But things have changed & good deal of late. In the first place, those of late years, notably that at the beginning of this month, have been overhead fogs, which made the noonday like night, although in the streets it was perfectly clear, and there was little or no dislocation of traffic. This fs sald to be owing to the | fact that a few hundred feet up the air is cold enough to condense the moisture, whereas in the streets the air is warm enough to keep the mois- ture uncondensed. This variety of fog is certainly the least objectionable, for it enables people to go about their business without groping along the walls in utter darkness, as used to be | the case. Another change that must be noted is the prevalence of fogs in Paris, notably in the present month, when in the first weex the fog wes much worse on the banks of the Seine than on the banks of Thames. Some years ago, when Paris burned wood, the city had no real fogs, but now that it has taken to burning coal it has imported the “Lon- don particular.” And as the Seine at Paris is not tidal, there is less chance of a breeze to carry away the fog than there is even in London.

Johnny astonished the family in the country one day by announcing that he wanted to go home. 3 “What's that?” demanded his father. “Want to go home?” “Yep,” maintained the boy. “Well, that's very funny. It wasn't two days ago that you were hegging us to stay up on this farm until Oc- tober. Are you sick?” “Nope.” “Got the blues?” “Mad because your mother won't let | you go swimming?” e | ! I think I understand,” said | his father with a chuckle. “I happen | to hear you sassing that farmer’s boy yesterday out back of the barn, and [ also happened to see him flop you on your back.

I cannot bear | the orderly array of my life.

I miss his unvarying attention and as | constant neglect.”—From “Letters of Mrs. James G. Blaine.” Used Dolls to Set Fashions. Long before women's newspapers were started, and fashion plates im their modern form were thought of, | women derived theif knowledge of the fashions from dolls dressed in modern | costumes, which were sent from one country to another, more espenlnlly; from Paris, which then, as now, was | the leading center of the mode. | The Most Dangerous Capital. | London, which used to boast of boi ing the quietest and safest capital of | the world, has become noisier than | Paris and more dangerous than New York.

Science at Last Has Devised Cure for Troublesome Gomplaint, Did you ever take nine swallows of water to cure the hiccough Do you remember the time somie ome soared the hiccoughs away by teliing you of a whipping due for some meanness? Well, science has been studying hic coughs and canght the hiccoughs by the “nape of the neck.” The nine swallows of water bad a little solence in it, and so did the scare cure. The scientific hiccough cure cousists in pressing down to numbness the nerve that connects the stomach, heart, lungs and brain, the pneumogastric nerve. The pressure.partially and locally paralyzes this nerve and of necessity the hiccoughing must cease. Have the hiccoughing patient sit down and be at ease, with the muscles of the neck relaxed as much as pos- sible. Grasp both sides of the meck somewhat toward the back part and press down steadily and as hard as the subject may permit for about one min- ute, having the patient work the head from side to side. Within about one minute the nerve will be numbed and rested and the spasmodic motion will cease. It may require longer pressure is some cases, but the resuit is sure 1f patience is meintained.
