the currsncynow being redundant to

Teaching a Boy.

Teach your boy to be generous and
charitable, but teach him also not to
spend his money on himself except for
things he will really need and value.
Let him earn his cents and shillings,
and not grow up a spendthrift under
the idea that he can always and to any
extent draw upon the paternal pocket.
A stingy lad is despicable, prodigal
lad on the road to ruin. just at this
time, when the colleges are sending out
into the busy hustle of life many young
men full of hope, of energy and of am
bition, it would be we'll for parents to
guide, as much as they can, the actions
of these youLg men. The college
graduate is generally pretty apt to feel
his oats, and at fewer periods of his
life does he need greater or more de-
termined curbing than at this. The
opportunity has nov come for making
him a sober, upright, industrious man,
or thriftless spendthrift. How many
broken hearts now mourn that they did
not see this in time and stretch out q
firm hand to save the loved ones from
the abyss that threatened

Hay Fever,

Decaisne has lately been prosecuting
some inquiries in reference to the
disease SO well known in this country
under the name of hay fever, or rose
cold, and he remarks that the affection
appears to attack agriculturists and per-
sons of other occupations indifferentiy,
and that there is no greater tendency to
it among lawmakers and farmers than
any other class of the community. He
therefore maintains that the emana-
lions from forage plants have, at most,
very secondary influence in the case.
All the symptoms OF the disease are
exhibited at any season as the result OF
sudden exposure to cold when the body
is in condition of perspiration.
The author does not think the annual
periodicity, which is usually given as
one of the characteristics of the dis
ease, to be we'll established, many per-
sons, according to his observation, be-
ing sometimes free for years in success
sion, and others experiencing several
attacks at irregular intervals. The
difficulty of breathing, which is some
times considered an inseparable condi-
tion of hay fever, the author maintains
to be simply the result of the more de-
cided extension of the irritation which
attacks tho coniunctiva and the nasal
and pharyngeal mucous surface. lie
concludes, in fine, that hay fever must
be stricken from the list Of diseases as
distinct condition, and that it is to be
regarded simply as catarrhal fever,
influenced and modified according to
individual peculiarities, and by atmos'
pheric conditions which produce acute
affections of the bronchia.
