How Hioooughs Should Re Treated.

Hiccoughs are caused by indigestion generally and are expressed in 8 sort of explosive and exhaustive cough, caused by the intermittent contract4ons of the larynx and diaphragm. A swallow of cold water is often a relief; also in chil- dren pinch of brown sugar on the tongue. Sprinkling water on the face is sometimes efficacious. The shock of water dashed in the face suddenly causes . revulsion of feeling and an almost inn mediate stop. A baby is often relieved by being placed on it's stomach on some one's lap; also rest against the shoulder in an erect position and rub we'll be- tween the shoulders. Never bathe 8 child after fit of hiccoughs under three hours. It is surely caused by an over loaded stomach or some incongruous food

The End of Flirting

It was in 8 quiet village,
 Dwelt the maid of whom I'll tell; Always loyal and true hearted,
 But she loved to flirt too well. Flirting just for pastime, pleasure Not intending any sin; But alas how many maidens
 Rue the day when they begin. It was so with this young damsel. At first she would but wink the eye, Or perchance would wave the 'kerch1ef At some young man, passing by. It was in the merry summer,
 When the flowers bloomed so sweet {; Sailing down the mighty Hudson, She young man chanced to meet. And of course, as was her failing, She bestowed on him a smile; And he not the least offended,
 Smiled back with those eyes so mild. Yes, his eyes were mild and tender, And his sweet and pensive way Greatly won that maiden's favor
 As he passed her oft that day. In the band he played the cornet, And he wore the suit of red, And jaunty little cap
 Set of the dark curls on his head. First to see, they met as strangers, Then that willful, winning smile, N04k SttW Lu0m cuhLLluR RhllY In quite famaliar style. But the lad seemed bent on shining, And the maid yet young in life, Seemed contented, little thinking He at home had left wife. So she allowed him to caress her
 In an all too friendly way, Listening with mixed love and pleasure To his talk and laughter gay. Yes, he knew the art of wooing,
 He had learned that lesson well; And she, yet inexperienced.
 Thought his voice like silver bells. Oft he begged her to tell him
 What her name was, where her home, So that h6 might come and seek her, After that bright day had flown. But her name she would not tell him, But she told the town and street, Longing that some day she'd see him, For her hearti6fth love did beat. She was young and free and happy, While he, on the other hand, Had no right to lure the maiden
 For he was a married man. As you know they met as strangers, And as strangers they must part, Yet little knew, or cared he,
 His absence left an aching heart. All tubL udy lOu8 Ou CQ6 WdC6Tb,
 He would finger near her side, And in her heart were secret longings, She might some day be his bride. But when night came they parted; Each one going different ways. She with fond hopes sweetly dreaming Of the coming happy days, Of the time when he would seek her; She should see his face again; But alas the loving longings
 Of that maiden were in vain. Once again she saw him,
 It was at the County Fair; And he doffed his cap in greeting, But to come he did not dare, For withinithat Fair house,
 Where the crowded masses piled, Minglfng with the throng and near him Were his wife and little child. So you see she saw her folly
 When alas l it was too late; All the love tkat she had cherished, Quickly turned to bitter hate. But she has for you 8 warning That will last her all her life. Girls, don't fiirt with any strange man Lest at home he has wife,"

Round Over.

Chas. o. Garvin, of New York city, wac yesterday afternoon brought before Justice Clossey at Norfolk on the charge of obtaining money from Cowles & Eld- ridge under false pretenses. He was bound over to tn April term of the Su- perior court at Litchfield under bonds of $2O00. In default of bonds he was taken by Deputy Sheriff Finn to the county jail Garvin was arrested at the Canaan hotel Tuesday evening by Mr John F. Simmons. Citizen. Dec. 8.
 We have had considerable sympathy for Mir Garvin because we have suppos- ed he lost several thousand dollars in the creamery business in Canaan and elsewhere but others now say there are two sides to that creamery business. Be that as it may, we hope there are ex- tenuating circumstances for MT Garvin in the charge brought against him of obtaining money under false pretsnses.

Hoy the Word Book" Became Applied
 to Muslin.

,Itis thought that muslin is sometimes called "book muslin" from the peculiar way in which it is folded in yards and each yard doubled in again like the leaves of book, but this is incorrect. The word has its origin in "Buke" (erro- neously written "Book"), district in India, where it was first made.

