AS TO CURING HICCOUGHs.
YawninE Said to be the Only Ger
tain and Speedy Remedy.

tain and Speedy Remedy.
"Yawning is about the best cure I
know Of for hiccoughs," said an OBJ
servant man, land have stumbled on
the truth quite by accident. 1t was
proved in my case, a sure cure, and
by reflection am convinced that 1t is
perfectly logical result, a result, ex-
plainable, too, on physical grounds.
"All kinds of remedies are resorted
to by men who suffer periodically with
hiccoughs, like stopping the ears and
drinking a glass Of water slowly and
without a stop, or by holding the
breath, or counting or thinking in
tently on some subject, and in many
other ways. I have tried all Of these
remedies, and at times have been fair
ly successful in checking the hiccoughs.
Again, I have seen each one of these
remedies fail. In my own experience,
so far as these remedies are concerned,
drinking a glass Of water slowly and
without breathing is the most satisfac-
tory. But it is torturing enough. on
the other hand, the yawn Is not only
efficacious, but 1t is absolutely without
any Of the torturing features. There Is;
as I said before, probably good physi-
cal reason for the yawn being a good
remedy for the hiccoughs. The hic-
coughs is described as being modified
respiratory movement, a spasmodic In
spiration, consisting Of Il contraction of
the diaphragm, accompanied with clos
ure. of the glottis, &c that further en-
trance Of air is prevented. The impulse
Of the column Of air entering and strik-
ing upon the closed glottis produces
the sound peculiar to the ailment. 1t
is reasonable to assume that anything
that would relieve the contracted state
of the diaphgram and would reopen the
closed glottis, or partially open it, so
the air could enter 1t In normal way,
would completely relieve the situation.
It would seem that the yawn, when IS
nothing more than deep, long BREATH
would bring about this result. While
the yawn is supposed to be an involun-
tary movement, due to drowsiness, II Is
vet a fact that a man can yawn at
pleasure This being true, it is easily
within a mans power to cure the hic-
coughs by resorting to the very sim
pie practice of yawning. OF course,
cannot say that in all cases of hic-
coughs the yawn will prove good rem
edy. But 1 believe in all ordinary cases
where the annoyance is not aggravated.
the yawn will do the work. At any
rate. my own experience has convinc-
ed me of the fact, and, besides, there
are the physical conditions, to which l

Eccentric woman's Hobby.

OF course, the snake is very small
one, but still it is snake, and as many
people have an aversion TO reptiles,
no matter what their size, this fad of
Lady Constance's has aroused much
comment.
The reptile lodges in the bodice of

Put Your Gloves on Properly.

A glove with the seams twisted Is
anything but neat, and does a great
deal to mar a woman's appearance.
The correct way to put on gloves is
as follows: First shake little soap
stone powder into each finger; then
place your elbow firmly on the table
with the hand upright, and the thumb
extended toward the palm. Draw the
body of the glove over the fingers and
after seeing that each seam of the
glove is straight with the lines of the
finger, coax each finger into the cor
responding finger of the glove. Re-
member that the appearance of the
glove ever after, and of its wearing
possibilities, also, depend upon the way
you put on the glove for the first time.
Be sure that the stitching on the
back of the glove is straight. Then
insert the thumb and look once more
to see IL the seams are all straight;
If not, pull the glove off, and begin
again. The seam at the top of the
thumb should be in line with the mid
die Of the thumb nail. Smooth the
wrist neatly and then put ON the other
glove. When both gloves are on and
well worked over bot -ngers and
palm, begin to button the left hand by
skipping the first one and fastening
all the others. Then treat the right
hand In similar manner; finally go
back to the first button and the left,
then on the right hand. The glove
will not fit the hand as it should until
this first button is fastened. Buttons,
not hooks or fasteners Of any kind,
are used on the better quality of
gloves. Gloves should be worn 80 that
they fit snugly, but must never squeeze
the hand.-American Queen.

100 years old. and was the Oldest
