TO STOP HIccoUGHS.
If It's Simple Case Try Sneeze or
Hama From a Beam.

Hang From Beam.
Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar, says
the New York Medical Journal. Pull
ing the tongue forward and holding it
for some time is an effective proce-
dure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patent is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole, so that his feet do not touch the
floor. With all the abdominal muscles
tense, have him hold his breath as
long as possible.
Sneezing is very efficient in certain
cases, since it is the exact opposite to
hiccough. being a sudden eXpiratory
act. In PlatOs Symposium" the ply
sician EryXimachus recommended too
much, either to hold his breath or to
gargle with a little water, and If not
relieved to tickle his nose and sneeZe
whereupon the hiccough would he sure
to go.
The spelling "hiccOugh" is recent,
being a combination of the syllaDles
"hic" and the latter term of cough.
which is without either physiological
or genealogical basis; the pronuncla-
ton. with perhaps the rarest eXcep-
tions, is still that of the older form
"hiccup," earlier given variously-as
"hickup," "hickupsnickup," ''hickhop,"
"hickcock." hitchcock" and "hickett,
with quasi diminishing sutfiXes ock'
ct; but the "hick" a syllable aptly eX-
pressive of the spasmodic sound pro-
duced by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, Is found in
all references to the origin of the term
To which the writer has been able to
obtain. The term singultus is rarely
used.

PSYCHOLOGY OF A CROWD.
A Chance to Study It In Those Who
Watch the Daily Dropping of the
Time Ball,


Any one interested in psychology,
and particularly the psychology of a
crowd" remarked a Broadway store
keeper, ought to take a few observa-
tions near Broadway and Ann street
at the noon hour. Having done this
myself many times | have discovered
one thing and that is that a very
large number of busy men are perfect
ly willing to waste five minutes and
risk a stiff neck for no other reason
than To see something which they
know is going to happen and which in
many instances they have often seen
before.
Having place nearby of course /
have been able to observe this curious
instinct of a crowd more closely than
some others, and what does not strike
YOU as funny when you see it just once
is apt to do SO when YOU see ii again
and again. OF course | refer to that
daily occurrence at the noon hour of
the time ball sliding down the pole on
top of the Western Union building.
when the clocks around are point
ing to five minutes of the noon hour
every day | can see stragglers here
and there begin To stop and fix their
gaze on that ball. The effect of this
is To cause a lot of seemingly busy
people to follow the direction of the
nd thpn
to a dead stop too. Others do the same
thing until. at a guess, | should say
that the crowd includes messenger
boxes. car conductors, lawyers, mer-
chants and men in all kinds of busi-
ness.
"Rv three minutes before the ball is
due to drop the corner here is almost
solidly packed and so is the opposite
corner. Now the funny part of the
thing which daily observe is this, that
of all these people who wait here Tour
and five minutes just about one IN
twenty makes any pretence of taking
out a watch and seeing whether he has
the right time when the ball does drop.
Instead they see the ball go down the
pole and then instantly resume their
Journeys. In other words, just about
~ per cent of the crowd has stopped
and lost four or five minutes Tor no
other purpose than Just To satisfy the
lnnging of their eyes.
Another observation | have made
from nv advantageous position is
this: That this same longing of the
eyes. if yielded To. may become hah-
it, like other things. This is based on
the fact that have observed the same
people stop here and go through the
performance many times. They do II
because the crowd is doing ii and
that's all. guess. Anyway, I'd like
to hear the psychologists discuss it,"

a Queer Medical Superstition

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

n. A. B.: Camphorated cream is bet. ter to use for cold sores and chappec lips than ordinary cold cream. The fol. lowing formula has proved very good for such purposes: Two ounces of nut. ton tallow, two ounces of oil of sweet almonds and a piece of camphor gum the size of a large pea. Melt all to- gether until creamy then stir gently till cold and put in a jar with screw top.
 New Reader. Cut the time down from twenty minutes to eight minutes that you are giving to the facial massage and you will have better results. Too vigorous or too long continued massage will break down and deplete the tissues instead of building them up. Let the movements be light; go over the face nourishing cream and watch the time religious1y so you will not continue it over the magic eight minutes. Then dip a soft towel in cold water and hold against the flesh for a minute to close the pores. and your treatment vii! be of decided benefit.
 Disappointed: Oily bleaches are sell dom as satisfactory as a bleach pre- pared without oils, and you will find a mild, non-greasy bleach, applied every night regularly for some weeks, will prove the most satisfactory in the end. A bleaching cream which gradually whitens the skin without irritating 1t is always the best to use, and is moro permanent in the results it brings. Do you protect your skin with the coating of cream and powder before taking those long rides? The ounce of prevention is quite essential if you would preserve your complexton.
