Whereas. The United States govern
ment at Washington has at the present
time appropriations totalling severil
million of dollars for the election of
monuments and memorials for perpetu-
ating the memories of great men and
great accomplishments, and
Whereas, To secure for Milford one
or more of these large memorials is the
desire of all true Milford citizens, and
Whereas, The only way to open to
the citizens OF Milford to effect such an
accomplishment is to send to Washing
ton a United States senator who will
give his best efforts to secure for Mil
ford granite the recognition it desires
and its adoption by the architects or
sculptors in charge OF government monu-
ments and memorials.
BE it the sense of this meeting that

lereby pledged to do everything in his /
,ower to support. expand and encourage 1

CARS HAVE FIREPRooF FLOOR
English Builders satisAsd With Re-
suits u Experiments ana Are Go.
Inc Ahead.

For some time past attention has
been given In railroad circles to the
question Of nreproofng coaches. and
such coaches are now feature of up.
to-dste practice. says London Tit-Bits.
At Swindon experiments were first
made ON two or three coaches. after
which 1t was decided to extend the
principle to practically all new
coaches; consequently the coaches
now under construction at Swindon
have freproof floors.
The base Of the floors 10 formed Of
sheets Of galvanized corrugated steel,
rtveted together and secured to the
lowest member Of the side framing Of
the coach. On the top of this are fast
ened expanded metal sheets. and on
the bed thus formed the fireproof floor
ing is laid to an average depth OF one
inch. When dry. the material forms .
hard. fire-reeisting substance through
which it will be impossible for flames
to penetrate.
As further precautioa against IRE,
says the Great Northern Railway
Magazine, the coaches are cased with
galvanized steel sheets at the sides
and ends screwed on to the wooden
framing

TO RELIEVE THE RlccoUeHs
gar Often VIII Cure Simple
cascs.

Simple cases Of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. Pull
Ing the tongue forward and hold.
ing it for soms time is an effective
procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough Is re-
iieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms ex-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole. 50 that his feet do not touch the
door. With all the abdominal muscles
tense, have him hold his breath az
long as possible.
The spelling "hiccough" is recent
being combination of the syllables
''hic" and the latter term OF cough"
which is without either physiological
or chronological basis; the pronuncia-
ton. with perhaps the arrest excep.
ton, is still that Of the older form
"hiccup." earlier given variously-as
''hickup." "hickupsnickup," "hickop,"
hitchcock" Hitchcock" and "hickett,"
with quasi diminishing sufhxes ack.
ETC.; but the "hick." q syllable aptly
expressive 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
which the writer has been able to OBJ
tain. The term singultus is rarely
used.-New York Medical Journal.

How Perfum. Z. Weighed.

1t was the Italian physician salvt-
oni who devised a n4icrobalance of
such extreme delicacy that it clearly
demonstrated the loss of weight Of
musk by volatilization. Thus the IN
visible perfume floating off in the air
is indirectly weighed.
The essential part OF the apparatus
is a very thin thread Of glass. fixed
at one end and extended horizontally.
The microscopic objects to be weighed
are placed upon the glass thread near
its free end and the amount Of fexure
produced is observed with a micro
scope magnifying 100 diameters.
A mote weighing one thousandth
OF milligram is said perceptibly to
bend the thread.-Buffalo Courier.

Swiss EnaIIsh.

Swiss English always seems de-
signed to round off the scenery with
the touch Of humor. For years the
best in the writer's collection has
been an inscription by path leading
to a waterfall near Meiringen. which
explained that toll was necessary
for "the foundation and entertaining
Of that path. Until last month, how.
ever, there was nothing quite equal
to the Strasburg cathedral notice:
Express Introduction to circulate dur.

Dickens Shocked by Wreck.

Survivors Of great railway acci.
dents do not readily forget the ex.
perience. Charles Dickens did not,
when on June 9, 1885, a train fell
through the bridge at Staplehurst,
England, and the carriage in which
he was travelling hung over the side.
He acted with great GOODNESS and
courage, helping to extricate the
wounded, and then scrambling back
to rescue the manuscript Of Our Mu-
tual Friend" But, though uninjured.
he never recovered from the shock.
Afterward, when travelling, as his
daughter relates. he would often sud
denly fall into . paroxysm Of fear.

Rage. large beads of Precipitation

anniversary Of the accident, Eve years
