 Within two hundred yards of Federal Hall where the ceremonies were to take place Washington and his suite alighted and on foot passed through the troops drawn up on either side into the Senate chamber, where the Vice President, the Senate and House of Representatives were assembled. Vice President John Adams, who had quiet ly taken the oath of office two days before, advanced and conducted Washington to a chair of state at the upper end of the hall. A.solemn silence prevailed when the Vice President arose and informed him that all things were prepared for him to take the oath of office required by the constitution. The oath was administered by the Chan cellor of the State of New York in balcony in front of the Senate chamber, and in full view of an immense audience occupying the street the windows and the roofs of adjacent houses commanding view of the impressive ceremony. The balcony formed a kind of open recess, with lofty columns supporting the roof. In the center was a table with covering of crimson velvet, on which lay superbly bound Bible on crim son velvet cushion. This was all the para phernalia for the august scene.
 All eyes were fixed upon the balcony when, at the appointed hour, Washington made his appearance. He was clad in a full suit of dark-brown cloth of American manufacture, with a steel-hilted dress sword white silk stockings, and silver shoe buckles His hair was dressed and pow dered in the fashion of the day, and worn in bag and solitaire. His entrance on the balcony was hailed with universal shouts, and he was evidently moved by this dem onstration of public affection. Advancing to the front of the balcony he laid his hand upon his heart, bowed several times and then retreated 10 aa armchair near the table The populace appeared to under stand that the scene had overcome him, and were hushed at once into profound silence After a few moments Washington rose and again came forward.

ABOUT HAY-FEVER.
According to Most Recent Opinion 1t Is
 Nervous Affection.

Nervous Affection.
 What arc the causes, nature. pre- vention and cure for hay-fever? What places are exempt from it? What arc the latest opinions of the medical profession respecting this disease?"
 The most recent opinion is that it is neurosis, Of an affection of the nerves, a peculiar susceptibility of certain nerves, terminating in the mucous membrane, to irritation from the pollen of various plants.
 It is only about seventy years since it was first described under the name of summer catarrh. It prevails much more extensively in some countries than in others, being twice as common in England as elsewhere, and much less common at the South and in Canada than in our Northern States. It is rare disease west of the Mississippi
 Its seat is the mucous membrane of the nostrils, eyes, pharnyX larynX and bronchial tubes. 1t sometimes as sumes an asthmatic form, and hence -fna5-been called hay-asthma. The sus ceptibility to it is often inherited.
 Although It is caused by pollen, yet the inhabitants of rural districts are less liable to it than visitors from the city. In this respect it is like other diseases. Yellow-fcver, for instance, is most likely to attack those who come from abroad into the infected locality.
 Ifjs called hay-fever. but the pollen of many>different plants may give rise to it. It prNyails from May to August. All patients are not susceptible to the pollen of the same plant. That of the grasses is perhaps the most potent. June is most prolific of pollen-grains. Eight hundred a day have been col lected on glass less than half an inch square. Rains often wash the atmo5- phere nearly clear of them
 To be sure of escaping the an nual attack, one must remove to region at distance from the offending vegeta- tion, say to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, Mount Mansfield in Vermont, the Adirondacks in Now York, to extended grazing regions, to the seaside where the prevailing wind is from the ocean, or to densely ln- habited cities, with few parks and open spaces. Respirators are a help.
 The general system needs to be for tihed, say by showe~baths and tonic medicines, and the local irritation should be allayed under the advice of d physician. Each attack increases the susceptibility, and frequently recur- ring attacks may lead to deafness, as the Eustachian tube generally shdres in the irritation. Youth Companion.

 Washington again bowed to the people and returned into the Senate chamber, where he delivered to both Houses of Con- gress his inaugural address with voice slightly tremulous and so low as to demand close attention on the part of his listeners. After this he proceeded with the whole as semblage on foot to St. Pauls Church, where prayers suited to the occasion were read by Rev Dr Provost, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in New York, and who had been appointed one Of the chaplains of Congress. The whole day was given over to rejoicing and the evening to brilliant Examinations and fireworks.

