak. 1 asked him what ho was going to do. Ho looked at me as mournfully as tho spirits in tho 'Inferno* did at Dante, and said: " 'I'm going to jump over this rail Into tho river.' "1 asked him what he intended doing anything so foolish as that for. and h? tokl mo with tears welling up to his eyes that the girl ho loved was dead. "1 sympathized with him with all my heart becauso I was in a precisely similar fix, but I told liim he was foolish and that wliilo it was natural for him to feel like that for awhile bo would soon fealiz^ that it was the height of folly to attempt to remedy matters by dodging out of the world in this irregular and altogether disgraceful fashion. 1 brought all the philosophy I could muster to beat on the case and plumped it all at him, but ho nover wavered. Ho shook hands with me, told mo to walk on and leave him, and turned to look over into the river again. Of course I didn't comply with his request. Tho horror of allowing a human being to rush to deathoverpowercd me with a shocking sense of realization, and I remember thinking how differently things affect person* when applied to others than the same conditions applied to ourselves.

Then we I struck the water and?I awoke.

I saw the peoplo running down the stairs to the dock to help me, and 1 struck out valiantly for the shore. When I reached it a ropo was thrown mo and I was dragged up on tlio dock, whore the bridge tender and several others proceeded to abusf me for a blankety-blank idiot, who ought to have been left to drown. "I tried to tell them that it was all a dream, and that I didn't know-the first thing about it till I struck the water, but they looked at me with the most profound disdain and said: " 'Oh, you weakened! You an't got no more nerve 'n a rabbitf "Then the bridge tender grabbed me by the dank neck of my dripping coaj and took mo up the steps and turned me over to a policeman, who called a wagon and loaded mo into It. I was rattled away to tho station, while the offioers in the wagon swore at mo and tho people on the streets turned to look after me curiously.

On the way down the officer gave me a shove, and I tripped and fell headlong down five steps and struck my head. "That was when'I did awake. Everything was &ark, and it took as much as a full minute to real las that I was in my own room, but half out of bed.
