Faithful to Her Old Home.

A grocer in Syracuse gave brewer
an old cat and four kittens a day old.
The brewer locked them up in his
brewery for the night. When the
grocer came downstairs the next
morning he found the cat and her
four kittens asleep on his doorstep.
The brewery was four miles away,
and the kittens too young to walk
more than few steps, so the old cat
had carried each one in her mouth
four miles.

FIGHTING HAY FETER.
Preliminary Experiments 5tith a
Nezc 1ntitOliH.

Several physicians have sought 10 parallel
the treatment Of other diseases with antitOxins
by employing for hay fever a remedy derived
from the exciting cause. In their experiments
thus far. apparently. they have not looked for
particular nicrobe and made that organism the
basis of their further procedure. The plan
adopted. though, is similar thereto. 1t seems to
be conceded that the irritating agent which in
duces hay fever is the pollen OF certain plants.
and this Clew has been followed up in the
United States and Germany in the last two
three years
TtnctureS and extracts manufactured from
ragweed were tried by Dr. H. HoI5rook Curtis
an American. some time ago. He administered
the fluids both hypodermicaIly and internally.
and they seemed to do his patients good. He also
suggested. and may have tested. remedy af-
forded by goldenrod. which flower he held re
sponsible for another group of cases.
Professor Dunbar of the Hygienic Institute in
Hamburg, sent two reprints of articles by him
to DR.. Emil Mayer. of this city, last spring and
thus interested the latter in a kindred line OF
experiment. Professor Dunbar had reached the
conclusion that hay fever is attributable to a
toxin existing in the starch bodies of certain
grasses He had been able 70 isolate this sub
stance, and claimed TO have produced the usual
symptoms of the disease in a well person by
introducing a small quantity into the arm. En-
couraged by that and other evidence. the Ger
man followed the Behring system in preparing
an anutoxin. Small doses Of poison were in

ENSURES FRESHNESS OF EGGS.
Novel Method ADOPTED by the Dairy.
men of kehl, Germany.


United States Consul Britain at
Kehl, Germany, says the Washington
Star, has advised the secretary Of
state of a unique method CT insuring
the freshness of eggs adopted by the
Dairymen's association OF the city Of
Kehl. "The agents Of that associa.
tion," he says, go among the farmers
each day and purchase eggs, the farm
cr guaranteeing that these have been
laid within the previous twenty-four
hours. In consequence of this guaran.
tee the association pays the farmer
three pfennigs, or about half a cent,
above the regular market price for
each eggs. The Dairymen's associa-
ton then makes q record Of each pur-
chase by giving the farmer a regis
tered number and numbering each egg
IN corresponding manner.
when o consumer chances to find
q stale egg he returns it to the dealer,
who in turn charges it to the associa-
tion, which reports the matter to the
farmer. The method is a protection
TO all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs
are delivered In cases containing five
dozen each"

WINE IN POWDER FORM.
French Method for Obtaining a Bev.
craze In Concentrated Form.

French Method for Obtaining a sev.
erase In Concentrated Form.
The liquid part Of wine contains
light others, ethylic alcohol, heavy al.
cohol and oils, and substances such as
furfurol and aldehyde. All these prod
ucts are poisonous. The solids Of
wine are coloring matter, fixed organic
acids, and mineral salts, all Of which
are harmless, with the exception Of
the lime and potash, the lime being
very bad for the equity.
Now, a wine which Is deprived Of the
heavy alcohol, oils, lime and potash
should contain no injurious elements.
According to ILLUSTRATION, it seems
that DR.. Garrigou Of Toulouse has
been able to obtain this result by con-
centrating wine in a vacuum, this pro-
cess taking away the cooked taste
which ordinary heat produces. In this
way wine may be reduced to q dry
powder, and If then the powder be
placed in water or ethylic alcohol, all
the properties Of the wine are recov-
cred, with the exception Of the pois-
onous elements. BY this process there
is obtained a perfectly harmless wine,
which may be kept Indefinitely, and
which is handled readily.-Philadel-
