Tho "ROse Fever"

Doctor, thought you would never
come. can't stand 1t much longer"
said young man to a Cincinnati doctor.
''I've got such pain in my head. First
it was headache, then my head got
cold and the pain concentrated between
my eyes. When breathe through my
nose it feels as if my brains were being
pulled out"
t'Humph!'' said the doctor, "been to
the flower show, have youa'
Eyes," said the young man in sur
prise, '1've been there two or three
times"
''Well, you've got rose fever. Some
times it's called hay fever. Some flower
has poisoned you. Had u lot of patients
like you this week."
When the patient had been prescribed
for and had departed, the writer, VINO
had been somewhat surprised at the di-
agnois given, remarked:
''Were you jesting about that mans
complaint?"
"No, certainly not. have had num-
| Der Of patients this week who have had
the same trouble. Some of them have
not had as severe an attack as this man
has, but complain of unusual pains in
: the head which they cannot account for.
1t is a queer disease, and yet it is per-
fectly eXplainable on natural and rca-
sonable basis. Plants and flowers possess
in nearly every instance some good or
bad property. A child at play in the gar
den may take fancy to eat the leaves of
the seeds of pumpkin and no harm re-
suits. The next minute or two the lit
tic thing changes its food to jimson
seeds and then there is a funeral. In
some cases it is the root only of the
plant which is poisonous or beneficial,
and it may have to be treated in a COM
plicated way before its qualities can be
extracted. In other plants it is the
leaves alone which contain the properties,
and then again in many other instances
they are contained in the flower. 1t is
not. perhaps, the whole flower which is
of use. 1t may be the corolla, or the
calyx, or the stamens, or the pistils, or
the petal which are charged with good
or evil And then, too, as you have
often heard, no doubt, the same flower
or some other vegetable matter does not
affect all people alike. Hay and rag
weed are the best known causes Of this
fever has been given to it on that ac~
count.
s'There is no determining what flowers
have and what they have not in this in
tluence. Some people are affected by
tuberosos, others by lilies of various
kinds. know big, strong man who
is thrown into perfect agony by the
slightest smell of flaxs ecds when pre-
pared for poultice. Another man of my
acquaintance would be made violently ill
if buckwheat flower is cooked in build
ing where he is All these things arc
perfectly explainable on scientific
grounds, which don't propose to enter
into now, but if You will inquire among
the people who have been to the flower
show l am sure you will find many who
have had sudden headaches and trouble
with catarrh after leaving the flowers.

"Happy.GO-Lucky.'

The earliest use of this expression is
found in "True and just Relation OF
Major General Sir Thomas Morgan's Pro-
gress in France and Flanders (Arber's
s'English Garner" volum w., pages
GAO Al, published in 1859, as follows:
s'Then the French fell upon the other
half moon, but were beaten off. The
major general considered that that half.
moon would gall him in the daytime, and
therefore did speak to the officers and
soldiers that it were best to give them a
little help The red-coats cried: Shall
we fall on in order or happy -go-lucky 2
The major general said: In the name Of
God, at it, happy-go-luckyP And i'm
mcdiately the red-coats fell on, and were
on the top of it, knocking the enemy
down and casting them into the moat. y

Origin of "Hail Columbia"

IN 1895 'Hau COlumDla, appeaIeu
In the conflict between the Federalists
and the Republicans, music was made to
take part. The Republicans at the
theatre called for Goa ira, or the ''Mar-
sellaise." The Fedcrals wanted the
'sPresident's March, ?" yankee Doodle, !"
or 'Stony Point" Feeling ran high
While the factions wrangled the benefit
night of favorite actor drew near. No
man knew better than he how to profit
by the popular will, and at no time in
the whole course Of his life, had he so
fine a chance of prof1ting by the popular
will been offered HIM. Politics ruled
the hour. The city was full of excited
Federalists, who packed the theatre
night after night for no other purpose
than to shout themselves hoarse over the
"President's March," He determined
to make use of this fact. He would take
the march, find some one to write few
patriotic stanzas to suit it, and on the
night of his benefit sing them to the
house. Some Federalists were consulted,
were pleased with the idea, and named
Joseph Hopkinson as the man best fitted
to write the words. He consented, and
in few hours 'Haii Columbia" was pro-
duced. The night of the benefit was
that of Wednesday, the 25th of April,
and the Gazette announced that the per
formance would comprise comedy
called "The Italian Monk" the comic
opera of ''Rosina," ''More Sack" an
epilogue on the character of Sir John

the full band and grand chorus.
"Firm united let us be-
Rallying round our liberty;
As band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find"
"Lopg before the curtain rose the
house was too small to hold the thousands
who clamored to be let in. Those who
got in were too excited to wait quietly
for the song. At last the comedy ended,
and Mr.. Fox appeared upon the stage.
Every line was loudly applauded. the
whole house joined in the chorus, and,
when the verse, Behold the chief who
now commands was reached, the audi
ence rose to its feet and cheered till the
building shook to its foundations. Foul
times the song was encored, was de
