Treatment n Hay Fever.

Professor Binz, of Bonn, writes to
Nature that from what he has observed
OF recent English publications on the
subject OF hay fever, he is led to sup
pose that the English authorities are
not accurately acquainted with the dis
covery OF Professor Helmholtz in 1868,
that certain uncommon low organisms
are present in the nasal secretions in
this complaint, and that quinine ar
rests their action. Professor Helm
holtz has been subject to this disease
since 1847, and from the fact that the
attack always commences in his case
between May 20 and the end of June,
he was led to the suspicion that organ
isms might be the cause of the mis-
chief. Examination with the INNER
sion lens of a very good microscope
proved the presence of vibrio-like
bodies, which he could never find at
other seasons in the nasal secretions.
Remembering the poisonous action of
quinine upon infusoria, he made weak
neutral solution of sulphate Of qui-
nine, containing one part of the salt to
eight hundred of water. This was ef-
fective enough, and caused moderate
irritation of the mucous membrane.
Lying fiat on his back he poured from
a pipette about four cubic centimeters
into the nostrils, turning the head
about in order to let the liquid flow in
all directions. This produced the de-
sired effect. He could expose himself
to the sun without bringing on tho fits
of sneezing and the other disagreeable
symptoms, and it was sufficient to re-
peat the treatment three times q day
even under the most unfavorable Cir
cumstances. One treatment a day is
enough if he goes out only in the even
ing. No vibrios are then found in the
secretion. After treatment for some
days the symptoms disappear com
pletely, but the treatment must be kept
up until the end of the time during
which the attack would ordinarily
make its appearance. In Professor
Helmholtz's case this is, as before said,
between May 20 and June 80.

Popular Fallacy and Deeeptions.

1t is an infrmity of man to cling to
the teachings of past generation, and
to stubbornly resist the light of reform
and progress. Health-reform and
Temperance growth are iealously
watched over by the Poison Bitters
compounders. One great prevailing
deception of the present age, is the i'm
preston that every human biped of
either sex must be stimulated, and the
poisoned chalice is labeled g Medicated
Bitters," the better to palliate their use
and prolong the epidemic. One of the
most jealous workers to cure this NAL
ady, DR.. Joseph Walker, Inventor and
Proprietor of the famed California
Vinegar Bitters, believes in making
Bitters that are "true medicine" and
advises the sick man to swallow a
draught that will wash out the Leprosy
of his disease. In this faith he is
steadfast, and his Vinegar Bitters,
though contradiction to the general
character of all other Bitters, are, as a
great success and Life VitaliSer, evil
dence of one popular fallacy and cor
rected.-COm.

Indians at Work.

The quiet which has prevailed of late
in what may be called the central por-
tion of the West, says dispatch from
Omaha, Nebraska. is believed by we'll
informed army officers to be due to the
fact that the Sioux warriors had been
withdrawn to the north to watch Gus
ter's expedition, while the southern
Cheyennes and Arapahoes were oper-
ating on the Kansas borders. Events
indicate that the Sioux have returned
to their old country and that they are
bolder than ever. Three war parties,
supposed to be Sioux, dashed into Bra
dy Island, village and railroad station
on the Union Pacific, 26S miles west of
Omaha, and drove off a number of
horses and cattle belonging to residents
of the place. Section men employed
on the railroad report that the Indians
numbered about fifteen men in each
party, They killed no one in the vii
lage, but were seen firing at white
man who was walking along the track,
and an East-bound passenger train ran
over a man at the same place. Exam
ination proved that the body was cold
and that it had fresh gunshot wounds.

Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms.

