The H.y Fever and Influenza.

If / am right in thinking hay fever and infiu-
enza the same, experience has taught me how to
cure the latter, break it up in couple of days
or nights at most. 1t is simply by packing
the face with a wet cloth. Ny plan is to take a
couple of clean, soft cotton pillOw-cases their
equivalent in bulk, Ia piece of old cotton sheet
will answer,) fold 80 as to cover the face from
the lips TO the top Of the head; take piece of
old, soft linen, Ga large handkerchief perhaps,)
fold small enough equally to cover the face, nose,
and eyes, and half of the forehead lay ii on a
piece of flannel, doubled, little larger than the
linen, lay these on the cotton cloth, and tie with
handkerchief across the eyes, tight enough to
hold all in place, wet the linen cloth in cold soft
water, wiring so IS not to drip, but not dry. An
attack had last week was severe had to
change the wet linen and flannel cloths three
times, fresh ones each time,) and the outside
cotton twice the first night-some trouble, but
far better than suffering. The sneezing and
scalding water from the nose continued through
the next day, but one application the second
night ibid not apply it in day time) was siciel;t
/ woke with the delightful feeling THAT my head
was clear and the Inflammation checked. i lap
and pin the cotton cloth on the top of the head,
so as to exclude cold air; this must be guarded
against, and don't attempt to breathe through
the nose, of course. Many years since would
suffer weeks from such an attack and its conse-
sequences before found out this better way.
With the ''blessing of the Lord" without which
dare not recommend it, believe this to be
effeetual far earthly means can help

The Last of the Yespucci.

A decided sensation was created at Washing
ton during the Van Buren, administration by the
appearance there of handsome and well eluca-
ted italian lady who called herself America Yes
pueci, and claimed descent from the navigator,
who gave his name to this continent EXPIRES
ident Adams and Daniel Webster became her es-
pecial friends, and she was soon a welcome
guest in the best society. In a few weeks after
her arrival, she presented petition to Congress
asking first, To be admitted 10 the rights of cit
izenship and secondly, to be given "a corner of
land" out of the public domain Of the country
which bore the name of her ancestor. An adj
verse report, which was soon made, is one of the
curiOsities of Congressional literature. 1t eulo-
gizcd the petitioner, "a Young, dignfed and
graceful lady. with a mind of the highest intel
lectual culture, and heart heating with all our
own enthusiasm in the cause of America and hu-
man liberty The reasons why the prayer of
the petitioner could not be granted were given,
hut she commended to the generosity of the
American people. ''The name of America-our
country's name-should be honored, respected
and cherished in the person of the interesting
exile, from whose ancestor We derived the great
and glorious title A subscription was imme-

Just then it was whispered that Mime. Vespucci
had borne unenviable reputation at Florence
and Paris, and had been induced by pecuniary
consideration, to break off an intimacy with the
Duke of Orleans, Louis Phillippe's Oldest son,
and come to Washington. Soon after, the
Dukes younger brother, the Prince de Joinville,
came to this country, and refused to recognize
her, which virtually excluded her from reputa-
BILE society. For some years subsequently,, she

Now Eat Grapes.

Gentle reader, do Won know the value of the
Grapei We are not speaking of the juice: nor
of the wine, which may become "a mocker;'
nor of brandy, which, still worse, may come to
be fatality but our topic is the fresh, luscious,
health-giving grape. For the elderly OF young
people there is no more healthful fruit. No fruit
now in market is cheaper; none is ever finer at
any season of the year than the rpe grapes of
autumn. The various small fruits, such as straw
berries, cherries Raspberries and blackberries,
often get stale before they reach the hands Of
many of our city customers Grapes keep well
for days and days. During many coming weeks
they will be abundant and cheap. Why, n sin
gle boat on which we voyaged last night down
the beautiful Hudson river was carrying
freight from sixty thousand TO a hundred thou
sand pounds of this luscious fruit. Think of it
forty tons of grapes on one boat, for the New
York market! And how many more of these
boats on this one great highway
Flour and meat We think we must have; but
for the billions and for persons troubled with the
various difficulties of the stomach, the liver and
kidneys, grapes are grateful fruit, and at the
same time valuable medicine. For children,
for the delicate, and for the robust, also, what
autumnal frnit is equal to fresh, ripe grapesf
And emphatically we say that grapes are strong
food that in theIif we have not only the most
healthful and the only naturally adapted sugar,
called by the chemist grape-sugar, Infinitely
perior to that chiefly exotic product, cane sugar,
being more digestible more natural and more
healthful especially for sedentary persons in tenn
perate climates,) but we have also the health
full acids, and a notable amount of those nitro
genous essentials which blood-makers, not
to speak of the various salts which have also
become necessary constituents of the blood.
We say again, now eat grapes. In the coun-
try the writers of these paragraphs has n few
grapevines; one, an entirely wild and natural
vine, which bears grapes as large as small plums.
But he does not raise one-fourth so many grapes
as the mouths dependent upon him gladly con-
sumo; probably not one-tenth so many as they
economy, to consume. We write this to promote
a double interest Our city people could eat
twenty times as many grapes'a they do; our
country friends could find forty times the en-
enlargement which they now have TO send
grapes to market; and both classes would be a
great deal better for it.-N. Y. Erening Post.