To TIE EpIToR I sec that newspaper articles are again making their appearance calling attention to matters pertaining to health as well as to the means whereDy dis- case may be removed and good health pre- served am thereby reminded that nave received from time to time, pamphlet puon- cations issued by the wellknown firm or H' H Warmers 6 Co.,, which dwell upon the ms tory and growth of kidney diseases; snow ing how such is the cause of consumption, heart, brain and nervous disorders, whlch can only be successfully treated by remoV- ing the primary disease from the kidneys. At the same time care IS taken to remlnG the reader that Warmers Safe Cure IS the only means whereby the physician or the ln- dividual can successfully prevent and cure this class of disease
 Whilst have personal cause to feel grate- full to Warntr's Safe Cure, for the benefit which l derived from it when suffering from kidney troubles last spring, can not see, since that remedy is already So well known in every household, why the parties inter- ested In it's manufacture should continue to expend money in calling attention to what the public a ready, knows so well. 1 am aware, MT Editor, that the members of the medical profession are seldom disposed to give due credit to proprietary medicines, but public confidence is likely to be even more shaken in those learned gentlemen since the startling disclosures in the Robin son poisoning cases were made in Somer- vile, Mass.
 Here it was discovered through the ef forts of an insurance company, that eight cases of death from arsenical poisoning had occurred-seven of them in one family, and within five years and the other that of relative-whercin the true cause of death had not been even suspected by prominent physicians who were in attendance, but who treated the cases for other causes, and finally, when death occurred issued certif cates for such causes as pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, etc.
 After such an evidence of the utter in- competency of those physicians who were regarded as experts in their profession, can not conceive why it will be longer nec- essary for further advertising to be done in behalf of Warmers Safe Cure, since l deem the Somerville disclosure to be the best pos sible endorsement of the good sense mani festcd by those who take matters of health in thei. own hands and use remedy which experience has shown to be fully adapted for the purposes intended, instead of trust ing themselves in experimental hands.

HOW to Make Orcharding and Fruit
 Growing Profitable
 success In orcharding has to do with varieties, treatment and sale. Cast all personal preferences aside, and se- feet such kinds as succeed in our re- spective localities. This is most inn portant We must know the preju- dices of purchasers-w whether red or white apples prove the more popu- iari whether the size shall be large, medium or small The question of quality settles itself It is fine theory that would compel orchardists to be- come public instructors; but if high favored, beautiful fruit can not be raised at profit, that of inferior quail lty Will and must take its place. An other strong point is to be content with few varieties-the fewer the bet ter Succession of kinds sounds plausible, as well as the assumption that when we have many varieties some one or more will surely produce a crop. That this is unsound reason ing many orchardists have learned to their sorrow. One thoroughly relia- ble variety is worth more than a hundred of doubtful charac- ter. With naturally good mel low soil all needed preparation is to manure with no stinted hand, and then blow deep and thoroughly. It is of utmost importance that the young orchard receive q good send off; after that, if cultivated carefully for a few years, meanwhile cropping with vegetables, there will be no ces- sation Of growth in the trees. This part of the programme is generally carried out; but, after cropping with vegetables ceases, how many people ever fertilize the soil, or care for the trees? More failures result from this cessation of surface culture, and proper pruning, than from attacks of insects, which, under preventives and treatment of recent years are not con- sdered serious obstacle. How to place ones fruit properly on the market seems to the uninitiated point of minor consequence; but when 
 we perceive customers calling year after year for packages bearing the imprint of some noted orchardist there must be a reason for it, and the solution is, that the fruit is carefully and evenly selected, preserved in first class condition, and is, in short. just what the invoice calls for. Nearness to good market is an important factor in making apples pay; the nearer pro ducer can get to consumer, and conse quent reduced freight, the greater the margin of profit, of course. Finally, much depends upon close application and earnest work. Under the impress sion that trees can care for themselves many young orchardists have utterly failed -J osiah Hoopes, in N. r. Trib-

 AN IMPERIAL COOK.
How the Empress of Austria Prepare. Her
 Meals While Traveiing.


 The Empress Elizabeth, of Austria pos scsses a travelling basket containing com plete culinary arrangement, incl lding cooking apparatus, extract of meat plates, dishes, etc. which she terms her "Bijou"
 This basket is quite a curiosity 1t is most elegantly fitted up, ard at the same time well adapted to its purpose a nd enables its owner to prepare an excellent plate of soup when on a journey.
 The Empress is very fond of strong broth and takes pleasure in pre- paring 1t herself while travelling in the train She then has recourse to her "Bijou, m sets the water to boil in her silver saucepans with golden handles, puts in extract of meat and other ingredients with her own hands, and de clares that no cook could provide broth more paatable and nourishing.
 Similar handy little travelling baskets fitted with every requisite for cooking, and comprising among the rest a variety of condensed meats and vegetables, are now in the market, and will, no doubt, be appreciated by persons of dehcate consti- tutions, with whom hotel fare is apt to dis agree.
