HAY FEVER PREVENTIVE. 
In his lecture before the Hufeland Medico- 
Surgical Society, of Berlin, Doctor Dunbar, the 
director of the hygienic institute at Hamburg, 
stated that although hay fever is not a dangerous 
disease, it is an extremely annoying one, from 
which thousands suffer during the summer. By 
painstaking and thorough investigation, Doctor 
Dunbar has established the fact that hay fever is 
caused by the poison contained in the pollen of 
many plants, 'grasses, and cereals. By a process 
similar to that of producing the diphtheria serum, 
he has succeeded in obtaining a hay fever pre¬ 
ventive by means of a continued vaccination of 
animals with the poison of pollen. An antitoxin 
is thus formed in the blood serum of the animal 
which possesses the property of neutralizing the 
poisonous effect of pollen in the nose and eyes of 
the patient. It is noteworthy that this serum, 
known in commerce as pollantine, unlike other 
serums, is not injected hypodermically, but simply 
applied to the nose and eyes. Voluminous and 
very favorable statistics have been collected as to 
the efficacy of the remedy.—Consul-General Guen¬ 
ther, Frankfort, Germany. 
Mart loved to hunt; but ducks seemed to bear 
a charmed life before him, he never got any. One 
day one of the patrolmen on the marsh picked up 
three wounded ducks, “killed with a paddle.” 
These he gave to Mart, telling him one was a 
buffle-head, another a pintail and the third a 
bluebill. That evening, when we were all sit¬ 
ting around, some one asked Mart how many 
ducks he got. He replied, with some pride, 
“Three.” “What are they?” “Oh, I’ve got a 
button-head, a pinback and a bluetail.” Did we 
smile? C. 
We have all heard of the maiden lady who, 
when praying for a husband, answered the owls, 
“Who! who!” with the words, “Anybody, oh 
Lord, anybody!” One would hardly expect a 
cool-headed man of mature' years to be so rat¬ 
tled at the idea of being lost as to so answer the 
broad-faced bird, but such is a fact. Mr. B. was 
bewildered in a slough where he and a friend had 
been duck shooting. As it began to grow dark 
an old owl sang out, “Who! who ! w-h-o 1 who !” 
“It‘s us, and we are lost,” yelled B. 
He knew before the words had fairly escaped 
him that he had made a mistake that would cost 
him many a “set ’em up.” He has not been dis¬ 
appointed. No-Name.

With the approach of the bass season your mind naturally turns to 
fishing tackle—and for the bass, which you know is a plucky little fighter, 
you naturally want a plucky little rod. There is no better bass rod 
made than the ‘•Bristol’* Steel Fishing Rod. It gives just enough, has 
strength to withstand the severe strains and is light. ^Different Bristols 
for different uses—all equally efficient. The "Bristol is the best all 
around rod made. Your dealer sells "Bristol” tods, but for your 
protection see that you get the genuine. 
It has the name “'Bristol" stamped on the reel seat.