The Strange viii of Baron steuben.

In ls60 or 1861, a copy of the will of the Baron
Steuben was published, either in the Louisville
Courier or the Louisville Democrat, and he makes
this strange provision in his will: He devised a
aoodly portion of what estate he had at the time
of his death to two of his favorite house servants,
ON the explicit condition that the said house
servants should carry away his body, and bury
il in some secret place where no one could ever
find it. How he was buried, the writer of this
does not know, does he know how it hap
pened that said will was recorded in the will
book of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky; for
find by reference TO Chambers Encyclopedia,
volume nine, that Frederick William Augustus
Steuben died on his estate, near Utica, n. Y, on
November y, 1874. He was born at Magdeburg,
Prussia, November Is, 1870, and was educated at
the Jesuit colleges at Niesse and Breslau. But
why this will was recorded in this State, the
writer of this is not advised. He only knows
that it was. Probably the original will was re-
corded i'll the proper office in Utica, N Y. If
not 50, then there is no record Of such will,
the will book in the Court of Appeals office at
Frankfort was burned up when that office was
destroyed in ls60.-LoHieriLie Courier.JoHrRdt

passing the House of Lords his curiosity Undue
ed him to make an effort to step in and see them.
None were admitted without an order, except

of the rule, requested admittance.

''To the Lord Jehovah" replied Webster

"But," says Webster, willing to keep up the
illusion, 'there is such Lord"
'Pass i'm in," says Jack. 81 spose it's some

AUGUSTA, MAINE, Oct. 10, 1910,

a y, u.
Dear Sir Your letter of April 10 is before me.
In your request for further particulars and
especially chow schools were conducted when
was a school-boy,' can give you few crude
items. According to my best recollection the
first school that | attended, say 1864, when |
was about twelve years old, was conducted by
Master Samuel Moody, of York. my native place
The only books then used in the town school
the n. +. Primer, " +. Spelling book the
Psalter, and the Bible, Neither English Gram
mar, Geography, or Arithmetic. then and
there taught. Some few Latin scholars, recol-
lect, were occasionally under the masters tut
ton. had learned, at home, TO distinguish the
yowels from the consonants, and was consider
ably expert in spelling, but i never heard the
name of a rerb or a noun any technical parts
of speech, during the year that attended this
or any other school previous to the commence
ment of the Revolutionary war.
And mere permit me TO give you specimen of
Master MoOdy's quaint method Of dividing the
syllables in long words by selecting the word
dbOmiHdtioR, and spelling it a. taught in this
school, viz: A by itself, b, o. 30, AbO-Mi, Abo-
min, A, Abomna-T, |, Abominati-O n, On
denomination. And the word Aaron was thus
analysed in spelling: great A, little a, r, o, n,
Aaron.
The word touch, by his appreciation, pronounc-
ed in rhyme with cough and ddHgh, in daughter,
pronounced like the same letters in laughter: also
the word stdres-plural Of staff-in rhyme with
SHARES. In the words mOiire, dciire, Rdtire repre-
the last syllable was pronounced as in fire both
i'll reading and i'll common parlance; with sever
al other antiquated pronunciations, accents, and
infections, which have found it necessary to
unearn in theory and repudiate in practice, but
did not discover that fiOn, at the termination
of many words i'll our language, could form one
syllable in spellng-my mind being otherwise
engaged during the war-until / returned home
on the restoration of peace, in 1873. Ny mother
has frequently told me that when she taught the
alphabet, the and had been called long l and
short /; and and ], open L and picked j.
After Master Moody, several other teachers
were employed in York, but none for any consid-
cradle length of time, until Master Nicholas Pike,
from Somcrworth, n. H., came and officiated
several years. l attended his school in applica-
tion to arithmetic and trigonometry, mostly in
the winter seasons, for a few years. reaching to
1863, and this was the last of my schooling. He
did not follow Master Moody exactly, but made
no radical change in reading. He made some
improvement, with the accession of new spell
ing-book, but he did not make grammar OF ge-
ography any part of school studies. He was,
nevertheless, a thorough arithemetician and
mathematician, and published a volume entitled
''Pikes Arithmetic" He died at Newburyport,
about the year lS20. Very respectfully,
