FRESH CYCLONE STORIES.
Woman Who Was willing 10 Trust
IN Providence and Let the Powder Get
Wet.

From the Atlanta Constitution
Senator Vaudeville said to me Yesterday:
The people in Carroll and adjoining counties
are digging cyclone pits with something like
system. The time will come when no home in
that section will be without one" Some one
remarked that many religious people refused to
take refuge in pits. quoting lady who said:
II Will trust in the Lord and not flee before
HIS VIII. That sort of faith" replied her
husband, Twill cover everything except a
cyclone"
"And yet, said Senator Vaudeville, Il know
OF case where the wife refused to go into the
cellar when the cyclone was coming. SAYING
that II the Lord intended her to die she would
die whether she was i'm the cellar or in the gar
ret. Her husband, standing by her. while he
did not share her faith gathered the children
and awaited the shock. The house was swept
away but none of the family hurt; except q
small wound on the side of the wife's face. On
returning to the site of the house they found
the cellar fpll OF immense Jagged timbers."
An Easy Cure for Iniccough.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
Hiccough is a cOnvulsive contraction of the
diaphragm. 1t is only necessary to allow an eX-
ceedingly long and at the end. fOrcbe expira-
ton to follow long and quiet Inspiration. The
slow inspiration, especially when it is chiefly
performed by the wall of the chest. prevents the
phrenic nerve from being too powerfully irrita-
ted. while the long expiration gives this nerve
time to recover from it's Over-irritaton. A
remedy which the writer has tested many times
without failure can always be used upon a
person who has ''the hiccOughs' by some one
else, and generally by the sufferer himself. You
say to your friend something like this: "See
how close together you can hold the tips of your
forefngers without their TOUCHING. No, keep
your elbows out free frOmyOur sides. You can
get your fingers closer than that. They are
touching now. There, now hold them So
Steady" By this time You cam generally ask:
"Now, why don't you hiccoughi' The invol-
untary tendency to breathe slowly and steadily
when the attention is fixed on performing q
delicate manipulation is here what counteracts
the cOnvulsve action of the diaphragm.
Sleeping Together.
Som ebOdy has said that more guarrels occur
between brothers, between sisters, between
hired girls, between clerks in stores, between
apprentices in mechanics shops, between hired
men, between husbands and wives, owing to
electrical changes which their nervous systems
undergo by lodging together night after night
under the same bed-clothes than by any other
disturbing cause. There Is nothing says the
Scientific american, that will so derange the
nervous system OF person who is elimlnative
another person who is absorbent in nervous
force. The aDsorber will go to sleep and rest
all night; while the elminatOr will be tumbling
and tossing. restless and nervous and wake up
in the morning fretful. peevsh, faultfinding
and discouraged. No persons, no matter who
they are, should habitually sleep together. One
