Lasts Week or Longer.


"In the epidemic through which we
are now passing many cases have oc-
Cured in which patients hiccuped
every three or four seconds for peri
ods of week or longer.
"Thermitte points out that the first
appearance of the epidemic of which
he knows occurred in Vienna in the
winter of 1919-1920. Large numbers
of persons were suddenly attacked
with spasms of hiccups and did not
respond to treatment. In most cases
they ceased of their own accord after
a few days.
This authority also asserts that
there have been hiccup epidemics for
centuries, none of Which has ever been
understood. The same mechanical
therapeutic measures have always
been used-pressure on the eyeballs
or on the spine; compression of the
arms, swallowing a chunk of bread
and influencing the diaphragm by
forcible fiexion of the legs. The same
measures are used today. The only
thing new in the hiccup situation Is
its suspected connection with encepha-
ltis, which Seems only to deepen the
mystery.

Far Away and Long Ago.

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 cei-
ebration of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian says
in part:
"The display of the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners futtering
gayly in the air, they paraded cars
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons of hop vines intertwined
with handfuis of barley. Seated on
the top of tun was living Baccbus
"a beautiful boy of eight years
dressed In flesh-eolored silk, fitted
snugly to the limbs, and thus disclos-
ing all his fine symmetrical proper
tions In his hand he held silver
goblet, with which he quaffed the nut
brown, and on his head was garland
of hops and barley ears"

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

The great composer Handel was
born at Halle, February "a, 1854, 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 a score buttoned under Handlers
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimable
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
went 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 for de
cayed musicians, while the remainder
went to his relatives Chicago Jour-
nal.

LEPR0SY OIL CURE SUCCESS
Need for Mission Near Honolulu De-
creases-To Abandon 1t
in Few Years.

Honolulu, L. H.--The Catholic leper
mission on the island of AIolokai,
where Father Damien passed the
greater part of his life and eventually
died of the disease, and where Brother
Dutton and others of his faith now are
at work, probably will be abandoned
in the course of few years, owing to
the great success of the chaulmoogra
oil treatment of the lepers, according
to statement by Brother Louis Lei
son, who for twenty-five years has
been stationed at the leper mission.
Five years ago the mission at Ka-
laupa, island of Molokai had from 125
to 130 inmates, While today it has but
63, Brother Louis said. Virtually no
new cases have been received during
the last few years.
The mission, which was established
in the sixties and in which the Catho-
lie priests shortly after took up their
work, is SUPPORTED by appropriations
from. both the territorial and federal
governments. All leper work on the
island, including that of the mission,
is directly under the supervision of the
territorial board of health.

Many Glasses Of Dreams.

There are several distinct classeB
of dreams, which are: The confusing
fantastic dreams dreams we receive
as a warning to be on guard; some
dreams are created through our nerv-
GUS system when something is not In
order in our body. These may come
after eating heavy meals before bed
time, cold feet, etc. These dreams
are to bring our reasoning power to
action Some dreams are created
through the power of fear. Then we
have the prophetic dreams. One kind
of dreams-we believe they are
dreams-are in actuality not dreams,
but actual experiences of the ego,
which leaves the body when at sleep
and travels ON in the mental world.

KEEP TO THE STRAIGHT PATH
AinnIess Explorations on Life's jour
ney 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 o1
the way, the slower will be the
progress. The bee that sips from
every flower may be long time col
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 loiters by
the road side is usually chided when
he reaches the journeys end. You
may escape the chiding, 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
it that you make every ounce of en-
ergy contribute towards its realiza-
tion. Chart your life and the course
it should follow and then make every
day bring you nearer to the desired
achievement. You are bound to sue
ceed if you learn how to pass the
dividing of the ways.-Grit.

Take "Moviesn Seriously.

Moving pictures are marvel to the
South Sea islanders, according to a
recently returned visitor to that por-
tion of the globe. The tragic part of
the film is too much for the natives,
he said, and there is so much weep
ing and groaning that a man has to
go up in the gallery and tell them
that it will all come out all right in
the end. Thus assured, tho audience
proceeds to wipe up and watch for
further developments, and when the
heroine is rescued and the villain is
thwarted. pandemonium breaks loose,
for the people not only shout, but
dance with joy.

What Is Art?

The conclusion is that heaven born
geniuses are myth. Actors are no
fonder of thinking hard and laboring
hard than any other set Of humans.
The manager, seeing that there doesn't
appear to be very much difference in
their caliber, has taken to selecting
them by their physical appearance.
The actor is the cause, and the man
ager Is the result. The public is
quick to respond to really fine acting
that is what fine acting is, for if it
doesn't make the public respond it
isn't fine acting. You often hear 1t
said that the public doesn't want art.
1t would be just as sensible for a
man to take broken watch to be
mended, state his wants to the watch
repairer and then add that he mustn't
employ skill in the operationl For
what is art in its practice? 1t is
