1t viii Cure Hiccoughs.

ATLANTA, Ca, February 14.-Edi-
tor Constitution: On reading in the
Sunday Constitution of the case Of
John Cranberry, Of New York, who is
suffering from an acute attack of hic-
coughs, I was reminded Of simple
remedy for this very distressing COM
plaint, which I learned Of some ten or
twelve years ago. At that time I was
foreman in the Western Electric Com
pany's shops in New York. One day
/ had severe attack of hiccoughs and
one of my men, an old Englishman,
told me he could relieve me in one
minute. He did so and I have tried
this same relief on myself and others
on several occasions since then and
always with success. 1t might be
termed an "electric cure" and is op-
Grated as follows:
Let the person afflicted hold out his
or her hands just in front, the palms
of the hands upward, the ends Of the
fingers turned slightly up. Now let
another person Of the opposite sex
hold his or her. hands over the other
ones, palms downward, then lower the
hands till the tips Of the fingers Of
each person lightly touches the wrist
of the other. This completes the cir
cult. In few seconds prickling
sensation will be felt by each person
like slight shock from a galvanic
battery, and the hiccoughs will stop.
It may not be successful in every
case, but I have never seen it fail.
Should you think this deserving of a
space in your valuable paper, it might
be the means of relieving some of this
truly distressing ailment. G. 9.

Cold Waves.

Cold waves are those sudden chan
ges from high to very low temperature
which constitute the most noteworthy
feature of the United States. They
are produced by the flow Of masses of
cold, dry air from the regions east Of
the Rocky Mountains in British
America, toward the south and south
east. During the long winter nights
of the Arctic region, dry, clear air
accumulates in deep layers which is
cooled by radiation to temperature
many degrees below zero and then
commences to flow towards any place
where warm air is ascending, as it
does in the low pressure areas or
storms which constantly pass from
west to east across the United States.
A Glow area" is produced by the
air, somewhere becoming heated from
unknown causes, above the surround
ing atmosphere. This excessively
heated air ascends and air is drawn in
below from all sides to replace it.
That drawn in on the south to east
side is warm and moist; that drawn
from the north to west side is dry and
cold. The cold wave follows after the
low area as it moves eastward. The
severer and prolonged cold waves are
associated with extensive areas Of high
pressure. Their rate Of progress aver
ages 1900 miles in twenty four hours.
It is of great advantage to many
business and agricultural interests to
know in advance when the temperature
will fall quickly and decidedly, be-
sides affecting the comfort and health
of thousands of people.-C: F: con

800 Reward, S1OO.

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by builing up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

= The air brakes on railroad trains
are being built with view to their
use on trains Of one hundred cars.
The plant on each train is being built
so that it can be used in such way as
to bring the speed down from eighty
to thirty miles per hour within five
seconds. Great power has to be used,
and every part Of the apparatus has to
be perfect to stand the strain.

and goes through a lovely country along
by Blue Springs and Dunellen-a long
moss and lake country, with orange
groves alternating. It crosses the
orange belt near Lacoochee, and I ex-
pected to get off at the crossing, for
the law says that all trains must stop
at crossings. When I told the con-
ductor to put me off at the crossing he
respectfully declined and said his
train never stopped there that it
slowed up little, but I must get off
at Macon, which was two miles from
Lacoochee. Well | never fight rail
road, Of course, and so I got off at
Macon, which was no town-no moth
ing, but a station, and SO I took my
heavy valise in one hand and my
cloak in the other and turned tramp
myself for Lacoochee. If you never
walked two miles in Florida sand you
don't know anything about an uphill
business. It is on dead level, Of
course, but it is worse than climbing

