ONE CURE For AIccoucHs.
Neighbor Got Dying Man Reni Excited
Proving His Theory.


A Binghamton man began to hic.

up all day and all night, and was hard

that his alarmed friends gave him

grew worse.
Then wise ncighbor had bright
idea. He thought it all out himself
He went over TO the hiccougher's
home. and was ushered into the room
where the afflicted one was fast hic-
coughing his life away.
"Hullor said the neighbor in light
and cheerful tone; 'how's the old soak
this morningy"
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the
neighbor in a painful surprise.
Don't give me any of your croco-
die glances," snorted the friend. "Gf

strings Of Pearls in the Hair.

London is at last waking to life,
dinners become more frequent. and
jewels are once more in requisitlon.
The newest notion is TO twist strings
of pearls in the hair. and If this is
neatly and artistlcally done, the effect
is excellent, especially when the hair
is dark. This is really an old fashion
revived, as a glance at books Of beauty
or portraits OF ancestresses will easily
prove, 1t is by no means necessary
to use real pearls; indeed, many peo
pie consider that contact with the hair

say that the levee and the entire

the consummation of good work

Repeating FalsehOod.
The allegation that the Union
makes with reference to the paving
due bills, is the repetition on its part
OF deliberate misrepresentation
and falsehood. These due bills were
contracted by Mayor McConochie's
administration before Mr.. Medill be-
came mayor. as the Union has been
repeatedly Informed, and yet il per-
sistently and upon every conceivable
occasion faunts the miserable eNhi-
bition of untruth.
Notwithstanding that the Union as
sumes to be oracle of the council and
in its concluding paragraph we are
told of what to expect with reference
to a fire alarm. The Argus still con-
tends that in the face of any argu-
ment it is extreme shortsightedness
for the city to defer the installation
of such an essential to the protec-
