SERUM FOR HAY FEVER ?
German Discovery Said to Be Great Boon
Por Sufferers.

Cleveland (Special).-If the expert
ments now being carried on by several
prominent Cleveland physicians with a
new serum for hay fever are successful,
hundreds of victims of this disease may
not be forced away from their homes
this summer.
The new serum was discovered by a
German physician, and claims are made
that it will prevent victims of hay fever
from serious attacks, and in many in
stances effect an absolute cure. Physi-
clans in several well-known Cleveland
hospitals are giving the new serum a
trial, and they have hopes that rem
edy has at last been discovered that will
destroy the disease, which has baff1ed
the doctors of the country for many

1t will be many years before the
caste prejudices of India are sufficient
ly broken down to give any sort Of
freedom to the Indian woman. From
bride she is numerically overwork-
ed, but from the day she gives up her
childhood to the day Of her death-it
may be for sixty years-she is seciud-
ed and sees nothing of the world out
side the walls of her family Enclosure.
Her happiness or misery, indeed, en-
trely depends on the manner in which
the affairs of the family are conduct
ed. The Indian woman, isolated from
the outer world by custom, is again by
custom isolated as far as practicable
from all the male members of that lit
he inner world to which she is con-
tined. Free intercourse, even with her
own husband, is not permitted her
while yet her youthful capabilities for
joyousness exist. No wonder then,
that absence of jollity is characteris-
tic Of the Indians generally, for the
happy laughter of a home is denied
them by custom in the most persistent
manner.

syrian Name Customs.

In Syria the names of children are
very odd. They suggest those of our
Indians, inasmuch as the child's name
is apt to be something which occurred
at the time Of its birth-somethin
which interested the parents. For in
stance, II you were child Of this
country your name In all probability
would be Stuffed Cabbage" or "Ho-
tel" or Civil War;" or something akin
to these. If child falls sick his name
Is Immediately changed. Instead of
bis parents thinking that a piece OF
pie or too much pudding disagreed
with him they attribute his sickness to
the fact that his name did not agree
with him. When one understands
what these names are one does not
wonder that the child may have fallen
sick because of Philadelphia

A Story of Ole RuII.

Few tales are told which are finer
than that of the encounter in earlier
years with the old Bernadotte himself
The king had referred TO the Norwe
gians as my Poles" at which Ole Bull
drawing himself up, inquired, "Wheg
has Norwegian shown himself dis.
loyal to the king?" Then, without
waiting for an answer, he announced
that he must at once take leave. Upon
this the king turned to him with an
lmperious II command you TO stayw
But the viollnist shrugged his Shout
ders and replied, "Then | will see, sire,
whether a Norwegian remains free i'm
the palace of the king Of Sweden" At
this, as Ole Bull would tell when re-
counting the scene, there came into the
face of the monarch the most winning
smile he had ever seen on human
countenance and, putting out his hand
Bernadotte exclaimed:
NAY, beg you to remain. A prince
should hear the opinion s2f all his peo-
pie" And the talk WHY then resulted
was the basis of deep confidence on
both sldes.-Century.

According to Professor Stewart, the
following is the explanation why cows
sometimes hold up or keep back their
milk, says American Cultivator: The
production of milk is due to nervous
action by which the glandular substance
Of the udder is broken down into milk
whenever the COW is influenced by suf.
fcient excitement of the right kind.
1t depends upon the structure and
function Of the udder just as much as
the sections of other glands do which
we know are wholly subject to set of
nerves controlling this distinct func-
ton. The udder Is not a mere vessel
for holding milk that is supposed to be
secreted continually and gathers in the
udder, as one may suppose a constant
dripping of any fluid would iii any
other receptacle. On the contrary. it
is gland made up of cellular sub
stance which grows by separation
from the blood of the matter required.
When ii has attained maturity OF
when the necessary nervous action oe-
ours ii breaks down into special
product-milk
Several experiments have been made
with the udderS of cows in milking con
dition that have been slaughtered, anu
an examination has been recorded OF
the udder of COW accidentally killed
on the railroad when going home 10 be
MIXED when she would have given the
usual ten quarts. The microscope
showed the minute globules of the it's
sue swollen and distended, hut the I'D
der contained practically no milk ex-
cept very small quantity that drained
from the divided tissue when cut
across.
We perceive that this function of the
COW is wholly nervous in its action as
indeed every other function of the ami
NAL Is, and If the due nervous excite
ment is absent there is no functional
action. 1t is wholly due to the right
influence on the nerves that the milk is
produced and flows from every ulti-
mate globule of the udder down
through all the ducts, small and great,
to the teat. Then, if all goes well anG
the COW Is In her natural, easily excit-
ed, nervous condition, as soon as the
mixer begins to touch the teats the
cow lets down the milk-that Is, she
does not exert herself to oppose the
action OF the nerves OF the mammary
glands.

According to the generally accepted
doctrine the dog days begin on July 3
and end on Aug. II, but there have
been disputes as to every possible
point about them. 1t was universally
agreed that they were connected with
the dog star. but which one? The
real dog star, Sirius, or ProcyOn, the
Little Dog? Then there were disagree
ments as to the particular astronomi-
cal performance of the star that fixed
the dog days; as to their number,
which varied in different estimates be-
tween thirty and fifty-four, and wheth-
er they were to be reckoned before,
after or around the stars perform
ances. The forty settled on precede the
rising of Sirius with the sun. A be-
lief grew up that In these days dogs
went mad, but terrestrial dogs have
really nothing to do with it. The
original belief was that the star and
sun together brought intense heat and
all sorts OF plagues.-London Chronicle.

A Divided Church.

There is very striking instance Of
religious federation In Heidelberg, an
ancient city of Germany. One Of the
most important buildings Of that town
Is the Church of the Holy Ghost,
Through the middle of this building
partition wall has been run, so that
services according to the Roman Cath
Ole and the Protestant ritual may be
held at the same time. In the year
1719 an attempt was made by Charles
Philip the Elector to deprive the Prot
estants OF their half Of the church, but
the townspeople made so strong re-
sistance that he was obliged to desist
and even to remove the electoral court
from Heidelberg to Mannheim.-Lon-
