HAY FEVER.
Doctor Says 1t IL Usually but an Idiosyn-
Grassy.

Grassy.
In the great majority Of instances,
the hay fever victim is just as healthy
as mankind in general, with the ex-
ccption Of this odd idiosyncrasy mani
testing itself with wonderful regularity
at certain Seasons of the year. Hence,
we should rsIuce the cause of hay
fever to two factors: first, the idiosyn.
Grassy: and sccoad, the irritant.
The Latter from its well-known
promptncas IS to date OF recurrence is,
beyond doubt product of the vegeta-
bic world AZ the same time our in
vcstigations have convinced us that
there must be some specific poison that
accompanies the pollen in its annual
passage through the air. This may be
Of IN animal living principle, as in
fusory animalcules, which are known
to accompany all vegetation as every
thing in nature seems to have its own
peculiar parasite. Or, what is just as
probable, the poison is peculiar
sclid substance similar to that
found in the poison ivy. If this
were noG the case, pollen would
simply act 90 any other foreign sub
stance floating in the atmosphere, as
dust or minute particles of substances
derived from the animal, mineral and
vegetable Kingdoms, AMI which are
constantly being inhaled to greater
or lesser cXtont by every one, entirely
nnnoti3cd Ivy those in possession of or
binary health. The treatment thus in
dica:cd has been successfully used for
the prs. three seasons, in large num-
be- 81 eases. 1t is only the modern an
tisc 2tic treatment pure and simple, sc
that when the proper materials are
faithfully applied, it bids fair to answer
all the purposes of cure for this dis.
trcssing complaint,
As to the idiosyncrasy; that is not SC
easy of calculation. In fact, why GER
tain few of the human race have idi-
osyncrasies, has never been explained
we only know that such things, along
with other phenomena, occur in nature
occasionally, and play very important
part in human experience. For instance,
many cases can be cited, when to par

our school closed Wednesday, having

As usual in this district, there was an cN-

tended in spite of the storm. Each pupil
showed the careful drill of the teacher, and
a desire to have all the pieces we'll learned.
The young people assisted in the entertain

persons. Some of the exercises which had
been prepared and were very good had to
be omitted. Just as the exercises were to

scented to the teacher "A box which contained

POMONA GRANGE.
The Meeting at Dummcr.ton Centre.


The Windham County Pomona grange
held a meeting with Evening Star grange
at Dummerston Centre on Thursday, Feb.
%. The day was warm and comfortable,
and before noon the topOf the hill seemed
like lively little village as the teams came
from the flour quarters of the globe, APP
parently, bringing loads of enthusiastic
grangers, and each received genuine wei
come with hand clasps that showed the
good feeling of the efficient oranges repre-
scented there. Some came from long dis
tancc and some from New Hampshire
whom we were glad to see. The morning
was devoted to grange work and an essay
upon GLOW to make the grange progress
sive, by our deputy, which was full of good
things and suggestions which, if carried
out, would be of great assistance to the
grange everywhere and to individuals.
Then came dinner, such as matrOns know
how to prepare.
The afternoon session was public. Sing
ing, which was much enjoyed by those
present, and a very funny dialogue by the
young people, made the exercises lively, for
time, at least. Cordial words of wei
come were said by member of Evening
Star grange, one who showed plainly that
he had seen service in the war-wOrdS
which would have made us happy had we
not been sure Of a real welcome before.
The response was by Westminster patron
in his usual pleasant way.
The essay on "The free coinage of sill
ver' by Dummcrston man, showed plain
ly that he could not have met with hearty
welcome at the st. Louis convention Just
held, if he had been there. He plainly
told us that he did not approve the bill;
that for the 50 years before 1873 we had
free coinage. and in all that time we only
coined about SS,OOO,O 600, and not "A mint in
Europe was open to free coinage. I'm
proved methods in making maple sugar,
10y a practical sugar maker and dealer, was
next in order, but as thi, subject has been
reported upon in general way ! will only
say that the attention given the speaker
showed that he had not failed in his effort
to interest his hearers in the best methods
now known. Then practical education
for the farmer was taken up. The speak
er urged the importance of study all the
time to improve in methods and stock, to
raise our cows, oxen. horses, pigs and hens;
also study with much care the political
questions with regard to party.
The last subject for discussion was
"Womans work for the cause of temper
ance,' which was assigned to a "whitc rib
bon" woman who had very little time 10
tell of the great amount of work done by
women in the suppression OF vice and in
temperance in our land, but enough To
show that She too would have been an I'M
welcome visitor at the late great labor con
vention in 81. Louis and we felt that She
would be more welcome among grangerN
than in an alliance gathering
The time was quite too short for all
these subjects and We were obliged to pass
over them without much discussion. and
to leave all too soon that pleasant hilltop
village and its ho>pitable people. 4.

Deafness CAM, Re Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness is caused by an intamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube gets intamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when il
is entirely closed Deafness is the result and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh which, is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces

The right of town to establish sys-
tenn of taxation upon the single tax basis
was judicially sanctioned on Friday,
by Judge Brooke, who handed down a
decision denying the application of a
number of citizens of Hyattsville. Mary
land, for mandamus to require the
board of town commissioners to restore
Improvements and personal property to
the assessment list of the town.
Recently the Henry Georgites secured
a majority in the board of town commits
sioners and made the first experiment
in the single tax theory, which taxes
unimproved land equally with the i'm
proved, and exempts buildings, houses
and all kinds of improvements. AS this
required an increase in the rate the
board, by virtue of the power given by
the legislature, increased the rate Is to
25 cents, whereupon proceedings for a
mandamus were instituted by the owners
of the unimproved land, the men who
were holding back for a boom in the
town, when they could sell their lots at
big price and thereby profit on the in
creased value which the community
would create. Land speculation was
knocked sky-high, and those who were
doing the dog-in-the-manger actwere very
willing to dispose, at its real value, the
land they held but could not use.
A few of them, however, got together
and brought proceedings in court to
compel the commissioners to return to
the former method of land taxation
the method that has made and is making
more paupers than all the trusts, COM
bines and tariffs the country ever had,
but the court said "no," and the gentle
mem of Hyattsville, who lived off the
fat of the land, are nursing their wrath
and waiting to defeat the commissioners
at the next election.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-08-08

The miners of the Schuylkill region
employed by the Reading Company
were surprised on Saturday to hear that
the $3.50 basis for wages has been
reached, this being the first time this
consummation has occurred in three
years. 1t is due to the enhanced prices
realized for coal.
The rate of wages is based upon the
price of coal at Schuylkill Haven.
When the selling price there is $3.50 a
ton an established schedule of wages is
paid to miners and mine workers.
Deductions from and additions to this
schedule are made as the selling price
falls below or ascends above $3.50 ton.
All the colieries make returns monthly.
Five of these are drawn by committee
representing but independent, of, opera
tors and men. The average is struck
and the result declared, and this is bind
ing not only on the Reading but on most
of the other mining companies and oper-
ators as well. The average last month
was $3.50 $40, and the rate of wages
will thus be at that basis for the first
time in over three years.
The increase, while it is welcome to
the miners, is insignificant when COM
pared with the profits the operators will
receive by the recent advance in the
price of coal at tidewater. The COM
panies take the lions share every time