Treasury Cases.

That the long waited for decision Of
the Supreme Court in the treasury cases
would be received with various differ
ences Of opinion was to be expected
That many Of tho pArtl Journals would
also take partisan views was alsonatural
enough. buc the unanimlty with which
the people and the journals accept the
decision Of the court is commendaole,
and shows a confidence in our highest
tribunal that means great deal for The
future welfare Of Wisconsin. When n
people ceases to rely upon its courts
then is the state ripe for anarchy But
law and justice unfortunately do not
always 80 hand in hand and decision
may be strictly in accord with law and
still work injustice to those against
whom the decision lies The amount
10 be returned 10 the state by the ex-
treaSurers is variously estimated at
from half million to over 500, 900 dol
lars. This means financial hardship if
not complete financial ruin to men who
for twenty years have followed q custom
that was known to every in
telHgent citizen in the state. II this
custom IS wrong now 1t wss wrong from
the first and j. should have been placed
on trial twenty years ago Had tins
been done then no hardship would now
be thrust upon these men and the state
would not now be made richer 10y 5nan-
cial disaster 10 few unfortunate e.

TIE CENTURY.

RUDYARD KIPLING will have a story
of Irdian monkeys in the February 81.
Nicholas. The frontispiece of the num-
Der is an engraving of painting by
Delort, owned by S. P. Avery, Jr. 1t
represents that remarkable occurrence
in history. the capture of the Dutch
fleet by French hussars. During the
invasion of Holland by the army of the
first French Republic, in 1894. word
was brought to the invaders that some
of the Dutch ships were icebound in the
Zuyder Zee, and that the ice was thick
enough to bear horsemen. The French
hussars were at once sent galloping
over the ice, and succeeded in capturing
the Dutch men-of.war-probably the
only case where horsemen have captur-
ed an enemy's fleet at sea.

The Decision of the Supreme
Court.

Tie Supreme Court Of Wisconsin i
receiving the plaudits OF all RICH
minded men every where for h.ir slurd,
performance of duty Our court has
made an envi. BILE record during The
past two years, and the decision in the
treasury cases is strong and well
balanced, showing that the opinion has
been reached By painstakiLg research,
aud is doubt IS based strictly upon The
law governing the case. Prom the view
that the highest court takes of the de-
gree Of possibility of the treasurers,
and their duties as custodlaus Of the
public funds. that they performed no
illegal act 10 depositiBg the money. one
can readily understand how the de-
cisiOn reached by them is that the inter
est belongs To the state. But on the
basis set up by the Judge in the lower
court, and which was the one con-
tended for by the attorneys for the
prosecution, it is difhcuit to see how it
could be determined that the state had
any right TO the interest money if
the treasar-rs were 10 duty bound to
keep the state money in the vaults
in the treasurer's office and if they
deposited it elsewhere they we're guilty
of wrong dong. The Supreme Court
calls the attention of the lower court
and the attorneys to this point and then
comes to the same conclusion aud
affirms the decision of the lower court
through different line of reasoning.

milwaukee Sentinel: There will be
no difference as to the soundness of
the policy which requires an officer
entrusted with public funds to place
to the credit of those funds whatever
profit is derived from them when de-
posted in banks. But justice requires
that the officer be relieved from
responsibility for any loss of such
funds which does not occur through
his own fault. Such is now the law,
but was not when the state treasurers
affected by the courts decision held
office. The decision therefore imposes
upon them great hardship. 1t is
easy to understand that man who
has come into posses sion. as he sup
poses rightfullY, of large sum of
money will live upon a different scale
and will enter into business engage
ments such as he would not otherwise
contemplate. He is liable in the
chances and changes of business to
lose the money he has acquired.
Hence. when called upon years after
wards not only to refund what he
thought was his own, but to pay
interest upon it for all those years,
the case is one of unusual hardship.
But if such be the law, the result may
be accepted and the consequences en-
dured.

The Treasury Case Decision

OPINIONS BY SOME OF THE LEADING
NEWSPAPERS.
Milwaukee journal: The great case
is ended. But one perfunctory step
lies between the ex-treasurers and
settlement. They have a right to and
probably will make a motion for a
rehearing. but it will not avail them.
The case was deliberately presented in
their behalf and every possible ad-
vantage has been allowed them. The
only thing to be gained by such a
motion is delay. There is no avenue
of escape.
