FEVER is endemic catarrh. It
HAY caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. It is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the only
rational cure. The use of Peruna , how
ever , stimulates the nervous system to
resist the effect of the poisonous emana
tions and sometimes carries the victim
through the hay fever season without an
attack of the disease.
A large , number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who do
'not find it convenient to change their loca
tion to avoid Hay Fever , would do well
to give Peruna a trial. It has proven
of priceless value to many people. -
'WHO OWNS THE NORTH LANDS ?
/Question Somewhat Aonslcmlc , "but
Very Interesting- .
The voyage of the Canadian govern
ment cruiser Arctic to the far north
, suggests for consideration the ques
tion of the ownership of some far
northern lands. For many years ex
plorers of various nationalities , Brit-
" Isb , American , Scandinavian and
others , have ventured into the frozen
wilderness lying between the dominion
of Canada and the north pole , and have
there discovered lands hitherto un-
! lcuo\vn , and have named them and
planted flags upon them. There has
been much international rivalry in the
work of elaborating the arctic map and
of pushing on toward the pole. But
lucre has boon little thought in the
jiiinds of the adventurers or in that
of the public of the delimitation of in-
j-ternational boundaries in the realms of
. paleocrystic ice and eternal snow. But
now the Canadian government brings
that thought to mind in the intimation
that the dominion extends clear to the
.north pole , and that all the lands which
have been discovered and explored in
-those regions , no matter by whom , are
ojuder the British flag.
Academically , the quention is somewhat -
what complicated , and might form the
subject of interminable argument
There are those who hold that discov
ery and exploration give title to new
.Hands , while others insist that title ia
Luot perfected without actual occupation
Aand permanent settlement. But how

PESTS.
I OR several years Massachusetts has becn
fighting the gipsy moth and the browntail
moth , prolific insects , of which the caterpil
lars attack fruit , shade and woodland trees ,
and if not checked defoliate and ultimately
kill them.
These moths hare been spreading Into
neighboring States , and threaten to cover the country.
The problem has thus become a national one. Congress
and State Legislatures have been informed of the dan
ger ; State and national foresters and entomologists have
been stu'dying methods of extermination.
"What may be the career of these moths is suggested
by the story of the Colorado beetle , the common potato
bug. Fifty years ago its habitat was the then xmsettted
Rocky Mountain regions , where it lived on the sand-bur.
Civilization brought the potato , which proved richer
food , and the beetle multiplied and spread. By 1875 it
had reached the Atlantic. It is significant that when the
beetle fried to make a home in Europe it was promptly
stamped out What State thirty years ago would have
appropriated a few thousand dollars to stamp out this
bug , which has tone damage to the extent of many
millions.
'
Perhaps 'there was not money to spare or sufficient
knowledge to wage effective war against the potato bug.
But now our States are rich , and knowledge of insecti
cides show us the means of fighting the browntail and
the gipsy.
With due recognition of the good work that has been
done in Massachusetts , It remains true that the spread
of these moths has been due to lack of promptness and
continuity In the efforts to check them. States which
have not yet been infested may be benefited by the hard
experience of New England , and be ready for the pests
when they first appear. Foreknowledge , to be derived
from printed matter from Massachusetts and the national
government , may save many a tree standing hundreds of
miles from where the moths are now found. Youth's
Companion.
THE CRAZE FOR EUROPE.
I HE unprecedented prosperity of the United
States is manifesting itself in the desire to
visit Europe. No inclination along the lux
urious lines has been or Is quite so palpable.
It is borne out in the growth of the traffic
between our shores and Europe , which has
an unexampled and unlocked for develop
ment just as marvelous as our advancement in other di
rections.
The American who visits Europe is apt to go again If
his means warrant. He may be disappointed in some of
his anticipations , but on the whole he is well satisfied.
Some , however , aver that they could not be hired to make
the trip again. "America Is good enough for me ! " is an
expression often reiterated by this class. Few of them ,
however , abide by this decision. The majdrity , after
being home a few months , begin to think the crossing of
the Atlantic and the strolling around Europe not so bad
after all. And soon they are engaged In selecting a
steamer and getting ready for another sail across the
ocean. Not two but many voyages will be placed to their
credit before traveling is given up. Holding the patron
age of those who are persuaded to go , the steamship
companies have likewise the benefit of those whose in
creasing incomes permit this indulgence in first-class style
and whom the United States furnishes by the tens of
thousands each year. During the busy months this de
mand has grown to such proportions that intending pas
sengers in large numbers have had to abandon the trip
rather than to make it in undesirable quarters. Though
all the lines in the traffic are building steamers of great
COLONIAL CARELESSNESS.
D

