HERES A NAY FEYKR CURE.
1t Consists In Keeping the Windows
Closed In the Kay Fever Season.

New York Sun: st. Paul-Hay fever
victims have noticed a popularity of this
season which seems to confirm the theory
that the disease is produced by the pollen
Of rag weed, golden rod and other similar
plants. Wherever drought has prevailed
TO an extent sufficient to destroy these
weeds before they reached maturity, hay
fever has not made it's appearance.
Hundreds of victims of the malady who
live In South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas visit northern Minnesota n
Wisconsin resorts annually, and general
ly nave their quarters engaged a long
time In dvanc While Il great many suf-
ferers have already come north from 9TH
er states, the annual pilgrimage from tho
state named has not yet set In. Letters
have been received saying the hay fever
people in those states were waiting for
the appearance of their enemy, but that 1t
Is q month overdue.
Physicians here have wondered why
their hay fever patients have not sought
their aid, as they have done for years, be-
tween July 10 and August 10, and have
been surprised to learn hat no treatment
has been needed by them thus far. A st.
Paul physician who has treated annually
for several years from twenty to fifty
such patients, said that not a single case
had come to his notice this year, though
last season they began to come as early
as July 10.
In this region the weather has been very
dry this season. though 1t cannot be said
to be within the drought district. The alb
v - w NiiS
drought Of the southwest, which de-
stroyed the disease producing vegetation,
On the theory that hay fever is pro-
duced by rag weed pollen a st. Paul man
who contracted hay fever in southern
Minnesota, undertook TO cure himself by
excluding the cause. Beginning In the
early spring he tightly closed the win
dows of his bed room every afternoon at
5 o'clock. BY beginning when the wealth
er was cool he gradually became accus-
toned TO the closed room and endured 1t
through the year. The first season only
a slight touch OF the disease appeared,
and this he attributed to hunting trips.
The following season the same procedure
was kept up, but there was no recurrence
OF hay fever. After continuing through
another season the windows were opened
except w July Is and September Is.
This was hve years 4 and there has
been no return OF the malady.
A severe case OF asthma was treated
the same way with success. A physician
says he has no doubt this treatment will
furnish relief If not effect a cure where
the patients are not Of too nervous a
temperament, and he adds that he has
never seen a victim of hay fever or
asthma who was not extremely nervous,
often needing treatment for the nerves
more than for the fever.

Y
Duchess of Cumberland and Princess Vic.
toria Ride Wheels.

London Express: One of the most en-
thusiastic among the royal votaries OF
bicycling is the duchess OF Cumberland,
the youngest sister OF Queen Alexan-
dra, who quite recently made a our
with her family IN bicycles from
Gmunden to Ischl, in the Austrian
Tyrol. The duchess bicycles extremely
well, and can go long distances without
fatigue. Another royal bicyclist Is the
young king of Spain, who is devoted to
hts wheel" and likes the machine even
better than a horse.
Princess Victoria Of England Is an
other long-distance bicyclist, and she
has lately made some quite extended
tours In the lake district and in Wales.
Little Prince Edward Of York, who has
recently received a bicycle as a gift
from the king, does most OF his cycling
In the gardens at Marlborough house.
The sons Of the German emperor are
expert cyclists, and one or two OF them
are clever trick riders, while another
wheelman is the young duke OF Sake
Coburg.
Bicycling is supposed to be on the
wane as an amusement OF the upper
classes, but there seems to be no foun-
dalton for the idea. The Marquis
d'Hautpoul is one of the best amateur
riders, and Lady Archibald Campbell Is
also a good rider. The duchess OF st.
Adams used to ride a good deal. and go
did Lady Conyers. Battersea park and
Hyde park certainly no longer see
crowds of morning riders, but the
wheel is more than ever recognized as
a convenience and an amusement in
country houses.

Gets scant Comfort.
Baltimore sun: Twenty years or so
ago the now fashionable resort OF Bar
Harbor boosted of but one hotel, which,
according to a former Baltimorean, who
now resides In Maine. was not much to
boast OF.
1t seems that a New York travelling
salesman had occasion to visit Bal Har-
Dor to sell goods, and naturally was OBJ
liGed to make his headquarters at the SOL
itary hotel. The day after his arrival he
came down stairs in anything but a
pleasant frame of mind, and, as drum
mers do occasionally, he proceeded TO
criticise the house In rather severe terms,
something like this:
what! S2.50 a day for a little room un-
der the roof. And your holsters and pill

Upton GOT EXPERIENCE.
The Way Sir Thomas Does Business.

Sir Thomas Upton, in Saturday
Evening Post: There is M royal road
to riches, and, In a business as big as
mine, no back lane. My methods are
open, and anybody can see them. A
successful concern Is created and main
tained by h recognition OF great facts
and obvious principles-the growth Of
population n the increased facilities
OF inter-communication between men
and nations. These are the great fac
tors In forming great businesses. To
supply the many instead Of the few, 10
handle large instead OF small quaint
ties, and to be made the grower, the
manufactures, as we'll as the vendor
and retailer-to do all this is to adopt,
In short. a system OF business obvious
and open TO all. If I proceed to speak
Of my own application of these prin-
ciples, and Of the individual qualities
necessary to work them put in the de-
tails of business, l fear l must fall
back on some very old saws. My re-
ceipt for prosperity, in such a concern
as mine, is at the disposal of all. Here
1t is: Work hard. dea honestly, be
enterprising, exercise careful 1udg-
ment, advertise freely but j~udiciously."
Though he who drives fat oxen need
not himself be fat. a captain OF indus
try must live up to his name-must
himself be Industrious. That is my be-

Of Interest to Teachers.

Attorney General Sheets has render
ed an opinion which will be of great
interest to school boards and teachers.
The question submitted to him was
whether or not school boards were
compelled to pay teachers salaries for
the period they are laid off during the
prevalence of small poX, or any other
disease. The question came up from
Ottawa county, where number of the
schools were closed for several weeks
on account of smallpox. The Attorney
General holds that pay in such cases
should be forthcoming just as though
the schools had been in regular ses-
sion. He says that the Board of Edu-
cation engages the teacher for speci-
fed period, and tnat the former may
dispose of the time of the latter if it
sees fit, and therefore the teachers in
such cases may demand compensation
for the full term.

BUILDS NEW WAR BALLOON.
English Inventor Has an Afrshir
Which He Says Can lie steered
in Any Direction.

DIR. Barton's war balloon, which, it
is said, the British war Office pro-
poses to buy, has platform and ma
chinery which is suspended cigar
shape The balloon can be steered in
any direction. The propellers are
driven by high-speed motor be-
tween the balloon and the car.
There is horizontal aeroplane, the
fixed operation of which causes the
balloon to ascend and descend in
straight progress at any altitude. At
the rear there is vertical aoroplane
for steering to the right and left.
The difficulty arising from moving
the center of gravity is cireumyented
by two half-filled water tanks at each
end, from which water is automatic
ally pumped from one to the other
as the end of the machine becomes
heavier. The aerostat is divided into
gas-tight compartments.
DIR. Barton hopes by the end of
summer to float his balloon and carry
three people at the rate of 10 or 10
miles an hour.