lise got heavier and heavier all the
way. sat down or laid down every
hundred yards and looked be-
hind me to see how far I had got, and
ahead of me to the distant spires Of
Lacoochee. I had two hours time to
make it in and took nearly all oe it. I
sank down in Mr.. Johns hotel piazza
and family asked for water. 1 tried
to appear calm and serene, but I
couldn't. My legs had grown shorter
and my arms longer than they had
been in ten years, and I trembled all
over like whipped school boy. But
old Father Time is good doctor, and
by the time got a good dinner I was
ready for the train that brought me to
Clear Water agaiu. My candid opin-
ion is that I am too old for this sort of
business, and if Mr.. Plant wants me
to ride on his shortcut again he must
issue special order to have me drop
ped at the crossing and the Orange
belt must have me carefully picked up
when it gets there. The railroads
ought to be made to have good sta
tion house at these crossings, with
chairs and couches to recline on and
ice water and the morning papers.
But now I am at rest again. l

CurIoslties of the Calendar.

The year 1900 will not be leap year
simply because, being hundredth
year, although it is divisible by four,
it is not divisible by 400 without u
remainder. This is not the real rea-
son, but the result Of it; the real rea-
SON being the establishment of the
Gregorian rule, made in 1882.
The Nineteeth Century will not end
until midnight Of Monday, December
81, 1900, although the old quarrel
will probably again be renewed as to
what constitutes a century and when
it winds up, and thousands will insist
on premature burial ofDecembcr 81,
1899.
But as century means 100 years,
and as the first century could not end
until a full 100 years had passed, nor
the second until 200 years had passed,
etc., it is not logically clear why the
Nineteenth Century should be cur
tailed and broken off before we have
the full 1900 years.
April l and July in any year, and
in leap year January /, fall on the
same day of the week.
September l and December l in any
year fall on the same week day.
January 1 and October in any year
fall on the same week day, except it
be leap year.
February 1, March 1 and November
/ of any year fall on the same day of
the week, unless it be leap year,
when January 1, April / and July l
fall on the same week day.
May /, June l and August in any
year never fall on the same week day,
nor does any one Of the three ever fall
on the same week day on which any
other month in the same year begins,
except in leap year, when February l
and August 1 fall on the same week
day.
To find out on what day of the week
any day of this century fell divide the
year by and let the remainder 60.
Add the quotient and year together,
then add 8 more. Divide the result
by Z and if the remainder is 0 March l
of that year was Sunday if l, Mon
day; if 2, Tuesday, and so on.
For the last century, do the same
thing, but add 4 instead Of 8. For
the next century add 2 instead.
It is needless to 60 beyond the next
century, because its survivors will
probably have some shorter method,
and find out by simply touching a
knob or letting knob touch them.
Christmas of any year always falls
on the same day of the week as jan
uary 2 of that yeal, unless it be a leap
year, when it is the same week day as
January 3 Of that year.
Easter is always the first Sunday
after the full moon that happens on
or next after March 81. 1t is not
easy to see how it can occur earlier
than March % or later than April 26
in any year.
New Year January y will happen
on Sunday but once more during this
century that will be in 1899. In the
next century it will occur IA times
only, as follows: 1905, 1911, 1922,
1928, 1899, 1850, 1856, 1861, 1867,
1878, 1884, 1889 and 1895. The in
tervals are regular-6-5-6-11, 6-5-6-1l
except the interval which includes
the hundredth year that is not cen
tury, when there is break-as 1893,
| 1899, 1905, 1911-when three inter-
walls Of six years come together after
that plain sailing till 2OO1, when the
old intervals will occur in regular or
der.

At the request of many persons in Orange
who are proud of the record of the regi-
ment and of the fact that one portion

The next annua1 meeting of the Union

The Union Veteran League is composed
of officers, soldiers, sailors and marines
of the Union Army, Navy and Marine
Corps who volunteered during the Civil
War prior to July l, 1868, for three years
and served two continuous years, and of
those who volunteered for two years prior
to July 2, 1861, and served their full time,
provided in both cases, however, hat
they were not discharged for injuries re-
ceived, this exempting them from the con-
tinuous service clause of the membership
requirements. The legion was organized
in Pittsburg in March, 1884, and the ma
tional organization was perfected in No

ments, numbering over 10000 members