Distressing accidents , such as we
find chronicled in the newspapers of
our colonial era , bring home vividly to
posterity the fact that dangers to life
and limb existed before the day of the
dynamite cracker and the automobile.
Children , rambling outdoors , and grown
persons 'besides , says the author of
"Americans of 177G , " would pick and
eat strange berries , roots and vegeta
bles that turned out poisonous ; and in
vain did newspapers warn against
mushrooms , hemlock , ivy and other
growing things.
Clumsiness at work on the part of
the injured or injurer did much mortal
mischief. A man dropped from his lad-
fler or scaffolding while repairing a
bouse , or was scalded to death by an
overturned kettle of potash or maple
sap. We read ofa father and three
sons -who were killed by suffocation ,
: rae after another , while descending into
i pit without first testing for carbonic
icid.
icid.People
People were careless , moreover , in
the use of powder and firearms when
the Revolutionary era began. At Hart
ford the legislature voted joyfully to
the townsfolk two barrels of powder
tor volleys in honor of the repeal of
ihe Stamp Act. The powder was kept
in a schoolhouse , and the militiamen ,
svhen filling their horns with it , left
30J3ie spilled on the floor.
The school children , piaying with
the black grains , set them on fire , and
the train led to a powder barrel , which
exploded with tremendous concussion.
Ehe schoolhouse -was blown up , and
nany children were killed.
A fire in Andover in 1770 burned to
the ground an old house next the meetinghouse
ing-house , and its three lonely and aged
Inmates perished in the flames. But
'providentially , " as one newspaper re-
narked , the church escaped unharmed.
Two old maiden sisters , it seems ,
were In the habit of smoking their
pipes' after they got into bed , whence ,
probably , the disaster. "Therefore , "
iflds the chronicler , "it may not be
unlss to caution people against such
I practice. "
A man should have sense , and a
rottfi *
size they cannot catch up with the clamor for summer
transportation. One company has ordered six new "steam
ers for next year , of immense tonnage , to see if there Is
such a thing possible as providing for all the Yankees
seeking Europe during the pleasant months of the year.
It is calculated that Americans will spend $400,000,000
in Europe this year and this outlay can give some idea
of the numbers and the wealth of our countrymen whose
expenditures go a considerable way In the enrichment
of hotels , restaurants , stores and places of amusements.
Some will lament that this money Is being circulated away
from home , but in return the various countries give us
sturdy toilers to aid in developing our country , thereby
increasing its wealth and in turn sending their employers
over the ocenn to swell the multitudes thronging the inns ,
ba/ars and playhouses. It is a reciprocal arrangement
and is not the impoverishing practice that some of our
people Imagine. JJtica Globe.
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH ANARCHISTS P
T is hardly to be supposed that there has
been wholly absent from the mind of any
one in the civilized world , since the recent
shocking crime In Madrid , the recurrence of
a question which has been many times in
sistently asked and never satisfactorily an
swered , and that Is , What ought to be done
with the anarchists ? It Is a surprising thing that there
has been no attempt by international agreement to crush
an organization which is not only the foe of all govern
ments , bui hostile to organized society. The total number
of anarchists is very small , they are known to the police
and the authorities of the countries where they live.
Why are they permitted to go on unmolested and mur
der one ruler after another ? Within the w-eek a Rus
sian anarchist has delivered an address in Washington
in German , in whidh he openly urged the killing of sovereigns
eigns by bombs ; and this is the avowed doctrine of the
organization. They not only proclaim the doctrine , but
lose no opportunity to carry It into effect , and society sits
with folded hands and lets them go on with their dev
ilish work. A little handful of malcontents , they have
declared war on society , and are at open war with it.
Why should not society declare Avar on them ? * * *
At least , every declared anarchist should be seized , con
demned and deported to some settlement from which es
cape would be impossible , and where they could enjoy
each other's society and be free to carry out their theories
on each other. It is hard to understand the apathy that
prevails among us oh the subject. Are we waiting for
another horror to rouse us to a sense of the duty of
self-protection ? Anglo-Saxons have not been wont to
deal with dangers that threaten them In such fashion.
Personal liberty is not to be interfered with , but no man
is free to go about spreading contagion. Free speech is
to be protected , but within the limits of law , and not
when it Inevitably leads to assassination and the over
throw of the established social order. Washington Post
POLITICAL "CORRUPTION" 131 ENGLAND.
1IE strictness with which England guards the
purity of elections is strikingly illustrated
in a case just reported , in which a mem
ber of Parliament has been unseated because
of "corrupt practices. , " He is a member of
the Liberal party , which has an overwhelm
ing majority in Parliament , and Is the eldest
son of a peer ; yet these circumstances did not avail to
save him from the penalty of the law. The most serious
charge against him was that he had corrupted , or tried
to corrupt , the voters by entertaining them at a garden
party. Just suppose such "corruption" of voters were for
bidden in this country ! New York Tribune.

among his students as towhat practical
use they expected to put their education.
Of the 17.9 replies received , seventy-eight
were those of students reared on the farm.
Of these , sixty-eight "desired to go into
practical farming and then to teaching
and experimental work. Of the sixty-nine
students reared in town or city , forty-
four wish to go into practical farming ,
fourteen into teaching , eight into land

Of the fourteen women students , two
want to become practical farmers and
twelve teachers of nature study and agri

fifteen wish to return to the farm and
three to enter experimental work. Prof.
