HAY FEVER.
A Few Remarks ON tho AIalady That Ii
Now In Season.

a Few Remarks ON tho Mala(ly That Ii
Now In Season.
It is a curious circumstance that hay
fever should be almost exclusively con-
fined to the educated classes, but so it
is. As an American writer huEnorously
remarks: 1.-The complaint is not met
with in the plebs, the commune vulgus,
OF polloi, but is patrician and aristo-
cratic. and occurs mainly among those
high in rank and social position, and
eminent for mental and literary attain
ments. William ", Of England; an
English duke, Southey, the poet; sew
era1 learned divines, lawyers, medical
men and their wives, ex-mayors (?),
bankers and ladies of fashion are
among the select few on whom it be-
slows its favors.''
Farmers, who are of necessity con-
stantly exposed to the influence of
pollen, rarely suffer from it, It is diff
fcult to account for this immunity; by
some it has been supposed that it is
owing to the absence of the predisposi-
ton which mental culture induces,
while others think that they are rem
dered insusceptible to the action of
grasses by their constant exposure to
its influence. However that may be,
there is no doubt that an attack of hay
asthma is great trial of faith and pa
tience, religion and philosophy, and
enough at times. as some one said, t'to
make man curse his mother and turn
Turk if that be the ultima thule of
human turpitude.
The great Daniel Webster secluded
himself every autumn at Marshfeld to
get through his season of trial, with
what patience he could muster, and
the distinguished Henry Ward Beecher
annually vacated his pulpit for a sea-
son from the same cause; and certainly
if ever preacher had a good excuse
for doing so, it was he. Preaching
even such as his would fail in its effects
if interrupted at intervals by a success
sion of sonOrous sneezes, paroxysms of
cough and asthmatic utteranceS, and a
persistent aspersion of eyes and nos
trils.s 1t would seem probable that the
condition of the nervous system en-
gendered by mental training is especi-
ally favorable to the development of
hay asthma.
The man who could bear with equa-
nimity the annoyances of hay fever
would rival the fortitude of Gautimozin
himself, who, when stretched upon
live Goals by his brutal conquerors, re-
buked the comp1ainings of his fellow
sufferer by gently reminding him that
''he, too, was not upon bed of roses. -
The first attack often begins in child
hood, and rarely occurs late in life.
The complaint appears to be more fire.
quent in men than in women, and there
is reason to believe that the suscepti-
bility to this troublesome affection
runs in families. 1t is probably more
common in this than in any other
country.-Family Physician.

The HIGHEST. AWARD

Royal Baking Powder tn Strength and
Value 90 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly acknowledgements x-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts of
the chemical division of the Agricul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
1eavening strength of the Royal to be 160
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of copper cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest conpeti-
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. It's superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to fineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
Tt is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for SO many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
sales of all other baking powders COM

Der of skeletons with manacles at

that a. secret chancellory of the tyran-

HANDWRITING AND CHARACTER

Individual Peculiarities Produced by the
Brain.
1t is a curious fact that when. a per-
son com pares the writing done by his
hand with the writing done by his feet,
as by holding chalk between the toes
or writing with the toes themselves on
the sand, he will find that the two re-
suits are alike in their individual char
acteristics. I have performed the ex-
pertinent, and, though L am not pro-
fcient in the art of foot writing, I can
see that the style and shape of the let
tiers made by my toes resemble the
characters formed by my hand.
The same is true of mouth writing.
I am no adept in this department., but
I saw Russian who had neither hands
nor feet paint and write with his
mouth. This aroused my emulation
IND tried myself to trace my name by
holding in my mouth pencil. The re-
suit at the very start was astonishingly
like my handwriting, though of course
it was much more hesitating and I'M
connected. 1 have also written with
other parts of my body, as for instance
with pencil held tightly in the closed
elbow or the knee joint, or between
my chin and breast or fastened
to my head. From all these po-
sitions obtain defective but legible
writing which has the characteristics
of my writing. So it seems to me
evident beyond a doubt that the char
acteristics of handwriting do not arise
from peculiarities of the right hand
and arm, and as further proof of this
conclusion I will adduce the expert
ence of those Who, having lost their
right hands, and are obliged to make
use of their left. Such persons show
very soon a remarkable dexterity in
writing, going from right to left, while
with the right hand they had always
proceeded from left to right.
From all these observations and
facts l was led to the conclusion al
ready expressed. Individual peculiari-
ties of handwriting do not depend on
the hand but on the brain, which die
fore follows that not the left hand nor
the left or right leg are trained at the
same time with the right hand, which
alone learns-for they remain notion
less-but that the central portions of
the brain assigned to them, where are
produced the thoughts of the writer
and the corresponding command to the
nerves to move the muscles in this or
that way and no other, are alone
trained and practiced. In one word,
the motive impulses must be prepared.

Richmond School QUESTION:.
RICHMOND, VA.
The Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I noticed in an editorial in your paper
recently that you mentioned incidentally
n very important point. Why Is 1t that
the big girls and boys will be permitted
10 leave school earlier. while the little
ones must remain the usual length OF
time? VIII you not call attention to this?
Another inquiry in regard to the schools:
Can you inform the citizens OF Richmond
why it is that a change has been 1nade
in regard to the teachers meetings! ON
October 9th there was meeting or this
character in the Central School. and our
white teachers had TO attend this meeting
with the colored teachers. all entering and
leaving the building in a promiscuous
crowd Are the white teachers to be
subjected to this treatment without one
word OF remonstrance?
VIII not the Dispatch have something
to say on this subject.
A SUBSCRIBER.
1. The "big boys and girls are capable
Of enduring continuous mental labor for
longer period than the small children.
The small children need more instruction
and drill from the teacher. and a more
special examination as to the correctness
of their processes. The older children
have passed this initial stage. are capa-
BILE of doing moro individual work. and
require a longer period for home study.
We learn that half the time taken from
the school hours Of the High School pupils
is taken from the noon recess. and
moreover. that the two lowest grades are
retained in school only three hours each
day. and the next two are dismissed at
2:15 +. NJ.
2. An effort has been made to give both
white and colored teachers the benefit of
| whatever general instruction has been
obtainable in the way of lectures, &c.
Heretofore no suitable room has been
available. We learn that as the expert
ment. originating in a desire to promote
the best interests OF both teachers and
schools. does not seem satisfactory TO
either white or colored teachers, 1t will
be abandoned. and separate meetings for
tho white and colored teachers will be
held as heretofore.
