DR0uTH AND HAY FEVER.
A Western Theory as to the Cause of the
Disease.

A st. Paul (Minn) dispatch to th
Boston Transcript says:
Hay fever victims have noticed
strange popularity this season whic
seems to confirm beyond a doubt th
theory that the disease is produced from
the pollen of ragweed, gcldenrod ant
other similar vegetation. Whereve
the drouth has prevailed to an exten
Sufficient to destroy these weeds befor
they reached the ripened stage hay
fever has not made disappearance this
season.
Hundreds of victims of the malady
who live in South Dakota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas annually visit North
ern Minnesota and Wisconsin resorts
and generally have their quarters en-
gagged long time in advance. While
a great many sufferers have already
come North from other States, the an
nual pilgrimage of those from the
States named has not yet set in, but
letters have been received saying they
were waiting for its appearance, but
that 1t is a month overdue.
ga st. Paul physician who has treat
ed annually for several years from TWEEN
ty to fifty such patients declared that
not a single case had come to his no.
tice this year, though last season they
began coming as early as July 10th.
This has started train Of inc quiries
among other physicians, who thus far
note an almost total absence of the dis
ease. In this vicinity, though it has
been very dry this season, it cannot be
said to be within the drouth district;
this absence of hay fever is, however,
attributed to the drouth of the South
west, which destroyed the disease pro-
ducing vegetation and emphasizes the
the belief that it is not incurable.
"On the theory that hay fever is pro-
duced by ragweed pollen, well-known
resident of ST.. Paul. who contracted
hay fever in Southern Minnesota and
whose sufferings were almost notorious,
undertook to prove his theory by ex-
cluding the cause. The suggestion
was not his alone, but had the approv-
al of his physician. Commencing IN
the early Spring he tightly closed the
windows of his sleeping apartment ev-
cry afternoon at 5 o'clock. By COM
mencing when the weather was cool he
gradually became accustomed to the
closed room and endured it throughout
the season. The first season only a
slight touch of the dread disease ap-
peared, and this he attributed to a
hunting trip in the country. The fol-
lowing season the same procedure was
kept up, but there was no recurrence
of hay fever, nor were the hot and cold
sweats apparent. After continuing
another season the windows |
we're opened, except between j JuIy 18th |
and September 18th. This was five |
years ago, and there has been no return |
If the malady. A severe case of asth-
ma was treated in the same way, after
,he results we're made known, and this
lisease has also nearly been removed,
hough the treatment is more difficult,
is in winter the patient was obliged to
leep warm at all times.'

CAT ADOPTS BABY RABBITS.
Strange But True Story Of a FeIine's
Maternal Instinct.

The Richmond Dispatch says: Mr.
Thomas J. Stratton, Chief of Fertili
zer Inspectors in the Office of Commits
sioner of Agriculture Koiner, tells a
remarkable story of the peculiar ma.
ternal fancy of cat owned by Mr.
Sam Perdue, near Spout Springs, in
Appomattox county. This cat has
actually adopted two rabbits to raise.
She is now bringing them up in the
most orthodox feline style.
The story, which is really an actual
occurrence, is this: The CIT owned by
Mr.. Perdue had no kittens; at least,
they had been drowned. She went out
in the fields and found two baby rab-
bits. Making two trips of 1t, she
brought both to the house. The cat
adopted them completely, and they her
also. She was all that mother could
be. The rabbits went through all the
stages of young rabbit hood, and the
pride of the foster mother at the prog
ress Of her strange children was very
great. The hares are nearly half
grown now. They play about the
house just as cats would. The moth
er Is trying to make good mousers of
them. Whether she is succeeding or
not Captain Stratton has not been in
formed. This is probably the first in
stance On record where the maternal
instinct of felines has extended to rab-
bits.
Captain Stratton tells another story
that is equally remarkable, but which,
he says, is true in every detail. Mr..
Joseph Harvey, who lives near the
old Appomattox Courthouse, some
time ago caught two highland terra
pins on his place. He brought them
to the house and set about to train
them. 1t was very hard work, but
he has at last conquered. The terra
pins will now submit to yoke, and
will pull as steadily as oxen. Mr..
Harvey has made a wagon for them,
and they will pull with the greatest
ease and willingness. There was one
step IN the training of this strange
team that Mr.. Harvey thought be
would never make, and that was to get
the terrapins not to pull in their heads
and shut down their lids when the
time came for them to be harnessed. |
But at last be was victorious. They |
are as patient now as oxen, and as |
submissive.
Captain Stratton, at the risk of max. |
ing an unenviable reputation for him.
self, tells yet more remarkable story
OF the freakish fancy of a COW which
was raised on his farm in Appomattox
county. The cow was the property of
Captain StrattOn's brother. The
bovine adopted litter of pigs to raise,
and did rear them after the most i'm
proved fashion. The COW had lost
ler calf; the pigs had lost their moth
or. The COW wanted young ones to
pet; the pigs wanted something or
somebody to pet them. The COW and
,hey hit upon trade. The exchange
was agreeable. For weeks the COW
furnished the pigs with all the milk
hey got. and the young swine fed
after natures fashion.
