A Simple Treatment by Which They
Mey Be Cured.
Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you Of
whipping due for some meanness?
Wen. science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the ''nape of the neck" The nine
swallows Of water had little science
in 1t, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach. heart, lungs
and brain. the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and Of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
Of the neck relaxed as much as posi-
BILE. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested. and the spasmodic motion will
cease 1t may require longer pressure
in some cases. but the result Is sure II
patience Is maintained. - Ohio State

A csylon Story About the Reptile and
Its Shining Lure.
Every one knows that Ceylon Is IA.
nous for the amount Of queer and rare
precious stones found In the sands of
its dried up river beds. Among these
Is one called "chlorophane." a rare va
kriety OF nuor spar. which shines at
hight with phosphorescent light. There
has long been q tradition among the
natives that q certain species Of cobra
makes use Of this stone to attract In
sects In the darkness. Indeed, the
name given 1t In ''naja-kaller," or CO
bra stone. A scientist resolved to test
this wonderful story during a stay In
the island, 60 offered any cody 5 ru-
PEGS to point cut . stone carrying CO.
bra. In about a week an old Tamil
came In and offered to show him one.
He followed this guide, and, sure
enough. there. under an immense tama.
rind tree. he saw little point Of steady
greenish light and could family distin-
guish behind q cobra coiled and slowly
waving it's head from side to side. IL
would have been desperately dangerous
to approach the reptile. and the cody
begged him not to do 50. saying that
next night he would himself get the
stone. He did 80. and In rather clever
fashion. Before dark he climbed into
the tree. carrying large bag Of ashes.
After nightfall the cobra turned up. rs
usual, and deposited fits treasure. which
1t carried In its mouth. before It.
Thereupon the cody emptied his bag
Of ashes over the shining object. and
the frightened reptile after wild but
fruitless search crept back into the
jungle. The cody descended, searched
ceived his promised reward.-Londo
