 On Saturday 1O4 people visited the library, and 93 books were taken out.
 An advance copy of Mrs. Mabel Os-
 good Wright's new romance, "Poppea
 of the Post-Office," has been presented to the library. It is from the house Of
 Macmillan, Fifth avenue. and is very
 daintily bound. The many admirers
 of Mrs. Wright will find in this new
 book those attractive character
 sketches of the familiar semi-rura1
 type for which our genial and charm
 ing author is already famous. There is a sweet simplicity in suburban
 stories which is quite captivating, and
 they drop from Mrs. Wright's pen like
 pearls in the sunshine. Mrs. Wright
 has written at least six other books. if not more, and great deal of mis- cellaneous matter about birds. She is known to many readers as Barbara .' A shelf of some 50 essays has been carefully selected from the shelves of the library, and placed in the reading room in the hope that many readers will take some of these books in lieu of so much romance. Among the au- thors represented are Van Dyke, Hig- ginson, Howells, Emerson. Hillis,
 Mabie. Bangs. Doyle. Garland. Hale, Cox, Carleton and Earle.

To Stop Hiceouahs.

DR.. Louis Kolipinski reports the ar
rest Of persistent hiccoughs by de-
pressing the tongue. A patient was
attacked by hiccough which had per.
sisted for four days before being seen
by the doctor. He complained Of the
fullness In his throat, a condition
which he thought the result Of the hic-
coughs.
He was directed to sit up, and with
a large spoon handle the tongue was
pressed down and back with steady
force to allow inspection Of the
fauces. Firm pressure on the tongue
with the hope Of further noting the &C.
tion Of the palatal muscles was contin.
used, who to the doctors surprise and
the patients astonishment and 10y.
the hiccough ceased. When the hic.
coughs returned the patient himself
stopped 1t by using the spoon handle.

Properly Indignant Besoar.

T Poor Anna Gould! Among her 9TH
er troubles she has had a bitter ex-
perience with the professional French
beggar. Most Of the wealthy owners
Of country houses on the outskirts of
Paris are afflicted with what may be
called their "beggars in ordinary"
These fellows are highly aristocratic
In their mendicancy and must have
their wants attended to at their own
convenience. One such was waiting at
Nine. Annals castle at an early hour,
just after her fifth quarrel with Boni.
She had been up nearly all night and
slept late. The beggar waxed impatient,
and, turning fiercely upon the foot
man, said:
"How long dye suppose she'll be be-
fore she comes?'
Really can't say" replied the valet,
maybe ten minutes, maybe three
hours"
Then I'll tell ye what It is. "growled
the mendicant, "she may provide her.
self with another beggar-tell her that
from mel" And of he went.

About the time everybody was hik

get out to the country. No, stree! The
man that stays in bed after five
o'clock on summer morning misses
not only the finest time of the day
but the most splendiferous time of the
whole year. Nothing can equal those
first two or three hours after sun uI

Then's when a man ought to hustle
out and get some of that priceless

In something less than a week after
that Mrs. Goitt was endeavoring to
awaken her husband and get him out
Of bed In time to catch the eight
o'clock car to town.
1t was some moments before he re.
gained even partial consciousness
Then her words concerning nine hours
sleep being enough for any man just
seemed to harass him to the point ol
actual grouchiness.
"Whatchuh wanta drag a man out
Of bed fof Just when he's getting the
best part Of his sleep?" he asked pee
vishly. "This thing OF getting out ol
bed in the early hours of the morn
ing is the most bughouse gag you've
tried to pull of since I've known you
What's the sense to 1t, anyway" By
that time Goitt was well aroused and
getting warmed up to his subject
Don't you know" he went on, that
all this talk about the advantages Of
getting up early in the morning and
losing your sleep just for the sake Of

farmers all get up 80 early in the

far enough"
