The Hiccoush Epidemic

ne Hiccough Epidemic
A hiccough epidemic which has been
raging in Europe has reached New
York Several cases have been re-
ported twelve bottles to the easel.
The doctors are having a tough
time. They can't tell which hiccoughs
are being INDUCED in as part of the
epidemic and which purely for pleasure
and as matter of personal liberty.
The malady has struck terror to the
hearts of the dry leaders and to all
persons boasting that they never took
a drink in their lives.
France felt it first. Hiccoughs are
about all she can show for five years
of fighting.
That Germany distributed ficcough
germs as last blow is the theory be-
ing advanced by medical men. Ger
many always had a larger native crop
of hiccoughs than any other power.
Late in the war the kaiser reviewed
his shock troops on a day when they
were more full of Shock than usual.
and Immediately realized what 1t would
mean if he could get the enemy that
way.
A great quantity of hiccough germs
were released, the theory is; but moth
ing is harder to control than one of
these bacilli, and they didn't register
until after the armistice.
Had the scheme been successful
we'll picture for yourself the allied
armies trying to give. receive or trans
NIT any instructions or commands

The Obstacle

Their. is now and there has been. for long time
more or less insidious opposition to schemes for the
government development of water power; an effort
TO put water power sites into the hands of private
individuals It is comparatively recently though
that British influences been discovered in this
opposition.
There was an auson to this matter in a recent
statement by General Hugh Cooper to committee
OF the house of representatives investigating water
power development. The voice of General Cooper Is
the voice OF authority. He is the man who devel-
tho Niagara Falls power he also built the power
plant Keokuk He has developed several
plants in Mississippi and has been engaged on the
Muscle Shoals works in Alabama.
During General Cooper served as
dollar-a-year contributing his services to the
government He took pains to tell the committee
that he has all the he wants needs and that
he II = stockholder in any power corporation
by developing our water power, he told the com
mittss produce power at rate of SIS a
horse power. The power which the largest
English mills is produced at cost of s34 a horse
power. Another significant fact brought out at the
investigation was that coal be mined in the
United States laid down English ports cheaper
than It can BIO taken from the mines In England.
Tho development of water power in the United
states. General Cooper regards the most important
thing that be done Before the war the general
says tho subject of developing water power was
looked upon something of gamble There were
engineering problems which at that time were not
completely solved. Since then these problems have
cleared up and today the matter OF developing
power from falling water Is matter Of absolute
engineering certainty and mathematical precision

ear Away and LONG Ano.

The brewers parade in New York
city in 1888 has never been duplicat-
ed. There were hogsheads entwined
in hop vines and live Bacchus was
the feature of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend its
way through New York streets, in eel
ebration of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian says
in part:
1.-THE display OF the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners fluttering
gayly in the air, they paraded cars
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons OF mop vines intertwined
with handfuls OF barley. Seated on
the top of tun was living Bacchus

Earth Is Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely slow, but all the
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours or
daylight increasing with the advancing
year, but to days as timed by the
revolution of the earth on its axis,
The earth's power of rotation. says
writer in the Popular Science
Monthly, is growing weaker and as a
result its revolution on its axis is
slowing up. Which means, of course,
that the day is lengthening.
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day will be equal in length
to the year; that Is. to the time 1t
takes for us to revolve about the sun.
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luminary.
just as the moon now always turns the
same face toward us, and one-half of
our planet will have sunshine all the
year, while the other half is in total
and permanent darkness.
That is, If the sun still is shining.
It may become a dim and chilly orb
before then,

KEEP TO The STRAIGHT PATH
Aimless Explorations on Life;s jour-
1ey Mean the squandering of
Time and Energy.

No matter what the way is in life
you must keep on going to get some
where. The greater the delights of
the way, the slower will be the
progress. The bee that sips from
every flower may be long time coll
lecting his load of honey. The wise
bee goes straight to the honey flowers
and to the place of their greatest
abundance. The child that Ioiters by
the road side Is usually chided when
be reaches the journeys end. You
may escape the Gliding, but nature
and time will charge you with delin-
quency. To be abreast of your abil-
ity you must keep on going. Put your
head to work and your feet will carry
you in the right direction. and reg
ulate your conduct when you reach the
goal. There is too much at stake
to squander time and energy on aim
less explorations. Learn what your
goal in life is to be and then see to
1t that you make every ounce of en-
ergy contribute towards its realiza-
ton. Chart your life and the course
1t should follow and then make every
day bring you nearer to the desired
achievement. You are bound to sue
coed if you learn how to pass the
dividing of the ways.-Grit.

WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY
w>skens the Body for Its Daily Fight
for Health, and So Destroys
Good Looks.

Every minute that a woman spends
in worry, weakens the body for its
daily fight for health. 1t adds age,
it causes deep burrows to appear on
the forehead, it Injuries the digestion
and robs life of all pleasures and
peace. So If you wish to keep your
good looks, don't worry.
Work gives incentive, and thus life
ana health. to the organs of the body.
1t strengthens our will, teaches us
patience, perseverance and the cour-
age to endure. 1t has been the sal
walton of many. The homely duties
that are performed by the house moth
er each day, the sweeping. cooking
and home caring, are wholesome du-
ties which lead to health and strength.
But If women allow their daily
tasks to fret and worry them, they
lose all of the benefit they otherwise
would gain. 1t is not always the ac-
tual work that wears out the nerves
and temper and ruins the disposition.
1t Is the spirit in which the work is
done which allows worry to creep In.

WORLD ALMOST LOST GENIUS
Handel, immortal Composer, Had Re.
markabie Escape From Death in
Duel in Early Life.

The great composer Handel was
born at Halle, February "A, 1884, and
at the outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson, an
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but score buttoned under Handers
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimabie
value to the whole world
In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing. as was the fullness OF his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
vent well at the oratorios it had a
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal it was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed of 100000, of which he be-
queathed one-half to the fund Tor de-
cayed musicians. while the remainder
went to his NOTWITHSTANDING Jour
nal.

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke Of cumber-
land, Was the Sensation Of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, EcIiDse
which died Feb %, 1889, at the ripe
age of 25 years. received his name on
account of his being born during an
eclipse OF the sun. and it became Curl
ously significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke Oh,
Cumberland, a brother IF George III
and afterward became the property of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be-
queathed the animal, along With an
his brood mares and other horses. 20
his brother Philip For many years
Eclipse lived In retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways a source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero OF the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days it was not the custom
to insure the lives Of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When 1t became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds Chicago Journal.
