AS TO CURING HICCoUGHs,
Yawning Said to Be the Only Certain
and Speedy Remedy.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
'Yawning is about the best cure I know
Of for the hiccoughs.' said an observant
man, land I have stumbled on the truth
quite by accident. 1t was proved in my
case a sure cure, and by reflection I am
convinced that it Is a perfectly logical re-
suit, result explainable, too. on physical
grounds.
"All kinds Of remedies are resorted to
by men who suffer periodically with hic-
coughs, like stopping the ears and drink
ing a glass of water slowly and without
a stop, or by holding the breath, or count
ing. or thinking intently on some SUBJ
ject. and In many other ways. I have
tried all Of these remedies. and at times
have been fairly successful in checking
the hiccoughs. Again, 1 have seen each
one Of these remedies fail. In my own
experience, so far as these remedies are
concerned. drinking glass of water slow
ly and without breathing is the most sat-
isfactory. But 1t is torturing enough. On
the other hand, the yawn is not only
eff1cacious but 1t is absolutely without
any Of the torturing features. There is.
as said before. probably good physical
reason for the yawn being a good remedy
for the hiccoughs. The hiccoughs is de-
scribed as being a modified respiratory
movement, a spasmodlc inspiration, consist
ing of contraction Of the diaphragm. ac-
companied with closure of the CLOTHS, so
that further entrance of air Is prevented.
The impulse Of the column of air enter
ing and striking upon the closed CLOTHS
produces the sound peculiar to the all
ment It Is reasonable to assume that
anything that would relieve the contracted
state Of the diaphragm, and would reopen
the closed CLOTHS. or partially open it. so
the air could enter in a normal way,
would completely relieve the situation It
would seem that the yawn, which is moth
ing more than deep, long breath, would
bring about this result. While the yawn
Is supposed to be an involuntary move
ment. due to drowsiness. 1t is yet a fact
that man can yawn at pleasure. This
being true. 1t is easily within a mans
power to cure the hiccoughs by resorting
to the very simple practice Of yawning.
OF course 1 cannot say that in all cases
of hiccoughs the yawn will prove a good
remedy. But I believe in all ordinary
cases, where the annoyance Is not aggra-
waited. the yawn will do the work. At any
rate, my own experience has convinced
me OF the fact, and. besides, there are the
physical conditions. to which I have re-
ferred."

Carpenters team.
After accepting the above report a discus
sion was had on the desire of several trades
unions of the city to re-establish the old
Local Federation of Trades. The advisable
ity OF this step was stated to be for the
purpose of bringing together quite a num-
Der Of trades not directly affiliated with the
Central Labor Union or the knights of
Labor. and also trades affiliated with one
or the other named central bodies. No def
mite action on the part of the district as
sembly was taken.

protect the interests of organized labor and
to bring all classes of labor more closely
together.
Fourth. To establish libraries and read
ing rooms for employed and unemployed
labor, which will act as a free bureau and
recrea ton room.
Fifth. To aid the destitute to benefit the
helpless, to eliminate the hatreds and to
improve the condition of labor throughout
| the country without prejudice or class dis
tinction.
The committee of the Central Labor
Union which is soliciting contributions for
the relief of the miners have issued an
appeal, which states:
LAS far as present indications go there
is not a sign Of settlement in sight, but
instead the governor of that state is get
ting in readiness the entire military force
of the commonwealth.
"All efforts on the part of the miners, of
business men ard citizens generally to
bring the operators to arbitration have
been lamentable failures The operators
insist that there is nothing to arbitrate.
I'VE submit to all fair-minded citizens
whether the miners are asking too much
when they insist that they ought to have
a check weighman, whose wages they will
pay, without cost to the company, whose
duty 1t will be to that the coal mined
is honestly weighed. Does 1t not appear
that the miners suspicious, likewise their
charges of robbery, are correct, inasmuch
the parties SO charged decline to dis
prove the same? Surely there appears
cause for all this strife. The miner must
be right, or else the operators would only
be too glad to show the public generally
that the charges against them are without
foundation. But no! 1t would seem that
the robbers had been caught red-handed,
and. of course, are not going to convict
themselves.
These miners deserve public sympathy
when il is understood that they are simply
demanding an increase of - per cent Of
wages, which in the past has not been suf-
iicient to support their wives and little
ones decently; reduction of the hours Of
grinding and dangerous toll and the recog-

KING EDWARD in LONDON
His Majesty's Return Was Marked BY
Great Demonstration.

Great Demonstration.
London, Aug. 6-King Edward arrived
in London this afternoon. His males
tvs return to the capital was marked
by a great street demonstration en-
route to Buckingham Palace. The trip
to London was made on a royal special
train, but there was no invalid chair
or other special arrangement, and his
majesty was fully equal to the fatigue
OF the journey The king landed at
Portsmouth and entrained for Lon
don at $50 o'clock this afternoon. His
drive to Buckingham Palace was by
an extended route instead of the di'
rect way, in order that the public might
have an opportunity to see and con
graduate the sovereign.
The king has commanded that cOro
nation day and the anniversary Of his
coronation be observed as "collal
day." a day Of ceremony at the Eng
fish court, when the courtiers wear the
collars of their orders.
A story afioat for several days that
a second operation for appendiciti:
will be performed on the king aftei
the coronation is denied here. Ac
cording to all authoritative reports the
king is making an excellent recovery
and it is considered unlikely that hi
physicians would allow him to endure

if another operation was impending

only or per cent of the human fam
lily live to be sixty years of age or

world Of an aged Christian. with 90
or % per cent of his contemporaries
gone is a perpetual warning that we
must be about our Fathers business
or the death summons will come and
we shall find that we have accomplish
ed nothing.
The Present Is the Time.
The aged Christians ought to appeal
to us in the same way that the final
review of the Potomac army appealed
to the spectators in Washington in
1865. In that passing army the places
of he dead were kept vacant. As reg
iment after regiment and brigade after
brigade marched past the president of
the United States there were in some
lines only ten or fifteen men. The va
cant places showed that hundreds
upon hundreds and thousands upon
thousands Of soldiers who went forth
TO battle never came back. Those
ragged lines and those torn battlefags
showed that there was another great
army of the Potomac that day Sleep
Ing IN its grave trenches. As the little
band of aged Christians marches past
us today we see that 1t is mere rem
nant Of great host which once start
ed out marching side by side. The
white lips of the dead as well as the
trembling lips Of the living Christian
veterans beside us are speaking en-
tirely different words from those with
which the Grecian philosopher fright
ened the trembling Athenians. The
dead lips Of the aged Christian con-
temporaries are saying to US: Most of
you will never be old men. Most of
you will never be old women. Most
Of you will die in your youth or in
middle life. Therefore, what you are
to do for Christ you must do soon or
you will never do it at ALL"
Perhaps this may be a chimerical
fancy, but l believe that some of our
aged Christians now living may be
lingering upon this side of the river
Of death in order to carry to heaven tC
our departed loved ones the latest
news about the dear ones on earth
You know the Bible declares that the
celestial messengers are continually
ascending and descending between
earth and heaven. Jacobs dream was
not all fanciful dream. The sleeping
son of Isaac saw the angels ascending
and descending the ladder which con
nected earth with heaven. So believe
that the aged Christians are lingering
this side of the Jordan for awhile il
