SURE CURE FOR HICCOUGHS.
Doctor In Bellevue Hospital Saves a
Patients Life by Fastening
HIS Tongue Out.

Original research in Bellevue hospital
New York city, has borne important
fruit in the discovery Of cure for hic-
coughs, As every grown man knows
what he believes to be a cure for hic-
coughs this announcement will be ap-
preciated at its true value only by those
who realize how many unhappy NOR
tails have hiccoughed themselves into
the grave.
That Is what George Tully would have
done but for DIR. Shades discovery. He
is an electrician living at 135 East Thir-
ty-sixth street. On Sunday night Tul-
ly began TO hiccough fast and furiously
and was given up in despair by his own
physician, who packed him off TO Belle
yue hospital TO be experimental upon
by the hiccough experts. Tully was
growing weaker every moment when
DR.. slade took him in hand All the old
remedies were tried without effect. The
patient still hiceoughed.
"Tully," said DR.. slade, ats your
tongue that causes all the trouble. lam
going TO take it out and keep it OUT
Tully, who was ready for any fate,
put out his tongue, and Dr. slade
gripped it with his instrument, which
was tongue forceps. It was left hang
Ing there, and when the patient tried
instinctively TO draw back his tongue
he found that he could not.
AT the end of half an hour, when the
doctor returned, the hiccoughing had
grown feeble. Toward noon Tully's
speech was paralyzed, but the hiccoughs
were on their last legs, so to speak
Later in the day he slept peacefully, and
when he awoke he forgot to hiccough.

Rapid ShoemaSfng.

One of the big Lynn shoe shops made
a pair of ladies' boots for the Paris Elk
hibition of 1880 In twenty-four min
utes. A notary public followed the OPP
Grafton, watch in hand. For this feat
the pair Of shoes went through the us
ual routine of the shop, but at excep-
tioral speed; ffty-seyen different op-
orators and forty-two machines were
concerned in the work, which required
twenty-six pieces of leather, fourteen
pieces of cloth, twenty-four buttons,
twenty-four button-holes, eighty tacks,
twenty nails, two box-toes, two steel
shanks and twenty yards of thread,
Since that time the division of labor
upon q pair of shoes has become still
greater, and there is larger number
of machines employed, with the result
that n pair of ladies' boots can now be
made complete in this factory inside CT
twenty minutes.

THE WORlC'S WARS.

since the Birth of Christ 1000, OOO,-
600 Men Have Been Slain in Battle.
Our civil war cost 100000 lives. OF
this number $4,000 were slain In bat
tie. The vast army which succumbed
to disease was no less than 1S4,331,
while the remaining 10000 or SO died
Of wounds received.
At the battle of Waterloo 81 900 men
we're killed or disabled. There were
145, 900 soldiers in that great struggle,
and 1t Is estimated that one man was
either killed or disabled for every 400
shots fred, counting both the artillery
and rifle shots.
In the Crimean war 95,615 lives were
sacrificed, and at Borodino, when the
French and Russians fought, $4,000
men were left dead ON the battlefield.
There We're 100000 troops to combat In
that enga cement.
OF the 95,G15 men who persisted in
the Crimean war $4,000 were Turks
ind Russians.
At Canea, however, where the Ro-
mans suffered the worst defeat in their
history, 1t is said that $4,000 of their
soldiers were slain. The Roman army
in this battle consisted of 100000 men
the picked Drawn and sinew Of the
empire.
In the Franco Prussian war 1900
Frenchmen were killed. The Germans
fred 10000, 900 rifle shots to attain this
result. During the same war the Ger
mans fired $4,000 artillery charges.
Since the birth Of Christ 1000, 100000
men have been slain in battle. Before
the beginning Of the Christian era the
losses cannot be estimated, owing to
the very indlstinct and inaccurate &C.
counts that have been handed down.
In none of the battles mentioned was
dynamite used. In the wars of the fu-
ture this terrible agent of destruction
must be reckoned on. Men who have
studied the mortality statistics or the.
past shudder at the thought of what
may be In store in the wars that are to
come. Only recently has the use of dyt
Mantle In land warfare been considered
safe for the army using 1t. The modern
dynamite gun, however, has seemingly
solved the problem, and the men who
20 to war hereafter will face an agent
of destruction beside which the charges
of Napoleon's old guard were child's
play.

How Chamberlain First Met His wire

The speech Of Joseph Chamberlain,
advocating an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States. attract
ed so much attention that many per.
sons in discussing the subject recall
the visit which Mr.. Chamberlain made
to washington In 1887 as chairman OF
the fisheries commission. He was the
social lion of the hour. A Baltimore
lady who met him tells the following
story to the Sun:
"He was big, burly man, caring SO
little for his appearance that at one Oh
the most fashionable dinners of the sea-
son his cravat got turned to almost
under his ear and his shirt stud came
unfastened, and he sat calmly obllv-
ious to either accident. His brains and
charm In conversation won him friends
wherever he went.
zone day he called on a lady who
happened to be giving q girls lunch-
con. She went out at once to sec him,
and laughingly said that II he did not
mind being the only man present she
would be delighted If he would come
In the dining-room and take the va
cant place of one Of her young friends
who did not come. He was not afraid
to face a lot of American Beauties so
he accepted gayly, and the vacant place
happened to be next that Of Miss Endi-
colt, daughter of Secretary of War
william G. Endicott, Of Massachusetts,
a dove-like, slender girl, one of the
greatest bellies of the day.
"The outcome of this was the mar
rage of the English statesman and
the Puritan maid, as she was often
called, his neighbor at an entertain
ment to which he had only been bid
den by that fate which shapes our
ends. rough hew them as we WILL"
