81 f~orbearing fellow. He did not
demand a full explanation OF
his friend. There was enough
natural wit in his merry head TO see
that in connection with their departure
there was something that would not
admit of discussion wen by confden-
tial friends. He shrewdly formed his
own conclusions and held his peace.
Nor did he betray surprise when Lor-
nv Informed him in answer to a ques-
ton that he intended to remain in
Edelweiss for some time, adding that
he could not expect him to do likewise
if he preferred to return TO Paris. But
Ar. Anguish preferred 10 remain in
Edelweiss. Had not the Countess Dag
mar told him she would always be
happy TO see him at the castle, and a
he any reason to renounce its walls?
And so it was that they tarried to-
gether.
Lorry loitered aimlessly, modify,
about the town, spending gloomy days
and wretched nights. He reasoned
that il were wisdom to fly, but a force
than reason held him ip Edel

the castle wall, but turned back reso
Iutely. There was hope in his breast
that she might SEND for him. There
was m least the possibility of seeing
her should she ride through the streets.
Anguish. on the other hand, visited the
castle daily. He spent hours with the
prptty mi undismayed by the
noble moths that duttered about her
flame. and he was ever persistent
light hearted and gay. He brought 10
Lorry's ears all that he could learn OF
the princess. Several times he had

CURE FOR HiccouGHs.
Simple Scientific Remedy That Gives
Immediate Relief.

An attack of hiccoughs brings It's vic
tim less sympathy perhaps than almost
any other ai!maht the main reason be-
ing that. except in very rare cases. it
Is not attended with fatal results and
that in most cases 1t attacks otherwise
healthy persons. Still, II Is one of the
most annoying and most obstinate of
difficulties While the effort to cure 1t
is being made it generally disappears,
yet it rcsists the most vigorous effort
of the will to control its yagaries.
A hiccough is quick, involuntary,
inspiratory movement Of the dia-
phragm, brought suddenly to a stop
by an involuntary closing OF the glot-
It's. The muscles that control these
two portions of the human anatomy
are incessant workers. They wait on
every breath without being guided by
the will and even work while we sleep.
While they do their duty life passes,
tranquil, calm and pacific, but il from
any cause a disturbing element enters
into their bailiwick they rebel, are be-
You'd the control OF the will and, hav-
ing no guide, as 1t were, run away. and,
like any runaway. have no care for the
damage done. The effort to remove
the disturber is the cause of the, hic-
cough, and the following method of
treatment arrests these muscles in their
wild escapade. brings them back to
their duties, and. like the patient serv-
ants they are. they resume their work
and life becomes as placid as before:
First, expel all the air from your
lungs very. very quickly. The portion
of the body they attend to is. as it
were, collapsed and now commences
the next and concluding part of the
cure.
Second. commence to fill your lungs
with air, but do so very slowly, but
steadily Fucker your mouth, and If
possible leave an opening Of your lips
no larger than pin. and through this
inhnle the air Fill your lungs, raise
your arms and throw out your chest,
and when you are full these muscles
resume their regular duties and the
hiccoughs are gone.-Brooklyn Eagle.

5000 WORDS A MINUTE.
p. n. Delaney Invents Great Telegraph
system

System.
New York, Dec. z3.--Telegraph mes
sages can be sent and received at
a rate of from 1000 to 1900 words
a minute. A reporter saw and heard
yesterday a message transmitted and
delivered at the former speed. Some
idea of this tremendous speed is got
from the fact that the present rate
of commercial communication is four
teen and half words minute. The
inventor OF the new process expects
to change the whole system of busi-
Tess communication. Today the
transmission OF messages can, by the
use OF the shortest code, with the
most expert operators, reach only an
average rate Of $500 words an hour
The record is 5000. Here is an hours
work done in a minute.
The inventor. p. II. Delaney, who
devised the multiplex system, has been
working on his last device for ter
years in South Orange. Stripped pf
all technicality, the new automatic
telegraph system may be described az
follows:
A typewriter keyboard, properly
manipulated, causes two rows of per-
forations to be made upon a narrow
tape of paper, which unwinds Itself
automatically over the type faces ard
rewinds after being perforated This
contains the message in Morse
cipher, the dots being read when two
holes are at a close angle OF nearly
In perpendicular alignment, and the
dashes when the angle is greater. This
tape, reeled as it is finished is put
upon the transmitter. which sends the
same dashes and dots to the receiving
office.
A variation of the methods OF re-
ceiving adapts the device to severn
requirements. In the ordinary form
the words are reproduced in writte1
Morse" or by q series of short and
long dashes upon a paper tape chem.
ieally treated to show discolorations.
or ink marks as, traced by the record
ing needle or stylus BY another
means the perforations are reproduced
as originally made for the purpose
of 'relaying" or forwarding.
The actual mechanism employed IN
all parts of the sending and receiving
apparatus is simple, tho necessarily
delicate
The perforator is an adjunct of the
and is controlled by pow
erful and very rapid electric motor
