Hay-Fever.

"What are the causes, nature, pre-
vention and cure of hay-feveri What
places are exempt from it What are
the latest opinions of the medical pro
fession respecting this disease z"
The most recent opinion is that it is a
neurosis, or an affection of the nerves, a
peculiar susceptibility of certain nerves,
terminating in the mucous membrane,
to irritation from the pollen of various
plants.
1t is only about seventy years since it
was first described under the name of
summer cataI1h. 1t prevails much more
extensively in some countries than in
others, being twice as common in Eng
land as elsewhere, and much less COM
mon at the South and in Canada than
in our Northern States. II is rare dis
ease west of the Mississippi.
Its seat is the mucous membrane of
the nostrils, eyes, pharynx, larynx and
bronchial tubes. 1t sometimes assumes
an asthmatic form, aud hence has been
called hay-asthma. The susceptibility
to it is often inherited.
Although it is caused by pollen, vet
the inhabitants of rural districts are less
liable to it than visitors from the city.
In this respect il is like other diseases.
lellow-feyer, for instance, is most likely
TO attack those who come from abroad
into the infected locality.
1t is called hay-fever, but the pollen
of many different plants may give rise
to it. 1t prevails from May TO August.
All patients are not susceptible ~ the
pollen of the same plant. That of the
grasses is perhaps the most potent.
June is most prolific of pollen-g grains.
Eight hundred day have been col
lected on glass less than half an inch
square. Rains often wash the atmos-
phere nearly clear of them.
To be sure of escaping the annual at
tack, one must remove to region Mt a
distance from the offending vegetation,
say to the White Mountains in New
Hampshire, Mt Mansfield in Vermont,
the Adirondacks in New York, to ex-
tended grazing regions, to the seaside
where the prevailing wind is from the
ocean, or to denscly inhabited cities,
with few parks and open spaces Res
pirators are a help
The general system needs to be forti-
fed, say by shower-baths and tonic
medicines, and the local irritation
should be allayed under the advice of a
physician. Each attack increases the
and frequently recurring
attacks may lead to deafness, as the
Eustachian tube generally shares in the
- Youths Companion.

Cycles of Crime.

Crime not only runs in cycles and are
reproduced by initiative criminals, but
sometimes two tragedies exactly alike
occur simultaneously.
On a recent Tuesday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, in Cincinnati,
Ohio, Edward Richard shot and killed
his young wife in front of bakery and
made his escape. Mrs. Richard did not
live with her husband, and when she
met her death was on the way to the
bakery with little girl.
At the same hour ON the same day, at
Cumberland, Md, Mrs. Garlitz, young
wife, who was living apart from her
husband, went to a bakery with little
girl, and was shot and killed by Garlitz
in front of the shop. The murderer
made his escape.
How is it that these two men so wide
" separated and yet surrounded by
identically the same circumstances,
yielded to the same murderous impulse,
at the same hour. In each case there
was bakers shop, a little girl, young
wife and a jealous husband. The two
groups in these tragedies seemed to be
in sympathy with each other, moved by
the same emotions.
: When crime multiplies itself in such
startling ways it is no wonder that peo-
pie account for it by saying: cit is in
the air. '--Atlanta Constitution.

Unclaimed Bank Deposits.

Concerning unclaimed bank deposits,
the F0rtnighuy Reriee SAYS: "a man
lodges money in bank, but no one
knows it but himself and the bank. He
can conceal it completely from the world,
and from his kindred, too, for there is
no limit to eccentricities; his kindred
may suspect it, but when he is dead
they have no means of finding out any,
thing about it unless they happen to 90
to the right bank to make their inquir-
les. Some of the English banks are over
two hundred years old, and some eighty
or ninety of them date from the last
century. During this long period the
sums passing through their hands must
have been very large, and the length of
time during which they have been in
contact with the public must have given
occasion for numerous derelict deposits.
The longer they remained unclaimed the
remoter the chance that they would ever
be claimed, and the tirmer the hold of
the bank upon them. To avoid exag-
geration, let us suppose that, instead Of
three-fifths of this money being I'm
claimed, as the supreme court figures
might lead us to think, one-fortieth of
it Is unclaimed. then we have the large
sum Of S112, SOC, 900; or, even if we say
an eightieth, one-half of this last, the
amount comes to the very respectable
figure of S56, $50, eco. As has been said,
there are no statistics available directly
bearing ON the matter; but, as a con-
lecture, we should say that the true
amount was certainly over $50, 000, 900,
aud ranged from that to 500, 000, 600.
IL comparison with the colossal
scheme of naval expansion which the
British Ministry proposes and viii un-
doubfedly carry through Parliament,
despite the strong opposition which viii
be made, the plans Of the United States
are modest in the extreme.