Cabinet or Parlor organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can be made at
half the cost of good ones, and few peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference
from q first examination. Manufac-
turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high
as the value of such cheap work. Then
the pedler starts out and puts them on
the people in various ways. He sells
at an enormous discount, if he can get
cash takes part trade, if necessary, or
leaves the organ awhile on trial, and
sells it on long time at manufacturers
price," exhibiting the catalogue to
show that it is such, or even at dis
count from this, which he can we'll af-
ford.
The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.
have recently announced plan which
is likely to interfere with this business.
This Company, as is well known, makes
only the best work, which, by its uni
form excellence, has obtained the high
est reputation for their organs. They
proved the best, and obtained the high
est awards at the recent Vienna and
Paris Worlds Expositions, as they
have uniformly done in American In
dustrial competitions. The fact that
these organs are the best in the world
is too we'll established to need further
endorsement.
The Company have now added large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design to greatly increase
their business. This they propose tt
do by offering organs for time pay
ments, or for rent with privilege of pur
chase. at barely sufficient advance OF
the cash prices to afford reasonabl,
interest for the time. An organ ma,
be hired by the quarter with privileg
of purchase at any time in one year o
longer. If purchased within the year
the whole cost, including rent paid, i
only five to ten per cent. more than
the cash had been paid down at the be
ginning.
Persons having any idea of purchas
ing, will be wise to send a note to tn
Mason & Hamlin Co., at either Boston
New York or Chicago, and obtain thei
new circulars, beforepurchasing. Com

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
Easy roads lead to hard places.

[abit is O dead tyrant's old law,


Habit is dead tyrant's old law.
To be poor is to begin to be perfect.
The most incorrigible delusion is
conceit.
Virtues and vices go in troops from
fear of the enemy.
Kindness is not relished plain; it
needs the sweet sauce of fattery.
Mingled virtue and vice make very
uncertain twilight in the human soul.
The delicacy of ordinary friendship
is such it cannot endure naked or rag
ged associate.
When men grow virtuous in their
old age, they are merely making a sac
rifice to God Of the devils leavings.
Genuine modesty is the sense of i'm
perfection common to the wise and
good, impossible to the fool and villain.
Though sinking in decrepit age, he
prematurely fails whose memory re-
cords no benefit conferred on him by
man. They only have lived long who
have lived virtuously.
Simplicity of purpose begets sim
plicity of life. This is manifested not
in one way merely, but in every way.
There is no double meaning in bust
ness. There is no praying for the sal
vation of souls, and then, for the sake
of making money, helping them down
to hell in the ordinary avocation ol
life.

w lid Horses.

The habits of wild horses are we'll
worth studying, for in some particulars
they possess almost human intelligence.
They choose their own chief, which
gives the signal for departure. When
they find field dried up, they walk
through at the head of the column, and
are the first to throw themselves into a
ravine, river, or an unknown wood.
If any extraordinary object appears,
the chief commands halt. He goes
to discover what it is, and after his re-
turn gives by neigh the signal of con-
fidence, of flight, or combat. If a
fierce enemy presents itself that cannot
be escaped by fleeing, the herd unite
themselves into a dense circular clus-
ter, all heads turned toward the center,
where the young Is take refuge.
1t is seldom that such a vancouver does
not force the tigers or lions to make a
preclpitate retreat.

CoRNs.-Soft corns are cured by
warm water bathings and buckskin
protectors, and no parings are neces-
sary. Hard corns on the top of the
toes, at the joints, can always be re-
moved in two or three days by simply
soaking the feet in warm water for
about twenty minutes, night and morn
ing, rubbing the corn with the end of
the finger while under the water. This
hastens the softening, and in day or
two the kernel can be picked out with
the finger nail. If the corn is shaved
off the roots deepen beside, trouble
some bleedings sometimes follow, and
in several cases have ended fatally.

M. Durnof, in August last, was an
nounced to make an aerial voyage from
Calais to England in company with his
wife. The wind proved to be in the
wrong direction, and postponement
was resolved upon but at dinner in
the hotel M. and Nine. Durnof were
taunted with timidity, which so en-
ragged them that they rushed from the
table, got into the basket, and at seven
o'clock were seen mounting into space
with a reasonable certainty of being
blown over the North Sea. Nothing
has since been heard of them.
