In the meantime the merry meter, like the babbling brook, run, on." We are ready for you with*a great Mne of aobbjr Fall suite for men. NNRREB 6 ROCKENSTEIN. —Talking abont trolley routes between Butler and Pittsburg, the one that wonld serve the greatest scope of conn try would be down the plank road; and the next best would probably be down thiongh Saxon burg. —Geo. Fred ley, a South Side boy,had a rough experience last Monday night. He was held up and robbed in the alley back of Cleeland's iewelry store, and was then tied and thrown into a wagon where he remained all night. —They are putting the "insides in to the new opera-house, this week, and the fellows at work there se< m to know what they are doing. The gallery will rest on immense iron beams, the boxes look pretty, and the fire escapes are all there. —The Japs and Russians are becom ing desperate, and the words brutal, blood thirsty, merciless, horrible, etc., now appear in the reports of the bat tles. The storm that is brewing around Mukden, the ancient capital of the province, will probably be the worst yet. —Another unfortunate man died last week of hiccoughs. No excuse exists for death by this nervous affection. If taken at once a few drops of tincture of amyl on a handkerchief, constantly renewed, will stop the distemper. Af ter a few hours' neglect the amyl is worthless. A surgeon is then neces sary. The patient should be properly etherized and the nerves that connect the diaphragm and the glottis severed. Any student of surgery can find them, because they enter the neck under the clavicle. This nerve should be cut on each side. Injury may accrue [subse quently to the patient as to his ability to swallow solid food, but he will re cover from the hiccough, which, if not checked, will assuredly wear him out aad put him in his grave. Hiccough is due to the simultaneous contraction of the glottis and diaphragm- Anything that will disturb the unity of action will cause a cessation of the spasms. Try the amyl at once. —The close of the season of fresh air work under the auspices of the Pitts burg Association for the Improvement of the Poor again directs attention to this admirable charity. A summary of the report of the season'n work shows the following interesting facts: Four hundred and sixty-four persons were treated to an outing of one day in the country; 478 persons enjoyed outings of two weeks, the cost of which was met out of the working women's vacation fund; 375 persons were entertained at the Oakmont home of the association. Women and children were also sent to the Fresh Air home maintained by the women of Sewickley, and the Kingsley Home took 42 persons to Valencia, But ler county. The merit of this form of philanthropy surely needs no commen tary. To take the poor toilers of the city and the white-fa-ed children whose days are passed in the slums away from their sordid surroundings and out into the green fields where the very air breathes new life into them —is not this the kind of philanthropic service that most nearly fulfils the wishes of the Master? All honor is due to the Chris tian workers who have made this possi ble, and they should have tbe assurance of widespread sympathy and support. —Leader. Cliurcli Dedication.
